You know what’s suspect? When you ask someone if a restaurant is good and their answer is, ‘well, they have a really good brunch.’ Oh, so you mean they serve mediocre food five days out of the week, but then they totally step up their game for poached eggs and scones? F*ck, we should go.
That’s pretty much the story with Cafe Colette. This place is always in the mix when people talk about brunch in Williamsburg. Not that we ourselves are participating in that conversation, but we do know a handful of 24 year olds. They love brunch.
From what we can tell, Cafe Colette does seem to do weekend daytime food pretty well, and they also have a very good espresso and coffee bar situation set up. But what about the other five days of the week? Judging by the several meals we’ve now had here, this place is very average. Average except for one thing. The burger. I know what you’re thinking – every place like this has a good burger. They are, after all, a staple of brunch menus. But this one is seriously good. Best in Brooklyn good. Ready for the kicker? They do a great plate of brussels sprouts too. And would you be surprised to learn that they also have a very good cocktail menu? Didn’t think so. Isn’t this exciting?
