Reviews for The Buren in Brooklyn, NY
Don?t let the photos fool you. Street bodega quality at twice the price. I live around the corner from this place and visit... frequently. The dirty Buren will charge $9 for a juice and cut it in half with tap water (photo below). The chicken sandwich isalso one of those stiff breaded chicken breasts made on Monday and left in the fridge to serve throughout the week. Best to saveyour money and go somewhere else. This is not really a place to grab a quick coffee or a beverage unless you have cash on handdue to the hefty card limit. A tip for when you visit in person is to beware that the menu is not as pictured on Google(different prices & dishes), the tables are dirty and the owner is a bulldog, no refunds, no exceptions, deal with it. Goodluck. Read more
The food here is consistently VERY good, and there aren't a lot of cafe-style places in the area, so it's great. Yes, prices are... very slightly high, but not completely out of control. My one big complaint is that it's not clear the proprietors totallyunderstand just how appealing the place is as a coffee shop style study/work location. They constantly play EXTREMELY loudeuro-style dance music while also having two TVs in a frankly pretty small room. This means that while it's great to come hereand sit outside when the weather's nice, it's pretty close to impossible to work in the inside space, making it much lessappealing during winter months.

I?m glad they have healthy-ish options on the menu. I came here after working out and it was pretty good. They use just a little... bit too much oil, but the quinoa salad was yummy. The advertise that they serve La Colombe coffee, but the iced coffee I got wasdefinitely not La Colombe. It tasted the same as a deli iced coffee. So perhaps only some coffees on their menu are La Colombe.Overall, a nice space with lots of outdoor seating and wheelchair accessible. Edit: after reading other reviews, it seems mypositive experience was abnormal so I have removed a star. I won?t be coming back. Read more
Food and venue are decent, prices could be better, but the real issue is how rude the dude is. Literally scolded me for asking... the wifi password to the cook - I did it because the waiter himself was on the phone. I'm not sure if this guy is the owner, amanager or a waiter, but it really made me not want to go back and let others know about it. Read more
This place has the best bagels I have ever had in my life, it was crunchy but also soft, unbelievable! Also the ambiance here is... so homey and cozy. Can?t wait to go back Read more
Over priced bec. They up charge you for an ok brioche bun. Cold brew was weak. Like total was $13. Not worth it. Walk farther to... a better spot. Read more
. It was my first time there and for sure not my last time. The espresso was really good and tasted like an espresso from... Europe, with a bitter end and sour. I had the Avocado toast - it was good and tasty, but nothing special. The music was superchill and fun and so is the service. Really nice spot Read more
