Bay Ridge Brunch Without the Hassle
Brunch in Bay Ridge has a different feel than the rest of Brooklyn. There are no two-hour waitlists, no reservation apps, no velvet ropes. The neighborhood runs on a simpler model: walk in, order at the counter, find a seat. Pier 69 Market at 10 Bay Ridge Ave takes that approach and pairs it with food and coffee that would hold up anywhere in the borough.
The brunch menu covers the spectrum. Belgian waffles with fresh berries and whipped cream for the sweet tooth. Egg sandwiches on fresh-baked rolls for the classic New York move. Acai bowls with house-made granola for the health-conscious. Avocado toast on thick-cut sourdough for everyone else. Smoothie bowls blended thick enough to eat with a spoon. Each item made fresh to order from real ingredients.
The coffee program runs on La Colombe, one of the most respected specialty roasters in the country. Cortados, flat whites, cold brew on tap. For non-coffee drinkers, Rishi tea lattes including matcha and chai. A cortado paired with Belgian waffles or a cold brew alongside an acai bowl are the combinations that regulars keep coming back to.
