Seated immediately upon our entry. Service and food were both good. Loved the ambience and the pictures on the wall, all of which showed why Brooklyn is called Brooklyn. Diversity in culture and acceptance of who we are as individuals. Me: Waffles, bacon and a fried egg. Them: Pancakes, bacon and fried egg. Thé waffle was crispy with just the right amount of sweetness, the bacon flavorful and the egg fried just right. Them said thé pancakes were nice and fluffy but refused to eat them all to save room for later. If in the area I highly suggest stopping by, and if I am ever back in Portugal I will do the same. I give this place four yumms up and a is Brooklyn in The House #Hella!!
First breakfast in Lisbon was at Brooklyn and it hit the spot just right. I got the bulgur pilaf with a fried egg, and decaf latte. Shared the halloumi fries, too. I have to say the bulgur was cooked perfectly. I've never tasted it be such a great consistency. My husband's meal could've been more in terms of portion, but overall, he seemed fine with it. The highlight were the fries, I'd say. Ambiance-wise, it feels like they found everything they could find that was Brooklyn-themed and threw it all into one space. For a Queens girl, it was sweet to see. It all comes together in a nice, super hipster way.
A wonderful breakfast spot that we discovered right across from our hotel. Very cute & cozy. People that own/manage the place are very friendly & the food is wonderful. There are many options to choose from for every taste. Whether you only want a coffee with a pastry, a light breakfast or a heavy meal - you will find everything here.
Decided to come here for breakfast after seeing all the good reviews. This was a cute cafe. The vibe reminded me of Brooklyn, New York (hence the name, I guess). We got seated right away. I ordered the Croissant - which I got the latte, orange juice, croissant butter with ham, cheese and tomato and scrambled eggs. It took nearly an hour for us to get our drinks and food. I thought the ham, cheese and tomato would be between the croissant and warmed up, but they weren't. The were laid out separately like on a platter. The slice of ham was cold, and had a dollop of preserve. Even my scrambled eggs were cold. And the croissant was pretty dry. The portions were good. I just wished that my food was hot. They don't accept credit cards. Make sure you bring your euros!
Great breakfast deals that are delicious & the service is fast and friendly. Where else can you get breakfast w/eggs, meat, bread (pancakes, croissant or roll!) w/fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee (latte, etc) for between 8.90 and 10.90 euros? My "comfort combo even came w/a small bowl of fruit! Restaurant is very clean and well-organized & the only downside is that someone might sit outside an open window to smoke. Please see my pictures if the 3 potential "set" breakfasts - of course, other dishes, pastries, coffees also available. We ate there twice on our 4 days in Lisbon & would have eaten there again, except they closed on Sundays!
Brooklyn cafe, located in Lisboa Portugal is one of my top 5 go to restaurants for authentic fresh organic dishes. From the moment that I discovered the restaurant the vibe that I got from the appearance was a solid impression. Strategic Outdoor seating with a park across the street that one specific days has the local artist selling art, trinkets and clothing for tourist and visitors from around the world. The inside seating was enough for groups and couples, while the bar seating could hold 4 people comfortably. There are photos of American artist and entertainers from all over the country on the walls that really set off the experience. Artist like Lenny Kravitz, Biggie, The Rat Pack, Jimi Hendrix, Jackie Robinson, the list went on - with some of the greatest! You walk in and here some of the coolest music that sets the mood as you inhale freshly baked croissants that are homemade. The chefs are strictly identified with stylish hats and black aprons. Clearly the represent and signify professional from head to toe. The beauty in my opinion is that they were all women of beautiful color! They took time to prepare breakfast and lunch with keeping the customer first. The owners of this place is a beautiful family that took care with planning and organizing the best parts and highlights. In fact, the daughter of the owners reminded me of my own daughter - it was my own highlight that I felt I had to offer and share with the family a photo of my oldest daughter Xian who took favor to the young woman who was working diligently (their daughter) or heir to the throne. Her name was pronounced "Bia", maybe short for Bianca - I don't want to misspell her name so I will keep this chapter brief. The family spoke at least to languages that I picked up on French and Portuguese - Carlos, owner and father connected with me as we smiled and laughed about the connection and importance of family and business! I fell in love with the experience ya'll - you have to pay them a visit when you arrive in Lisboa Portugal. The restrooms are clean, well lit and respected. In fact, throughout my travels in Portugal there was only one toilet that was shady and that was at the train station. 90% of the ones visited in public places were CLEAN - like a community effort! Now onto my food experience at Brooklyn Cafe; The scents - as soon as your walk in you can smell bread, here coffee hissing from the and here the gentle chatter of skillet to spatula to eggs dancing on plates of fresh salad, balsamic vinegars from around the world. The food is such a variety, You can tell that the take the spin on an American breakfast, of Brooklyn diner and flip it with a European flare and fragrance. Anything you choose will be made with perfection. More photos and review to be added at a later time. Just two things to keep in mind. Attractively Affordable, best ambiance in the area. Brooklyn cafe has captured the essence and sells it first class!!
I still remember the breakfast here very fondly. They have a variety of delicious breakfast sets you can't go wrong with. My fiance got the Brooklyn special, which came with coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, variety of breads, ham and cheese, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon AND pancake! I mean, if you want a hearty, wholesome breakfast, you needn't look farther! I opted for the avocado salad, which came with fresh arugula, buoyant cherry tomatoes and thick balsamic vinegar. I really dig the vibe here, too. It seems really popular with college students, and is really close to downtown.
Loved loved loved this spot. The two waitresses were gorgeous - like they just stepped out of an Erykah Badu and Groove Theory music video. Food was delicious and music was on point. They got everything right - it was like stepping into a neighborhood cafe in Brooklyn, but in Lisbon! I will definitely return on a future trip.
This place is not only cute and cozy, it's chicly decorated with vintage American portraits of actors, and they provide amazing food. The menu has a lot to choose from so you can't go wrong no matter which way you go. Looks as though every meal comes with orange juice and your choice of coffee or tea. This place is definitely a must try when you're in Lisbon. Not to mention the staff are very kind and attentive. The sardines on toast was soo good.
All I can say is that I sure wish We had found this place earlier. Sucked into the pastel de nata tourist groove it was not until the end of the trip that I thought to see where my fellow yelpers went to eat. This is a hidden gem not far off the tourist track. Small and intimate with an extensive menu and a Brooklyn vibe! Service is friendly-our food was a little slow to arrive so we were offered a free drink to compensate. Hubby had the granola which came with a delicious tub of super fresh yogurt. He also ordered a croissant that was 'nicely jammed' I went for the 5 euro comfort breakfast which was a great deal (see my photo). Egg, fresh bread and cheese plus a cup of fresh fruit (no grape or honeydew filler here) and a fresh oj plus my choice of coffee beverage-should have checked to see if they offer soy milk. They had an incredible loooorange cake and some Other yummy pastries which I managed to resist. Only sadness is they open at 9 and my conference starts then so I cannot come back tomorrow.

As advertised, this is a nice little piece of Brooklyn in Lisbon. We had a few things on the table The " toasties" analog is avocado toast in the US. They are delicious. The bowls are equally good. The BLT was a bit small Burgers look legit. The space is right out of a hipster joint in US in a good way. Prices were $8-$15 PP. read more

There are so many wonderful things to say about Brooklyn. But the most important include the wonderful and friendly staff and delicious food! This American also appreciated the vibe and music. On my trip to Lisbon, my travel group was fortunate Brooklyn was in walking distance of our Airbnb. I ate breakfast two days in a row and loved it! I ordered the same meal, scrambled eggs served with tomato, a croissant, ham and cheese and jam. I know it sounds simple, but it was so good! I also purchased a muffin stuffed with caramel and heated it in the microwave for breakfast the third morning. This muffin was moist and packed with so much sweet goodness. For those who like coffee you will be happy too. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I had hot tea one morning and juice the next. The juice was fresh and the tea helped wake me up. If you are in the neighborhood, I highly recommend stopping by for a bite. And don't forget the pastries. read more

Awesome little place! My mom and I are in Lisbon for the day (staying in Spain) and we stumbled upon this place on Yelp! The service was amazing! They are super kind and patient. The food was delish and the portions are perfect! The restaurant itself is super cute and the vibe is amazing. If you're looking for a place with awesome decor, this is the place! read more
Planet Brooklyn. Well, Portuguese Brooklyn at least. This was a fun little café to catch a breather. Get a break from climbing hills and have some tasty food and cold drinks. Found this place as we wondered by. It was cute looking and had people in it. We sat down in the window seat and decided on the Roasted Cassava chips with hot sauce, a beer and a mixed drink. The food came out in decent time. The Cassava fries were good. The sauce couldn't be interpreted as hot, but it was tasty nonetheless. The only beer they had on tap was Heineken (unfortunately like much of Lisbon). So, I went with it. The temperature was hot, so the cute little glass of beer was much needed. Mine must had had a hole in the bottom cause I had a few of those. The Brooklyn motif is very well done. There are artifacts stating its Brooklynness all over the café. Inside the bathrooms and on the menu. If you aren't paying attention you might have thought you were sitting in NYC and not Lisbon. Glad we found Brooklyn and came inside. read more
This place has great food! Lots of bread if you're a breadophile like I am. I got the comfort breakfast which included coffee, orange juice, a fried egg, fruit, and a cheese sandwich. I also got a bagel with cream cheese and avocado which was delicious. The fruit was fresh and the egg perfectly cooked. My SO had the Algeria brunch which included slightly different breads, cheese, ham, yogurt and fruits. He was really satisfied and is still talking about that cheese he got (it was amazing!). We each had a brunch cocktail which was refreshing and strong. I'd definitely come back if I visit Lisbon again! read more

The food is very very simple. It's okay and cheap but its not a gourmet place or a place for sophisticated foodies. Nothing special, don't expect much. For its money - it has perfect everything. read more

Probably my favorite bfast in Portugal! The restaurant is super cute and I know a bit odd because it's NYC themed however, the food and experience was amazing. My sister and I both ordered the comfort breakfast. Orange Juice was fresh and latte was one of the best I've had. The sandwich came with ham and cheese and a bit of mayo and the egg was cooked perfectly so I could dip into it! We really enjoyed the strawberries, kiwi, and bananas. This meal kept us full for a day of sight seeing! Don't miss this!! Also, the whole thing was just 5€! read more

Hipster brunch spot in a quiet neighborhood. Good food with great prices and good service. Two of us went and we ordered the bifana (€5 pork steak sandwich with BBQ sauce, fresh salad, and potato chips), and the "comfort special" for €5 which included hot milk coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, one over easy egg, fresh fruit (banana, kiwi, honeydew melon) and a ham and cheese sandwich. We were stuffed and food was delicious! The owner was kind and attentive. Food came out promptly and was made to order. The owner even gave us tips about Lisbon. It's a really cute spot with strong attention to detail. We'll definitely be back! Also: they do take credit cards! read more

Went for breakfast. This restaurant has enough charm to spare. It is small so large parties would struggle. We had 4 and were very comfortable. The food was the best we've had in Portugal. The prices were very reasonable. An espresso juice a breakfast was 4-11 depending on the quantity of food. There is definitely a non rushed atmosphere. If you are in a hurry I would probably avoid this one. The service was on par with non-tipping cultures. read more
