I have no complaints from the pasta dishes I get there, nor the service. It's one of the few restaurants in the area where I'm even a regular at this point. <br /><br />As for One East, great espresso and space. Happy that it has a liquor license - think only Bien Cuit is the only other cafe that has one in the area? <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-25492057261015138902017-04-19T16:07:06.815-04:002017-04-19T16:07:06.815-04:00I've lived in the hood for 10 years and this i...I've lived in the hood for 10 years and this is something we've desperately needed - a nice place to grab a good drink, breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, pastry with a balanced mix of healthy and hearty dishes. Williamsburg has places Decent prices (it's NYC in 2017 - I think some of you have been living under a rock), appealing aesthetic, easily accessible and kid friendly without feeling like it's made for kids. Williamsburg has places like this on every corner (maybe minus the kid-friendly part) and Carroll Gardens has been long overdue for something in this vein. I've already been 4 or 5 times and expect this to be part of my neighborhood routine. My 2yo daughter loves the pancakes (she called them eats one)!<br /><br />Wishing them tons of success. Hopefully others will follow suit instead of opening more junky nail salons, or sub-par sushi/italian/thai restaurants run by ppl with zero restaurant experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-34681992792246692752017-04-18T20:42:35.950-04:002017-04-18T20:42:35.950-04:00I will never understand why so many people are so ...I will never understand why so many people are so angry in this hood each time a new place open... All the Carroll garden "native" that are complaining about the gentrification, but don't care of raising the rent of the rent from the family owned building to $6000 for a three bedroom. Yes, I do agree that East roast is too expensive, but they are bringing a new lively spot at this corner. And I do prefer to pay a bit more for really good food rather than a $15 very average pasta dish at Fragole.<br />That say, good luck to East Roast, can't wait to try it!<br />(from a french in the hood for 15 years)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-14623855547132862582017-04-18T08:43:55.129-04:002017-04-18T08:43:55.129-04:00Anon, 5:59, East Roast is currently roasting their...Anon, 5:59, East Roast is currently roasting their coffee off site, so it is their own coffee. They will start firing up the roaster at the location this week. They were just waiting for the final hook-up from National Grid.<br />They applied for a liquor license during the renovation of the space. A full bar was always part of their concept.<br /><br />Katiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484246196723019291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-10701970333703948162017-04-18T05:59:49.355-04:002017-04-18T05:59:49.355-04:00Liqueur license so fast?

In any event I applaud them for not installing a big plastic sign.
