    Turkey Brie and pear sandwich with a strawberry tea Arnold Palmer

    Great neighborhood coffee and sandwich shop. The service was wonderful, I felt welcomed and encouraged to stay and work while I enjoyed lunch.

    Go to spot for wraps , sandwiches etc. Their chicken Ceasar wrap is the best I've had ever. Litterally everything from this place is incredible and consistently excellent.

    Avocado Toast Matcha Latte

    I have been on a quest of trying all the hidden gem cafes around my neighborhood, and I may have just hit the jackpot with this beautiful space. As soon as you walk in to Slimak, the wood floors and sun filled space welcomes you with a warm embrace. There is so much space to set up and sit with your laptop if you wanted to. The baristas and staff are all so friendly. I ordered myself the matcha latte and avocado toast and perched myself up on the bar seating. The iced matcha latte was A-ok, maybe a better job can be done frothing it as it was settling on the bottom in small grains. The avocado toast was delicious with pistachio pesto, fresh tomatoes and a delicious runny egg on top. I do wish there was more avocado on the toast, and that the bread was a bit thicker and more substantial. Other than these slight improvements I found the place cute and charming and will definitely be back to try their other menu items or baked goods. Great little neighborhood cafe!!

    Slimak offers many breakfast, brunch, and lunch items. They also have specials during the weekend. Coffee and pastries are quick, easy, and tasty. Order by the bar and grab a seat in their cozy seating areas at the front and in the back. There are a couple of seats by the bar as well.

    Went for Sunday brunch around 11am. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were some seats open but it was pretty packed for the most part.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love this cafe! Definitely worth a visit if you're in/from the area.

    Spending time in Industry City today and decided to eat outside of IC food hall. I've passed Slimsk numerous times on s bus and bookmarked it. I was in the mood for comfort food on a rainy day and planned to visit IC to do some shopping. Slimak*is on off the beaten path, next to the beautiful Saint Nicholas Church which I can imagine it being busy on a Sunday morning. When I entered, it was quiet with a few patrons dining and tapping away on their laptops. There is instructions to step up to the counter, order and then find a seat. I knew what I wanted: egg white omelet with cheddar and spinach, salad instead of toast and home fries and a cup of coffee. I served myself complimentary water from the jug and found a table. Once seated, I sipped my water and made an IC shopping list .My order arrived within ten minutes, just the omelet. The waitress apologized that their coffee machine was broken and asked if an Americano was okay to make instead. Absolutely! My omelet looked delicious but the only thing missing was the home fries. I guess the way I ordered was lost in translation ( at first they asked me to repeat it since they thought I said waffles vs no toast). Healthy Fawn voice said " it's better without home fries " and won over cheating Fawn voice ( tell them the home fries are missing!). The salad had zucchini ( yum), tomatoes, carrots and lettuce with a side of delicious balsamic vinegar. The omelet was absolutely scrumptious and fresh. Slimak offers numerous options: breakfast all day, soups, salads and desserts. The service is very friendly and accommodating. I have a new place to dine at when visiting IC and am happy I discovered this gem. * Aah you noticed. Slimak is Polish for small snail. Interesting...

    Chicken poblano soup
    Marc K.

    Nice healthy neighborhood joint. Very relaxing and down to earth. Stopped in for soup as they had a few choices. The chicken poblano soup was delicious. Would prefer the bowl size to be a little bigger but it was big on taste! Order at register and they bring it to you. Will definitely visit again.

    2 poached eggs with sautéed kale & avocado
    Marie S.

    Slimak is the place to go for a five star brunch. It doesn't get any better than this. I tried the Sautéed Kale with Avocado and 2 Poached Eggs last week. It came with a seven grain toast; it was really really fresh & delicious. Better than the recent brunches I've had in Manhattan & a lot less expensive too. Traveling around Brooklyn, I've been highly impressed by the diversity & quality of the food. I think you can find great restaurants in many neighborhoods but when it comes to value, I'm discovering that areas like Sunset Park in Brooklyn, Harlem in Manhattan, and Flushing & Jackson Heights Queens are where I'm going to more & more. Blame inflation, boredom, post pandemic cabin fever or the moon but I'm happy to travel for a great affordable meal.

What began as a search for easy access to high-quality meets, led to my discovery of this butcher. One of the big drawers of patronizing their business is the partnerships they have with sustainable farmers. And you can tell the quality is there. I've had some of the best cuts of meat ever from here (especially their bacon). Some of the items I've received have been: pork loins A half chicken (I wish they left the innards ) Lamb sausage Chorizo (7.5/10) Rib eyes Beef tenderloin (my favorite) Bacons (also my favorite) Spicy chili French butter Mushroom seasoning/rub Bauvette Terrine Prepackaged sausage links (my least favorite, especially the ones with cheese inside) Chicken salad Ham hock And more I would really like to continue this membership, however I'm currently ordering the Deluxe Box (the higher tier) and I'm considering downgrading or pausing because it's definitely a lot to cook over the month. I wish there was an option to select what you want in the box, even if it were the animal, as I LOVE their ground beef and most of their beef products, but don't particularly love some of the sausages and ham items. Also, I believe the membership is advertised as to having monthly recipes, notes and ideas for each of the cuts of meat, but I have yet to see those. Also, I haven't received any priority access to in-shop events or special offers as advertised. Overall, if you or someone you know loves high quality meats and cooking, this is an excellent idea for them.

They'll gladly explain what you need, especially when it comes to the super tasty (and extremely inexpensive) deserts that populate racks and the drink fridges here. Some are sweet, some are sour (the deserts, that is), they'll let you know. Honesty since a cake here is $5, you can afford to try everything! How on to the main reason that you came, the Banh Mi. You literally can't go wrong with any of the eight main sandwiches here. I've tried them all so you don't have to, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't.

It's exactly what I want in a takeout type place. They concentrate on the food. So, to wrap this one up. Go. I'd say that I'll be back, but I've been coming here for years.

The food: Roast Pork Special- Fried Eggplant, Provolone, Broccoli Rob- The texture of the pork came off a bit dry, the eggplant was good but kinda gets lost in the sandwich so if I literally had it on it's own I would have appreciated it more but who eats fried eggplant by itself? The rob was nice it added a nice crunch but didn't offer that much flavor. Giuseppe Special- Eggplant parm, meatballs, melted mozzarella. I couldn't get over how soggy the bread was. It was like wet paper towel to me. Soggy bread and everything kinda tasting the same made it underwhelming. Nicky Special- It just tasted like salad in between bread. There was so much veg, that was the main thing I remember in that sandwich.

Allow me to put it in perspective, this is gas station food on steroids. Located in Red Hook (and all it takes is to go outside and see you are in Red Hook), this nondescript bodega serves up one heck of a sandwich that will have you thinking, did I just eat that? This is not your ordinary New York bodega, this is the shop of General Ock, who sells various sandwiches in his renowned Ocky Way. So what is the Ocky Way? The Ocky Way is not just a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and onions, it is also about presentation and style. The sandwich is made loudly with a flair for the dramatic, from the time your food hits the flat top to when it is center cut and put in a clamshell container. What about the food? It really is pretty good! I got the Chopped Cheese the Ocky Way and it was something I really enjoyed. I recommend you get it with the Jamaican Patty as that is what makes the flavors work best. You can also do it with a waffle or pancake or whatever bread you like. All you have to do is scarf it down. You can also put your own toppings on your sandwich if you want for an extra premium à la Farmer in the Deli style. Farmer in the Deli is another well known bodega in Fort Greene, known for finely chopping their meat into a sandwich, one I highly recommend as well. Even after writing this review, I still cannot believe what I ate here. Before I finish this review, I have to say one more thing. Neva neva neva forget to get a drink with your order!

Great recommendation for meat-fanatics. It's a packed mouthful with exciting textures and savory goodness. I actually really enjoyed this one even after I let it sit out a couple of hours. The textures seemingly got even more distinguished. Lastly, the empanadas are amazing as well. Their fillings are completely full--no room for disappointment. This commute is an hour-long one way for me, and I would do it every time. Great place that proves Sunset Park has phenomenal food.
