Wednesday Food and Drink Round-Up

No, no, not that kind of sage. Saje, the new Crown Heights “Asian-fusion” cafe, serves breakfast, coffee, brunch, and dinner. Photo by Elizabeth jE via Flickr.

Saje
Park Place and Franklin, Crown Heights. (646) 393-5897.

A reader pointed us to Brooklynian’s Crown Heights message board for the latest chatter about Saje, the new coffee spot on Park Place that finally opened last weekend after a bit of a delay. Commenters are pleased as punch so far with the menu–which includes bagels, croissants, panini, and Gorilla Coffee–and were eager for Saje’s expansion into brunch territory last weekend. The owner reportedly also wants to add some organic selections and hold monthly tastings at the space.

Anyone here tried it yet?
After the jump: A new Clinton Hill bar offers massages to the drunken masses; Gimme! Coffee lives up to the hype.

Body By Brooklyn
275 Park Ave. at Washington Ave., Clinton Hill. (718) 923-9717.
“That I’m blotto during a massage may seem strange, but it’s all in a day’s drunkenness at Body By Brooklyn: 10,000 square feet of Clinton Hill chocolate factory carved into Russian and Turkish baths, then injected with a high-end lounge. It makes less sense than a puggle, but is just as oddly appealing.” [NY Press]

Gimme! Coffee
495 Lorimer St. (718) 388-7771.
“Not that Gimme Coffee needs any more publicity, but I went there the other day and I can say their coffees are damn fine. I tried the cappuccino and it tasted a lot like 9th Street Espresso in Manhattan with a somewhat chocolately taste and velvety finish. As someone who goes to great lengths for a great cup of joe, I’d say this is among the best I’ve had.” [Eating for Brooklyn]
