Could cozy get even cozier? I think not. Literally -- while all the greenery both inside and outside the cafe certainly set the scene for a picturesque garden getaway near Downtown Brooklyn, know that real estate realities are also a factor in this cafe's coziness, for better or for worse.
I loved the ambiance, the curry chicken crepe, and the company, though I couldn't help but think that this place would be a nightmare on weekends. We stopped by on a Wednesday morning for a late breakfast, thinking that it would be easier to snag a table that way. Little did I know that it was already packed inside (admittedly a fairly easy feat considering that there are only a handful of tables inside). We hovered by the outdoor seating, desperately hoping that someone would finish their meals by the time ours were ready. Perhaps dining here is a test of altruism as you're asked to keep your meals to 45 minutes.
Most of the dishes here are Persian-inspired. The curry chicken crepe comes with house roasted chicken, grapes, scallions, walnuts. Expect Brooklyn prices (it was $22) but as more of a brunch dish, it was enough to tide me over until the evening. They open at 7:30 AM on weekdays and at 8:30 AM on weekends, so maybe the prospect of dining at this beautiful Parisian-looking but Persian-tasting cafe without feeling like someone is breathing down your neck is enough to convince you to wake up early?
