Vineapple Cafe is a cute neighborhood staple. Easy for a walk in & sit brunch or quick to go pastry bite and coffee/tea in the morning to power you through a neighborhood stroll. I've also come here for a casual dinner for date night or to catch up with a few friends. Come to think of it, I've even brought my parents here. Vineapple feels like a place for Brooklyn heights locals. Tucked off Henry street, the exposed brick and patio garden make you feel like you're visiting a good friend's place where you're guaranteed a relaxed good time. The open kitchen and simple coffee/cocktail menu make you feel right at home. Sometimes I feel like this is where F.R.I.E.N.D.S would have filmed their Brooklyn spinoff as its own version of Central Perk. Vineapple is a neighborhood staple and safe bet for any meal or company you're with. I've never left disappointed. The service takes good care of you and is friendly, welcoming, and helpful all around. Spots like Vineapple make New York feel like home. That said, I haven't marked a favorite dish here. Everything I've had has been solid but never coming in with a specific craving. read more

Oh my godddd the food is PHENOMENAL! We went for brunch and got the breakfast quesadilla and BEC flatbread. Cocktails are ok, fairly standard. Backyard was cute and they made it work with a tv back there for World Cup viewing. Service is ok, they're busy and trying their best. Food is enough to get us back! read more

Vineapple - Breakfast Quesadilla, B.E.C Flatbread, Hash Browns - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Fantastic brunch on a Monday! Surprisingly, it got pretty busy for lunch on a Monday, so I can only imagine how busy it gets on a weekend. This is a cozy spot to sit and catch up over lunch or also work remotely. They have a lot of specialty cafe drinks that sound really fun to try. I got the sea salt maple matcha and I enjoyed those flavor combinations a lot. I ordered the lunch special with the sandwich and the soup. For sandwich, I ordered the turkey club which had seasonal ingredients like the squash and was reminiscent of a thanksgiving meal in a sandwich. The soup was the butternut squash which is seasonal. It was the perfect amount of food leaving me feeling full but not too full. Servers were really friendly and accommodating. We did have to ask a couple times for water refills, and we were a table of 4 so the carafe would empty faster of course. read more

Attended an event at Vineapple and it's clear that this staff knows how to host a party. The service was attentive, prompt and kind. The good was good... My favorites were the penne and the tiramisu (not pictured). Personally, the pesto left something to be desired. The biggest surprise for me was the crostini platter. There was one with cherry ... I didn't know I needed that... And I want more! Good selection of both cocktails and cocktails, with a cute outdoor patio. I will certainly return next time I'm in DUMBO. Go support this family run business! read more

Was looking for a fun brunch/lunch spot and came across this place. They had a lot of indoor seating but we wanted to sit outside. The hostess walked us out towards the back and it was kind of hidden backyard vibe that was very lowkey. Our male server was so friendly, funny and had a great personality. We had some small requests and he was able to make it happen for us which goes a long way. The coffees were great and they had some nice healthy options. I got the club and soup combo which I enjoyed because it was the perfect amount of food. Their fresh juices were also refreshing and we had a great time altogether. read more

I came here visiting from San Diego. The place is decorated very nicely & it's a trendy place in a good area off Clark St, There's a spot to buy baked goods along with several indoor & outdoor tables. We got sat right away for Monday lunch. I ordered a sweet peach iced tea which was delicious. I also ordered the Brooklyn Heights breakfast. The service was very friendly and welcoming. I liked the taste of the meal though the eggs were undercooked for my preference. Also I didn't like the sourdough toast much as I wish it was softer and more sourdough tasting. The bowl of fruit was massive and was most of my meal. The pineapple was so juicy. The prices are around 15-25$ a person for a meal. They also serve a variety of drinks. I would come back if I was in the area & try a trivia night! read more

Lovely restaurant & bar a few steps off Henry St! Was rather quiet for a Saturday night, so service was highly attentive and quick. The food was excellent and came in generous portions. The hummus was particularly good and comes with both fresh bread and crudite. The wild boar ragu was also delicious, and it is great to see a proper vegetarian main on the menu with the braised greens & beans. read more

I love the deceiving amount of space this restaurant has, as it looks like a small and quaint place from the outside. There's a beautiful outdoor patio and a nice sized indoor seating area too. The menu is diverse and also good for vegetarian options, making brunch easy for meeting with friends! read more

Vineapple - Egg Scramble with Toast (Daytime) - Italian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Vineapple is on Pineapple Street. I know, what a cool name, right? They had some menu up front with baked goods right there, for anyone wanting to get some drinks and quick food to go. Since we were there to dine in, we walked towards the back. In the back, there were several tables and chairs, in a very cozy atmosphere. Through the back door, they have a lovely patio with tables and chairs as well. We went there for a brunch. We had Cold Brew because we wanted to get a drink in their pineapple glasses. LOL. Cold brew was strong and good coffee. We also had Sparkling Lavender Cucumber Matcha. It was a very interesting drink that works so well! Very refreshing, not sweet, not too fizzy. For food, we ordered Brunch Breakfast Sandwich and Shakshuka. Scramble egg was so moist and juicy! Bacon was crunchy. Parmesan fries were very potato-y. It was a really nice sandwich, very tasty and satisfying. I enjoyed every bite! With the Shakshuka, we added Chorizo for additional $5. Shakshuka was packed with flavor. Chorizo was amazing, egg was cooked perfectly, avocado was just ripe and fresh. It was a really nice shakshuka! We had such nice brunch there, we decided to go back for more! During our second visit, we ordered Shaken Lavender Latte. The coffee was strong, amazing taste with perfect sweetness. Very good latte! For food, this time, We went with The 71 Brunch Burger, and Bacon Egg & Cheese Pizza. The Burger, some say it is the best burger in Brooklyn and I can understand. It had full of flavor, super juicy, and bits of pineapples in there which were great. Pizza was much larger than expected. It would've been enough to share among the two people, plus maybe a dessert to share. It had lots of gooey eggs and bacon, it was a perfect brunch pizza. It was a really good pizza, so satisfying and filling. We had a really nice brunch here for the second time. During our both visits, server Eddy took care of us. He was very friendly, fun, and courteous. It has quickly become one of our favorite brunch spots! read more

This is a MUST for brunch! We checked this spot out for a weekend brunch. I did make a reservation but otherwise it looked like a brief wait. It's cozy, casual, and a little loud but a nice atmosphere . They have an adorable little garden seating area out back but it was a bit chilly, so opted for inside. Service was super attentive and our meals were out within 10 mins of ordering. A good sized brunch menu which was great. I tried the Matcha Martini ($16) which was delicious! The Bloody Marys that others in my party had were a much larger portion but very strong. I tried the breakfast burrito ($16) with avocado which was a great combo of hearty flavors and well cooked. The small portion of potato wedges that came with it were also well cooked and delicious. My daughter got the French toast which was decadent, tasty and down right delicious! 10/10 order this! read more

Brooklyn Heights Brunch - Classic options with a welcoming vibe There are always great options for brunch in Brooklyn and we were looking for the perfect place within a short walking distance of the Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO on a recent weekend. On the fruit-inspired named streets of Brooklyn Heights, Vineapple pops out of the scenery of surrounding restaurants and spots. The front end has a to-go coffee and other options but in the back, there is a full restaurant with a secret garden seating area. Eddie welcomed us with the food and drink specials. Upon our earlier arrival, we saw the wave after wave of people coming in as the morning progressed. Also, make a reservation for the outdoor space because if you don't have it, the outdoor space was booked or it all can get rained out because it is not completely covered by a roof. For the drinks, their coffee is quite strong and it comes in cute glass pineapple-shaped glasses which makes it fun. I recommended going with a latter or one of their specialties. We have had the barista drink of the week, latte, and their cold brew. For the brunch menu, there are a ton of options but be careful about the sizing. I ordered the bacon egg cheese pizza and that item could easily feed two or three people so I would be mindful of the size. We have had a few different brunch items. 1. Shashuka has poached eggs, zesty marinara, avocado & parmesan, served with toasted bread and we added chorizo for an extra $5. 2. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Pizza has pizza romano topped with bacon, egg, mozzarella and arugula. 3. The Brunch Breakfast sandwich has soft scrambled eggs with asiago, arugula, and house-made tomato jam, served with parmesan potatoes. Eddie and the staff made it special each time that we visited Vineapple and look forward to coming back soon. read more

The shakshuka was basically tomato sauce with a tiny egg and half a quarter of an avocado. Less than one full toast and they charged me when I asked for more. It was so disgusting - an insult to several countries. After an hour they told us that we needed to leave because they had a 90 min limit. I was so over this place I couldn't wait to get out. Do not recommend . read more

Used to come by here back in the 2010s and so happy it's still up and running! Nestled on a side street in Brooklyn Heights, this cafe offers to go service or sit in service now. I got a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, side of bacon, iced mocha latte and a matcha cocktail. Everything was delicious and the service was friendly! Always loved this place and will continue to stop by while in town! read more

Decent cafe tucked away on Pineapple street in DUMBO. There's a lot of seating inside, which makes it convenient for meeting friends. I came with a small group for breakfast. The breakfast was good, though nothing too special on the menu that immediately stood out to me. I ended up getting the breakfast sandwich ($10), and recommend the bialy bread if you want something more flavorful! I enjoyed the tomato jam, though wish there had been a bit more. The sandwich was pretty heavy, buttery, and cheesy though, in case you're looking for something lighter. Service was great, and the restaurant / cafe was clean and had a nice soft ambience. it read more

Didn't know what to expect. What caught my eye on the menu was the burger so my friend and I were of like minds and we both ordered one. If you are hungry, you will be very happy you ordered it because it is huge and will need two hands to hold it so you can bite around it. Most of us even those with a big mouth will find it hard to handle. It's no wonder because it is packed with a fried egg, pickled onions, lettuce, tomato, cheese and spicy mayo on top of a thick burger. Just writing about it is making my mouth water with the fond memories of the experience. Don't forget to ask for extra napkins cuz you'll need them. However what wasn't plentiful was the small serving of steak fries that came with it. But the hearty burger made up for it so I guess it's acceptable. Don't know what the rest of the menu taste like but if it's anything like the burger, it will be yummy. One of my top burger experiences for sure!!! Check out the picture ... A big shout out to Eddie our server who was very nice and friendly. Thanks. read more

Popped in to Vineapple without a reservation on a Saturday AM and they were great about fitting us in (although I would recommend getting a resy) -- food was delicious, I got the egg scramble with olive bread (sooooo tasty!) and a massive side of fruit. The waiter we had was super attentive and kind, and was able to make my friend's order GF easily. The spot is tucked away but bustling with energy and overall was a fabulous place to spend 2 hours! read more

My friend and I stopped by vineapple because she loved the pictures on their site, so we gave it a try. The atmosphere was cool, and our waiter was friendly, attentive, and cool. The food was okay, nothing special. A mishap with adding mushrooms to our mac & and cheese. The mushrooms were brought over later. So, the taste was their, and bread crumbs were good. Burrata, I never had before was surprisingly good. The polenta fries were different but okay. However, the pan seared chicken was disappointing. The chicken was overcooked, and we received more arugula than chicken. You could barely see the chicken in the picture, though the flavors were their. The drink I had was really good and I had two. read more

A friendly local recommended this super cute little cafe. We just stopped for coffee and a cookie and both were delicious. The staff here was very nice and let us sit in the pretty shaded garden area in the back with our coffee and cookies and it was a perfectly relaxing and enjoyable rest stop on our journey through Brooklyn. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for a quick coffee and tea. The place is so chic and the person who took my order was super nice. I love that the place is full of plants and colors. Check it out for a quick breakfast. I also saw signs that they have events everyday of the week! read more

my brother and i came to vineapple for a quick dinner -- it has a cafe / coffee shop front and acts as a cozy place to study, transforming fully to a restaurant as the evening hits. we were seated fairly quickly and the service was overall friendly but not super attentive (took a while to get our order taken and our check even though the place was mostly empty, but we weren't in too much of a hurry). we shared a truffle cream and lemon crostini to start, and while the truffle wasn't overtly present, the citrus added a nice touch for a refreshing starter. my brother chose the cacio e pepe mac as a main while i went with the rigatoni which seemed like a staple. i generally enjoyed the rigatoni, although i don't think there was much to write home about. everything came out quickly and seemed pretty fresh. read more

Adorable little cafe that's been around over a decade in BK Heights. I remember when it was a charming coffee shop with couches and books in the back and now it's a fully-fledged breakfast-lunch-dinner spot. Lively lunches and a good spot to bring your laptop and work with wifi and a couple outlets. Get their frozen ice coffee if it's available! Their chicken pesto sandwich was just okay. I'd try their egg sandwich next and the atmosphere is awesome. read more

What a find! We happened to be biking to Brooklyn and this showed up as a brunch option close to Brooklyn Bridge. I am so glad we stopped by. The food was amazing. Let's start with the ambiance though. It is a small cafe. We stopped by on a summer day and sat outside so it worked out well. I realized after seeing more reviews that they have a backyard as well. The service was nice and quick. You place your order inside and pay and they bring the food out to you. For the food I got their iced mocha with oat milk. It was so good. I wish I had taken another one. It's served in a super cute pineapple glass. For the meal we got the Shakshuka which was amazing, the berry French toast which was amazing and the Parmesan potatoes which were amazing (due to the dipping sauce). So yeah, the food is amazing. read more

Nice little café in Brooklyn Heights. Cozy vibe and friendly staff. I had avocado toast and a cappuccino -- both were really good. Service was a bit slow, but not a big deal. Great place to relax. I'll be back. read more

Great variety on the menu, friendly attentive service but a bit loud. French toast was outstanding! Portions were well sized.

A casual, slightly quirky little gem in Brooklyn Heights. It has great breakfast options (coffee, sandwiches) in the morning, but in the afternoon, walk to the back dining room for cafe style & bar seating and have a well-crafted cocktail (their Maple Woods is a nice bourbon drink). A limited menu, but what they have is done very well. We love to order appetizers so we'll get their hummus, polenta fries (a must!) and chicken skewers. It's reasonably priced, and you'll see some people on their laptops enjoying a nosh while working, and couples as well. For two of us having a couple of drinks each plus the apps, we were under $100 including tip. Great neighborhood spot! (And they have outdoor space too!) read more

Food came too slow. Told us only can stay for 1 hours , but waited for food for 30 mins. Definitely not kid friendly place.

Came here to meet a friend for dinner. This place is cute with the pineapple decor and also being on pineapple street! The place is pretty spacious with big tables and a good number of seats. We came on a Sunday evening and it was pretty quiet. The owner also wanted to close earlier since we were the only party there so be aware if you go towards the evening to give yourself enough time. They closed the kitchen around 8pm and was nicely asked to close up at 8:50pm. For food, we tried 2 of their pastas which were decent, but not worth the price. Overall, it was a mediocre experience. read more

Came for brunch on a freezing day and loved it. This is the perfect spot for food and vibes. Service was very quick and I loved my cookie from their bakery up front !! I got the London fog cookie I think? It's a tea cookie. Was delicious and had a nice chewy texture. Everything tasted amazing. I loved the breakfast sandwich. The matcha latte was okay had too much milk in it. read more

Had a wonderful brunch here in their covered, heated, dog friendly greenhouse out back. The cocktails here are top notch, had a cold brew/bourbon cocktail, or 5, that was so good I still think about. The bacon, egg and cheese risotto was a playful take and well executed. Can't wait to go back and try all the cocktails. read more

Conveniently placed close to Clark St Station, and a really cute place. Our service was great. Very helpful and friendly server. Food came in good time. The drinks were by far the best part of the experience. Unfortunately the food was really lackluster for me. I got the salmon which was underwhelming. Very simple flavors which isn't bad (it was tasty), but I could've just made it at home... For dessert, I was really excited to try the bread pudding but it was dryer than I expected. We were recommended raspberry gelato and I don't think the two paired well. Rather unfortunate that I didn't fully enjoy my experience, but I can vouch for their drinks! read more

My friends and I just happened to stumble across this place and we are so glad we did. They have great happy hour specials. We got some delicious pizza bagels to share and had a variety of cocktails. They have a great coffee selection as well. The espresso martini flight was a must try for me. Staff was so friendly. Will definitely return to this place. read more

A classic brunch spot serving classic brunch food, I would recommend Vineapple if you are looking to catch up with a group of friends in a cozy, casual atmosphere. The servers were attentive and sweet and had great recommendations and we were seated quickly even though our whole party had not yet arrived, which adds brownie points in my book. None of the food shocked the conscience or was super experimental, but everything is reliable and you'll be sure to find something you enjoy. read more

I came here for a evening meal with quite a few foodies and wow this place is a hidden gem. The great: 1. Just simply amazing pasta with quite a few creative options (I had the cacio and pepe macroni and cheese. 2. In the era of inflation the price points are simply amazing... very much a great deal 3. This place has the fun yet slightly quirky Brooklyn feel 4. Can we say really fun and well made cocktails 5. The serve was fun, funny, and also took care of special requests The bad: 1. Mocktails are the same price as the regular drinks This is great for: - Group dinners - Fun people to dine with - Girl's night out - Pre-game for singing at the bar - When you need fun drinks This is bad for: - Break ups (too fun of a location) - People who don't like Italian food - People who believe you have to pay out of your teeth for quality food - People afraid of Brooklyn read more

Came here for a weekday lunch. Though pricey, the food was done very well. Got the mushroom scramble ($16), which came with olive bread toast. Very different. Substantial. I also asked for a jam which was great. It was not too sweet. Matcha latte ($8 for a large) was nice and frothy. I did see some people working on some computers so that might be something to try one day. read more

Great neighborhood spot! Was able to be seated quickly, and they accommodated an extra person to my reservation. I tried the cacio e pepe mac and cheese, as well as the kale caesar salad - both extremely delicious. The drinks were fantastic as well, and my group had two rounds each! Will definitely be back. read more

Came in for brunch over the weekend and did not disappoint! We got some brunch cocktails and split the breakfast burrito (we werent starving, but wanted to try at least something off their delicious looking brunch menu). Burrito comes with your choice of protein filling, and we opted for chorizo (which was more Spanish style and Mexican, and we really liked it). It also was pretty busy (esp for 1-2 on a Sunday) so if you know you want to go here, best to make a reservation ahead of time! read more

This was an intentional find for a few friends meeting in the middle of the city post work on a random Tuesday on the second last week of September 2025. We made it in time for their happy hour and got to order their 3 dollars off regular price drinks. The drinks were mid to say the least in strength and taste. Ironically while the 13 dollars per drink seems like a great deal at first, the glasses size to serving ratio is a joke and should be illegal. While the staff were all wonderful and polite, and the ambiance cutesy, the food was also really not it. This was an Italian place or purported to be based off the dinner menu but the rigatoni was just ok- the rapini looked and tasted like none of the ingredients belonged together and the chicken Milanese was decent. One aspect that was very good was the appetizers off the happy hour menu: the polenta "fries" and the hummus were super delicious and fresh, as were the breads carrots and sauces served with them. Overall I would not go back to this place for the cost to food ratio as well as the quality of most of the items. read more

I really like the space here! They have a cafe in the front and a bigger seating area for the restaurant in the back. Everything was fairly priced and very solid for the area! I don't know if it's groundbreaking unique but I do enjoy their food, service, and space! Brooklyn heights needs more places like Vineapple in my opinion! read more
