Guevara's

"With its pastel pink arches and checkered flooring, Guevara’s patio feels like a party in Betsey Johnson’s backyard. The sidewalk seating area at this Clinton Hill cafe is first come, first served, and you can stop by and enjoy some plant-based dishes like an excellent breakfast torta with trumpet mushroom bacon. They also sell plenty of baked goods, and you can always pick up a new ficus tree at the plant shop inside." - neha talreja, bryan kim, nikko duren, molly fitzpatrick

"This vegan cafe and specialty foods store in Clinton Hill, from the people behind Mekelburg’s, is where you’ll find some of the best plant-based brunch food in the city. They serve a breakfast torta with king trumpet mushroom bacon as well plant-based lox bagels, picadillo empanadas, and pozole. You can’t go wrong with any of those dishes, and nothing costs more than $20. If it’s nice out, we recommend hanging out all morning on the pleasant patio, but if you must do takeout, you can always grab some guava cream cheese doughnuts to go and eat them on your couch." - neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim, kenny yang

"Guevara’s is a vegan café located one neighborhood over from Greenpot in Williamsburg." - Mayukh Sen

"At Guevara’s, it’s hard to feel disappointed. The Clinton Hill cafe from the team behind Mekelburg’s has a sidewalk patio with pastel pink arches and checkered flooring, a shop stocked with cacti, and a plant-based Cuban menu with things like tortas and donuts. So even if your date shows up and doesn’t compliment the outfit you spent the previous four hours coordinating, you’ll still find something to smile about." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja

"If the weather cooperates, this great new vegan Cuban cafe in Clinton Hill is hosting a live band and dancing on the sidewalk from 1pm-4pm on Saturday, May 1st. While you’re there, get the torta milanesa, which comes stacked high with avocado, purple cabbage slaw, beans, tomato, jalapeno, and a crunchy slab of eggplant cutlet. Plus, nothing on the menu costs more than $10." - hannah albertine
