    Wow this place is amazing!!! Adorable cafe, delicious coffee (HIGHLY recommend the golden latte - unique and delicious, made with ginger and turmeric). French toast with berries was probably the best french toast I ever had. The staff is super nice and helpful. What a gem of a place!

    Cute little cafe with few indoor seats. Small but delicious. Food was fresh and service was quick!

    Ordered the veggie omelette and a large chai iced and it was delicious. The veggie omelette was great. The side salad was really small, but I just added the salad to the omelette which helped and the toast was dry, but I asked for butter and got it immediately however I was not expecting melted butter, but it was actually pretty nice to Have on toast. There's no free water so that was a little bit difficult on a really hot summer day and I wish they wouldn't leave the door open letting out all the AC but the place was pretty cool given it was very humid.

    Delicious coffee in the cutest little cafe in Brooklyn! I love it here the baristas are so nice and it's quiet.

    Stopped by for a quick brunch with delicious lattes. My favorites were the Chicken Sandwich and the Rose Latte. Both lattes weren't too sweet, which I really enjoyed. However, the crepe batter was interesting. - Chicken Sandwich - Blueberry Pie Crepe - Rose Latte - Matcha Latte

    Such a great experience eating here for lunch on their opening day! Cafe Canary has lots of delicious crepe, sandwich and bowl options. Their coffee is amazing! The outside is bright and inviting. Inside you're met with cozy vibes, upbeat music, lots of colorful pillows and plants. Staff was so kind and generously offered me complimentary samples of their sweets. Excited to return!

    small cafe in South Williamsburg. warm, clean and well-maintained. fair amount of seating for people working on laptops and chatting. got an Americano but was told or charged the wrong price -- the coffee was just okay. mundanity often finds me without a plot in Brooklyn

    What a charming cafe. Love the decorations. I got the Honey Rose Latte and it came out very pretty and also tasted pretty too. My daughter got a Green Tea Latte and it was delicious. Not too sweet. The fresh squeezed orange juice was made to order. Which I really liked. The Bacon Omelette and Toasted Chicken Sandwich were excellent. The Blueberry Crepe was perfect to finish our meal. Our server was super kind and helpful. But remember there's no bathroom in the cafe!

    Great vibes, service, and coffee. My latte was nice and strong. Good spot to work out of for a few hours.

    Cafe canary was a pleasant visit with so many surprising dishes. Everything was splendid. Even the drinks were delicious. I recommend you to get out of your comfort zone for this restaurant and try something new. Had a great time here with timely service and a great comfortable ambiance. Will be back for some more good vibes

    This place is great! Food is excellent. Came here with a party of 6, had a few different meals. My…read morewife hade the Cuban sandwich, excellent but $20, a bit pricey. I had the half chicken with rice and beans, may have been the best chicken I've ever had. Portion was huge. Everyone in party thought their meal was excellent. $16 cocktails Really friendly service but sloooow. Also at checkout had to ask server if gratuity had been already added. It had been..... credit card reader still had 20% and above tipping options.

    TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food. We ordered the egg katsu sandwich and the eggs rothko. The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish. Overall I enjoyed this place and would love to come back to try more dishes. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect weekend brunch spot.

If I were to do again, no sausage, I don't believe you need it for this sandwich. The chocolate milk is regular. - 4/5 Value (1-5): For what I got, I believe it is overpriced, even though it tasted really good, I don't know how many eggs are used to create the egg katsu, but $17 seems like a reach. There are other items on the menu that cost the same price but will make you feel more full. 3/5 Customer Service (1-5): The customer service was attentive and nice. 5/5
