    Milk and Roses is one of the sweetest places in Greenpoint. Try the organic chicken, simple cooked but so tasty. The space inside is full of vintage details and outside anyone can be happy.

    I loved the americano. They serve misceladoro coffee. The food was tasty. And the garden is spacious and very beautiful. The rustic feel and the trees make such a relaxing and lovely atmosphere.

    There are two forms of bread pudding on the menu: sweet or savory. The sweet (pictured) is an excellent dessert. The savory is the Aquasale all'Uovo, more of a lunch entree with bread, green & an egg.

    Backyard garden and greenhouse! Such a cute brunch place with unlimited mimosas. The potato latke with creme fraiche and smoked salmon is really good!

    Beautiful garden in the back, indoors also lovely. Nice drinks, perfectly grilled octopus and don't forget to ask for risotti of the day!

    I thought that seating area was it. I left my stuff wandered around and found the most beautiful backyard/garden/green house. So don't sit at the front ! Go to the back!! Also remember CASH ONLY

    With some of the best cafe design in NYC, with open beams, rough hewn floor, sagging shelves of books, a grand piano, and a leather couch, this is a cozy spot to read, work or meet a friend. Read more

    The food here is incredible. Vegetable Napoleon is unassuming, but it's delicately rich and interesting in flavor. The warm ricotta kicks it up a notch. Duck breast also phenomenal.

    Yes, they have both milk and roses here. There's also great food, coffee, wifi, back yard and vintage library decor. Great place to read and/or GSD.

    Seriously one of the most lovely bars I've been in a while. Blood berry / eponymous cocktails were also delicious. Excited to come back & try the food!

    Really cozy indoors. Something out a movie, great place to bring a date. The back garden though...

    Eat gingersnap pancakes in the greenhouse or sip tea near the library, and you’ll feel like a tourist in your own city. Read more

    It's a great place to grab a quick coffee with friends, warm and cozy and the shelves lined with books makes it feel homey. However, do so without fidgety toddlers!

    Came for brunch & though very cute & what seemed like a nice menu, our food never came after 1hr as we "got caught behind a large order" although we saw 3 people who had sat after us get their food

    Lovely place. but went there for dinner and wasn't a fan of the dinner menu. But I think the am menu is better. Cute date spot.

    The cocktails are seasonal and very creative. I rarely eat here, but on the occasions I have, the food has been fantastic.

    They have a great selection of books on the wall that you should take turns reading if you're with a group, or dive into one yourself.

    No laptops after 5pm, but really, why do work here then anyway? Enjoy this gem of a wine bar and live a little.

    Surprisingly uncrowded for brunch, despite their overly hipster set-up. Definitely a plus

    Come in the spring and sit in the backyard. Come in the winter and sit in the very bookish interior

    It's not remotely a coffee destination but Milk & Roses scores extremely high in coziness and design and throws wifi, plugs, and a large backyard garden into the mix. Read more

    If you're not used to Italian hot chocolate, you could be excused for thinking you'd mis-ordered pudding by mistake. Rich & thick, the spoon stands up straight. Read more

    The egg sandwich is more of a baguette but the $24 unlimited coffee/mimosa brunch pre-fixe is hard to beat!
