    Coming to this diner was a nod to my mom; her name's Tina and she used to love eating breakfast at local diners! So coming here was a treat already! The place has an old school feel to it, which I absolutely love! When I step into a diner, I want that classic 70s aesthetic with random framed pictures of old newspaper clippings and such! You know ow it's gonna be good! And sure enough, this place was excellent! Hearty, delicious breakfast was served by hard-working, attentive employees, that carried a smile the whole time! Needless to say, we'll definitely be back soon!

    Chicken and waffles

    I went to this place to eat some breakfast yesterday. I ordered the chicken tenders and waffles and they tasted great. The waffles tasted like buttermilk and the chicken tenders were well deep fried as well. This is definitely a good place to dine in!

    Tina's Place is an unassuming spot in Bushwick, bordering East Williamsburg. It is the perfect diner because it doesn't try to be anything it isn't. Very traditional, run by the same family for a looong time, and very delicious. I visited on a Sunday morning and it was packed before 10:30! They have a deal for a free coffee before 11am which could explain why. To me, the waffle menu didn't seem very exciting but we ordered the california (?) omelet and the blueberry pancakes. The omelet was really tasty, but it isn't a huge portion. Luckily, they had hot sauce out to go with it. There's also something about getting toasted white bread with butter that is surprisingly good. The blueberry pancakes were also good! Very classic, nothing fancy about it. Unfortunately I have a pretentious preference for fresh maple syrup, but I won't knock any stars off for a lack of finesse. The prices were really fair and it felt like you were going to a local spot which can be hard to find in this area. This is an easy five stars, and I will certainly visit again.

    Corned beef hash plate with over easy eggs

    This place has the feel of an old school diner. No frills diner with good food. Corned beef had seemed like it was from a can but still good. Potatoes cooked with onions, bell pepper, and a tomato sauce need salt but that was a minor fix Servers were very attentive and did well. Not bad for the most important meal of the day.

    When you think of a NY Cade, this is exactly what you get. Busy, fast service, typical cafe food, reasonable prices. Despite the hustle and bustle we found a table prettt quickly and got assisted right away. Can't complain about the food, very homemade and tastes like cafe food should taste. I'd go back, just felt like a normal place locals go to eat.

    Awesome diner that's been in Bushwick for over 80 years! It's a great spot for classic breakfast items and remains cash only. There is an ATM and they now have outdoor street seating. If you're hungry and don't want to spend a lot Tina's is a great spot to stop by.

    Meatloaf breakfast platter

    I didn't think much of the diner when I saw the pictures of the food and the interior but was curious about the high ratings. The breakfast was surprisingly great. The potatoes were well seasoned and golden, eggs over easy was runny, and the meatloaf was flavorful. I don't believe they serve free coffee before 11am anymore as I don't see it on the menu. I paid $1.50 for coffee and $11.50 for the meatball platter. Cash only establishment. Would definitely be back!

    French toast and bacon
    Philip L.

    Food - the food was good the French toast was very tasty. I can taste the sweetness of it without any maple syrup added yet. The vanilla taste was there and hint of cinnamon which I like. The bacon was alright nothing crazy about it. The French fries were a let down as it was crispy and soft inside it was also flavorless I had to add a lot of salt to make it better. Overall do get the French toast it is worth it!! Service - the service was great. I felt invited as soon as I walked in I was greeted right away and told to sit anywhere. The server got me coffee real quick and got my order within 5 mins of sitting down. Food came out quick too. Scenery - the place is very classic vibes almost everything inside is made out of wood. The vibe I felt was welcoming and cozy. It was very hot in there since I was sweating a bit. But I did enjoy eating and chatting in there. Price - the price was amazing the whole made for me and my girlfriend was $33.50 before tip of course. For the food and service from this place it's worth every penny. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the neighborhood. Overall 4.2/5

    The Basic Meat
    Kait M.

    Very classic diner. Love the wall to wall wood paneling for a retro feel. Big portions for low prices and very fast service. I got "The Basic Meat" with eggs over medium and bacon and it came just how I like it. I see why it's a neighborhood staple!

    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.
