This secret menu item, the Vegan Spartan Warrior, is my favorite sandwich in the whole city 🔥😂 smart bacon, perfect tofu, lots of avo, spinach, vegan cheese and vg mayo 🌱 ask for it on the onion ciabatta bread!!

Customer service was top tier. Very inviting/welcoming. The ambiance was very nice & clean. They have outlets so you can charge your phone. And of course the food was very good. Definitely worth the price! I’ve already been here multiple times & would go back again. I’ve gotten eggs w/avocado & sweet potato. And eggs w/avocado & carrots w/ chipotle sauce & balsamic vinaigrette, salt & pepper. Very good.

This is my favorite go to spot for lunch and breakfast. I’m obsessed with the “Peanut butter jelly time” protein shake. The meals preps is jackpot for me. With 20$ toy get 4 meals. Are you kidding me ? When I was introduced by this place by my coworker I instantly became a fan. Great food, inexpensive, great atmosphere, it has a super chill outdoor patio, great staff. Shout out Valeska for always taking my orders with a smile. They also have a rewards program when you get 50 points you get 5$ that you can use to your orders. I literally go there every day for lunch. I highly recommend this place. - Benny

I started a dog walking route in the neighborhood recently, and Brain Food is the perfect spot to stop for lunch. Definitely one of the most affordable options in the neighborhood! Food is relatively inexpensive and lots of healthy options - I usually go for the BAE. I love that there’s plentiful seating including a cute courtyard and lots of outlets, along with a clean bathroom. The staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to recognize regulars. Shout out to the crew for remembering my order and seeming genuinely happy to see me!

Wish I had discovered this place sooner because it has become my favorite spot in the area! The staff is incredibly friendly and such a pleasure to be around. They are spot on with their recommendations. It’s RARE to find a place this healthy and delicious, while still being affordable. I’ve tried a number of their dishes and everything has been amazing. I’m constantly craving the BBQ Chicken Bowl so I order it every day. The Chicken Parm Grilled Cheese with a side of Tomato Soup is absolutely a must try. Other favorites: Honey Garlic Bowl, Peanut Butter Jelly Time protein shake, King Kong açaí bowl. I can’t recommend this place enough. The food, staff, and price point are the reasons I come here every day for lunch.

A blessing of a restaurant in this area! Delicious nutritious food, good portions, and great prices. You’re lucky if you can get avocado toast for less than $17 these days, but I was able to get that plus a generous helping of sweet potato home fries for $10+tax, and it was so good! I also love their turkey cheddar sandwich for lunch. They also have an incredible selection of pre-packaged salads, wraps, fruits, and bowls for meal prep that they sell 4 for $20! Nearly a week’s worth of work lunch for $20 total is unbelievable. I hope they stick around.

I had a jackfruit sandwich that was really spicy, but it ended up being delicious! Their smoothies are definitely a 10/10. What surprised me the most is that I’ve passed by this place so many times without noticing it. I really wish I had discovered it sooner!

GOOD FOOD THAT’S FOR FOR YOU 🥗 Wow!!! This is a hidden secret on Court Street in a busy / hectic area near the court building. Their backyard is an oasis and the best backyard I’ve seen in a grab & go restaurant cafe. A great place to meet in the morning. Great healthy food options like acai bowls and smoothies. They have meal prep food 🥘 that is a steal! Each plate is $5 and they have a microwave for customers to heat it up. I have skipped past this place for years because the name is confusing but glad I finally walked in and tried their stuff. The food and atmosphere is great for quiet space and healthy eats. Highly Recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this spot, icing on the cake is it serves halal food. Food tastes good, lots of options for breakfast/brunch/lunch as well as meal prep at five dollars per container. The coffee was delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

My favorite breakfast place in the neighborhood. I love everything about Brainfood. Healthy options, fast service, amazing staff and delicious food. The prices are also great. They have so many options for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and they even have meal plans and smoothies. My go-to breakfast option is the sweet potato home fries special with an over easy egg and turkey bacon- it’s so good and costs under $7 with a coffee! If you’re ever in the neighborhood, try them. This spot is a hidden little gem. Wish they would open a spot in Bushwick 🤞🏼

Hello, Love this place but please bring back the $5 Meal preps. I paid $6 and it just doesn’t feel the same. Thank you.

The past few times I have been here, I haven't been disappointed. The food is amazing and the workers are cool. I would say that the turkey melt could use a little more turkey, but that's nitpicking. Other than that, great place for a healthy lunch.

The jerk chicken bowl was delicious. However, it didn’t come with the KALE in the basmati rice as stated in the menu. Also, I ordered a strawberry shortcake smoothie. They added PEANUT BUTTER to it which is a allergen and I could’ve SIMPLY SUED because of this. There isn’t even peanut butter in the smoothie so why in the world would you add. Would not return
