Lait Cafe

The place is new and working itself out. I had a vegetable calzone type thing. It was ok. I’m hoping the manager reads this, I’d like to give some advice. If you are targeting the kosher population that works in DT Brooklyn than you need to sell good food at a decent price and get people in the door. I think your price point is too high right now to even get people through the door. I personally witnessed two people look at your menu and leave. You have a great space that can hold alot of people, go for volume. Offer lunch specials, offer both high and medium end dishes and entrees. Make sure that the food in the showcase looks fresh. When I was there, all the pizza looked «iffy» and certainly not fresh, though my dish was pretty ok. This needs to be a place that the kosher population can eat at more than once in a while, otherwise you will go the same route as the restaurant that was there before you.

Ordered a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese and lox. First I was given an everything bagel. I sent that back and then I was given a toasted bagel when I didn’t ask for it to be toasted. The bagel was hard. Very disappointed for such a pricey breakfast.

The cashier didn’t know how to take my order and had to ask the kitchen staff. Once I had order she asked me what my order was (again) even though I had paid. The coffee was average. I would not go back at all…

I only tried iced coffee there, it’s great. I hear it comes from Colombia, and best of all, it’s kosher. Their staff is very friendly. I’m yet to try their food. So update is coming…
