I would like to thank everyone that comes to this small family business, we're one the few families left in Fort Greene and will continue to fight to stay in a gentrified neighborhood. I don't understand how some people just show up and think they can bully you out. The staff are kind, humble, and hard working people. Look at the last inspection, 2 points, that's why we're open. I will continue to improve anything that I can, from making sure we have fair prices to an amazing meal. Open to any suggestions and ways to improve my business Thank you

I love this place. Great service, fair prices and amazing food. My go to in the morning is the açaí bowl with Nutella (always loaded with fruit!) and the chicken quesadilla for lunch. UPDATE: the Al pastor burrito is amazing too!

UPDATE: adding a star for service because of the awesome Nicole behind the counter! She's so sweet. Martha's doesn't have decaf iced coffee but she made me one special and it was DELICIOUS. Really appreciate her! TLDR this is the perfect place to invite your friends for a cute brunch. We love the food here, breakfast and lunch/dinner items are all great! The tacos Al pastor they had for Cinco were I hope those become a permanent menu option! Service can get overwhelmed (it's a small space and gets busy at peak times) but everyone is super sweet and friendly. I'd love to see them add staff and extend their hours but also appreciate that their prices are very reasonable and those are hard/expensive things so I'm grateful for what we have!

Acai bowl is on point however I will prefer more coconut flakes if I'm paying xtra for it. The breakfast sandwiches were good according to my kids. The service was quick and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our order and everything was correct, so no complaints there. The atmosphere seems peaceful, cozy, and relaxing. Definitely want to come try a meal here for lunch and dinner.
