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
Emily C.

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.

Many thanks .... Found a genuine coffee shop in the local area .. Coming from abroad it was welcomed ... Great coffee and food and the service was second to none .... On my return visit I was welcomed with so how is NYC .... No problem in recommending Nostrand Coffee to anyone ....

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!

So for years, I've been grabbing friends by the scruff of their neck as they try to walk into Starbucks, and dragging them into D'Amico. Not on my watch. I bring them over, and watch as their eyes widen in wonder. I watched her marvel over the machine mixing and roasting beans in the back of the shop (used to be in the front). I watch them peruse all the options, finally picking a blend (organic, fair trade Sumatra maybe, or French Costa Rican). I listen as they and the helpful coffee guy discuss the type of coffee machine they have, and watch him grind the beans into a bag specifically for them. And then I allowed them to kiss my ring for showing them where they SHOULD be buying coffee. For the past decade or so, we've also been gifting a bag of coffee to a lot of our loved ones, because it's a useful gift that everyone can appreciate. You can do this too, and you don't even need to give me credit for the idea.

They have other great delights here but my focus is this particular pastry!!!!! The customer service here is very polite and sweet ....like the pastryThe pastry ( Kouign-Amann) is stuff with caramel my absolute favvvvvvv!!! Usually they are not stuffed, the pastry..... Also they sell out of the (Kouign-Amann) by mid morning ( like around 11am GET THERE EARLY.....so I think the best time would be early morning..... This place gets lightly crowded so seats may be scarce... This place is great to have a sip of coffee and a snack and great conversation. The space is sweet and looks like a great workspace.

This is a really cute café that has gorgeous leather furniture, lighting fixtures, and cool plants everywhere, very modern looking. The music they play here is great too. I was a little disappointed to see that their food menu was quite limited, and by that time of day, there was really only one savory option that stood out to me, the Parmesan and leek pastry. I ordered this and had the barista heated up for me, as well as print out a receipt because this is how you access the Wi-Fi. I sat in the corner along the wall on a wooden bench and attempted to do work on one of the small metal tables. The tables are quite low, so this really isn't a great place to get a ton of work done in my opinion, as well as the fact that the Wi-Fi only works for 30 minutes and after that, you need to go back up and get another receipt for a code. I was also a little disappointed in the pastry itself, as it wasn't fully heated and was a little too greasy for me. I can't speak on the coffee here, but it did look like they provide high-quality options. Vibes and aesthetic are high but I can't say I'd come here again.

Like, we-think-you-don't-have-a-day-job kind of late. Noon-ish. On a Tuesday. I don't know who their target demographic is, but it's not anyone with a functioning calendar. When you do manage to show up during their elusive open hours, you're greeted by... well, "greeted" is generous. The staff makes you feel like you interrupted their private cheese cult meeting. Don't expect warm conversation -- unless you're the cheddar. There are free samples, which I respect. If you're feeling broke and brave, you could turn it into a little snack crawl. And the cheese? It's fine. Not bad. Not transcendent. Just... cheese. Maybe you'll find something aged and interesting, or maybe you'll walk out wondering if Trader Joe's would've hit the same for less.

My boyfriend and I have been on a quest to introduce his mother to as many new cultures through…read morefood as we can when she visits us in Brooklyn. Last night we decided it was time she try Korean food, and specifically he wanted to choose a Bib Gourmand restaurant. We booked this reservation the same day, and watched spots get taken as we booked on the website! Street parking wasn't hard to find and we were greeted and seated immediately. We loved the calming atmosphere inside and had a table with a view of everything. After offering us water, we decided on drinks. I ordered the Velvet Reviver, which was described as an espresso martini meets a White Russian. It was delicious and almost like a dessert drink. My boyfriend ordered The Squid & The Whale which grew on all of us, especially paired with our food. To start, we shared the Yache pajun (vegetable scallion pancakes) and the Dukboki fundido (a Mexican inspired spicy, hot, cheesy dip with my favorite chewy Korean rice cakes inside). The scallion pancakes were delicious and had much more texture than once I have tried in the past, paired with a perfect vinegary sauce you can spoon on top. We all loved the dip and it was the perfect amount of spicy and comforting chewiness. I then was recommended a white wine to pair with the appetizer I chose as my entree, the Yeoneo. Each slice of salmon was incredibly fresh, and they were very generous with the amount of row that was served as well. The greens and avocado slices were great as well to add more texture. My boyfriend then ordered a yummy beer and the Daegu jorim. We absolutely adored this dish and noted that the cod had perfect structure to it, that almost mimic that of the deliciously cooked radishes in this dish. His mother ordered the ultimate comfort dish of the night, the Kalbi jjim (with no jalapeños). We were in awe at how the meat fell apart due to how tender it was. If you like melt in your mouth beef and stew like dishes, this is the dish for you. Our food was served with some banchan: amazing kimchi, myeolchi bokkeum (dried anchovies, much more mild than you'd expect), and kongjang (soy beans, also mild and with more chew than a typical edamame you might expect). We absolutely loved our dinner here and how helpful and kind the weight staff was, explaining different dishes and flavors, and clearing and switching out our plates at every turn.

As frequent KBBQ eaters, my boyfriend and I decided it was time to try a more refined take on…read moreKorean dining. Since I was staying in Brooklyn for work, Haenyeo was an easy choice for a date night dinner. We went on a Thursday evening around 8pm. We didn't have a reservation but were seated immediately without a wait. The restaurant was fairly busy; if you're planning ahead I would consider making a reservation. We started with an order of the Japchae. Then we ordered the Bibimbop with chicken and the Bulgogi. The Japchae was underwhelming. Not a strong flavor profile, leaned sort of bland. The entrees were much better. The rice in the Bibimbop had a really yummy crispy layer. When all mixed together, it's a great melody of flavors and textures. The Bulgogi was equally enjoyable. Definitely recommend the red spicy sauce it comes with. We shared both entrees among 2 people and felt the portions sizes were decent - neither left hungry. The service was okay. We didn't seem to have a dedicated server. It felt like all the wait staff takes care of everyone simultaneously? Everyone was friendly; there was just a long wait for someone to come for our food order. If you're looking for an authentic experience with Korean food, this may be the spot for you.
