Bright Side Cafe
4.1 / 5 (2178 reviews)

Description

Nestled in Williamsburg near the ferry, this cozy café delivers standout brunch plates and creamy lattes alongside ample indoor and sun-or-shade patio seating. The menu shines with vegetarian-friendly options, porridge, halloumi and bakeries that appeal to families and dog meet-ups. However, coffee quality can be inconsistent, prices skew high, and an open kitchen can leave an exhausty scent. Service reviews vary from warm to confrontational, so expect delicious food and a lovely setting but inconsistent service and beverage reliability.

I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always been good! The only thing I’m sad about is they use to have this fabulous mushroom toast with beet hummus and it’s gone Service: Dine in Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

I am absolutely disappointed. I was taken away from the bad service from the start, but once the food came I cut them some slack because it was yummy, afterwards tho the waiter DEMANDED a tip even asking us “Are you guys from America?” That was the most disrespectful experience I’ve ever had. This comment was very inappropriate and I hope they can revise their staff. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

The food here is excellent, but the prices are far too high. The coffee is disappointing as well. However, the biggest issue is the staff, who are consistently unfriendly and display a passive-aggressive attitude. It's a pity, because the combination of a great location and delicious food could make this place truly special.

The coffee here is fantastic, and the staff are very friendly. I tried the breakfast burrito, and it was delicious. They offer plenty of vegetarian options as well.
