Jalepeno, organic free range egg, & broccoli rabe are just some of the toppings you can request in your grits and, soon, your stomach, a salve for a night of drinking & precursor to a day of napping. Read more

Vegetarian here: this is one of my favorite places in Brooklyn. Start with the breakfast sandwiches. Graduate to grits, tomato soup, amazing pizzas, nitro cold brew, etc. Trust them with everything.

At SCRATCHBREAD in Bed-Stuy, the bakers throw out most of the rules & create their own loaves from, well, scratch. Make Monday a little better by treating yourself to a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. Read more

The BEST bread. The BEST grits. The BEST pizza-made-on-focaccia. If you've ever thought you enjoyed good bread or pastries, you owe it to yourself to go. Now. NOW. Get a loaf for the homestead.

The sandwich breads they use are incredible. Grits with roasted asparagus and almond romesco. Anything for dessert. I'm writing a blank check for real, you can't order anything wrong here.

When I learned about breakfast cups, I thought it was genius. At SCRATCHbread, it's next level deliciousness. Would have taken a pic if I didn't scarf those amazing grits!

The grits were amazing, as was the fall flatbread. Getting a sourdough to remember it by - very sad to see it go. Get there before it closes on October 11th!
David RosenbergMay 6, 2014
Build your own grits if you dare, or let the SCRATCHbread geniuses surprise you with whatever they are cooking up that week. Shortbread is a mandatory addition to any order.

Definitely get the soft egg and kale pesto paste w/ your grits. The kale pesto is so good, when I accidentally got a bit on my finger I almost gnawed it off.
Scott BleicherAugust 23, 2014
Ridiculous DIY egg sandwiches (get it on focaccia) and killer grits. And shortbread. Can't forget the shortbread. Line is worth it, sidewalk counter is fun.

The shortbread cookies are the best I've ever had, and the breakfast sandwiches never disappoint.

The food is kinda strange but delicious, I loved it. If you are looking for something different and cheap this is a great option.

A revamped pecan sticky bun featuring candied orange, molasses, pleasantly spicy chilies, and pecans. Try one out if you can handle it -- these breads don't hold back.
Zayed KhanMay 11, 2014
Super delicious (albeit a tad bit doughy) sticky bun, with pecans, cinnamon, bourbon glaze, and a surprisingly potent chili component.

And on the 7th Day, He made "stoop brunch" and grits with kale pesto, jalapeno sauce, and a soft boiled egg, and it was Good.

Wow, wonderful wood-fired sandwiches and incredibly friendly staff. A place to return to again and again.
Daniel KaufmanAugust 22, 2014
Breakfast in a cup is one of the smartest concepts I've seen. Delicious and portable. Great pizzas, and obviously incredible bread.
Alex GuzmanNovember 22, 2014
Simple coffee shop. Try the Nitro Cold Brew. It's iced coffee pumped with nitrous so it's thick and creamy (haha), like a Guinness.
Serious EatsAugust 15, 2013
Always original, constantly evolving bakery and restaurant with a strong penchant for full-flavored whole grain breads.
J StandeferMarch 12, 2015
Almond romesco sauce, take some home - you'll want more. Cacio e pepe loaf impressive parmesan and pepper combo.

My go-to order is grits with soft egg, pesto, and bacon
Aidah Z. M.March 31, 2014
Get the big cup of grits...any other size would be civilized! Go large or go back. You'll definitely want more. I dare you not to!

Definitely the grits. Get a small in a big cup. Or go for the pizza. It's all great, really.

Interesting chai sticky buns and fruit and chocolate scones are guaranteed to make the mouth water. #4 on Tejal Rao's 10 Best Pastry Shops in New York

Was in a rush but grabbed a nonna sandwich and slice of cheese pizza. Delicious!
Manny HernandezMay 27, 2015
The grits with pesto, soft-boiled egg and pulled pork 💯
IfeoluwaJanuary 2, 2015
The Grits are good. Have them w/ the chicken meatball if overly crisp bacon isn't your thing.
Brian PelayoMarch 30, 2014
I rarely write tips, but damn the grits here are phenomenal. My favorite spot in the neighborhood.
Chris LApril 17, 2014
Top your grits with pesto and bacon. And bring those people who say good grits are only in the South.

Panzanella is the best best best, get some and inhale it.
Thomas MoAugust 16, 2014
The bread here is incredible. So skip the grits/rice/salad and make a sandwich. Or buy an entire loaf.
Brownstone Living NYCMarch 29, 2013
Tell them what your serving at your next dinner and they can pair you a great bread. Just like a wine pairing.
Sarah SpagnoloFebruary 1, 2015
Good Stumptown coffee but no skim milk. Rolled oat milk with splash of vanilla is an option. It's behind the counter.
Dolapo FalolaOctober 8, 2011
chai sticky bun - focaccia dough baked in burnt-orange caramel with black pepper, chiles, chai spices, and coffee beans.
Ashley MarronMay 28, 2015
Everything is delicious. Definitely recommend the spring flat. Veggie overload.

Sit on the sidewalk and eat the best breakfast you'll be able to find.
Aline AssisMarch 9, 2014
seriously good. I had the egg sandwich and have been dreaming about it ever since.

Hot buttered Cider! Get it while there is still a chill in the air.
The Corcoran GroupMarch 4, 2011
Find them at the Brooklyn Flea or at locations around the city. You must try the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate!

The large kale salad is a whole lot of kale....

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G girls, vision, bread and flatbreads (chicken meatball with kale pesto is a must!)

Ask for the kale pesto on anything, it's ridiculously good! Also highly recommend pita & grits. Nom.
Mike McVicarAugust 31, 2014
The Grits with soft egg, pesto, bacon and any veggie is my jam.
Chris WaslinNovember 22, 2014
Mmmm pizza is authentic and unique. Could do without the hipster congregation though
