The food was very tasty, service is excellent and everyone who works there is very welcoming. We stopped in to grab a small snack, and picked out the Grassroots Bar and a chocolate chip banana bread slice to share. Our consensus was that the Grassroots Bar was incredible and the banana bread was OK, a bit on the dry side. We loved the ambiance and Grassroots Bar so much we made one more stop -- our last stop -- before heading out of town. Yummers.

Their baked goods are the best--their buckwheat scone is mildly sweet and earthy. Their sandwiches can't be beat. I HATE BLT's. They are usually presented as triangles of toasted whole wheat bread with limp iceberg lettuce, barely a tomato and a sliver of bacon with too much mayo. Everything I do not want. But at Polly's...the humble BLT becomes an art form. They get the bread correct first of all--a delicious toasted ciabatta spread modestly with a gently garlicked mayo. Sharp, nutty micro greens and arugula instead of pointless iceberg, thick tomato slices, avocado and oh yes, bacon. That is a sandwich done right. This place is well beloved by the locals so it's best to arrive early if you still want that chocolate croissant!

With a focus on community and comfort, we provide a haven for locals and visitors alike to relax, recharge' As my curiosity leads me to explore new coffee places, the one common thread I see is the focus on community. The cafes, coffee bars and eateries who recognize the need to connect are the real entrepreneurs. Polly's Cafe patrons are sipping coffee drinks made with La Colombe and devouring Balthazar pastries. As I waited to order my cold brew, the conversations ran the gamut from school, work, summer travel plans, catching up. I know I sound like a broken record, but today it is so much more than just grabbing a cup of coffee. It is unwinding, savoring each sip and bite with a friend or partner and just enjoying the connection. Polly's Cafe reminds me of a cafe one would find in the Hudson Valley: small, quaint and offering high end food. The interior is cozy, a few tables and a backyard garden. The menu packs a small punch: hot/cold beverages, breakfast burritos, BLT, salads and so much more. I waited around 10 minutes to order a cold brew, the pastries (croissants: chocolate, everything, goat cheese and herb, ham and cheese, butter, sticky toffee banana bread, chocolate babka crumb cake, brownies)were sold out and only olive oil cake remained. ( I arrived @2pm) I made a mental note to revisit to pack a few goodies to go for a future BBG visit.

For many years when I visited Park Slope in the morning I would eat at Naidre's on 7th avenue. It…read morewas one of my "comfort spots" but when they closed their doors about a year ago, I was very sad but still needed a place to eat in the area. Fortunately, not too far away was Little Purity. I had walked by Little Purity many times in the past, but the crowds that would be waiting outside always dissuaded me. Finally about a year ago I went for the first time, and now whenever I go to Park Slope during the early hours Little Purity is my go to spot. Located on the corner of 7th Avenue and 12 Street, a red, eye catching awning welcomes you as you step inside. There is an old fashioned counter (with seating) to the right and booths to the left. In the middle are regular tables and chairs. The rest room is towards the back and to the left. I usually wind up going to this diner in the early morning hours so it is not very packed (ex: before 9:30am on Sundays). However, once 10am passes that's when the waiting outside begins. The staff at Little Purity is fantastic. The owners are always welcoming and chat you up just the right amount to make you feel at home while not being intrusive. Service is always on point and quick, even during their busier hours. I typically have egg-based dishes. Whether it is an omelette with cheese and veggies or eggs over easy, I have enjoyed everything I've had here. I also really appreciate the option of having a small cup of oatmeal in place of home fries. Even better? They'll provide a serving of hot sauce and home made jam at your request and you can use the jam in the oatmeal and your toast while the hot sauce is fantastic on eggs. Little Purity is the kind of third space most neighborhoods need, and I'm so glad it continues to serve the community. Check it out!

The eggs and sausage and eggs and bacon were also good and the portion is enough to make you feel satiated.

The storefront has a lot of signage, so I was surprised to learn that it is full service dining in the back! On Saturday morning, it was packed, mostly with Latino families, getting breakfast. The bagels looked good in the baskets, so I got one to go. And a coffee. There was a brisk amount of counter service and it moved quickly. The bagel had a pleasant crunch from toasting, and there was plenty of cream cheese. The coffee was fine. Inexpensive and did the job. They have a clip to tether your dog out front, but I had already secured mine to a pole.

They also host events here, which is perfect. We arrived for a late lunch on a Sunday at 3pm and were welcomed to the backyard, which was filled. The space is a bit tight though when you're getting up and back to your seat if using the restroom or something. It was also a bit hot sitting there on a summer day. Anyways, the menu has a huge variety of options from brunch, pastas, burgers, wraps, paninis, etc. I opted for the Veggie Omelet ($15) with the Cornflake Chicken ($9) appetizer while the fiancé had the Penne Alla Vodka ($19). The portions and food was pretty good for the price and we were both stuffed by the end of the meal. I liked the refreshing salad paired with my omelet, which was filled with lots of tomato, mushrooms and spinach for a hearty meal. While I did like the texture of the cornflake chicken, it was a bit bland. You definitely need the honey mustard that was served with it. This was a satisfying meal under the prettiest back room. Lots of variety to choose from and a nice spot in the neighborhood.
