They serve food that meets a higher standard. The food quality is consistent across the menu with fair pricing. Restaurant workers provide acceptable attention. Their flavor pairings show culinary creativity. Absolute marks.

Food solid service trash, Order always messed up and they get mad at me like I’m the one in the kitchen. Oh and don’t bring a computer there no computers allowed.

I want to like this place the food is genuinely good but the service is unbelievably slow and disorganized.

I ordered ahead on DoorDash for pickup, expecting an in and out experience. Instead, I waited 40 minutes for a simple bacon and egg sandwich and a hot latte. It wasn’t even busy when I arrived. One staff member told me it’d be “five minutes.” Ten minutes later, I asked again, and still nothing. Meanwhile, I could hear the kitchen bell ringing multiple times because orders were ready yet the staff seemed completely disengaged.

When someone finally brought out a bunch of food, I stood right in front of the girl I had just spoken to and she didn’t even bother checking if one was mine. No acknowledgment, no urgency, nothing. I had to ask again about my order, only to be told it wasn’t ready. Five minutes later, she hands it to me my “hot” coffee already bagged and wrapped in plastic, sitting there getting cold.

No one offered to bring me my drink while I waited. No one checked the order queue. The kitchen staff clearly knows what they’re doing, but the front-of-house team seems lost. It honestly felt like a bunch of kids with no management or direction.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had this issue here, even when ordering ahead. It’s a slow,, and completely unbothered service. Expect to spend at least an hour waiting for food, even for the simplest order.

The food deserves five stars, but the staff drags the entire experience down to one.

The name originates from it's restaurant Brown Butter and they defined the food of Brooklyn Bed Stuy culture on a plate! Happily I expected the service, taste and quality to be the best --believe me, it was! The ice cream is creamy, flavors are strong in taste, the themes are on trend, and the choices are endless. My favorite so far has to be the brown sugar cinnamon, white chocolate rose, mango sorbet, pistachio, berry, smurfs, strawberry cream, chocolate, peaches and cream. And the hook is I will be inviting my celebrity friends!

This is the place I always bring out-of-towners because everyone really must experience the biscuits. I’d never dined in here before but recently I did with some friends and it was a lovely experience. It had rained earlier but the weather was nice again and we wanted to sit outside — a couple of us have chronic illnesses and prefer to be more covid-safe by eating outdoors. We asked for some paper towels to wipe down the seats, expecting to wipe them down ourselves since this isn’t a table service type of place. The worker who helped us went above and beyond wiping the seats down. She absolutely did not have to do that and more than earned her 30% tip. The backyard is lovely, I’m so glad I decided to dine in.

Used to love this place say a handful of years ago. Not so much now upon returning

The food was ok …. They use a thick piece of iceberg lettuce and tomato on the breakfast sandwich…. It tasted odd …. Iceberg lettuce is for a burger not a breakfast sandwich and the biscuit was dryer than Popeyes just ew. Nobody was in there when I went no wonder.

We went an hour before closing, which I understand the staff cleaning and getting everything ready. However, it was extremely hot in the shop. Once the food came to us, it was cold and so soggy. Specifically, the fried chicken, it was even a little pink inside. Overall, we felt extremely disappointed in the food.

The crab cake biscuit sandwich was absolutely delectable — well worth the extra wait since it’s made to order. The biscuit had the perfect texture with pillowed layers that held everything together beautifully. And those roasted potatoes with the sweet potatoes mixed in? Baybe… a party in your mouth you didn’t even know you needed. My only regret? Not grabbing a plain biscuit on the side to enjoy with some butter and fresh preserves. I’ll definitely be back for that!

Ive only ordered through doordash twice - first time i got the avocado toast which i loved no complaints. Today i got the bacon and egg biscuit which is odd to me that they dont include cheese in it and have an option of no cheese for those who dont want it….. biscuit was good though - But what really got me is i payed $7 for an iced cappuccino with brown butter syrup that 1. They charge you to make it a cappuccino and 2. The large cup was half full ….. if i ordered an iced coffee for $7 why is the cup half full? It also tasted not good at all - my dunkin tastes better than this. I expected so much more ….. (i took one sip to try before i attached the picture posted but im not exaggerating on the cup half full) . In total i spent $21 - not worth it.

The food was… an experience. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a biscuit and somehow ended up with just a biscuit and an egg. No cheese. No bacon. I don’t know if they thought the “and cheese” was optional or if the bacon took the day off, but it never made it to my plate.

I also ordered roasted potatoes, and the description said nothing about sweet potatoes being mixed in. Surprise! There they were. What if I was allergic? That would have been the worst plot twist of the day.

The only part of the meal that actually made me happy was the banana walnut slice. That was the star of the show. The biscuit itself was decent, but the egg… well, it was just an egg, and not the one I asked for.

Overall, 2 out of 5 stars. Follow the directions, Brown Butter. This is breakfast, not a mystery box challenge.
