Brooklyn Ribbon Fries

We saw a table eating these fries and decided to get some too as it looked so good! Apparently they had a homemade ginger syrup drink that they are known for– it had already run out when we went. Super cute stand though! Very hipster looking.
The fries were cool as they were basically ribbon shaped– the potato is cut in a swirl so it is a super long piece. It was nice and crisp on the outside and soft on the inside– very airy as well. Great flavoring, but the seasoning was a little on the salty side.
The cashier was also super nice and friendly– we had a conversation with him as we were eating our fries. Definitely a cute spot to hang out and eat!

Brooklyn Ribbon Fries is one of the stores inside of 246 COMMON, an area where it’s a hipster-​like outdoor mobile/​trailer community in the middle of Omotesando. BRF has been around since October ’12, and they are known for their ‘Fries & Ginger Ale’ combo. Their menu offers a variety of ribbon fries (sea salt & fresh pepper, all spice, cinnamon & sugar, onion gratin soup powder, and even the option to do a mix of flavors). They also offer beverages such as the BRF ginger ale, ginger tea (hot or iced), hot apple ginger, and even alcoholic beverages (the mint julep and the lager). Depending on the line, once you put your order in, you wait for about 5 – 10 minutes for your fries to be ready — it is highly recommended for you to top your crispy fries with mayo. Definitely a cool place to check out for a ‘street food’ experience type of deal in this hip neighborhood!
