If you're in Williamsburg, you can't miss this cozy, homemade Guatemalan restaurant. The food is fantastic, you won't find another place like it in NYC. Me & my boyfriend are big foodies, and have a true love for South American cuisine, so our expectations were pretty high. We had read about this place back home in Switzerland, and didn't want to miss it. The tacos, toastadas & fried plantain were the highlights, along with the banana flan dessert - and I'm a veggie - so there's options for everyone! Shout out to Gwen for the great service - we will definitely be back! Gracias! J&P read more

Awesome little café in East Williamsburg. Coffee is completely on point. Service is very friendly! The staff here is chatty and easy to relate to, very curious about what you think of the place and their food / coffee. They've got a cool breakfast thing going on during the week. I've been for both food and coffee and have yet to be disappointed. The place never gets too crazy either, which is cool, makes it a safe option when you're thinking about a midday brunch on the weekend! read more

Claudia's - Yummmmmm!!!! So good. Well prepared brunch dishes! - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

been looking for a Guatemalan spot that did my country of origin Justice and here it is and i hope its the first of many! everything was spot on and delicious and beautifully presented.. my only complaint if any was the tamal it lacked flavor and was on the dry side... me having memories of tamales for Noche buena, christmas, new years eve.. helping my great grandmother pump out 500 tamales for resale and a big family, i have fund memories of this dish thats dear to my heart... i wish this place lots success and hope to be back to try the Tamal again! read more

I ordered takeout recently. Food was okay but the portion for the price was laughable. I got the Guatemala traditional breakfast but it was a miss and still felt hungry afterwards. The plátanos were undercooked. The eggs were a sad omelet and not scrambled with a sprinkle of cold tomatoes. Will give it a shot next time I'm around the neighborhood but will make sure to dine in! read more

Claudia's - Gust emala Tradicional Plato Breakfast - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have been here a few times because I live in the area and it is a really solid quick brunch place. I have had the Brunch Tostados and the House Brunch. They really accomodating with adding extras. I really like their pico de gallo and I always get it on the side. My boyfriend always has the burger and he really enjoys it. The service is pretty consistent but it is really small so it fills up fast. Sitting by the window sucks in the mid-morning because it tends to be a bit hot and too much light. The cocktails are also really great. They are always adding and subtracting from the menu so we go back every so often to see what's new. read more

We got the traditional breakfast and the banana deep pan cake which I am now forgetting the name of. We also got some passion fruit juice and a few cocktails and a guava Mamosa. Everything here is excellent. The staff was really kind and accommodating. The ambience is really nice and doesn't feel like a gentrification vibe That I'm finding in the rest of Williamsburg. I felt very at home here, and the food was fresh, healthy, Rich, flavorful. read more

Great food! The baked eggs were so fresh and the cilantro, tomatoe and onion were refreshing flavors. The french toast was light and flavorful. My boyfriend had the steak and eggs. The steak was a little bland and the potatoes were delicious. Overall, great food. We would go back! read more

Food and drink was great. The only problem I had was when I asked the young lady for lemon, she used her hand to grab it. She then returned to what she was doing while she played with her hair. That left a bad taste in my mouth. I dont want anyone using their bare hands on my food. That's not hygienic. read more

A bit pricey, par for the area, but the food was amazing!!! Will definitely go back (just not too often).

In keeping in step with Madonna as I am ought to do- just like a prayer, oral stimulation.. and Guatemalan breakfast can take me there. If anyone else struggles to find a weekday brunch spot like I have (honestly one is hard pressed to luck out in finding a spot these days, what has this weekend-only brunch life come to?) I highly recommend C Lo. They stop serving breakfast items at 12, a reasonable time to arrive before on a weekday. Mondays are half-priced Mojito day! Happened upon this last week and it was a true blessing. The weekday breakfast choices here are also on point. I ordered the combo plate of sorts- came with a fried egg on toast with cucumbers and tomatoes, a Greek yogurt with honey and granola, and small arugula salad. Also got the side of avocado mash and sprouts toast to satisfy my basic side. The fresh breakfast made me feel extra good about ordering multiple mojitos. read more

I like the ambiance of this place. Really quiet and calm and relaxing. The waitress was really nice hooked up my cappuccino. It was pretty good. I had the shrimp tacos which were also very good. And I'm an avid taco critic so I was pleased. I'm definitely coming back to try breakfast. Even my boyfriend who never likes anything liked his pulled pork sandwich. Woohoo! read more

C. Lo is one of the most underrated brunch places in Williamsburg. Fantastic food but never have to wait for a table. Probably been 40-50 times in the past two years and never had a bad dish. I've been waiting two years for a website/blog to blow up the place in a "best brunch in Brooklyn" list but somehow it's remained under the radar. Which is great because I've never had to wait for seat, ever. Now that I've left the neighborhood, I feel comfortable sharing the secret ;) Personal favorite is the Pancakes topped with cheesecake filling and berries with a side of the breakfast chorizo. Incredible. read more

I never write reviews. This was so bad that I felt the need. Ordered the CLo burger medium rare... pretty sure they cooked it for a total of 10 seconds on either side. read more

Very rude staff at the Evil Twin food truck. They have poor customer service skills, a little kindness goes a long way. If they don't want to work weekends, they should resign.... read more

You come for the salmon toast and stay for the alcohol infused coffees. The service is great and the baristas always understand what you are talking about. Could be a bit crowded on weekends so try and get there at a reasonable hour. read more

I'll spare you the Gnarls Barkley lyrics and just share that this is a sit-down spot that would do very well if it added some inviting takeout area. Brunch was pretty slow, with the bar/cafe space pretty empty and yet the service was still slow. read more

Claudia's is amazing. We ordered the garbanzo bean salad and the carnitas dish. Both had a ton of flavor and were very fresh. The service was great and the ambiance is relaxing and homey. Highly recommend. read more

I really enjoyed the BELT it was simple but the sauce really brought it all together. The grilled cheese French toast was really over whelming, way to many conflicting taste between the sharp cheddar cheese, the bacon and the maple syrup.The coffee was terrible. For claiming to be a Spanish inspired restaurant the coffee taste like dirty water (especially the Caffe con leche). Hope they can improve the coffee quality read more

I loved this place so much , as you can see from my review from three years ago, but it has gone DOWNHILL. New ownerships, and terrible kitchen staff. The food made me gag today. We have been going here almost 4 times a month and more for coffee and it's just not worth it anymore. New ownership also made it look really urban outfitters, which wouldn't matter if the food was good. Such a sad day for the neighborhood but it's definitely not good anymore. (Also service has never been great, but I love the crew there.) read more

I come here very often; the food is amazing. Healthy, aesthetically pleasing, delicious, and very filling. The staff is friendly and down to earth but very attentive and precise. The coffee is smooth and addicting. Today I ordered food to go and waited in the car with a friend. As I opened the door to go pick up the food, I noticed the server was already running it out to me. Excellent service. Overall great experience each time. UPDATE: new item, Caesar Salad. I decided I can live off of this salad for the rest of my life. read more

LOVE C.LO! My partner and I come here at least 1x a week for brunch. The food is always AMAZING. Like every single time, they never disappoint. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I really like the latinx vibe here as well, and the music is always really good. Recently they added the option to buy champagne by the bottle for mimosas, so I am definitely ordering that next time I am feeling like a boozy brunch. My favorite order is the Brisket Grilled Cheese. I literally order this EVERY SINGLE TIME. Mainly because I am a creature of habit, but also because it's my fave. My partner has also gone in during the week to get some work done. All in all its my favorite neighborhood place! read more

Phenomenal!! My group of friends were visiting just for the weekend and chose to come back for a second brunch because it was so great!! Can not say enough wonderful things about this place. read more

I visited C.Lo Cafe on a Sunday for brunch. We ordered the avocado toast, the apple cherry pancakes, eggs, home fries and two guava mimosas. The toast was ridiculously small. I don't like big portions, but this is the tiniest avocado toast I've ever seen. The apple cherry pancakes were ok. The home fries were good. The guava mimosas were good. The prices are average. The place is clean and bright. The bathroom was somewhat clean, could use a touch up. We had to wait a bit for the home fries. We were almost done eating by the time they were ready. Somehow the order was not put in. The waitress was friendly. It seems like a family run restaurant. The music was nice. Overall, this would be an okay spot to visit if you live in the neighborhood. With so many great brunch spots in NYC, I would not go out of my way to eat here again. read more

Let me tell you that I am officially obsessed with this place. When I say they have a customer in me forever..I really mean forever. I want to live here. In their kitchen. The food was absolutely amazing!!!! I could not get enough of everything we had. The flavoring combination is just something to rave about. The place is small, intimate and very clean. I am soooo looking forward to me next visit here. read more

Love Claudia's. Came here several times when it was C Lo Cafe and I think it is even better now. I don't know Guatemalan food but I have had several things from the menu and all have been delicious. The carnitas bowl is probably my favorite. And they have great coffee which is huge for me. The staff are really friendly and attentive, and the place is very clean and comfortable. I always leave happy. read more

Favorite breakfast spot in Williamsburg. Order the Guatemalan Traditional with a Turmeric Latte. Service is great, everyone on staff is super welcoming and friendly. If I'm ordering lunch I'll get the Vegan Tacos and Chicken Tortilla Soup. It's never too busy, so I hope more people discover it. Such a gem. read more

Awesome drinks! Watermelon lemonade is my new summer favorite drink! All of the drinks I've had are delicious. The scones are awesome! Banana bread is YUM! Everything is really delicious! My husband and I ate here for the first time since it opened, he had the bbq burger (well, he had two because he thought the first one was so yummy and wanted more!) and I had the Carnitas. Oh emm gee. Best plate of carnitas I've had in my life and I've had a lot of carnitas. Served on a wooden plate, so you could "build your own" tacos with all of the fixin's. So yummy. Everything is really fresh and made with love! The mimosas are strong, hubby had Mango, and I had watermelon. REALLY GOOD! The staff are all wonderful and very sweet and attentive. I absolutely love this place! It's definitely a good addiction.... I mean addition... to the neighborhood! Keep it up, C.Lo! ;) read more

Everything on the menu is fantastic! We have been many times and they never fail to amaze! The service is always good and the atmosphere is very at-home feel. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

This spot is so cute and in the heart of Williamsburg ! I'm sure if I tried more things I could give it a 5 star. I wasn't too hungry so I got the yogurt,fruit, and granola bowl. The yogurt was seriously so delicious, extremely thick. Think cream cheese texture. I shared a scone with my friend and it was really bad, no flavor/dry. They don't make the scones there so it's not their fault. But the drinks and food looked amazing ! Would definitely come back to try more things! read more

The style of the restaurant is so modern and calming. The vibe this place gives off is amazing. They play awesome music, the lighting is perfect. The food is sooooo good. Especially the C.Lo burger. I love when restaurants and cafe's aren't stingy with avocado. The Cold Brew is so refreshing. They have wifi and have outlets all around so you can stay charged. Very customer friendly. Also the staff is very nice. Justine was very welcoming and sweet, and recommended great items from the menu. read more

We wanted to get a quick bite to eat without a wait, and this place was the perfect choice. There was plenty of seating around 3pm. I also really like how brunch is available until 4:00. It's a cute and clean place with a relaxed feel. If you sit at the bar, the countertop is marble(or something like it) which is a nice touch. There are many options on the brunch menu. I enjoyed a michelada and the egg carnitas with pulled pork/home fries. I also got a bite of the burger and chorizo which was also very good. I regret not trying any appetizers or adding any sides. It's safe to say that they do Brunch well here! read more

First of all ... the bacon was $3 for 2 pieces . Let that sink in . The French toast was dry and had zero flavor ......... I didn't even eat it . That was a really underwhelming $30 breakfast ......... never again . The waitress should also try to smile at the customers. read more

Stopped by the other day for coffee and bagels and was pleasantly surprised by both. Great ambiance and friendly staff. Looking forward to coming back and exploring the menu. Pastries looked delicious also. read more

My favorite place to grab a quick cappuccino during the weekdays or brunch on the weekend. Hands down the best group of workers I've ever experienced. Always kind, patient and move with speed. I enjoy supporting places like this that have such great workers! read more

Great restaurant with a simple yet perfectly executed menu. I've only been here for breakfast but I'd be excited to return to try other things. I ordered the Veggie Avocado Bagel that came with mashed avocados, sprouts, cucumber and tomatoes. I added an egg white for a surcharge but it was totally worth it. The sandwich was very substantial yet light at the same time. Delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. Located very close to Grand Station (L). I'd return to try more of the menu! read more

Great little Cafe with excellent Latin food for lunch. I had the CLo Bowl and everything from the rice, beans, meat, and tomatoes was fresh and authentic. read more

Love this place. Just had the churrasco with two sides...plantains and salad. The boyfriend had the fried chicken sandwich, Popeyes has nothing on Claudias. Drinks were perfect, the bartender is serious about her cocktails. Overall a great experience! Loved the signs in the bathroom, and the design in general. read more

This is right around the corner for us and it was a very welcome addition. Their coffee is excellent (we get it here almost every day). The cold brew is extra awesome, but be careful you don't get addicted, the withdrawal in the fall is no joke. The breakfast is also very good. Brunch can get loud (we prefer a quieter brunch) but we're happy that the business seems to be thriving. Everyone who works there is absolutely lovely. I believe it's a family business, and it certainly feels that way. read more
