My friend had a birthday and we decided to go in the Georgian cafe.We ordered Khachapuri Khinkali lula kebab.Everything was very tasty and fresh.thanks tone kafe. read more

Great place. Not busy. If you get there, you must order the khachapuri. It was delicious.

Do not order from them, ever!!! It took them nearly 2 hours to deliver and the portions were tiny. I ordered $85 worth of food to get 1 small bag, not enough to feed 2 persons. The food wasn't great either. read more

The most tasty Georgian food I have ever try in New York. The place is cozy and stuff is very friendly. Even if I live in Bushwick, I would come back again. read more

After watching the NY Chow report, I had been waiting almost 2 tears to try this place out. I tried the khachapuri & was unfortunately less than impressed. The bread I received was burnt on top & when I received it it was cold. I'm still not even sure there was egg in it...it definitely didn't taste like it. After going home & reheating it it was better but the initial tasting wasn't amazing. The khachapuri has great reviews on here so maybe I just came at a bad time? Maybe I'll try it again someday but I was quite disappointed. Hopefully others will have a better experience. read more

As much as I would like to give a great review The customer service is horrible Good food but bad service!!! read more

I was very disappointed. I went in for khachapuri (cheese bread) and was given a $6 stale cracker. I went there at about 1pm and there is *no way* that bread was fresh or baked that day. It tasted like a cracker with hard bits of curd inside. Really gross. I had to throw it away. The lemon soda was also disgusting. It tasted like ginger, though there was no mention of that anywhere on the label. I would have gone back, but I'd already walked to the beach and it wasn't worth the time or effort. Maybe I'll give them one more chance, but I doubt it. read more

Far be it from me to contradict all the other five star reviewers! OK, I usually do, but Georgian Bread does one thing and does it really well: Georgian Bread. It's fresh baked bread stuffed with farmer's cheese. It's cheap, it's huge, it's fucking good and fills you up and reminds you of your childhood with grandma in the old country. Pretty unique for New York, too. I don't know if it's worth a trip all the way to Brighton Beach (unless you already live there), but it's in the vicinity of Coney Island if you're going there. I've been to Georgia and enjoyed the real thing, and, obviously, this isn't the same (the variety is always greater in the homeland), but for a city overrun with chintzy Italian restaurants, take-out Chinese joints, vanilla sushi bars, flaming frozen yogurt places, and the occasional banh mi shop, Georgian Bread offers a true international option most of us haven't seen before. Georgia?? Isn't that in the South?? There's a whole country called Georgia?? Yup. Birthplace of Stalin, bitchez! read more

Absolutely horrible experience and i am Georgian!!!!! It hurts me to say so but I was outraged!!! I had cheese boat.... it was disgusting! The egg felt like it was spoiled and the dough felt uncooked! Literally it was raw inside!! NOT only was the dish horrible, but the service was as well! We were waiting quite a bit and she didn't gave us menu until manager saw us sitting there for full ten min without menu, then i finally got her attantion and asked for chees boat and two cups of tea, after about more then 30 min i reminded her for our order and she said it has to be cooked , i said it should have been done by now on which she said she will check and in 2 min she brought our order but suprise suprise it was already cold so much so the row egg didnot mix to the cheese ( which is the main part of the dish , otherwise one will end up with slob) so it looks like If I had not reminded the waitress about order the dish would have been sitting on a counter getting cold, it already was cold when it got to me thus the cheese and egg didn't mix well and "adjaruli" becoming an utter slob. A horrible experience, I HONESTLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!! And I did not yet mentioned that I was charged for two cups of black tea $8.00 .... these all makes me VERY angry and extremely disappointed !!!! read more

I wish I could give them NO stars!!! Just walked in and the people behind the counter were fighting. Then I got looked over with disdain!!! I walked out without buying a thing. Will not be back ever!! The previous owners were much nicer. read more

Delicious place, friendly people, and they even let you see the cool oven! My heart is with this place and I would travel always to visit it. Tip: get it to go and enjoy it on the beach with a Tarragon lemonade. read more

Great bread but the restaurant food is SO horrible . Oversaulted meat yuk . Bad place to go

Don't know what was worse - the service, the 50-degree temperature inside, the wait time, or the food. We have ordered house salad which was made with green-ish tomatoes, lobio, chakapuli, hinkali, and mtsvadi. We also ordered different soft drinks but waiter brought us one bottle of cream-soda. We had to wait for almost an hour to get hinkali but when the waiter brought them in, we asked for a take-out. Tried to eat them at home - they were non-edible. Dumplings from a local Chinese place taste much better. The waiter never stopped by our table to ask if we need anything. Overall, a horrible dining experience. If you really want to taste Georgian cuisine, go to Mtskheta. read more

I came here with a friend who traveled extensively in Georgia, and we have been talking about nothing else in the months since. The shop is small and intimate, the staff is incredibly friendly and, most importantly, the food is all outstanding. We got the hachipuri, the boat-shaped bread, the eggplant spread, and the spinach-walnut spread, and everything was spectacular. The hachipuri, in particular, is perfectly indulgent- hot steaming bread, with gooey, salty cheese oozing out... if that doesn't sound appealing to you, then skip the trip and leave more for the rest of us! Absolutely worth the schlep down to Brighton Beach. read more

if you like cheese breads from around the world, add this one to your list. i do and i did, and i was very pleased. the khachapuri is basically a boat-shaped bread filled with cheese. they also sell boat-shaped breads that aren't filled with cheese, along with ones that have meat as well as cheese. i am certainly no expert when it comes to georgian cuisine, or boat-shaped breads, but this place is a solid pick if you are in brighton beach/coney island. read more

My previous review was in regards to this place before the management changed. I recently paid them a visit again with my girlfriend. We felt really unwelcomed (perhaps because we are interracial, and not part of the normal Russian-speaking demographic?) and the waiter looked annoyed every time he had to tend to us. Their $7 khachipuri turned sub-par since the change in management (I have had better khachipuri from Russian grocery stores like "Belka" on 20th avenue) and their Kharcho tasted very bland. Definitely won't be coming back here. read more

I am not sure if anyone who has not lived in the former USSR is likely to know much about Georgian cuisine, but it was the cuisine of choice in Moscow in the old days, since it offers a range of flavours somewhat similar to the Mediterranean, which is a welcome change from Russian fare. Much as I'd have liked to have had satsivi, chakhokhbili or something more substantial during my visit, I only had room (and time) for khachapuri, the famed pastry filled with Georgian cheese called suluguni (reputedly Stalin's favourite!). The khachapuri was excellent--very flaky pastry, savoury cheese, and served at just the right temperature. But...the service is very Soviet-style, with servers who barely can muster the energy to speak to customers, and they automatically address everyone in Russian (I have no idea if they even speak English, since I conducted my business in Russian rather than risk incurring their wrath). read more

Excellent bread similar to Nan. I want to go back and try the khachapuri with egg and cheese. It looked delicious. See the pictures .

it doesn't get any better than this, delicious soft loaves that come right out of an underground oven, served to you still warm....they're only 2 dollars and i basically ate a whole loaf while walking from there to the beach... read more

Super delicious ! I came into this shop on a cold windy day and needed food. I could barely remember the name of the bread so I asked the owner for the best one. Which I think was the katchapuri..it was filled with creamy cheese that was slightly salty like a mix of ricotta and mozzarella but better. The bread was hot and toasty and super filling. The only thing that can make this better is if there is hot sauce or some type of herby dip. Maybe next time I will try to get one of the other sauces. read more

Food was just okay. Customer service is none existent. They seemed reluctant to even serve us. Won't be going back.

Finally a nice little Georgian cafe in town!

Just got bread, amazing amazing amazing. It looked like a mutant cricket bat, too.

Found the place courtesy of prominent placement on Yelp and tried the acclaimed Khachapuri. It's a warm, flaky, moist but not greasy bread, filled with lots of a mildly tasty curd cheese, sort of a cross between cottage cheese and feta. Makes for a nice filling $6 lunch for the boardwalk, albeit a bit monotonous. Would be great as part of a Georgian mezze - or would that be zakuski? read more

Very overpriced. Service is non-existent. We were mostly ignored by our waitress and were just plain uncomfortable. The place wasn't even that busy in the early afternoon, maybe two or three other small tables occupied. Wouldn't recommend it and wouldn't come back. read more

best georgian food! very cozy place.

The bread was, as advertised, very good. I tried both the cheese bread and the 'regular' bread. Both piping hot. I went home immediately so we could have a carb-high hot breakfast. Good stuff. I thought, while waiting, that I might get shoved to the side while the regulars were attended to. That didn't happen and the people were very nice. Would like to try the café but it'll have to be about 25 degrees F cooler! It's rather warm in there right next to the bakery. It was much further than I thought from Cropsey Avenue, but that's hardly their fault. In Zagatese: "Worth the trip"! read more

Great bread! Worth the trip... Must have the greasy cheesy bread. Yummy!

Love this place! The bread is amazing. Each time my husband and I stop in for a few loaves we say we're going to come back for the food. Haven't made it yet but definitely on the to do list! read more

I went a few times to this place with my wife and it is a hit or miss. It looks like the place is lacking some management however. I once placed an order from their Yelp page and when I arrived to pick it up in Yelp's suggested 30 minute time frame, the order was not even there. Better yet they had no idea what Yelp even is, blaming everything on the marketing guy. I mean really? You have so much feedback here, create a menu on the site and then claim that you don't even know what that is. The person in charge was not apologetic blaming everything on the marketing guys. You hired them right? I had a similar issue with them trying to redeem a cash value of my expired groupon. It seems like these guys live in stone age. The service is decent, the food is great, I will give them that, but the last time ate inside, fruit flies were flying all over my food and their wine selection was rather poor. I tried 3 different types of wine which were all bland. So I have mixed bag of feelings about this place, but they do need to get their act together. read more

This is the way bread is supposed to be. People who live their lives eating bread off grocery store shelves aren't truly living. It's fresh and made by people who care in a method untouched by time. A unique experience and a great memory. I came in out of the cold and tried some of everything. I wasn't familiar with what to order but they were happy to share their food and by doing so their culture as well. The khachapuri was incredible, I'd never had anything so satisfying and hearty. Also I had never tried Georgian Fizzy Drink before and the pear lemonade I brought home my wife loved, even though she wished I'd brought more. Don't worry about her though she was still plenty happy that I had the sense to bring home lots of extra bread for the week so we could eat like kings. And the price was incredible, for such craftsmanship and quality you'd expect to pay a premium, but they are very fair business! You can tell the neighborhood truly loves and appreciates them. The village voice certainly had it right in this article: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroad/2011/02/khachapuri_at_g.php read more

I have been to this place three times with friends. First two times my visits were pretty good. The food was delicious, we ordered adjaruli khachapuri both times and they were full of cheese and tasted very good. However, our third visit turned out to be a disaster and that is why i am giving this place only one star. The quality of food was good but the service was terrible. After our order was served, immediately we noticed that adjaruli khachapuri was quite smaller compared to other times we had eaten at this place. It was very odd because i had ordered the same size ( large khachapuri ) the previous times too. They offer small and large khachapuri. Not only the size was smaller but on the bill i was charged 50 cents more than i had paid before, however the menu listed the same price i had previously paid. So what i am trying to say is that i am sure they brought us a small adjaruli but charged us for a large. I will not be returning to this place. read more

authentic decor, great bread, salads, but hachapuri and mushrooms baked in cheese app were too oily/heavy

I live in the area, but this was my first visit here. I got there at 6PM on Saturday and asked if there was any bread. Strange question, but there only was a man standing behind a tiny, virtually empty counter and store. The whole area of the store (not including the back) is probably 4'x4'. He said to me in about 10 minutes. (as i waited, at least 4 other people came and waited too.) I watched as an old Russian put strips of dough on clay molds and stuck them in a round tandor oven pot. A few minutes later, out came a steaming loaf (about 2 feet long and anywhere from 1/2 inch to 2 1/2 inches thick) from this oven. I paid $2.00 for the loaf and walked out. My wife and each broke off a piece. It was amazing. I immediately went back in and got another (before they were all gone) The bread was crunchy on the outside and sold and really tasty on the inside with a hint of salt. I love fresh bread and this was beyond fresh (and good) I also asked about his cheese bread (which everyone raves about) he said that there wasn't anyone there to make it. Maybe next time ill be lucky. Is it worth the trip to go there. Yes, but it is really out of the way for most people unless you are in Coney island or Sheepshead bay. read more

This place is fantastic. We came upon it the evening of August 10, really just looking for the bread, but as it turned out, that was the opening night of its adjacent restaurant. So not only did we get to try the cheese bread everyone's been raving about (Kachapuri), but also many of their menu items. Unfortunately, I can't remember any of the names of the dishes we ate except for the Khinkali (dumplings similar to Uzbek Manty or Chinese soup dumplings). We had a "trio" appetizer of veggies mashed with garlic, ground walnuts, etc. (green beans, and also eggplant, and also spinach). Unbelievably great. And then we also had a beef "stew" (which seemed more like a soup, as it was more brothy than stewy). Also incredibly awesome. Plus they bring you a giant basket of their regular bread baked in the "Toné" (tandoor oven). The owners and bakers and waiters are delightful, and we love this neighborhood anyway. Highly recommended. read more
