    Just got crepes there and they were amazing. got turkey bacon crepe wanting something savory and was expecting a typical underwhelming turkey bacon experience but it was sooooo much better. delicious, covered in confit onions and just the right amount of cheese. partner got a strawberry Nutella crepe and loved it equally. Space was super sure and the staff was handling a very busty restaurant admirably.

    I haven't even finished my meal, but the flavor and the freshness of the food forced me to stop and comment. I'm from Miami, and before I became vegan I loved the flavor profile on Haitian food, like they don't miss. So imagine my joy discovering the Brooklyn has a fly Haitian cafes serving vegan dishes, fresh juices, alcohol and coffee drinks. The show vibes is super cute and the music playlist gives! But the food, baby I did the mushroom sandwich and added some Pikliz, this is goodt! The fresh ginger limeade makes me miss home, Miami, Florida! Shoutout to the women who suggested the order as their most popular vegan dish!
