A gem of a bistro cafe! Came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning, and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The breakfast sandwich with sausage was perfectly spiced and the baguette bread fresh and crispy. The baked eggs with salmon was delicious- piping hot with potatoes and capers. A simple dish but elevated by the fresh ingredients and herbs. The service was friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere relaxed and informal. Will definitely be back.

Exactly what you want from a small, local bistro: friendly service and delicious food. I had the baked eggs with salmon, and my wife ordered the oft- and highly rated couscous—both incredibly flavorful and satisfying. A quaint, charming spot and a perfect stop while exploring Vinegar Hill and Brooklyn more broadly.

We had lunch here. A good Soup and a tomato egg plate with great freshly pressed orange juice with ginger, exceptional espresso and tea. Lauren was very nice creating us when we came in, even talking some Dutch Service friendly and efficient

These folks are awesome. Food and service were brilliant. The peanut sauce I had with the chicken satay – best peanut sauce I have ever had. Highly recommend!

I have been a long standing patron of Cafe Gitane being a Mott Street regular from back in the early 90’s. Vinegar Hill is the perfect spot for Luc’s restaurant vibe from the early days. Lovely all around.

Just recently opened my studio down the street, and was so very excited to try Cafe Gitane. It is so cute and delightful. It really felt like I had been transported out of New York. I can’t wait to bring others here for coffee, breakfast, lunch out on the sidewalk (which they have a very lovely set-up). Food is excellent, and their cappuccino is so so good. I’ve stopped by a couple times before work, to take one to go!

I really loved the Cafe!
Delicious food, beautiful and cozy place and great service.
They don’t take reservations, so you need to get there early.
The dishes were delicious, but the baked eggs with salmon could have more salmon.

Mixed feelings. The food was enjoyable, particularly the chicken satay, but the space was quite cramped and the service seemed a bit rushed. Visiting during an off-peak hour might provide a much better experience.

What. A. Find. Hard to know really where to start as I’m so in awe of this little gem.
First of all, I’ve only been once so far (going back day after writing this review).
As you can see it’s a small boutique style Café. Feels very French, the decor, food and therefore all up ambience. The service however was very American, as in good!!! Friendly, helpful and just a joy.
The food was fantastic, I had the veggie burger that was homemade with quinoa as opposed to a Beyond meat style burger. I have time for both but this was delicious. The side salad was complimented with the most amazing dressing. The options for vegan and vegetarian dishes are plentiful.
A great place to spend a brunch, lunch or dinner and I am very much looking forward to sampling as much of the menu as I can.
