Williamsburg Restaurant Directory

The rival of
Greenpoint for most sought-after Brooklyn neighborhood has to be Williamsburg.
With a trajectory of popularity, gentrification, and rising rent prices like no
other neighborhood in Brooklyn, Williamsburg is a giant of industry compared to
what it used to be.

Williamsburg
has become a mecca for the too-freaking-cool, I-knew-about-that-first brooding
hipster (with even tinier beanies!). And do you know what they love more than
normcore Sketchers, bars alight with only lightbulbs hung with wire, and a sale
at Rough Trade? Brunch.

But before
we steer you away completely, which is not what we are meaning to do, (we just
love making fun of Williamsburg) let’s talk about how good these brunches
actually are. Brunch in Williamsburg is like walking onto the set of Girls,
only to realize these are actual human beings who have a way more carefully
curated Instagram page than you, and wouldn’t dare leave a thumb in the
vicinity of a frame.

Ok, we’ll
stop now. Brunch in Williamsburg if you want something to brag about.

Egg

Egg is
actually a brunch sent from socially conscious heaven. Their Brooklyn location
is the original one, but there is now an Egg operating in Tokyo as well.
Besides the beautiful brunch they serve, Egg also runs their own farm, employs
a diverse kitchen staff, and has established a program that emphasizes the
importance of literature in the community.

We’re
already sold based on the aforementioned, but we need to talk about the food,
too. Egg makes what you’d expect from the name, but they do it simply and they
do it well. With a menu that changes with the season, you’ll probably always be
surprised by the different dishes you can try at Egg throughout the year. And
before you absolutely run out the door to get to this place, put your shoes on,
because breakfast is served all day.

The menu
includes favorites like grits and eggs, biscuits and gravy, homemade granola,
and eggs Rothko. The prices are also extremely good for such well-prepared and
thought out food. The New York Times even gave it a glowing review. If
you can make the Times happy, we think you’ve made it.

Special
mentions from the menu include candied bacon, the fried oyster sandwich, hot
ham, and pimento cheese, and caramelized grapefruit with mint. Now that your
shoes are on, you should go now.

Roberta’s
Pizza

Roberta’s is
another Williamsburg icon, with many people coming for the pizza, not knowing
that they serve brunch as well. The menu is ever-changing so that the kitchen
can experiment with the brunch, but also so the patrons can keep coming back
and trying new things.

However, the
brunch menu does stay a bit limited. In terms of sweets, Roberta’s offers
sticky buns and croissants. For traditional breakfast dishes, the restaurant
serves a twist on the bodega bacon, egg, and cheese (on a croissant with
fingerling potatoes), buttermilk pancakes, and scrambled eggs served with
broccolini and pecorino. If you’re feeling extra hungry, there’s also the
double cheeseburger.

Aside from
breakfast and sandwiches, Roberta’s still serves a selection of pizzas for
brunch, which sound just about right with an egg. There’s also a tiki bar
included at the restaurant, so wait times can be a lot less boring, and a
little more fun. But there are communal tables, so put your most polite hat on
for this one.

Williamsburg brunch decisions are easier when you compare exact addresses and serving windows. Hole In The Wall on Bedford Avenue offers Australian-inspired dishes, Cafe Mogador on Wythe Avenue focuses on Moroccan and Middle Eastern breakfast, and Aurora on Grand Street serves Italian weekend plates. This guide keeps the selection inside Williamsburg and explains how to choose among three different menus.

Use the exact street address below. A weekend dining-room brunch, daily cafe breakfast and online ordering schedule can follow different hours. Check the day, meal and final seating before reserving; the venue’s closing time alone does not establish brunch availability.

An egg dish with potatoes and toast is a different order from a pastry, a single starter or a shared plate. Read the named menu prices and included sides, then add applicable restaurant charges and transport or parking. Online examples are not independently confirmed dine-in bills.

Kimchi scramble, pork Benedict and specialty coffee give the Bedford Avenue cafe an Australian-inspired direction in this Williamsburg selection. Match 292 Bedford Avenue when booking, rather than another Hole in the Wall branch. Confirm its current brunch window and include the menu’s card fee or group gratuity when estimating the bill. The current Williamsburg page directs diners to Google for up-to-date operating hours. A fixed current brunch window is not published on that page. The linked breakfast-and-brunch menu is available, but confirm the start and final brunch order directly before choosing an arrival time. Kimchi scramble, pork Benedict and banana-caramel waffles. Current linked menu: eggs $12, avocado toast $15.50 and kimchi scramble $20. A 2.5% card-processing fee makes a $12 dish $12.30 before tax and extras; paying cash avoids that fee. Parties of six or more have 20% gratuity added. Drinks and additions are separate. Book the Williamsburg branch at 292 Bedford Avenue, especially on weekends. The official reservations page directs parties of eight or more to its group contact. A booking does not establish the kitchen cutoff; ask about brunch service for your chosen day.

Cafe Mogador’s Wythe Avenue restaurant adds Moroccan eggs and halloumi eggs to the Williamsburg choices, with breakfast until 4 PM and a separately priced $20 everyday brunch selection. Compare the included pita and sides, and use Brooklyn rather than East Village booking information. Cafe Mogador Williamsburg opens at 10 AM daily. Its currently linked Brooklyn menu lists breakfast until 4 PM, and labels its $20 brunch dishes for every day. The weekend-only note applies to the Bloody Mary; the East Village restaurant has different opening times and a separate menu. Moroccan eggs, halloumi eggs and Middle Eastern breakfast. The currently linked Brooklyn menu lists Moroccan eggs, halloumi eggs and Middle Eastern breakfast at $18 each; egg dishes include za’atar pita. Moroccan eggs also include rosemary potatoes. The separate everyday brunch selection is $20, including Benedict choices. Drinks, tax, gratuity and any applicable charges are additional. Choose Brooklyn on Cafe Mogador’s official Resy reservation route for 133 Wythe Avenue. Ask about a walk-in wait or garden seating if needed; neither a particular table nor immediate availability is guaranteed. Use the branch phone, 718-486-9222, for meal timing.

Aurora’s Grand Street menu adds Italian weekend plates, including cacio e pepe scrambled eggs and prosciutto-and-burrata Benedict. Choose it for an 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekend meal, using the Williamsburg address when booking. Aurora Williamsburg opens at 11 AM on Saturday and Sunday, with brunch served until 3:30 PM. Weekday opening at noon does not establish the same brunch menu. Choose the weekend service at 70 Grand Street and confirm final seating if arriving near the endpoint. Brioche French toast, prosciutto-and-burrata eggs Benedict and cacio e pepe scrambled eggs. Published food examples: $16 French toast, $22 Benedict and $20 scrambled eggs. Drinks, tax, gratuity and any applicable charges are separate. Reserve Aurora Williamsburg through its official Reservations page. Request indoor or garden seating if the area matters; weather and availability require confirmation. Choose the Brooklyn address, rather than the similarly named restaurant in SoHo.
