Check 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.

The 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

The 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.

From 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

Nice 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!

South 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.

The 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.

Not 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.

The 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.

From brunch to dinner -- the food is great. Make sure you leave room for dessert. The bread pudding is incredible.

Super cozy and instagramable. The mushroom toast is simple yet delicious and the French toast has a great cinnamon crunch. 👍🏼
Alexis BendjouiaMay 18, 2015
Go for brunch, sit in the garden, must get fish tacos to share. Absolutely adore this place. 1000% for ambiance. Delish food too.

whether 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.
Tom AlfieJune 26, 2016
All of us enjoyed our brunch. Good variety on the menu & a nice atmosphere. The La Piñata cocktail was delicious too.
Valerie SApril 16, 2017
Tasty 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.

Great 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."

Really 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

Great ambiance and super friendly staff. Love this place!

Top 3 brunch spots in Williamsburg. The seasonal item (recently poached eggs, root veggies and sourdough) is reliably good.
Amy WangDecember 20, 2014
Rosemary seasalt cone is good! Yummy coffee. Old french country feel, cozy and quaint. Awesome for brunch with friends/fams
Fitz HaileDecember 30, 2016
Cute little cozy cafe with good ambience and solid healthy food. Dinner might be a cute date spot.

Surprisingly stew is a delicious brunch option here! Try the kale and white bean option for a healthy brunch situation.
Jon MorrisMarch 2, 2020
Solid brunch, but be ready to wait for a table. Egg sandwich, burger, and fries are all amazing.
Nicole FormicaAugust 31, 2015
Try the cheesy polenta for brunch. Top it off with a homemade scone and mimosa!
Ariel VieraOctober 17, 2014
Brunch is the best. Try a cocktail, eat French Toast off a skillet, enjoy life.

Great spot. Serving Stumptown coffee, great burger, great cocktails! Staff is amazing. And of course, brunch.
Mikhail BAugust 16, 2015
Try the chickory and fried chicken salad. The texture and flavors are a step away from the usual but not too experimental.
Ronald CattrysseJune 4, 2017
I love this place, amazing food, great ambiance, perfect service. Would recommend as a date spot.

Sit at the bar to avoid the wait at brunch. The rosè+gin signature cocktail is amazing, but the garlic roasted potatoes are better.
Kristina RudicMarch 19, 2017
Don't leave without having the bread pudding! Everything is really tasty and the place is beautiful and cozy!
Ebee DAugust 13, 2016
sat in the back greenhouse type room. it was really a perfect setting for lunch. food was as great as always
Amanda JablczynskiJanuary 10, 2017
Trendy and great atmosphere. The food and drinks are wonderful.
Jen BergDecember 25, 2015
Always amazing brunch. Start with a lemon scone then order anything/everything and love it.
Nina HarcusDecember 10, 2014
The burger and fries are so good! Great way to curb a savoury #craving!
Holly DowellSeptember 15, 2016
Love this place! Very cute. Had the kale garlic salad and it was very good.
Anna BoffettaApril 22, 2018
Better for brunch than dinner, great fresh ingredients and simple execution, sunny terrace

Try the Fried Chicken Sandwich. The best chicken sandwich I ever had. In Brooklyn. In NYC. In the USA. In the world. Really.
Amber NagleApril 5, 2015
Best atmosphere and great staff. Can't go wrong with the French toast or breakfast sandwich.
Foxxy BJune 1, 2017
Meh. 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.
Manda ShettletonNovember 18, 2012
Poached 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!
Emily KolodnerMarch 26, 2015
chicken was perfectly tender, juicy. brussels sprouts were a vehicle for olive oil and i wasn't mad about that.
Erica DaoSeptember 26, 2013
A quaint corner joint to chill and grab some grub. The chicory and fried chicken salad is quite delightful.
K TranNovember 30, 2014
Staff, atmosphere excellent. Mexican health tonic Southern Sea maybe even more excellent.
Raquelle JessieApril 17, 2016
Great little spot to sip rosé on the outdoor little patio (cop those herb fries too)

The roasted pork with fried tortilla, cheese, and eggs is the adult version of nachos for breakfast.

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.
Carly Chan LiuMay 25, 2014
Spicy Berkshire sausage with sunny side up eggs, bacon and paprika potatoes = my kind of Sunday brunch!
Melissa MonahanAugust 9, 2014
Amazing fish tacos and granola yogurt bowl. Great music. Great vibe

Poached eggs with butternut squash, brussels & onion sauce and fried chicken chilaquilles
