    THEBESTCHICKENSANDWICHYOUVEEVERHADINYOURLIFE
    April M.

    The wait is definitely worth it for this spot. Both times I've come, there has been one but they will text you once you're ready. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor seating has fans and shade. I actually prefer the outdoor seating as I feel there's more room to move around in. The aesthetic of this place is super duper fun to gaze upon. We got the BestSandwichYou'llEverHaveinYourLife (that's if I got that name right), which was in fact quite delectable. It was spiced well, and appears the be the equivalent of a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The Shroom Chips were tasty- they also came with great spice and are paired well with an optional spritz of lemon and their chipotle aioli. The fries are also seasoned well and are tasty. Definitely worth a stop when you're in Brooklyn for brunch. I do love that they have vegan options- adding vegan bacon to the sandwiches is fun as a person who doesn't eat pork products.

    Great lunch/brunch spot with nice service and home-y feel. Small dining space so it fills up, but worth waiting for a table if you come in at peak dining hours. I came during my lunch break recently on a weekday with friends and got seated right away. Their house roast coffee was really yummy, kind of cinnamon-y. Portions are generous! The Patchen Patty Melt was so, so good, cheesy, spicy, filling. Fries were nicely seasoned and peppery. Great local restaurant.

    This place is really cute . I loved the decor and the service we got here . My issue was the food . So o got the vegan chopped cheese . I thought that maybe the peppers would be cut and the cheese melted into the meat . It wasn't like that . The bread wasn't toasted . I feel if the bread was toasted and the chop cheese was cooked and peppers and onions and cheese into it it would be delicious . The sauce was really nice . And I really loved the fries. The hot cocoa is so good and it's vegan . That's my only qualm . I'm going to come back and try something different and see .

    Petite diner eater with a nostalgic charm. Breakfast, brunch, and lunch items with vegan options. Service is slow and sometimes kitchen expo sends newer guest orders before current. The food is decent, I'll have to try another own because my vegan pancakes were too thick, I prefer thin crispy or flaky cakes. Decent fire local Brooklyn eats on a weekend. Water closet located in rear of kitchen.

    Tried takeout recently, it was delicious! The breakfast platter had the crispiest hash browns and it was nice to get it with mushrooms to complement the peppers in a veg meal. The pancake was so fluffy and not too sweet, it didn't need any syrup though in my opinion. Really generous portions too, I'd try dining in next time but the quality for takeout was great.

    Went to this diner on a Sunday with a friend and had about a 30-minute wait. Thankfully, they have a setup with the coffee shop next door, so we didn't have to stand in the cold. The food was good overall, but I liked my friend's meal more than mine. She had a burger hash with pancakes, which was way more exciting than my basic burger and tater tots. The real star of the show was the milkshake. The peach cobbler milkshake was amazing, and they have some really creative options. I'd definitely recommend this diner. I just think I ordered the wrong thing.

    The diner!!

    Delicious breakfast! I thought the pancake was dry and needed a lot of syrup but everything else we had was great and the service was very kind, and the food came out quickly. The space is a bit small so expect to wait on the weekends.

    I ordered from them again with the same results, the food is good. I always have leftovers because of the portion size.

    Food and drinks were good. Service is a bit slow as there is only one server. The place has a cool neighborhood vibe.

    Fried chicken sandwich and porridge were both so good! The whole place is so nostalgic and unique inside- feels like a 90s bedroom meets the old school New York diner. Portions are worth the price and staff is super nice! Definitely a great spot for friends or family looking for nice brunch.

    Bacon Bacon Egg and Cheese

    Over the years I've lived in Bed-Stuy, this place has seen many changes. Some successes, some failures, but this past Tuesday, my curiosity got the better of me and I made the decision to stop in for breakfast. First of all, breakfast on weekdays needs more love. The experience feels more laid-back and intimate without the weekend brunch chaos. Good Ol Days Diner/Winfield's Diner is spacious and welcoming and has an abundance of natural light. The artwork is a hybrid of a modern Black history museum and a juke joint from the 1970s. Our server was incredibly kind and attentive and we were seated right away. The Bacon Bacon Egg and Cheese was so good. It included "smash browns," a clever combination of hash browns and tater tots that were just mashed enough to resemble a comforting pile of potatoes. I will most certainly return because it's in the neighborhood and the prices are reasonable. I hope this one endures because it has a lot of potential to become a mainstay.

    I needed a spot to have a small celebration for a family members grad party for brunch, and all I knew was that this spot was local/Black owned, it had outdoor space, great service and good food! I hit up the owner and he made this a seamless experience for me. Super communicative, flexible and the prefix menu he developed was perfect! The price was fair and the day went off with out any issues. Shoutout to Jeff and staff at the Good ol' days diner. Go here!!!

    This is everything vegan food should be - creative and satisfying…read more Bold flavors, a thoughtfully curated menu, and ingredients that are allowed to shine. The bowl was packed with flavor and made with some of the best, freshest ingredients. And the mac & cheese? Creamy, delicious, and completely vegan. It lacked absolutely nothing except, you know, the animal products.

    Aunts et Uncles: Vegan food that doesn't need a disclaimer…read more Baby, that loaded baked potato?! One of the best things I've eaten at a vegan restaurant. Period. A strong 9.5/10, and I don't hand those out casually. The peanut butter cauliflower was a close second--absolutely delicious, just a little pricey for the portion. The lasagna was a solid 8/10. Flavorful and hefty despite its lighter ingredients. Unless you're skipping appetizers, prepare for leftovers. Fair warning: it's saucy and doesn't travel particularly well. I also noticed an aftertaste I couldn't quite identify, but nothing that ruined the dish. The mac and cheese? A 6/10 for me. The flavor fell flat, though my dinner companions thought it was decent for vegan food. They also loved their burger and the gorgeous steak-style sandwich with chimichurri and avocado. The sandwich looked delicious, but the portion didn't quite justify the price for me. Now, the sorrel cocktail? A 9/10. Easily. What would make it a 10? A bit more alcohol. I couldn't really taste any. It gave mocktail. My girls did enjoy their wine, though! Service was very warm and friendly, although the packed crowd meant extended waits once we placed our orders. The space is beautiful, cozy, and elevated, but cramped in many areas. Between counter ordering and table service, expect people moving around you. Some patrons could use a gentle reminder that their behinds are not a complimentary side dish. The aesthetics are beautiful, the bathroom was cute and clean, and there's a small outdoor patio out front. They even had a DJ bringing block-party energy during our visit! I could easily see myself returning for breakfast, brunch, or a little café workday. What I love most, though, is the community-centered spirit and how the owners' partnership and love story are woven into the space. My final word: I judge vegan food by the same standards as everything else. No participation trophies just because it's plant-based. My ultimate test? Would I order it again, and would I return to the restaurant? Aunts et Uncles didn't need a vegan consolation prize or watered-down standards. Some dishes could use tweaking, and the portions don't always match the prices, but the standouts absolutely hold their own against non-vegan food. I'm already plotting my return. That loaded potato and I have unfinished business.

    The place has character for sure! Seating inside or out. I arrived early - around 8 - so it was…read morebusy but mostly to-go orders. I'm sure with a later time, it would be busier. I ordered an avocado bagel on seven grain. It was all delicious. There was lettuce and cucumber that was not listed on the menu, but that's ok. The whole thing had a lemony flavor that normally I don't like, but it went well with the other flavors. The egg was over medium, which they didn't ask me how I wanted, but I'm sure they'd change it if you asked. They were very responsive, polite, and quick.

    Cafe Madeline is a fun brunch spot with a cozy atmosphere but it defs can get super busy. If you…read morecan, come early to beat the brunch rush. The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
