Baby Blues Luncheonette

"The little Greek American restaurant looks like a coffee shop crossed with a retro diner, and the menu is full of unpretentious crowd-pleasers, such as baklava banana bread, a BEC, and a plate of creamy soft-scrambled eggs with pita and halloumi. And, yes, many things in sight will be a calming shade of baby blue." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, will hartman, sonal shah

"Baby Blues is a Greek/American spot in Williamsburg that feels like a mashup between a neighborhood coffee shop and an old-school diner. Appropriately, most of the decor is baby blue, including the huge shelf by the entrance that’s stocked with enough VHS tapes to qualify as a Blockbuster. The brunchy food isn’t anything fancy, but they’re open until 3pm on weekdays in case you don’t have time to have your eggs until the afternoon. Get a plate of buttery scrambled eggs with pita and halloumi, or pair some baklava banana bread with a banana date smoothie. " - team infatuation

"Since 2020, there has been a critical mass of luncheonette openings — or at least new ones calling themselves that — with Old John’s, Baby Blues Luncheonette, Agi’s Counter, and S&P." - Emma Orlow

There might be a wait if you stop by on a weekend, but you can always hang out up front and watch a VHS. Just be sure to pick a crowd-pleaser, because there’s only one TV." - Bryan Kim

"Baby Blues Luncheonette opened last week with modern Greek diner food and charming interior design, dotted with vintage pepper shakers, and a wall of VHS tapes." - Emma Orlow
