This cute little coffee shop is so close and on your way to the J subway train. They serve strong coffee and espresso drinks, but also have a small menu (the grilled cheese, avocado toast, and breakfast omelette sandwich are our favorites). If you stay to eat, you can also enjoy a refreshing mimosa!

Santa Panza is a fabulous neighborhood pizza joint with a lot of character and warmth. Wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas are their specialty, but the appetizers, the pastas, and the carafes of wine ensure there’s something for everyone. If you’re lucky, you may get a table out back and dine al fresco. Do note that it’s cash only.

Roberta’s literally put Bushwick on the map: before Roberta’s very few people were venturing out to this corner of Brooklyn. Opened in 2008, Roberta’s still has the best pizza around. They don’t take reservations and you should be prepared to wait. Our favorite item on the menu is the Bee Sting Pizza, featuring spicy soppressata with a drizzle of honey.

Faro is a one Michelin star rated Italian-leaning restaurant in the heart of Bushwick. Opened in May 2015, Faro offers a sophisticated seasonal menu that focuses on handmade pastas & farm-fresh ingredients. While some may think the portions are small, we’d say it allows you to try so much more!

Forrest Point does brunch better than anyone else in Bushwick. Tasty entrees, boozy drinks and a great atmosphere (with gorgeous outdoor area), all lead us to that conclusion. For food, we recommend the chilaquiles and for drink, try a Fire in the Laundromat, one of their signature tequila cocktails.
