    Kimchi Fried Rice
    Julia H.

    Cute spot to work remotely from! It was the perfect amount of sunlight to shade so my eyes didn't feel strained haha. Opted for the kimchi fried rice and a flat white. The rice was fine- I do wish It had some type of unique take on it (maybe spam or bacon or even mozzarella) but it was great portion sizes. Big fan of the coffee and will probably come back just for it- they roast it in house and it's clear that they take their coffee seriously!

    LOX bagel

    First stop in New York and I am very pleased! I heard New York's got the best bagels over Cali & I agree! I got the LOX bagel and breakfast wrap with bacon. Drinks: Hot Honey Latte Cold brew with Carmel (AMAZING)

    Gluten free tacos and gluteny sandwiches!  Eggs are always good!
    Raymond B.

    It looks like a bar but breakfast was gluten free and tasty! Strong coffee, breakfast tacos and a bright window. I'll be back

    Cheddar and chive scone
    Avanti J.

    I'm always on the hunt for great cafes to work at, and I really enjoyed Nostrand. I had a chai and a cheddar chive biscuit and they were both great. There's also a fairly extensive food menu available. There is wifi available and plenty of seating, but did not see many outlets! Overall a great spot for breakfast or an afternoon coffee.

    Bibimbap with Kimchi
    Tommi A.

    Absolutely darling place! Has seating by the windows as well as a large cute picnic type table in the center of the floor. (Heads up, right now they're allowing 1 hour indoor seating) I ordered a Bibimbap with Kimchi and it was delicious. It was the perfect portion size and everything came out hot and just right. The hot sauce on the side was the perfect compliment! I only gave four stars because the smoothie (blueberry and banana w oat milk) was a little odd tasting. I'm not sure if maybe because it wasn't very cold, or if it was the ingredients, but I didn't enjoy it very much. Over all, I would definitely return and try some coffee options and definitely more food!

    Bulgogi Platter with Beef
    Shana P.

    A solid 3.5 stars. Nostrand Cafe is footsteps away from where I grew up. Although I no longer live right around the corner it's still relatively easy for me to get to. The bulgogi bowl with beef, egg, avocado was tasty. The beef had a lot of flavor. The egg was cooked pretty hard. It would have been great to have a runny yolk which would have created a bit of a sauce and nicely coated the other ingredients. As it was, the dish as a whole was a bit dry. The tacos were fine but nothing I would I rush to order again. The space is very nice. There is a lot of natural light and I like the communal dining style with wood benches. I'm glad they're offering pick-up but I'm looking forward to when they open again. I would give Nostrand Cafe another shot because they were just shy of 4-stars for me. Next time I'll order breakfast because I hear their breakfast bowls are where it's at.

    Kimchi and Kimchi Omelet With Bulgogi
    Michelle C.

    I went here solely for the kimchi omelette. Sadly, there wasn't enough flavor to this kimchi and the omelette was more like a lazy scramble. The side of bulgogi had good flavor. The potatoes could have been cooked a bit more to have more texture and crunch.

    BLT Breakfast Sandwich & Strawberry Banana Smoothie for good measure
    Sara K.

    No outlets but delicious sandwiches! Sweet coffee cafe but with terrible parking, so good luck there. We came here to journal and do about an hour's worth of work in the morning. The cafe is small enough to wear there will most likely always be 1-2 people within view but large enough with enough seating to find privacy. I'd recommend but again, no outlets!

    Came with a group as a walk-in during the World Cup games, it only took five minutes to be seated…read more Very lovely interior and great decor! The food was good according to all guests, including the ones who recommended we eat here as it is one of their go-to place

    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.

Bummer because we were excited for this place and came a long way for it. We then ordered a couple things to go and while waiting outside, the owner comes out with a table and allowed us to dine outdoors. They even brought out a bowl of water for our dog! A wonderful gesture and I don't know how often they do this but we really appreciated it. The tortilla soup was so amazing - they nailed both the savory and sourness of it and even the soggy tortillas in the soup were really good! I had the steak breakfast burrito which was incredibly filling and the chorizo and avocado eggs Benedict were fantastic! We don't come down to Park Slope that much but I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for specifically a Mexican brunch spot!

I don't love chorizo that much but I got the chorizo Benedict and this is definitely the best chorizo I've ever had. The tortilla soup was also so good.
