Price: Entrees range between $9.00 and $16.00.
Menu: Old-fashioned brunch classics mixed with seasonal twists (see: the Crabcake Benedict). Local’s favor the vast selection of vegetarian goodies be it “Organic Tofu and Potatoes” or “Green Eggs No Ham.” Jewzy, sugar-seekers will be lured by the infamous “Challah French Toast” served crispy and topped with homemade cranberry-pecan buttah.
Things we Liked: Quick and friendly service, warm and inviting lighting, fast and free Internet. The sage and gruyere omelet was the most beautifully presented piece of food we’ve seen in awhile, hands down. Also: the pumpkin cast-iron waffle the fact that they allowed us to sit idly at our table well after we finished eating, marshmallow topped hot chocolate, BYOB. The birth of magic realism.
Things we didn’t like: 30 minute wait, how full we felt when we left, trek to Greenpoint, BYOB.
Overall Bruncheon Rating: 8.0 This Greenpoint cafe is a favorite among locals. The menu provides a full breadth of brunching options appealing to the light breakfast eater to the serious brunch aficionado. The friendly staff, speedy service, and delicious food were a hit all around. The BYOB factor is both a curse and a blessing. On the one hand it makes brunch more affordable, but the mimosa and bloody mary loving crowd would definitely be disappointed. So, if you are sufficiently hung over and can spare the booze, Brooklyn Label will nurse you back to life with amazing food and cozy atmosphere.
