Best Cafés in Bushwick

I ate here last night and last week and couldn’t be happier that we now have a Ruby’s in Williamsburg. I really love the vibe of this location, especially the back room. The food was delicious, as always at any Ruby’s. The classic cheeseburger, Brussels’ sprouts, and fries with truffle aioli are classics for me and always a hit. We also loved the crispy rice bowl and the spicy vodka pasta. It was my first time trying the calamari which was tasty, especially the dipping sauce, but the portion was a little on the smaller side. Another highlight about this location is that it has two bars that you can sit at. The cocktails were great: I loved both the That Cucumber Drink and the Yuzu Jalapeño Margarita. Can’t wait to come back (often). Thank you!

Excellent High Tea! Only issue is service was slow to start, they let us know ahead of time they were running late and they had to seat us 15 minutes after our reservation, that was fine, but then it was another 15 minutes (so 30 minutes after our reservation) before we got any food or drinks, despite giving them our tea order the night before (as requested). So that was disappointing. After that, great! They brought us our food and tea, everything was delicious, and they were very lenient on our leaving time (beyond the extra 15 minutes from the late start), so that was all good. Just wish the start was more prompt!

The food was so amazing. So glad my friends and I came here.

Food and service excellent. Would definitely go back!

Lafayette in New York never disappoints! I first visited with my girlfriends for my birthday, and this time, I went with my family—it was just as wonderful. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the service is excellent, and the food is absolutely delicious. Every dish is beautifully presented and full of flavor. Whether for a special occasion or a casual outing, Lafayette is always a great choice. Highly recommend!
