Vip Coffee

the worst food I had in years. the delivery time was longer, than they promiced, the food was cold and disgusting to say the least. on top of that the dellivery guy never gave me my soda and when I called him he said he’s too far to bring it back. Never again.

To suggest that VIP Coffee is a VIP kind of an establishment is a bit silly considering how it fails to stand out in a hood where countless other nearby joints specialize in the same thing. VIP Coffee doesn’t seem to have the Brooklyn vibey charms that many places abide by: sustainability, organic, or hype. At it’s very core, it is simply affordable diner food with some Latin elements sprinkled throughout the menu. Hence, it gets a nod from me.
It is a small, like a café with an amped up food menu. From sandwiches and pastas to breakfast and seafood, there is a lot on the menu and a majority of which is under $ 10. The sides scream Latin all the way, with items like yuca, tostones, fried manduro plantains, and red beans + rice. They also serve gelato during the summer months, which is a nice touch for those not feeling coffee or heavy food.
Things that have worked well for me here are their turkey burgers ($ 9), huevos rancheros, and their meat lovers omelette ($ 9), which has an added component of spinach and gruyère cheese. Along with their Williams Bridge breakfast sammy ($ 8), it’s clear that breakfast is what they excel in the most.
I wasn’t terribly fond of the fish tacos ($ 9), open faced tuna melt ($ 8) or their «Thanksgiving» turkey sandwich ($ 9). Something wasn’t working, perhaps the ciabatta bread was too hard for my tastes but the meat was also just a tad too dry. No bueno.
All that noted, I would still give them a chance down the road. There are some nice folks operating that counter, just hoping for a little improvement on the food front. At the very least, the delivery is on point.

I have ordered from here twice and the food is very good. The guacamole is especially well made and taste fresh and very flavorful. I also ordered a salad with grilled chicken and the chicken was extremely flavorful and tender. (which is a hard find when tons of restaurants have dry, bland meat)
Two Drawbacks. For 1 juice and a breakfast plate it was $ 13.00. A little steep for a not very large portion. 2: I have no proof but I am convinced that the $ 4 «fresh squeezed» orange juice is nothing more than Tropicana. The difference between that stuff and fresh squeezed is pretty obvious. And if it is, that is pretty messed up to rip someone off like that
