Flora

Modern Brunch · Williamsburg, New York

$$March 29, 2026Williamsburg

Flora has figured out what most brunch spots haven't: that the food should be as good as the room looks. It mostly is.

Airy, plant-filled, and genuinely good — Flora earns its weekend queue.

The ricotta hotcakes are the move. The house-cured salmon Benedict is a close second. The coffee program is serious.

Minor gripe: no reservations. Arrive early or expect a wait.

The ricotta hotcakes — the dish that justifies the wait.

Standout Dishes

  • Ricotta hotcakes with stone fruit compote
  • House-cured salmon Benedict
  • Single-origin pour-over

What works

  • Genuinely seasonal menu that changes regularly
  • Coffee program is among the best in the neighbourhood
  • Staff are knowledgeable and unhurried
  • Natural wine list is a nice touch for brunch

Worth knowing

  • Weekend waits can stretch to 30+ minutes
  • No reservations accepted
  • Granola bowl is a weak link on an otherwise strong menu

We'd go back.

Yes — and earlier next time. Worth the wait.
