Crema's Take

“Penny House Cafe is a Brooklyn gem where the coffee is genuinely excellent and the food equally thoughtful, from smashed falafel everything bagels to Dutch Boy sandwiches with smoked salmon and Gouda that arrive looking almost too beautiful to eat. The owner Mahmoud has created the kind of place where you can linger over a slow breakfast or grab a perfectly balanced Dirty Chai between meetings, with comfortable seating and reliable wifi that keeps the regulars coming back. It's the rare neighborhood spot that nails both the craft and the hospitality—a place where you feel genuinely welcomed every time you walk through the door.”

I wish I did take a picture of the food but it was so good in presentation and smell that I thought of nothing else. Upon my first time there this past weekend I’ve had the Best Seller and slices of avocado on the side and I couldn’t love it more. Staff are wonderful humans who truly cater with love and generosity and it’s why I comeback more than the food. Feels comforting, I don’t even live in Brooklyn (Long Island).

Where else can you get a smashed falafel sandwich on an everything bagel while watching premier league footy? If there is another place, I don’t want to hear about it because Mahmoud has me covered here at Penny House. Perfection!

BEST breakfast place in Brooklyn!! Absolutely love everything about this place. The food is nothing short of delicious, very fresh, flavorful and tasty. Really good coffee too. Mahmoud and Ismael were extremely kind, welcoming, personable and funny. Will definitely be coming back!

Had the absolute pleasure of coming into Penny House Cafe recently. I got the best seller and drip coffee. The food portion was great and delicious! But the star of it all was the owner, he was so warm and hospitable despite a busy line, really made sure everyone was taken care of. Good hospitality is hard to find in this town, definitely worth a visit!
