RJ DuganSeptember 5, 2013Check the specials. If the shrimp with pimenton is on the menu, call me immediately—and save me a seat. The Roasted Daurade dish will change a bad day to good. Great cocktails. Great espresso bar.Upvoted Jan 29
Pamela CastilloSeptember 15, 2015The fried chicken salad is the only salad I order with joy. The fish tacos are also killer. Brunch there is also a pleasure, since it's less crazy than most places with that quality in Williamsburg
Strong americano, great service, tasty dishes. Love the whole trout w mushrooms, the burger (add an egg), and the fresh lemon poppy seed scones in the morning
Polina WeitzMay 20, 2019The polenta with a poached egg was amazing! But the avocado toast was under-seadoned and the pancake was a bit small. Overall fun vibe and nice decor. Will be back to try more dishes on their menu.
J.M. SaponaroOctober 28, 2015From a French guy point of view (if this can convince you more): Café Colette is simply my favorite restaurant in Williamsburg!Delicious meals, great wine, awesome service, and a lovely cozy ambiamce
David A. SeraphinMarch 5, 2018Nice little cozy spot for brunch. The staff were very friendly and they even complimented us with a desert on the house based on an order that was slightly off. Will definitely go back again!
Tony XerriApril 2, 2016The grilled octopus is divine, and if they have the pasta carbonara special, it would be wise to get it. Wash it down with a King's County cocktail.
Michael JonesFebruary 15, 2015South Fork cocktail is insane. Dangerously drinkable :) Makes for a top brunch. Really tasty coffee too. The garden is covered and really toasty warm, so nice sitting inside looking out at the cold.
Linda HarrisonAugust 2, 2022The salads are great especially the chickory and the Caesar. The Caesar is a traditional egg and anchovy dressing and it’s very good. Sometimes they try too hard with combos and it’s a miss.- Stina P.May 14, 2016whether it's the cute booth inside, table out front or in the partially open side room, there is no bad seat here. chicory and fried chicken salad is the best. amazing lattes.
Dana MeyersApril 5, 2014Go there for brunch and get the spicy Berkshire pork sausage, served with fried egg, sweet and sour sautéed red onions, parsley, and grilled garlic toast with an incredible brown mustard.
Tom AlfieJune 26, 2016All of us enjoyed our brunch. Good variety on the menu & a nice atmosphere. The La Piñata cocktail was delicious too.
Eleni SardiJanuary 28, 2016Super cozy and instagramable. The mushroom toast is simple yet delicious and the French toast has a great cinnamon crunch. 👍🏼
- Alexis BendjouiaMay 18, 2015Go for brunch, sit in the garden, must get fish tacos to share. Absolutely adore this place. 1000% for ambiance. Delish food too.
Valerie SApril 16, 2017Tasty and local food-- burger was super flavorful and delicious! Wish I knew about the side greenhouse room beforehand, the front tables outside are a bit cramped.
Frank BanisiFebruary 23, 2016Not sure why I had walked past this place for years and hadn't gone. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. I'm not a fan of pickles on burgers or lettuce, I recommend keeping both on this.
Annie YangSeptember 23, 2014Really cute garden room and great porch space. Food is definitely a bit pricey. Got the french toast + blackberries (really tiny portion; blackberries super stained my teeth) + coffee for ~$20
Top 3 brunch spots in Williamsburg. The seasonal item (recently poached eggs, root veggies and sourdough) is reliably good.
Nicole FormicaAugust 31, 2015Try the cheesy polenta for brunch. Top it off with a homemade scone and mimosa!
Amy WangDecember 20, 2014Rosemary seasalt cone is good! Yummy coffee. Old french country feel, cozy and quaint. Awesome for brunch with friends/fams
Sit at the bar to avoid the wait at brunch. The rosè+gin signature cocktail is amazing, but the garlic roasted potatoes are better.
From brunch to dinner -- the food is great. Make sure you leave room for dessert. The bread pudding is incredible.
Surprisingly stew is a delicious brunch option here! Try the kale and white bean option for a healthy brunch situation.
Manda ShettletonNovember 18, 2012Poached eggs with winter squash are on point! Warning: Spiced Cider on late fall brunch menu is iced not hot! $3 scones are good value. Delish!
Mikhail BAugust 16, 2015Try the chickory and fried chicken salad. The texture and flavors are a step away from the usual but not too experimental.
Fitz HaileDecember 30, 2016Cute little cozy cafe with good ambience and solid healthy food. Dinner might be a cute date spot.
Jon MorrisMarch 2, 2020Solid brunch, but be ready to wait for a table. Egg sandwich, burger, and fries are all amazing.
Kristina RudicMarch 19, 2017Don't leave without having the bread pudding! Everything is really tasty and the place is beautiful and cozy!
Ronald CattrysseJune 4, 2017I love this place, amazing food, great ambiance, perfect service. Would recommend as a date spot.
Great spot. Serving Stumptown coffee, great burger, great cocktails! Staff is amazing. And of course, brunch.
Gary G HowellApril 5, 2014Great food & atmosphere. The hostess should basically wear a shirt that says, "FYI: 'Let it Go' is the sound track playing on loop in the back of my mind; I am the Snow Queen; my face froze this way."
The roasted pork with fried tortilla, cheese, and eggs is the adult version of nachos for breakfast.
Ebee DAugust 13, 2016sat in the back greenhouse type room. it was really a perfect setting for lunch. food was as great as always
Emily KolodnerMarch 26, 2015chicken was perfectly tender, juicy. brussels sprouts were a vehicle for olive oil and i wasn't mad about that.
- Jen BergDecember 25, 2015Always amazing brunch. Start with a lemon scone then order anything/everything and love it.
Try the Fried Chicken Sandwich. The best chicken sandwich I ever had. In Brooklyn. In NYC. In the USA. In the world. Really.
Holly DowellSeptember 15, 2016Love this place! Very cute. Had the kale garlic salad and it was very good.
Foxxy BJune 1, 2017Meh. The place is open late; perfect for a 22:30 dinner. The food is all pretty heavy (or heavily sauced). Bartender was giving other employee(s) a taste of my bottle—odd, right? Cocktails are strong.- Ariel VieraOctober 17, 2014Brunch is the best. Try a cocktail, eat French Toast off a skillet, enjoy life.
Amber NagleApril 5, 2015Best atmosphere and great staff. Can't go wrong with the French toast or breakfast sandwich.
Erica DaoSeptember 26, 2013A quaint corner joint to chill and grab some grub. The chicory and fried chicken salad is quite delightful.
I come here and eat the sausage breakfast sandwich three times a week. That should tell you enough.
Raquelle JessieApril 17, 2016Great little spot to sip rosé on the outdoor little patio (cop those herb fries too)
If you want to cure a hangover you've gotta order the slow-cooked pork with jalapeno cornbread & over-easy eggs. Mix it all up and add some Tabasco. Hangover = gone.
GuySpyApril 8, 2013You must try the Chilaquiles con Pollo from the Brunch Menu. Also, great 80's music selection!
Get the big booth by the window and order everything. You can't go wrong. Finish with the Stumptown coffee
