  1. One of many cafes on Brooklyn's Myrtle avenue near Pratt. Several details help set Pillows apart from the others.

    1. Pillows! There are pillows everywhere!
    2. Outdoor seating area in the back. Features a few tables and a nice garden for an alfresco lunch/coffee.
    3. They whip up a mean peanut butter smoothie.

    I definately want to check out some of their sandwiches and salads in the future.

  2. The brunch was pretty good for the area. Inexpensive, yet tasty. I'd definitely recommend if you're the area. We spotted a celebrity here too 🙂

  3. Stopped by for a Chai latte – the drink itself was too sweet and middle of the road, but the vibe in the place is so very nice! Pillows in the windows for a homey effect, but It's a bar/coffee shop/restaurant so I would probably come back to experience more of that. Very friendly staff here willing to help you find the right drink for what you feel. A little overpriced but aren't all places like this?

  4. Pillow Cafe is the go-to neighborhood brunch spot.

    The food here is fresh, creative and delicious. Yummy frozen margaritas and mimosas with plenty of flavor options. Friendly staff, although the service is sometimes pretty slow. Worth the wait though, especially for the lovely backyard.

  5. I have found one of my favorite chai lattes in the neighborhood! It was so creamy and good… Although I did not get to eat here, I was sitting at the bar and watching all the food being made- everything looks healthy and delicious.

  6. Decided to come here for a Sunday brunch after Soco's long wait and was definitely not disappointed!

    Was seated right away at the cozy table by the window. Service was extremely slow but i am sure it is because it was understaffed and completely full of hungry patrons!
    For 3 people, we had avocado smash, and their two specials of the day, omelet with chorizo, peppers and cheese w/ homefries and omelet of shiitake mushroom, brie and baby kale. We also shared the bacon and cheddar waffle. The entrees took about 30mins to come but it was definitely worth the wait. My friends and I basically inhaled everything in 10 mins. I will come back just for the food.. but the wait for food needs huge improvement. Dont come if you are in a rush or not willing to wait.

  7. Came in one afternoon. They were not too busy. They had Bonnie Raitt playing. I was won over.
    Love that they have so many tropical flavor choices for their margarita.
    Only negative is if you sit by the bar you will leave smelling like whatever fried bacon they are making. Sit outside or at tables if this matters.  

    This is a brunch spot. Mostly salad and sandwich options. Think upgraded southern diner.
    Go out back and sip on sweet tea with a croissant while forgetting you are in Brooklyn. For a bit .

  8. Delicious iced coffee / cold brew. Huge cup full for $4. Hummus and Avocado wrap for $10. With tax and tip it was a bit expensive for a casual lunch but it was also nice to sit and relax for a bit. I'm weary of the pillow concept (really, I'd prefer to not be sitting against the same porous fabrics as the rest of New York – can I get a fresh pillow case and some Febreeze please…) but among the Myrtle Street options it's a solid pick for a sit-down lunch.
