Milk & Honey Cafe

Great atmosphere, tasty coffee. Nice place for having a cup of coffee

I love it here. This is my go to spot for Sunday brunch now.
I’m big on coffee — hot lattes with a nice art on top — I love that. Here they make a good cup of joe and its aesthetically appealing too. So is the good. The owner is Egyptian and they got a middle-​eastern feel with some cuisine. We ordered shakshooka and egg sandwich. The shakshooka came with a huge piece of flat bread that was flavorful. Also fruit tart and macaroons. It tasted all good and it’s priced accordingly for cafes of this type.
I will come back again in future.

Small fun place in Brooklyn to get some brunch. We were on our way out via Staten Island bridge, and Unilocal said this was a good place to check out. Parking was pretty tricky but we finally found a place.
The interior, from the seating area to the kitchen, is fairly open to air. There’s a wall garden leading up to the cashier and shelf of pastries. The menu was an interesting mix of influences including Egyptian. I decided on a scrambled egg white omelette, and my BF ordered what is basically a shakshuka.
Even though there were only 2 – 3 guys manning the kitchen, service was relatively quick.
I loved the omelette. It came with a salad and two slices of sourdough, and it was just an amazing combination of flavors. Very well cooked!
The shakshuka was not as amazing, unfortunately. Overly sweet, and the cubes of feta cheese didn’t add much at all. The pita was a bit rubbery too.
Watermelon mint tea was average; wouldn’t get again.
Overall, a 3.5 that I’m willing to bump up for the ambiance.

I absolutely love this place. Its open kitchen, ambience, and farm fresh food, make it an ideal breakfast or lunch option. My only problem would be there is no clear indicator of service. Its more of a get up and get yourself thing unless you can flag down someone for assistance. Other than that, i love their menu options. So many flavor combinations that are delightful and extremely fresh. I went with the eggs on a croissant and was truly blown away by the taste of it. Everything worked well together and i would love to return and try other things.

I just had the most amazing french toast of my life! The crème brule french toast… 8 usd! And its amazing, it basically melts in your mouth. Add an iceed coffee to make it even more wonderful. Now that is warm and sunny this is the place to go for a weekend brunch.

Love the modern rustic look and feel almost as much as the fantastic food. The only thing that could stand improvement is the dessert, but all the savory menu items are amazing!
Prices are low side of the $$ rating.

What a gem! It’s hip, and they’ve got a modern rustic feel going on. It feels cozy and homey without being cramped. The windows allow in a lot of light, and they’ll open them up for some fresh air on a warmer day. I also LOVE the garden wall that they’ve got by the entrance.
We ordered at the counter, then found seats. Another bonus — they have a good variety: tables for two, high stools by the window, a communal table and a communal-​ish table. Anyway, they took our order (and we could pay by card!) and brought the food over to us.
My boyfriend has the Egyptian eggs (at 6:30 PM) and I had the turkey panini. I don’t know if I would really call it a panini — there were no grill marks and while the crust was crispy and cheese was melted, the white part of the bread was still soft. No crunch at all, which is fine considering I’m recovering from a wisdom tooth removal surgery. Anyway, food was great! My meal was simple, but it definitely hit the spot.

I just love that spot
I went there on mother day around 2 pm and we did not have to wait for a table
On a sunny day you can seat outside and sip on your coffee in the sun. It’s a pretty nice area.
My mom lives in the neighborhood.
The food was delicious, very healthy and fresh. The products use to cook are very good
I will just say the staff is a little rude, they don’t smile (beside the guy making coffees). I guess it’s because they are too busy
I highly suggest the spot to anyone. Have the breakfast platter it’s worth it. For $ 11 you can have country bread toast, eggs, side salad, bacon and sausage.

Very cute hipster spot to grab brunch on nice Sunday afternoon. You have to order and pay for your food at the register first before grabbing a table. Remember to help yourself to some condiments yourself.
I ordered the Egyptian Poached Eggs and boy, I did not regret it! I wanted to come here again for a light dinner just to grab that! Super light and satisfying and don’t forget to grab a latte with that: D

I came here very spontaneously with a friend for brunch. We happened to see this café while I was driving and decided to check it out.
Right when we entered, we noticed that it was extremely busy. We ordered and paid for our food and coffee. We had trouble finding seats, so the workers found some chairs for us and sat us down in front of the open kitchen. The workers are very personable.
Because of how packed it was, it took some time for my our orders to be made. However the wait was worth it. The food was amazing. I had the eggs royal while by friend had the poached eggs. We were both content with our dishes.
All in all, this place was a good experience. It also a few dollars cheaper than brunch places in Manhattan. The workers are very friendly. Thus, it’s a wonderful environment.

I went today, a Wednesday at around 12:30 and it was pretty busy, full of people who were just sitting there with their laptops, either finished with their food/​drink or not ordering at all. I didn’t know if it was order and then sit or sit and then order, the guy by the cashier told me I could sit down and decide and come back to him to order. Luckily he told me that, so I quickly the two open seats at the large back table, or else it would’ve been taken by the people that came immediately behind me (a lot).
My mom and I decided on the Chicken, oyster mushroom fennel flatbread ($ ¹²⁄₁₃) and the Three eggs omelette ($ ¹⁰⁄₁₁). The prices were reasonable. I also got an Iced Lemonade, which was just regular lemonade with ice. I wanted the Lavender Lemonade, after hearing that it was good (but they didn’t have that today booo). It was quite a wait since a few people were already on the line after we decided what to get. They give out number stands so you can place on the table at your seats and they will bring the food to you once it’s ready. The flatbread was just amazing, just enough chicken, mushroom however I didn’t really notice or taste any oysters. Besides that it had a sauce? In the shape of a warm put on top of it, which made it taste so good, might’ve been some black bean paste (forgot to ask). The Three egg omelette was alright. It didn’t look like there was three eggs used in that omelette, more like one or two. There were cheese, spinach, and cherry tomatoes inside the omelette topped with sour cream and some smoked salmon. There were potatoes on the side (a bit oily) and two slices of bread with butter.
I liked the ambience of the café, wasn’t too loud or dead silent. Having to share tables with other people wasn’t so bad. It was nice with the windows, which let a lot of natural light in but it wasn’t sunny or too bright. On a side note, the bathroom was huge.
Overall, I like the environment and the food is pretty good. And the bathroom is huge (main point, can’t forget that!)

Overhyped.
After everyone and their mothers complimented this place, I finally forced myself to get up and check it out.
You order by the register and then spend the rest of your waiting time scouting out a table. You’re looking at people hoping someone will eat faster so that you can sit, they’re looking back at you spitefully eating in slow motion. Awkward.
Once you’re lucky enough to sit down, the server brings out your dish. I ordered the Kings Eggs I believe which were poached eggs with salmon, red caviar, the ever popular hollandaise sauce and roasted potatoes. It was good, but not great. My last couple of bites contained remnants of egg shells therefore I did not fully finish my meal. The latte was scrumptious though.

Only stumbled upon this café by chance, as my boyfriend and I were heading to Oxcart Tavern for dinner. Oxcart was around a 40 minute wait that day so we decided to stop by here for a cup of tea while we wait. What a precious gem in Ditmas Park. The décor was so warm and inviting, it was such a homey atmosphere I never wanted to leave! I got a tea (I think it was the peach blossom!) and it was great. I took a look at their menu and was amazed by the selection! Will definitely come back and try their brunch next time I am in the area!

Really nice hidden spot. We checked it out from a friend suggestion.
Got the Eggs Royal — This was very flavorful. The little roe helped with the smoked salmon. The runny poached egg gives the english muffin some softness. The arugula makes a nice salad to the whole platelet
Egyptian Eggs– It was a different take on the poached eggs, the avocado and spices was a nice zest of flavor. I really had trouble deciding between to two so i went halfs between a friend.
Had to try the Flatbread– Smoked trout and goat cheese with olives and a single poached egg to top it off. Going have to try other combos.
My friend got the Cremebrulee french toast it was pretty large and filling. We didn’t taste much of the crème brûlée but it was good. maybe too sweet my friend said, but I enjoyed it.
It was pretty packed on a sunday, but we got a seat eventually and enjoy the café like service.

Love Love Love the décor. The setup is so warm and inviting, it seems like a place you could chill all day. The setup is basically order at the cashier, take a number, find a table and the waiters will find you.
The food:
Eggs Royal– Smoked Salmon, caviar, poached eggs, on an English Muffin, topped with a creamy Hollandaise sauce, served with red roasted potatoes. The benedict was great, it was not a traditional benedict but I really enjoyed the flavor, it was kinda like a deconstructed benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the smoked salmon added a nice velvety texture and the Hollandaise added a nice creamy element. I really enjoyed the flavor a lot. The red roasted potatoes were great, they were perfectly tender and really well seasoned.
Egyptian Poached Eggs– Poached eggs served with avocado, baby arugula, tomato, on sourdough bread topped with Dukkah. The dish as a whole was good but not a lot of sustenance, it was kinda too light and not very filling. I took a bite and it tasted like flavored air. I enjoyed this but it felt more like an app than an entrée. The eggs were nicely cooked.
Croissant– It was nothing crazy, just a reg croissant.

Love the vibe in this place! Perfect for brunch and now take card! Their freshly baked daily doughnut are great, especially the salted caramel one! But it will give you a cavity.
The coffees ate great and the Barista is really nice as are all the staff!
You order at the counter and hope you find a seat which is not always easy on Saturdays.
My only gripe is sometimes they take too long preparing the food and twice have forgotten to serve us when it was busy. The steak panini also doesn’t have real steak but Philly cheese steak style which is dry and not good.
Their best things to get are the eggs Benedict –perfect runny, great sauce — and the crème brûlée French toast — the bruleed bananas are the highlight on that!!!
Perfect for the neighborhood and can’t wait until they open their French bakery!

An adorable, vintage café in such a quiet neighborhood! It was just the right spot to be in when it was freezing cold out this past weekend. This café serves coffee, tea, baked goods, and brunch dishes. There is no waiter service therefore, patrons will have to order at the cashier counter and receive a number. Wherever you are sitting, a staff member will bring your food to you. It is an open kitchen so you get to see your plate of food in the making.
Egyptian Poached Eggs caught my eyes. There is light avocado spread on sourdough toast topped with arugula leaves, tomato, sprinkled with dukkah — an Egyptian mixture of spice, herbs, and nuts with two perfectly cooked poached eggs on top. This was a very light breakfast/​brunch item overall but very tasty. I loved the fresh spice taste with our everyday ingredients. It had a smoky taste to it. I did wish there was more avocado spread though.
Coffee latte art is pretty here! You have to catch the barista when he’s hyped!

Discovered this place on Unilocal and decided to try it because it had such great reviews. Good news: it lives up to them!
When I walked in around lunch time there wasn’t a single seat to sit down and eat, but I ordered anyway because I was really interested in trying it out.
I got the chicken bacon avocado sandwich and have to say that it was probably the best sandwich I’ve ever had! Took about 20 – 25 minutes from order to eating but it was well worth the wait during the busy lunch hour.
Afterwards I got a vanilla latte to go and have to say, again, it was the best latte I’ve ever had. Just the right amount of espresso, vanilla and milk!
The ONLY thing that wasn’t great was that it was sort of smoky inside and I left with my clothes and jacket smelling slightly like grase/​smoke. But, don’t let this one incident keep you from going — it was still worth it!
I highly, highly recommend this place. I’ll absolutely be back.

I think 3.5* justifies my experience.
So Milk & Honey is this cool, super hip and rustic joint that opened on Newkirk in Ditmas Park. (Great spot for meeting friends for a quick bite).
To place your order you must walk up to the counter. The staff behind the counter are quite friendly and helpful in deciding what you might be in the mood of.
They have some delicious fresh pastries on their shelves. I am not a fan of their coffee — I feel like it has this weird aftertaste. Definitely does not agree with me.
Their dishes leaves a lot to be desired. I’ve ordered the tacos, egg sandwich, and scrambled eggs. None of them left their mark.
I also think that any restaurant that doesn’t accept credit cards in the 21^st century ought to lose a star just for that. It is such a bother to have to make sure to be carrying cash on me while going to cash only joints. Especially if I wasn’t aware of it prior. — I avoid those places once I do know.
It is a great spot to work quietly on laptops with multiple outlets to satisfy many.

Quinoa Tubbuleh & eggs $ 8 — nothing better than fresh homemade pitta and hummus. I substituted the eggs with egg whites. There’s an open kitchen so you can watch the chefs prepare your food. Lovely décor and atmosphere. Seat yourself and pay at the cashier.
Grilled Flank Steak Panini $ 10 — this panini was delicious. It came with a side of roasted red potatoes. The Harissa sauce gave the sandwich a nice kick. Nothing too special about the potatoes.
Love how everything is made fresh here. It would be nice to have more cooks, but space is limited so it’s understandable. My food took about 15 mins as it was very busy here on Saturday.
Overall good food, chill experience, and friendly staff!

Ordered: Egyptian poached eggs, Crème brûlée french toast, Blueberry turnover, and Pistachio croissant
Pros– The poached eggs were accompanied by avocado, arugula and tomato on sourdough – all very fresh. The bread had a nice crunch to it and the flavors melded well together. The French toast was fluffy and the brûlée batter made the inside creamy. I loved how they brûléed the top of the banana slices to add a twist to simply sliced fruit. The top of the French toast had a raspberry jam which had the perfect balance of sweetness. The turnover was flaky and the blueberries were clearly fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful in offering recommendations.
Cons– The pistachio croissant didn’t have the flaky, soft texture I typically associate and love about croissants. You had to get to the deep core of it to get the soft texture. The tables weren’t as consistently cleaned as I think they should’ve been.
