Dillinger’s

These guys make the best food. If it was just food, 5 stars. The coffee is great. If they were just a coffee house, 5 stars. My only complaint is that the food is way– worth coming here for, but they still run it with coffee house rules. Everything comes up at different times and there is no table service. I dont care about table service but if you come with anyone else, food coming out at different times is awkward. The food is way too good for that, so I had to give them 4 stars. But note: I’ve been twice, and had the same experience both times. Great food. Mild service. Everyone is nice but it’s not restaurant style.
All the breads are outstanding. It feels Russian style. It’s like they have a Russian grandma baking in the basement or something. I’ve had the buckwheat bowl, the czar, the lassie, the little buddy, and dumplings. Everything is outstanding and worth every penny. Can’t recommend it enough.

Came here for breakfast this morning. Ordered the Avocado «toast» (the bread wasn’t toasted at all) & a large iced coffee my total was $ 14. The price is actually reasonable if you don’t mind paying for quality. But that’s my point, the quality of the food & the service you receive does not match the price point. Fresh avocado on a quality piece of properly toasted bread is an amazing meal, but this was not that. Funky Café in Bushwick I get it, trust me I do. I appreciate what they are trying to do, I’m simply saying just get better at it. Get the basics right first i.e. delicious food /​good service, and then worry about the vibe. Not the other way around.

Yummy yummy yummy. Well priced, simple and elegant tasty meals. Went back for round two French toast after having the avocado toast

Great place for a Sunday afternoon brunch. The french toast was really good and the pear champagne cocktail was good, too. Best part about Dillinger’s is their large outside patio area.

I got the avocado toast and it was super good, but not very filling if you’re looking for a meal. The buckwheat bowl my friend got looked really good so maybe I’d try that next time. The cappuccino was good and the whole place was cute. It has a bright atmosphere and there’s a secluded outdoor area in the back where we sat in the nice weather today.
They finish serving brunch at 3:00!
Great spot in Bushwick!

Food was good, but a little over priced.
Nice atmosphere, and wasn’t too crowded!

This place is cute and I would probably be a regular if I lived nearby but this is definitely not the kind of place to travel out of your way to. It’s small and cute, there’s a Russian theme and a few Russian food items on the menu, and the coffee is good. The avocado toast was tiny and was not enough for a meal. The dumplings were good but if you’re going to do Russian dumplings add some fried onions on top and maybe a side of sour cream. The buckwheat bowl with egg on top was my favorite menu item.

Pretty good coffee preparations. Not chaeap, and can be slow.
Tasty food but more in the snack size department and very slow. Only 1 dish is made at the same time so not great for couples.
Free WiFi but laptops forbidden on weekends due to limitations in space. Nice décor

This place is my regular breakfast/​coffee jam, great food and seems to be run almost entirely by exceptionally beautiful women.

Excellent spot à petit déj typiquement américain, le pain perdu est une tuerie mais ils ont également des alternatives healthy comme le sacro-​saint granola!
Les donuts sont fantastiques également, et le staff est sympa.
Allez-​y avant midi pour avoir le plaisir de petit déjeuner dans le calme…

Avocado Toasts… super delicious ! I’m not a vegetarian but this meal is definitely recommend this for someone who’s vegetarian or someone who enjoys trying something different. It is very filling & healthy ! Their hot chocolate is also amazing :-)

Beveragewise, I only get iced coffee here but, while expensive, it’s legit.
Their donuts are wonderful. Muffins not so much.
Their reasonably priced croissant egg & cheese sandwich is… well, I want to like it but it’s somehow too rich and greasy for me to fully enjoy. I always end up throwing the other half away & wishing I’d gone to Dunkin Donuts for a breakfast sandwich that at least TASTES surprisingly more healthy.
Other food options look and sound delicious but their price points have prevented me from ordering them so far (like, $ 9 for toast with avocado?!).
Also, they’re pretty flaky about posting holiday hours & tend to close unexpectedly during snowstorms, etc. (okay, the aftermath of this last blizzard) which really sucks when you’re wandering around in need of coffee at 9am & then are met with a shuttered door, you know?
All in all cool place — cool vibe, relatively friendly staff, interesting food options, but pricier than may be necessary and slightly unreliable for us coffee mainliners.

They serve Russian food and brunch and its all fresh, healthy and delicious.
They have a coffee drink named «Krokodil» which if you know is the name of the dangerous heroine-​substitute in the drug epidemic over there but also a beloved Russian cartoon character. It was coffee with a «Red eye» espresso shot with condensed milk and it was really REAL good.*sighs* Someone must of had a dark sense of humor while conceptualizing this drink.

Hmmm that cheburaska. Did i spell that right? One of the best coffees I have drank. Would get it everyday if it wasn’t so expensive or on my way to the M train station. Food was very healthy and light. Place looks like a beehive. Come here and sit with your Laptop just like it was Starbucks.

The concept is fun! The service was cold though to our point of view.
The food was good and very not expensive. It’s a great place to hang out also!

I love coming here because I can eat good food and study at the same time. Everything is always fresh and brunch on the weekends is amazing.
Staff is really friendly and make me feel like apart of the family everytime I come in.
Try their speciality drinks, you won’t regret it. Also, get like 5 dough donuts because they are delicious.

Food is great.
Scene inside is a little weird though, feels like it’s too quiet to have brunch, like everyone can hear you talk. So it’s more of a café feel, everyone on laptops, no one speaking.

Great place for brunch and getting some work done. There is a good amount of seating in the front, a honey comb shelf, lots of patterns for décor, and a long corridor to its back area. Plenty of benches outside as well! Especially gorgeous seeing the autumn leaves while I enjoyed my coffee and food.
The buckwheat bowl is a bit pricey with the egg and avocado but worth it. Love the well seasoned mushrooms and cauliflower. My only complaint are the whole black peppers, which were too strong for me since there were already ground black pepper used for seasoning.
They also take CUPS! Use the code 18RS4 for $ 10 off your first plan.
Will come back for the food!

I’m glad I discovered this gem. I was able to sit, in a relatively quiet environment, with free wifi, with decent coffee, with eggy, filling food, on a weekend, in a well-​done enviroment with a great skylight that adds to the ambience. And I was able to do all that in a run-​on sentence that kept you reading it.
I’ve only been here twice so far, but I found the staff friendly, the patrons quiet and respectful, and the atmosphere civil. I can actually go there and read, whereas some of the coffeeshops in the area are hotbeds of nervous activity and noise.
If you want a neighborhoody, friendly place to come on a lazy weekend afternoon, this is a safe bet.
I hope more Dillinger’s open up!

Nous avons été charmé par l’endroit dès l’entrée! Très éclairé, vivant avec une terrasse magnifique et tranquille. Notre déjeuner était très bon, seul bémol le café au lait qui était trop amer. Belle faune qui aime bien manger et prendre son temps. Je recommande!

Nice, airy coffee shop with plenty of seats and delicious eats.
The iced coffee is great and they also make iced teas (with loose tea). Lots of flavors to choose from.
We also ordered the avocado toast with egg (of course) and the poppy seed parfait. The avocado toast was great (we might have skipped the radish, but it was fine with it, too). I loved the parfait. Filled with so many blueberries and seeds. Just the right amount of yogurt. I could eat this everyday!
Backyard seating and the cutest public restroom ever.

The storefront windows that extend to an inclusive awning gives the place a good amount of natural light, inviting you to stay and work comfortably. But the view of flat brick warehouse just outside those windows leaves something to be desired – for example, the planting of trees in the currently baren opposite sidewalk planters (the barista believed such improvements were eminent). The millennial design solution of ‘putting a bird on it’ (see etchings on the windows) can only go so far to improve. Despite this, the merits of the natural light, relative quietude of a side-​street, and comfortable seating make the place hospitable.
The buckwheat & kale bowl was satisfying nourishment for a hungry morning. Well seasoned with soy sauce and oil (toasted sesame?), and accented by moist baby-​bellas and lightly curried cauliflower florets. The sunny side up egg was perfectly cooked and provided the requisite pleasure of releasing the yolk to ooze over the contents of the bowl, slightly thickening the areas of the buckwheat it reached. Fresh ginger would’ve been a welcome addition, but lemon wedge on the side let me brighten up the dish to match my particular level of morning dullness.
The avocado toast that was well-​labored over had an excellent choice of hearty bread w well-​spread avocado, fresh sprouts/​radish, and another perfectly cooked sunny side up egg. Hidden chilis and a fresh squeeze of lemon were accents to this well-​executed take on a healthy standard.
I imagine both dishes could’ve been served popularly at the Source restaurant in LA during the dawn of the U.S. Health food movement.
Overall, a reasonably-​priced option for a healthy and thoughtfully prepared breakfast or lunch that’ll keep you moving.
