Crema's Take
“Café Paulette pulls off that rare trick of making you feel like you've stepped into a Parisian bistro without the pretension—the owner Angelique's genuine warmth sets the tone, and regulars rave about everything from the butter-laden pastries to properly executed classics like duck and profiteroles. The tree-lined outdoor seating near Fort Greene Park is perfect for a leisurely breakfast or lunch, though go in prepared for a lively, sometimes loud crowd that comes with the charm. If you want traditional French café food executed with care in Brooklyn, this is worth the trip.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Parking available.

Noisy place. Duck is nice. Escargot I wouldn't recommend. Too sour and without shells. Profiteroles serve with ice cream and black hot chocolate. Delicious
Absolutely fantastic experience at Café Paulette! Everything was top-notch, from the attentive service to the charming atmosphere. The steak was cooked to perfection, I recommend ordering it medium for the best texture. Don't leave without trying their freshly squeezed orange…
