This was the cutest place. It reminded me of a greenhouse and even had a tree growing through the middle of the restaurant. It has good, healthy, and well made food. Loved it.

Great for a non-traditional brunch. Expect everything from rice to salmon and ground pork. REALLY tasty. Oh and there's a real tree growing in the centre of the room for that extra personality.

Can’t say enough good things. Super cute, relaxed treehouse vibe. Came for brunch and ordered these delicious Japanese meatballs with a poached egg. Def beats your average eggs beny brunch fare.

Woah! Hipster Japanese style brunch. Hot apple cider was a super treat. Cutest atmosphere inside. An indoor hidden garden. A bit hard to find from the street, look for boarded timber walls. cash only!

sashimi don and the chicken meatball don were both amazing. both a must try.
Megan McNallyOctober 5, 2016
As a fan of brunch and Japanese food, this place is a dream come true. The udon noodles are some of the tastiest I've ever had, and the chicken meatballs are incredible. The atmosphere is adorable.

Quite possibly my favorite new spot with a beautiful interior, great ambience, pleasant service, and pretty good food (love the matcha milk!)

Super cute vibe! Croissant French Toast was great! Tsukune Don was good but needed a little spice. Service was okay- they took a while to bring out the drinks and sauces after bringing the food.

Simple and adorable coffee shop bliss. Enjoy free wi-fi while enjoying consistently good coffee and snacking on small sandwiches. The baristas are very friendly too.

The interior is absolutely lovely. Feels like you're in a tree house...there is an actual tree going through it. The Fig Brie Apple and Avocado Goat Cheese (I added egg) are both good sandwiches.

Small, charming cafe. Many healthy and organic options and even some sweet treats for desert or a small snack. Felt like a hideaway in North Williamsburg. Light, airy and natural. A must visit!

This skylight-illuminated, plant-filled Williamsburg nook feels like a secret tree house--a treehouse that serves lavender lattes and banana-Nutella croissants. Read more

Great atmosphere, great service, refined and fused Japanese food, good mood, good plates, nice matcha cappucino. Well done!

Best hidden gem in North Brooklyn - like a Japanese treehouse. Try the Matcha Cappuccino, Kabocha Pumpkin Pudding, amongst other sweets. Perfect spot for a quiet afternoon.
Isa SierraMay 28, 2018
A wonderful secret in the middle of Williamsburg - try the meatballs and the vegan bowl. Ice tea is also yummy.

This place amazing. Went on a Sunday morning around 11 and got seated for two. Really great atmosphere and the salmon Japanese breakfast set was delicious. What a gem.

Awesome Japanese food which tastes wholesome and healthy, in a super cute setting. Cash only. (pic: chicken teriyaki)

One of the most adorable, cheery, and "cozy" (charmingly tiny) spots I've been in NY. Plants & sunshine abound as you enjoy fresh squeezed OJ, banana Nutella croissants, & creamy scrambled eggs.

This was my favorite restaurant while visiting Williamsburg! The grilled chicken sandwich plate was so tasty and fresh!

A cross between a Japanese tea house and a tree house. A must try-- everything on the menu was great.

Shhh! This is a charming little coffee shop with delicious baked goods, sandwiches and soups -- all made in-house. It's also not as crowded as other neighborhood cafes, so don't tell anyone!
Ina LiApril 6, 2015
Brunch at a light-filled atrium with delicious Japanese homecook style food and sandwiches! They serve hot apple cider!
BommyOctober 28, 2015
Beautiful space but croque madame is mushy and incredibly unappetizing. Homemade granola and fruit with yogurt is fine.
Meer MusaJune 25, 2014
I ordered the Croissant french toast with fruits. And side order of scramble eggs. It was delicious. Server was friendly as well.
Elvis RodricksMarch 17, 2016
An interesting take with an Asian and European twist. Had the chicken meatballs which was flavorful and fresh. Croissant french toast was well made not being too soggy.
Lyndsey AOctober 17, 2013
This place is cute and cozy. Grab a coffee and a croissant and enjoy the sunlight pouring in from the clear rooftop!
Zeba SiddiqiMarch 28, 2017
Modern take on japanese cuisine! Really cute spot for lunch.
Parker YoungJuly 23, 2013
Great little brunch/lunch oasis. Love the vibe, indoors w/cool AC but plenty of natural light & large trees growing up through the roof. Get a banana-Nutella croissant.
Alex TsuJuly 19, 2017
Loved it; adorable, hipster brunch spot nestled beneath a tree; chicken meatball over rice was incredible; can't wait to go back.

Whimsical cosy place in Brooklyn, great for brunch and ideal for couples and small groups.

I'm consistently impressed with HOSW. You can't go wrong with taking a seat at this cozy little place for a brief respite from the cold and busyness.

The new space has trees going through the middle! It's The Secret Garden meets Terabithia. It also has table service, so they might not let you linger forever like they used to...unclear.
jaqi vigilAugust 19, 2012
How can this place move?! It's so perfect here! Amazing place to chill and get some work done. Oh, and the Middle Eastern Salad is delicious. Doesn't hurt that it's $4 either!
Connie ChiuOctober 17, 2014
Matcha cappuccino, sashimi don, corn soup, and Okinawa rice all on point. Cutest decor.
Joseph LeJanuary 22, 2018
The salmon was fantastic! Perfectly cooked and balanced flavors on the plate
Sarah BrinkMay 12, 2018
One of the coziest spots you could possible find in Williamsburg. Reminded me of some of the cafes in Japan.
Kimmie OhhJanuary 2, 2020
Get the Okinawan taco rice or the Japanese Hamburg steak. Get the earl grey creme brûlée for dessert.

Their croissant French toast is amazing and so is the iced matcha milk.
