We had breakfast here and it was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the Butler Avocado Toast, and it was honestly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. The combination of flavors was incredible — the creamy avocado, feta, roasted seeds, and the lemon poppy tahini worked perfectly together. Every single component was spot on and beautifully balanced. I’ve never had an avocado toast like this before. Highly recommended for breakfast or brunch!

Butler has been go to for years! The food is fresh, the baked goods are delicious, and you can ask them to toast, almost anything which I really enjoy! The staff is also consistently kind and I love that you can make a delicious breakfast plate for under $15! For New York City, that is unheard of. I highly recommend.

We had breakfast there several times during our holiday in New York. The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. We always felt very comfortable and can highly recommend Butlers! Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪 Lara & Tobias

Every time I visit my son in Williamsburg, Butler is a given. From the variety of beverages to the delicious food offerings, I never have a bad experience there. Most recently, I had their hot chocolate, and it's the best I've ever had. The staff is super-friendly and knowledgeable too!

A coffee shop that deserves its high rating! We stopped by Butler to have a light snack and coffee. Ample seating. Got the corner table, super aesthetic location and even better delicacies. Tiramisu latte was the best blend of sweet and bitter, and the avocado lemon thyme cake was just phenomenal. Melts in your mouth!! Barista was very sweet.

It was open early, which made it perfect for a morning coffee. We had an oat milk latte and a slice of cake, both were good. We arrived just before the big rush though. After 7:30 a.m., finding a seat would be difficult. Great location (We went there after watching the sunrise at the Brooklyn Bridge.)

Stopped by randomly and absolutely loved it. Great food, staff were friendly (always great to experience that first thing in the morning), and bumping atmosphere. Even had a cute view of the Brooklyn Bridge. Definitely worth trying this place out!

Breakfast empanada ! Bravo, it was outstanding. Classy decor at the center of Dumbo. Awesome service, awesome view of the Brooklyn Bridge. Food is made in house, clean, easy parking. If needed, an excellent restroom. Inside and outside seating available along with a walk up window for ease.

Butler is a fantastic place for a coffee & snack. They offer a comprehensive menu of sweet & savory dishes & the service is quick & efficient despite it being a busy place. There is outside seating which offers great views of the bridge. A little pricey maybe but worth it for the fresh food and wonderful views. A great place to soak up the atmosphere of the DUMBO area!

Great Café in Dumbo. If you are lucky you have a the Brooklyn Bridge as a View. You get called by your Name for Drinks If you want to sit. Nice staff. Lot of locals. The "Petite French Toast" was incredible. Very good Coffee. 100% recommended :)

I had brunch at Butler in Dumbo and loved the experience! I ordered the avocado toast and tried the pastry French toast—both were delicious. They have many pastry options to choose from, which is great if you’re craving something sweet. The outdoor seating offers a beautiful view of the bridge, making the vibe even better. The staff was great, and my hot latte was just right. A perfect spot for a relaxing brunch with a view!

Wow the view from this shop!! We ordered a latte, London fog, and a triple chocolate croissant which took me to food heaven 🤤 It was ‘too sweet’ but that’s how it should be with this one!! Staff were very nice and friendly. Interior is very cute, modern and stylish at the same time. Great place especially on a rainy day! Also spacious and plenty of seating available.

Cozy cafe in a nice location at Dumbo with nice breakfast and bakery options. We went there at a late morning after a lovely walk at Dumbo(recommended). We had avocado toast, latte and cinnamon roll. Food was good with a lovely presentation. Service was excellent. Atmosphere is lovely too. A little bit pricey as you might expect. Recommended. 7/12/22

Very friendly service. (Five stars would mean they remember you and know the locals - living in dumbo with two young kids, we go thru waves of coming here on the weekends sometimes every week). Food, pastries and coffe great.

Cute breakfast spot and very good coffee. Espresso was strong, smooth and not bitter Didn’t have the chance to eat at this spot, however breakfast options from diners looked very giod and with generous portions. Must try again for breakfast.

Short Take: Great little stop if you’re just grabbing a quick coffee. Food 🍽️: Cappuccino and pistachio latte were both really good. Service 🤝: Service was solid, and the wait time was totally fine. Ambience ✨: Pretty standard setup, but the place is clean and well kept. Price–Performance ⚖️: Prices are fair for what you get. Highlight / Note 📌: Super close to the Brooklyn Bridge — perfect location. Who it’s for: Friends, family, quick lunch.

Such a perfect spot for a brunch date in Brooklyn 😊 Great coffee, super fresh brunch dishes, and the location is ideal 🙆‍♀️ right by DUMBO, so it’s perfect for a walk after you eat ☕🥗✨

A beautiful cafe with a gorgeous view of Brooklyn Bridge and generous amounts of seating. The chai was amazing! And I really enjoyed the chili scone and my partner loved the egg empanada. A lovely spot to relax for an hour or so during a slow morning. My partner and I came here for an early lunch, but upon encountering a limited section of vegetarian options aside from a stonefruit salad or avocado toast, we settled for just getting pastries and drinks.

Nice location, pretty spacious and bright interior. They serve intelligentsia coffee and house made pastries. I ordered their iced flat white which was good but they gave it in a 16oz cup which seemed careless.

Top tier customer service. Everything else was good but not so good I’d recommend it to anyone who was more than 4 blocks away. If you’re in the immediate area and want a standard-not-great breakfast or latte with a great view, this is your spot.

Got the breakfast sandwich. The bread was interesting. I personally didn’t like it but I respected the choice instead of just having a generic bun. However, the eggs and bacon and cheese and sauce were sooo underwhelming. It seriously made me feel like I was just lighting money on fire. Atmosphere is fine tho on the stuff side. Coffee was good.
