Gertie - Brooklyn

Fantastic experience at Gertie as always! The staff is so welcoming, food is great, and music is wonderful. They can get busy on the weekends so I recommend coming in earlier or on weekdays. The German potatoes are AMAZING and make it one of the best breakfasts in Brooklyn! It’s a clean restaurant with dine in and takeout options plus they offer delivery orders through Doordash so it always works.

It was 2 years ago since I last wrote a review for Gertie, so I thought I’d give it an update. I really love the bagels they have here. They are soft, light and chewy and can be ordered on a variety of tasty sandwiches. Recommend anything with fish. The smoked trout, with hot honey mayo and cream cheese was delicious (shown in the photo). The BLT that my buddy ordered was apparently excellent as well. Can’t go wrong with bottomless coffee refills either.

Ok this is not a good photo but the bagel was excellent and so fresh. But the real star of the show is the pickles something about the flavor of these is unique and totally amazing. I got the Abba sandwhich. I highly recommend this place. I sat here and did work for about 4 hours on a Wednesday and they kept refilling my coffee! So great. Love this place. Everything is fresh and homemade.

Love this spot for breakfast. Their salmon is DIVINE. I can’t recommend it enough (I think it’s served with some kind of caramelised onion? . Super nice staff and relaxed vibe too

Everything about Gertie is whimsical from the decor to the staff to the food. One leaves feeling extremely satisfied and satiated, no matter what you eat, but also very happy. It is clear that both the patrons and staff are having a good time. I have favorites the chicken salad, matzoh ball soup, chicken schnitzel, German Potato Fries, The Egg and Cheese but I also love trying new things on its menu, like the lemon ricotta pancake with bourbon syrup on weekends. Everything is always delicious. Add to this that the staff is socially conscious, preparing food for those in need, holding voting drives and fund raisers, most recently for Ukraine, and Gertie is hard to resist.
