Stylish cafe with unique toasts, sandwiches, and coffee
"While there are only two tables on Bruce & Son’s covered front patio, these are the best seats in Greenport for people-watching, especially during brunch. There, on Main Street, you’ll see couples fresh off their boat, families pushing strollers, folks coming up from the Hamptons by way of Shelter Island, and lots of dogs. The all-day brunch menu leans hard on breakfast, with excellent hotcakes with fresh berries and a couple of heavier sandwiches like a BLT. The dining room has a clean, country look, with a few tables that you’ll need to reserve. Dinner is another solid time to stop by, when they do things like a burger on brioche with a punch of fresh mint and dill and a grilled cheese that’s beefed up with asparagus, fontina cheese, and peppery horseradish mayo." - sal vaglica
"There are two reasons why you should make a reservation at Bruce & Son in Greenport: first, to get some food in your stomach before consuming any alcohol. And second, to mentally prepare yourself for a day of clinking glasses and hearing someone murder the pronunciation of “gewürztraminer.” If your ideal breakfast is actually dessert, their hotcakes are loaded up with peach butter, maple syrup, dried berries, and seeds for some crunch. For a more protein-forward meal, the egg sandwich has thick slabs of sugar bacon for the ultimate savory-sweet combo. If you have some time to kill between brunch and your first tasting, Main Street has lots of antique and gift shops prime for browsing." - anne cruz

"A stylish all-day café on Long Island’s North Fork, Bruce & Son’s menu has several trendy and tasty toasts (strawberry and kefir cheese, beets with labneh and dukkah, for example) and a few sandwiches, including a towering BLT on sourdough bread with brown-sugar-coated bacon, tomato, butterhead lettuce, and spicy mayo. Pair it with one of the drinks from the eclectic beverage menu, like a Vietnamese egg coffee, nectarine lemonade, or turmeric latte." - devorahlevtov
