Streetlevel: Orchid Cafe in Bed-Stuy

Talima Davis and Allison Lamb sent us a note mentioning that their new cafe, Orchid, will have its grand opening this Saturday, October 10. Offering a gourmet take on soul food, the menu, according to New York magazine, lists breakfast sandwiches on sweet potato biscuits (breakfast will be served all day at Orchid), five-cheese macaroni with panko crumbs, pistachio-crusted chicken, and personal pizzas with lamb, onions, or peppers. The owners add that the cafe will, of course, offer a variety of coffees and teas as well as pastries baked on site. GMAP

Bake your own bread fresh to sell and I'll be there every weeek.

Can't wait to try this place. Glad to see new businesses opening up in Brooklyn.

I saw this place a couple of weeks ago when I was on my way to a meeting. This is very exciting, because there isn't a lot (or any) of these types of businesses in this part of Bed-Stuy. The neighborhood needs it! I wish them the best of luck.

We're going to try it too. And on the Southern theme: We had a marvelous meal at Brooklyn Star last night, complete with Bad Brains soundtrack and a blue-fixture bathroom.

No Chicken & Waffles?

So excited for this. I just moved in around the corner and it'll be nice to have something SOOOO close! Hopefully this is just the beginning. I'd love a nicer supermarket.

Live nearby. Very excited about this place opening up. Menu sounds fab - inventive yet accessible.

We had brunch here today (saturday). It was very nice. The food was nicely prepared and the service was friendly and attentive. It was definitely a nice surprise for the neighborhood. Check it out if you can. I understand they are doing breakfast and lite dinner meals 7 days a week.

bad brains? gotta check that place out.

They get a big thumbs up.

Very tasty. Their dinner chicken entrees (pistachio-encrusted and spicy sauce) are comfort food without the heaviness.

Excellent.
