My friend invited me to grab lunch here and I thought to myself “I am not a fancy toast girlie” but went nevertheless. Very happy to have been proven wrong! I can’t stop thinking about the mycelium toast with the robust pesto and the dill sourdough. Really quality ingredients treated with love. Gave me the balanced nutritional strength to fuel running around for the rest of the day. Can’t wait to go back!

Food was OK - where you'll really get good items is the shakes / drinks on the backside of the menu. It is verrrry cute but also tight and hard to find a seat, and food took a while.

We love supporting Brooklyn's Companion Cafe where locals come to enjoy food made with love. We happened upon it through the sparkling reviews and doubly grateful that this charming lil' cafe lived up to its reputation. How nice to know that the owner - and yes, he is always there - sincerely wishes the best for his customers as demonstrated through genuine organic food, hand selected and prepared by him. Our meal - yummy Chai, delicious egg 'n tomato-mushroomy toast with a side of greens tossed in more deliciousness fueled us for our next adventure. Although we are out of towners, we will be sure to return next time. Thank You!

We did not know anything about this place until I searched for "brunch" one Saturday morning and saw that Companion Cafe had much higher ratings than anything else around. It is incredible what a popular business they built in such a tiny space! Coffee drinks (note: no decaf is served here), breakfast/brunch foods, tons of plants and there's even a bathroom! We ordered a cappuccino, omelette and French toast. I REALLY liked my omelette, would give it 5 stars. The French toast was overly rich - generously covered with nut butter, a dollop of jam, sprinkled with maple syrup, and finally adorned with apple slices. We tried to finish it but it was simply too much and wouldnt have been good reheated later. Overall, glad to have tried this spot - clearly they've built a loyal following and have a particular vibe.

So impressed with what they've managed to do with the small space they have. Chai, coffee, service, ambience and food all top notch.

What will you get here? Carefully crafted plates with passion that are not only aesthetically appealing and mouth-watering, but actually delicious and ecstatic. This is THE breakfast place to try -both for its unique vibes and amazing menu. And who said healthy didn't rhyme with tasty? So happy we stumbled upon Companion Cafe, and I can only recommend it 100 (gazillion) percent.N.B I actually wrote this while still in the Cafe, with a full(filled) heart and stomach :)

I'm truly shocked at how rude and hurtful they can be...makes me wonder why they wanted to open a business at all in the first place. But they certainly shouldn't be in customer service.

Took a lil journey down to Brooklyn to find this wonderful cafe. Everything from staff to drinks to the food was amazing! So delicious and are still trying to gather the ingredients to try and recreate the this tea but I'm sure we will never be able to make it as good...will most definitely be back and if we lived closer we would make this place a usual spot! Very chill and relaxed atmosphere that always helps welcome in a day.

The burrito was ok, but the staff's attention leaves a lot to be desired, they have a bad attitude, as a customer sometimes the food can be ok but at least if the staff makes it pleasant, it's great. I would not return to this cafe.

Ate at companion for the second time today in what I am sure will be a long standing string of repeat occurrences!I started with the cardamom iced coffee with milk which was just the right balance of spice to ice on this summerlike day in a climate changing November. Companion has hit the nail on the head for how to feed people in a way that is socially and globally aware and sensitive.I sat inside under the plants at the bar so that I could be close action and listen to the Andi Otto remixes which took us from 'Bangalore Whispers' to 'Six' in a bop and a hip sway that passed between the crew in the kitchen made its way through the bar via a sort of osmosis to make me want to dance as I ate.This time I had the Korma toast with avocado, which balanced a rich, nutty spread with the tang of the purple pico and the lightness of micro green to top it all off, all on top of a thick slab of just-rightly grilled bread. It carried me away. I felt crazy in my enthusiastic gestures to the staff that were trying to communicate "goddam!! This is the best meal I've had in a while!!" through vigorous nods and thumbs up symbols with a chef's kiss gesture thrown in there somewhere as well.I felt so nourished that it was like being high.Not just by the food but by the care in its selection, preparation, and presentation.This spot crafts food that is artful and loving without being overdone.I highly recommend that you attend when you have a moment of leisure to sit and enjoy the specificity that this establishment has to offer.
