    Peanut Butter and Chocolate Ganache Kolache
    Haley H.

    Love love love this place! I used to live in Texas and have had a craving for good kolaches that is so hard to feed, but this place is great! I had a sausage and cheese kolache along with a peanut butter-chocolate one. So tasty and fast. Each one cost around $5 which is pretty steep, but on par with New York prices I suppose Cute interior design Just a few seats inside and on the patio

    Been trying to find a good kolache place in the city, and this one hits the spot! Reasonably priced with a lot of various kolaches, definitely come here if you're craving one (or never had one). Very fluffy and full of flavor, I would definitely come back. We even got the chai-cider seasonal drink, which was amazing!

    There aren't a lot of kolache places in New York. Being from Texas, I feel like kolaches were such a staple for some reason. It was really nice to see a kolache shop with such extension options - especially the vegetarians ones. I got the mushroom and it was delicious! They also have seasonal kolaches as well so definitely come check this place throughout the years. They also have seasonal drinks as well and the latte I got was delicious.

    Vegan biscuit with strawberry butter

    I had wanted to visit this place for a long time. So many kolache options including a vegan biscuit with a few different vegan butter spreads (strawberry and chive). They also have a lot of seasonal flavored drinks that looked delicious. They have seating in front that is open air, indoors in the back, as well as a back patio.

    What a neighborhood gem!! Excellent coffee and the kolache are just like my mother makes. They have fresh fruit filled as well as meat fillings for breakfast. If you're in the area plan to stop here. It is fantastic and so are the staff.

    Cherry cheese pastry, orange roll and a delicious drip coffee served piping hot with oat milk.
    Alicia S.

    Cold rainy day and what could be more welcoming than a delicious coffee with oat milk at the charming Brooklyn Kolache. I also tried the cherry cheese pastry which reminded me of one I had visiting relatives in Slovakia. The pastry was chewy/bready, the cherries tart and the cheese creamy in all the best proportions The orange twist roll also didn't disappoint. Serves hot at your request this cutie packs an unexpected punch. Biting into it your face is bathed in a warm orange scented steam cloud due to the orange zest glaze that really doesn't look like it can pack that much sweet zestiness into each bite. Inside seating is limited to 3 counter seats and today a groovy hipster was giving a tarot reading to a young woman who was lamenting why can't she just date men AND women. I say any man or woman she brings here will be weak in the knees at the first bite of pastry. Outside is a small patio open to the street but defined by ironwork with a black and white floor making the space much more cozy than most sidewalk offerings. I can't wait to come back to try the spiced maple latte. Or the cardamom matcha. Or the lavender latte.

    This has been a safe haven for me since I moved to the neighborhood awhile back this past year. Wonderful artisanal coffee (café artesanal) and vegan options if that is your personal dietary subscription. Lovely community [leave a book-take a book] library by their back-of-the-shop garden seating in the cafe. Thanks for being a sanctuary in the community

    First time trying kolache! Stopped in the evening near close and it was a nice place to chat over a warm beverage and a snack! I tried the sausage and cheese and thought it was quite good. Reminded me a lot of Chinese bread with its yeast. The service here was really great, super nice man behind the counter, especially given that it was near closing time on a Friday! They are on too good to go as well if people are interested.

    Blueberry Sweet Cheese Kolache, Kielbasa , jalapeno and cheese kolache, and ube latte
    Sarah M.

    First off, petitioning for a Queens location! Brooklyn Kolache is in Brooklyn and now Manhattan so obviously next up is Queens right...right?? Fingers crossed! After moving to NYC from ATX, I have missed my kolache fix and BK surely filled that pastry sized hole in my heart. Whenever I am here or convince a friend who lives by to pickup an order for me, I stock up. My absolute favorite is the sausage jalapeño cheese kolache so I get 2-3 of those. I also try various other savory kolaches including their egg & cheese varities. They have vegetarian options as well. As for the sweet kolaches, I always get the blueberry as well as the lemon and try others like the cherry. I just spotted s'mores on their menu so now I need to try that one because I love s'mores. It's not often that I am able to try their coffee drinks but most recently I finally was able to try their ube latte which I ordered hot. I love anything ube and this latte hit the spot. I'd like to try it iced next time. So to sum up, come to Queens, Brooklyn Kolache!!!

    Apple kolache Salted Caramel Latte ICed
    Destiny R.

    Came here to work on the patio when the weather was nice and got everything I needed! Apple kolache was super soft, fluffy, sweet. Salted Caramel Latte was a great but the Flavor wasn't too noticeable. I may need to have just stirred a little more lol.

    Jalapeño, egg and cheese bread with matcha latte
    Violetztasha ..

    I've been in this neighborhood for 5 years, but accidentally went there for the first time last week. I had matcha latte and jalapeño, egg and cheese bread once and now I miss them every day. I'm looking forward to coming back again

    Menu - lots already sold out by 11am!
    Annalise W.

    I had never heard of kolaches before, but stumbled upon this place. I recommend coming early - came on the weekend around 11am and they were already sold out of half the menu! There wasn't a line at all when we came and we were able to sit with our dog at one of the outdoor tables in the front. The dough reminds me of the Chinese sweet buns - so doughy and the perfect amount of sweetness. My only tiny thing is that I wish the toppings / fillings for some of them were more evenly dispersed. But all in all, everything was great and I'll definitely come back. I wanted to try as much as possible so I ordered the below: -Cherry Sweet Cheese: yum. I wish the cheese was a bit more evenly dispersed, but this was great. -Blueberry Sweet Cheese: delicious. If I had to pick between the two fruits, this was my favorite. -Everything: yum. I just wish there was more cream cheese. It was just a tiny amount off to one side. -Sausage and Cheese: yum. This was my favorite savory one. I just wish there was more cheese. -Mushroom and Goat Cheese: very good, but I wish the toppings were inside because there's only a tiny amount of mushrooms on top. I probably wouldn't order again because of this. -Sweet Cheese: good, but with all the other delicious toppings to choose from I wouldn't order this again. -Sausage Jalapeño and Cheese: good! But

    This is a real cozy place to eat something wholesome and enjoy the atmosphere. There's free wifi and you can sit in front of the entrance, inside the main area and the back. There's also a garden area out back as well! After 5 pm it's Bogo for the Kolaches. The staff is friendly and kind.

    Rule of Neglecting the Thirds…read more The space is truly iconic. Rule of Thirds occupies a fantastic warehouse in Greenpoint, and the architecture is a major part of the experience. N Architects worked with the industrial character of the building rather than against it: huge volume, high ceilings, long views across the room, and a controlled roughness that makes the place feel very Brooklyn. The food is more irregular. Everything is designed to be shared family-style, which makes dinner fun, particularly with a group. The Fish Sando is extraordinary: hake, butter roll, salsa verde, and somehow exactly the right proportions. The shishitos are excellent too. The Yaki Onigiri, on the other hand, were surprisingly dry and heavy. Not terrible, but not something I would order again. The sake selection is impressive. One of the pleasures here is asking the staff to bring a few different bottles to taste before choosing one. They have happily done this for us, and it can turn ordering sake into a great part of the dinner. What is strange is how inconsistent this experience can be. On different visits, with similarly sized groups and substantial bills, the range of sake offered for tasting has varied enormously. On our last visit, for reasons we never understood, someone apparently decided that we were on a budget and offered us only the least expensive options. We eventually found one we liked, so no harm done, but it was a peculiar assumption to make. Then there is the Rule of Thirds problem. We were a party of three, but throughout the meal the service repeatedly behaved as though we were a party of two. For the sake tasting, two glasses arrived. Dessert was shared, but only two spoons appeared. We pointed it out several times, yet somehow it kept happening. It was annoying for all of us and particularly uncomfortable for the third person, who understandably began to feel singled out. Perhaps it was an unusually off night. But after our last dinner, it has been renamed as the Rule of Neglecting the Third, and honestly this might be the reason to not coming back.

It provides the perfect setting for Barzakh Cafe, a social club/gathering spot of sorts for the pan-Maghreb community across New York. We came for the couscous celebration on July 4th. The owner is Mauritanian, and the couscous reminded me of the ones I've eaten in the northern reaches of Senegal, with tender potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. I had been hoping for something closer to kosksi, but the dish was enjoyable nonetheless. We sat outside in the casually-laid out backyard while hearing songs blending French and Maghrebian Arabic emanating from inside. Barzakh also hosts events from outside the region, including qawwali nights and the like. It is a rare unique space in the neighborhood.
