“ This is a warm place with unique delicatessen. I would definitely recommended it as a place to have an amazing carrot cake ”
“ Great food! Great service!! Cute spot w delicious food. They also serve up mimosas w freshly squeezed OJ ”
“ I love Colina Cuervo. Everything I order is deliciously satisfying and always hits the spot. Highlights include the horchata latte (my fave!), chorizo torta and the pancakes with that caramel butter---it's so good! I like dining in and ordering take out. You can't go wrong either way. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star is the lack of consistency. This is a place where each dish may taste differently depending on the day you order/who is cooking. Still yummy, just not consistent every time. ”
“ Found on Yelp when looking for lunch. The absolute best tomato soup and grilled cheese ever! Love the fried rice as well, and the vibes are cute, clean, and casual. The service is so good although we ordered at the counter. Excellent underrated gem! ”
“ This was the most pleasant surprise during my trip to New York this go round. The ambiance is quaint and intimate. The staff was very patient and friendly. All that I could ask for as a first timer. I elected for a Cortado and the Pork Hash. My guest had the chorizo tacos with scrambled eggs and a maple latte. The flavors in both my hash and the chorizo tacos were phenomenal. I made a perfect bite of the hominy (in place of potato), pork, pickled jalapeno and onions, and poached egg. I'll be back to try a few more items from the menu. Job well done. ”
“ 4.5/5| Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese | $12 4/5 | Iced Coffee | $4 Wow this was an amazing brunch spot in Brooklyn! Lots of baked goods, drinks, and brunch food items. I tried the tomato soup and grilled cheese, which were delicious. The tomato soup was rich and creamy, only complaint was that it was a bit too salty. The grilled cheese was delicious as well, can't go wrong with that combo! The iced coffee was well made, but a tiny bit watery for my taste. My friend got a latte, which was much better so would recommend getting their lattes instead! Loved the ambiance inside and service was fast. ”
“ Love this place! Got a grilled cheese and tomato soup combo on a rainy day. it was perfect! Place is busy on weekdays and weekends, free wifi and ample working space both inside and outside. Love it! Great neighborhood spot. ”
“ Very cute spot with really good coffee and service. Ecuadorian fried rice was delicious and hit the spot, the egg on top made the whole meal. Would strongly recommend, very well priced and good serving sizes. Not too many seats indoors but still worth a visit if you're in the mood for either coffee or good food. ”
“ This is a loong overdue review, but a friend and I stopped by here during our visit to Brooklyn and we enjoyed everything about our meal! On the morning of, we were in the mood for something savory and spontaneous before our flight back to San Diego. Thankfully, Colina Cuervo was about an 8 min walk from our Airbnb in Crown Heights. The restaurant itself is located conveniently near Eastern Pkwy (one of the busier streets in the neighborhood). There's both indoor and outdoor seating, but seats do fill up quickly when it's rush hour. My friend and I decided to sit outside since at the time, that was the only table available lol, but we both agreed that we didn't mind the occasionally people-watching as we shared a meal. From the moment we ordered to when we were seated, our cashier/ waiter was attentive and made us feel at home. I believe my friend ordered coffee and some empanadas. As for myself, the drink I got was okay; however, the tacos I got were memorable--this is not easy to admit coming from someone who's from San Diego and spoiled with the cuisine here, so kudos to y'all for doing it so well! Thanks for feeding us with love during our visit to your side of town! :) ”
