    Pretty good spot! This is my second time having Georgian food and my boyfriend and I were pretty obviously not Georgian so our server was super patient with us and explained how to properly eat the food. I wish I remembered the names of what we got but we got the dumplings and the cheese boat. Both were great, but also pretty filling. The dumplings were HUGE, almost the size of my palm and I couldn't eat more than one. The cheese bread boat was delicious but definitely would not be able to eat it alone. Recommend sharing it with one or two other friends. Also this place sometimes doesn't accept card so bring cash just in case!

    I had a ukrainian friend recommend this place and it did not disappoint! The dumplings were awesome and massive, though I prefer a thinner skin. The breads were delicious and everything was unique. I've never had Georgian food before, but I am now a fan of it! Get that cheesy bread and ask for other recommendations. I'll have to be back and try the other things.

    Generally good and tasty Georgian food. Best to go with a group of people with whom you can share everything. Their pear flavored soda is a large bottle best shared with others, but it's also very sweet. We couldn't finish it. Best to sit indoors because the outdoor seating is on the street with high and fast traffic. Someone trying to park their car also bumped into the shed we were eating in and rocked the whole structure. It felt very dangerous to eat out there. We were also exposed to lots of smokers while eating outdoors, so it made the dining less enjoyable. Our waiter was very pleasant and attentive. He came out to check on us often and got us everything we asked for. Good service.

    Only one couple was dining in on a cold Saturday afternoon. After 5pm, the cafe filled with customers representing an older demographic of Georgians & Eastern Europeans. A line to the bakery, adjacent to the cafe, to purchase fresh bread. Simple, casual decor in the cafe. Chill Georgian music playing in the background. Our waitress was accommodating, food was brought out quickly. Adjaruli khachapuri $12/$15 small/large, was the best adjaruli khachapuri I've ever had. Plenty of gooey cheese, fresh and delectable bread, great ratio of cheese to bread. Very filling--split this and you both will be full for the rest of the day. Sad that they no longer do the Yelp check in promotion. Taking off stars for the smelly bathroom. Staff smoke in there, and I though I'd suffocate from spending a few minutes in that tiny place. I started going dizzy from how heavily fumed it was. I reeked of cigarette smoke the whole day afterwards. How hard is it to take a smoke outside, in the fresh air?

    Overall I enjoyed the food here and thought it was very authentic. Our waiter didn't speak much English, which was fine, but I also couldn't find him half the time. We ordered this garlic chicken dish at his recommendation-- the sauce was delicious but the chicken was a tad dry. I liked their soup dumplings, which provided that perfect comfort food feel on a rainy day. Salad was fresh. We tried the cheese bread, I thought it was alright but a bit salty (all the dishes were a tad salty, actually) and heavy (but it'll definitely fill you up!).

    I've had the khachapuri here before, but on this occasion, our megruli khachapuri tasted distinctively like a souped-up Dominoes pie, in the best way possible. A bit on the heavy side for a summer day, but thankfully accompanied by ocean breeze. The sour cherry juice was amazing - overly sweet, but somehow with a highly addictive tartness as well. Service is quite slow, so don't come here in a rush. The music was also "eclectic," consisting of slow jam remixes of Radiohead and other intriguing melanges...

    The chatbostnili (a cold eggplant dish) was our favorite. It's so full of amazing flavor and goes well with the baked pies. The mushroom cheese called solo ketze was also very good. I usually don't eat meat but the chicken on the hot plate was not bad and pretty tender. The meat dumpling was too meaty for me.

    Khinkali with pork
    Kathleen S.

    This was, remarkably, my first time having a proper sit-down Georgian meal since I visited Tbilisi four years ago. This highly anticipated meal at Tone Cafe more than lived up to my expectations. We ordered the pkhali trio and a half serving of bread to start, as well as the khinkali dumplings with pork. By checking into Yelp, we also got a complimentary small khachapuri bread. Our order was more than enough for two people. The phkali trio, which comes with spinach, green bean, and eggplant mixes with ground walnuts and spices, was absolutely delicious. The fresh parsley and pomegranate seed toppings made all the difference. Eaten as a spread with the warm bread, the phkali have a nice heft that for one person could easily be a meal. We thoroughly enjoyed the khinkali dumplings. Our waitress helpfully suggested pork, rather than lamb, as the filling. Indeed, the pork broth was very flavorful. She also suggested that we eat the dumplings with our hands and biting into it carefully so as to not squirt the broth all over. Though larger and spiced more strongly, these were reminiscent of Shanghainese pork dumplings. We would happily return to Tone Cafe to try more dishes. Service was great and the ambience simple but lovely.

    Khinkali - thick dough. Juicy but very little meat

    Review is for pickup/take out. Food was opened and tasted 20 mins after pickup lamb Shashlik/kebab was pretty dry and was not cooked on charcoal or wood. It shouldnt be called shashlik if it is cooked on a gas or electric grill. Lamb 'shashlik' is 4/10 Adjaruly is questionable at best. I asked my adjaruly with 'two egg yolks'. You can see what we got. One egg was completely cooked and second one was half way cooked. Dough is sub par, not crinchy or airy as it should be This adjaruly is 3/10 at best. Khinkali is 5/10

    Authentic Georgian cuisine in Brighton Beach area. Worth the trip! The cheese bread is delicious and rightly popular.

    This place definitely lives up to the hype! The food here is amazing, and when I say food, I mean…read moremore than just the baked goods. Starting off with the baked goods, the brown butter corn cake may be the single best pastry I've had in my life. It has a great crispy exterior and a super moist and decadent interior that just makes it the best pastry you could ever ask for. I also think they have one of the best chocolate chip cookies in the city, and their cinnamon roll is light yet executed perfectly. In addition to their pastries, their sandwiches are amazing. My favorite is this chili crisp tofu sandwich. It is packed with great flavor, perfectly tender tofu, and is layered between two pieces of delicious bread. I also love their arugula burrata prosciutto sandwich that is paired so nicely with their focaccia, making each bite the ultimate experience. While I've never waited in a really long line, I can say that they do move pretty efficiently. Unfortunately, there isn't much room to eat inside, but on a nice day, if you can grab a table outdoors, it's a great experience in the lovely Greenpoint neighborhood.

Sandwiches include rosemary butter and ham, tuna fish, roast beef, burrata and prosciutto, and more. We tried the roast beef with chimichurri, a blueberry pastry, and pistachio croissant. All three items were high quality and delicious! Items are a bit pricey (those three items totaled about $37), but the quality definitely justifies the prices. All of the baked goods were beautiful and looked perfect. If you are in Greenpoint, I would recommend you stop by this bakery. Service: Staff are extremely friendly, pleasant, and welcoming. I was still deciding when it was my turn in line, and all staff members were patient and encouraged me to take my time. Ambiance: The bakery is small with about four counter seats along the window, but there are plenty of tables and chairs set up outside. There's nothing special about the ambiance, but it's a nice place to hang out and enjoy your sandwich or pastry. Overall, I would highly recommend this bakery!

Even though there is a line, you do not feel rushed or pressured to order quickly. On this visit we ordered plain croissant, chocolate croissant-fresh out of the oven, rhubarb croissant, black forest pastry and brown butter corn cake. The chocolate croissant was amazing. It is triple chocolate and cocoa powder is in the dough. It is filled with milk and dark chocolate, so creamy. The plain croissant was flaky and light. The brown butter corn cake was crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and moist. The Black Forest croissant is a seasonal offering. It is made with their Triple Chocolate Croissant filled with chocolate cake and sour cherries and topped with mascarpone cream , Rhubarb & Custard Croissant . It is tart and sweet. The rhubarb is roasted and complimented with sweet vanilla custard. They all were excellent. Each were about $8. Highly recommend and don't let the line deter you .

I tried their sandwiches--the focaccia with prosciutto and burrata was my favorite, while the ham and rosemary butter sandwich wasn't my favorite because of the ham's texture. I also ordered the cherry cheesecake, which was good but a bit too tart for my taste, and the peanut butter and jelly croissant, which was very good. My favorite, however, was the pistachio croissant. Their croissants are excellent, and I would definitely recommend this bakery.
