The Best Places to Get a Late Breakfast in Brooklyn, New York

Five Leaves is a Greenpoint eatery that continues in Heath Ledger’s memory and is a perfect place to get a late breakfast (brunch) in Brooklyn. Just as Ledger envisioned it, it has a hip and cool Australian vibe and has become a wildly popular place to eat. Situated where Williamsburg and Greenpoint meet, there are a lot of places to visit after your leisurely meal.

This cool old-school bar/parlor is also an excellent place to grab brunch. From steak and eggs to clams in garlic sauce, there are several options at Sweetwater Restaurant, and they’re all so tasty. The coffee happens to taste like it has chocolate in it, and the Bloody Mary is just the right mix of tomato juice and vodka. They also have a garden in the back of the restaurant that is perfect for a summer afternoon of brunching outside and drinking rosé. This old-school institution in Williamsburg is not to be missed.

Buttermilk Channel is a favorite American breakfast spot in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood and is a perfect place to bring the family to brunch. Also, you can’t really go wrong considering the restaurant has “buttermilk” in the name. It’s also an excellent opportunity to explore a new part of Brooklyn!

Roberta’s is partially responsible for the uptick in visits to Bushwick, thanks to its grimey cool look (because it’s cool to be grimey now – thanks, Lena Dunham) and its delicious pizza. Manhanttanite’s are flocking to Roberta’s; not only because of cool vibes and the food but also mainly to say they’ve eaten and been to Brooklyn. From the salivating porn food photos, it’s certainly worth the trip.

Tucked a little deeper into Brooklyn is the homey eatery known as Walter’s. It has all the makings of an old-school Brooklyn restaurant: it’s as if Walter is still slinging the pancakes on the griddle. Located in Fort Greene, it’s an excellent place to grab brunch and see a new neighborhood.
