Menu
Nella B.

Very cute little place with a very nice menu with many options to choose from. Service was very good. Also, breakfast was delicious slightly on the pricier side, but it was worth it. I would like to go back and try some other choices.

Split pea soup
Brooke K.

If you're looking for an old school brooklyn neighborhood place this is it. Service is friendly, people that eat here are regulars and the feel of the restaurant is what I miss about the old NYC. I came in and ate at the bar, didn't know what to order and I was told by a nice man sitting at another table that the split pea soup is really good so o ordered that with a side of bread. The soup bowl is huge and the split pea soup was really good! It had slices of ham in it and the bread tasted like it had garlic powder on it so I dipped the bread in the soup and it was really tasty. Perfect lunch for winter and the prices here are good. I'll be back soon :)

California Burger with Hand Cut French Fries
Kate N.

The food here is so good, it's an absolute shame that is hardly ever open! So far what I have tried has been surprisingly great quality and flavorful. Even the plain drip coffee is fantastic, which I was absolutely not expecting to be that good since diner coffee isn't usually something to write home about. I really loved the burger I had my first time there because it's cooked how you want it, and the fries are amazing. Service is friendly and efficient. My only complaint is that the seating isn't super comfortable, its actually fairly uncomfortable. However, it's not enough to to knock off a star.

Mexicano burger and Diablo Burger with Sweet Potato Fries
Aleena G.

Good spot for a cheap price and great food. Definitely if I want a burger in a classic diner this would be my spot to go with Brooklyn locals. Ambiance can get lively on the weekends and service was sweet to my bf and I. Go to this spot to for the simple yet yummy diner experience. :)

OMG don't miss out on this hidden family friendly gem. Everything everyone had was amazing, super large portions and amazing hospitality. The sangria's were fresh made. Chips of fruit to enjoy at the end. But the sweet potato fries were on point, crispy, hot, and .... You fill in the blank when you give them a try. Come out and give this 5 star family friendly restaurant a holla

an omelet and a croissant
Rachel S.

Visited the area and came across this place. Nice small family owned restaurant. Service was great, got my food fairly quickly which was good because I was starving. I had a veggie omelet with homefries and a croissant. Everything was delicious and hit the spot.

Absolutely cooked to perfection! And soooo delicious
Jason R.

Places like this rarely exist anymore. Truly a throwback to old school Brooklyn food spots. The staff is always warm and friendly. The ambiance is inviting and perfect. But the food! Next level delicious!! I had the hungry man meal. Requested for my potatoes and sausage to be well done, beyond delicious they way they make the potatoes here. Truly a hidden gem in Brooklyn. Highly highly recommend it.

Western omelette
Charlie D.

Great little breakfast place I found while visiting Brooklyn. Not very big inside but food was good and service was great. Plenty of food for a reasonable price.

Texas Burger Sweet Potato Fries
Peter C.

I'm surprised that I don't come to this place more often. It's conveniently located on Ave U and the food is delicious! Came here with a group of friends and everyone was happy with what they got. The service was excellent as well I got the Texas burger which came with bacon, sautéed onion, chipotle sauce, and the greens. Everything complimented each other very well and this burger was full of flavor. I was so full after and the presentation was excellent as well. In no way was this burger dry The sweet potato fries is an excellent option to get. They are crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. Paired with ketchup or honey mustard, it is perfection. I would opt for this over the regular fries because those weren't as crunchy. Will definitely be coming back here again

The paper straw they use to serve with hot chocolate float
Rosalia X.

This place is ehh, I do love the amount of cheese they put in the omelette. I wish they spread the chocolate chips around more in the pancakes. The chocolate chips were all in the middle. I don't recommend the milkshake or the hot chocolate float. You couldn't even taste the chocolate in the milkshake and I'm pretty sure for the hot chocolate float its powered. I'm not sure why they serve hot chocolate float with a paper straw because my straw broke. They forgot about the drinks then they forgot about the cold slaw my boyfriend ordered.

Do the cheese fries use like real cheese melted on top or a cheese sauce like Nathan's because a cheese sauce is what I prefer?

We use real cheese melted

The place has character for sure! Seating inside or out. I arrived early - around 8 - so it was…read morebusy but mostly to-go orders. I'm sure with a later time, it would be busier. I ordered an avocado bagel on seven grain. It was all delicious. There was lettuce and cucumber that was not listed on the menu, but that's ok. The whole thing had a lemony flavor that normally I don't like, but it went well with the other flavors. The egg was over medium, which they didn't ask me how I wanted, but I'm sure they'd change it if you asked. They were very responsive, polite, and quick.

Cafe Madeline is a fun brunch spot with a cozy atmosphere but it defs can get super busy. If you…read morecan, come early to beat the brunch rush. The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
