Baby Blues Luncheonette Opens With Greek Diner Food … – Eater NY
Reviews
This restaurant is styled as a traditional luncheonette with a counter and table seating. The atmosphere is definitely a highlight but the space is small and I can imagine it fills up VERY quickly on weekends. On this visit we enjoyed the banana date shake, an iced coffee, the Sparta plate, the Zorba plate, the blueberry and cream pancakes and the baklava banana waffles.
The banana date shake is rich and creamy with a perfect, deep sweetness from the dates and a comforting scent from the banana. The shake should be served with a larger/boba straw as it is impossible to drink through the one provided. There were some larger date chunks at the bottom that should have been blended a bit more.
The iced coffee was notable as it was nicely sweet even without sugar. I really enjoyed my coffee.
The Sparta plate is served with savory eggplant patties that provide a texture reminiscent of sausage patties. The eggs served at this restaurant are visible good quality with golden orange yolks and rich velvety textures. There is also a red pepper sauce which works well with everything on the plate. The plate is flavorful but I would probably choose a different option next time. The serving is too light and I am not vegetarian so there isn’t a reason for me to get it again.
The zorba plate is much heavier and just as delicious. A plate with halloumi is always appreciated and this dish delivers on all fronts of flavor.
The baklava banana waffle is great but the description is a bit off. I wouldn’t say it’s heavily baklava, more candied pecans/walnuts. Delicious but it would be complete with a honey forward butter syrup. The flavor profile just needed some completion.
The blueberry and cream pancakes are fluffy and tender. The blueberries are excellent quality and the cream cuts through the heavy textures to balance the dish. Really delicious and classic.
The price point here is JUST a little bit high. I had two full plates of food and had room to spare when I left. For two people it was over $100 which is just a lot for breakfast food and nothing here is hefty.
The food was fantastic and you could tell they used good quality ingredients. The Zorba platter was filling, fresh, and hit the spot. The blueberry baby cakes were amazing.
There was a funny picture frame in the bathroom titled Baby of the year with a Google review of someone who said the food was great, but the service was bad. Just found that funny; nothing else to say.
Zorba Plate – Loved the variety, but the potatoes took up the majority of the plate. Still, everything was really good and well-seasoned. I just wish it came with more pieces of halloumi.
Like a Greek Bagel – Came with a long piece of crispy sourdough instead of an actual bagel. It was creamy and zesty, served with a side of smoked salmon.
Blueberry Baby Cakes – Fluffy and amazing; no syrup needed. So good!
Will be back if I venture out to Williamsburg again.
Not gonna lie… this place surprised me
Baby Blues Luncheonette has the best cozy diner vibe, and the food is honestly a 10/10. Come hungry, you’ll want to order everything!
Must order when you go:
Frappe
Plato / Zorba plate
Baklava banana bread
Very very long lines so would recommend going during off peak times (aka not saturday and sunday morning) otherwise you may be waiting for over an hour – they do not take resos – worth waiting but one time I went the hospitality was not great because the staff were likely overwhelmed and since they’re busy they don’t “need” your business so that sucked a bit, but all in all yummy spot, nice staff in a general sense, and good spot to have in the neighborhood!
