"You enter this light-filled café by walking through a verdant tunnel entrance etched with branches, which sets its laid-back feel. The space is clean, furnished with unexpected industrial accents and plants all around (including on the see-through roof). Tucked right under the Williamsburg bridge on the patio space of its sister restaurant Loosie’s Kitchen, this is the perfect spot for morning freelancing, afternoon meetings, or relaxed happy hour cocktails. (Order one of the fresh "superfood" donuts or the kale-matcha margarita–or both.)"

The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week, Fall 2018 - Eater NY

"I’m still going back and forth between the brisket and the tempura long beans at Loosie’s Kitchen in Williamsburg as the best thing I ate this week. But let’s go with the brisket ($27); mostly for its perfect braise, the char siu flavoring which sings of chef Henry Lu’s childhood at a fast food Chinese restaurant, and the pleasantly-sweet parsnip garlic puree. Get the tempura long beans too." - Eater Staff

This is a difficult review to write. I want to give a 4 Star but the flavor wasn’t up to snuff. Everything was impeccably cooked from a technical perspective but most of it didn’t have the flavor I’d hope for. The cornbread may be the worst offender. You can tell that care and thought went into its preparation. They even tossed it on the griddle to sear one side. But the bread had zero flavor to it. I wanted so much more. Same for the biscuits and eggs. The chicken and waffles maybe hit it the best on the flavor with an interesting spicy and sweet fruit syrup and the chicken was perfectly cooked but it could have used more flavor. Overall I wanted it to be great. And they’re clearly putting a lot of love and effort into it but I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Love love love it here! The food is amazing and reasonably priced for brunch in Williamsburg or in NYC for that matter. Great coffee and atmosphere! It’s gorgeous inside and out. Came back from Europe and this really fulfilled my craving for a little cafe. A bit of a walk form the L but so worth it.

Beautiful looking space. Perfect backdrop for the instagram inclined. But the food was on the expensive side for what you get. And still left me and my group hungry. That being said, service was dope. Bonnie is great. Give her a raise. And whoever did your interior is wildly talented. Also my Brown Derby cocktail was perfect. So thanks for that!

We recently visited Brooklyn primarily to have lunch at Peter Luger. While awaiting our reservation time, we stopped at this small cafe called Loosie's nearby at 6th Street under the Williamsburg Bridge. This is a small, eclectic and hip place with interesting indoor and outdoor seating. We stopped for coffee drinks, finding them decent. Espresso was citrusy and rather bitter, better for milk coffee drinks than taken on its own. The Cortado, for more or less the same reason, tasted better. Not really a place for great coffees, it must be said that Loosie's was a relaxing place to get off our feet and have a rest. Free wifi with a strong signal helped pass the time during our coffee break here.

Great food, cute atmosphere and vibe. Service can be good but sometimes it's a little off. But the food makes up for it! 😋

The place was great. Delicious cocktails and food. The menu was small and thoughtful, changing often. The outdoor sitting was charming. Great use of space! The mains are generous so I would caution restraint if your are going to have a few appetizers as well. The plate of fried chicken was a small moutain, definitely worth splitting. Shout out to the mezcal mule, it was like drinking summer in a glass.

I love this place because it's friendly and you feel at home. The restaurant is cosy with good music. The food is good and for all budget. You can share everything or have your own plate. Cocktail are pretty good and for wine lovers there is a really good selection.

Enjoyed a delicious brunch in this light-filled, photogenic cafe. Bright, colorful, and design-minded decor pairs wonderfully with delectable nutella beignets (with homemade whipped cream) and some of the best fried chicken and waffles I've ever tasted. The manager was also very thoughtful and apologetic as our order ticket was misplaced, yet we hadn't even felt like we had been waiting too long when she came over and apologized and comped some of our ticket.
