re: "you're gonna get looks if you aren't a lighter shade of pale." That comment is both outrageous and completely untrue. I work at this place and I am in no way racist or elitest, nor are any of my co-workers or our regulars. I am white. I live and work in Bushwick and have a number of Dominican and Puerto Rican friends in the neighborhood. For the most part, we all get along and respect each other. Why the continued perpetuation of racism surrounding "whites" in the neighborhood? Also, we're not "too-cool-for-bedford-ave", most of us just can't afford to live there.

I had brunch there once, and it was amazing.

Its a major hipster-we're-too-cool-for-bedford-ave hang out, but the breakfast is the best I've had in Williamsburg. If you can deal with the elitist attitude of the crowd, you will enjoy the food.

i really wanted to like this place more because its close to home and it's got good ambiance, but everything i've gotten has always cooked to a crisp (bet you that bread is crouton hard) and it's bullshit pricey for nothing special. it falls at the 3rd or 4th choice when i want to eat out without having to get on a train or bike.

Do they serve locals? Or just transplants?

Its a good place I'm surprised its still open, nice to see it surviving after 2+ years though yeah if you dont live in north brooklyn there is really no point to go there unless you are visiting around the area for another reason as well

umm what is that a picture of? Oh yeah, that really makes me want to run right out to BUSHWICK and try this place out. (You are actually probably doing this place a dis-service by running this).

this gothamist feature almost always has bad photos. first picture, which I suppose is to give a sense of the ambiance, just makes the place look dark, which i guess it is. the second? looks like a sub with a salad in bad lighting. not sure what the purpose of that is, it certainly doesn't give much of a sense of the food.
