"There are lots of overpriced, overrated spots in Dumbo, but Butler isn’t one of them. This all-day cafe is our go-to for a leisurely weekday breakfast, lunch with a laptop, or pastries and iced coffee before a walk along the waterfront. The wifi is fast, there are ample outlets, and the staff won’t bother you if you hang out and take Zoom meetings for a few hours. This is also a great low-key brunch spot if you don’t want to have to put on a whole outfit or make a reservation on a weekend morning. " - Willa Moore, Bryan Kim, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Hannah Albertine

This all-day cafe is our go-to for a leisurely weekday breakfast, a lunch with a laptop, or pastries and iced coffee before a walk along the waterfront. The wifi is fast, there are ample outlets, and the staff won’t give you side-eye if you hang out and take Zoom meetings for a few hours.

"The former Piora pastry chef offers baking classes at his second Butler location in Dumbo. Wander the wide, cobblestone streets of Dumbo after work one night and you might run into pastry chef Ryan Butler on his way to teach a baking class. Butler is the pastry chef of his Williamsburg—and now Dumbo—namesake cafés, Butler Bake Shop and Espresso Bar, which he co-owns with hospitality wiz Rod Coligado and design-mind Hugo Murray. Follow Butler down Water Street where you’ll find his new industrial-chic and otherwise-daytime location—open as of late August—well-lit and teeming with aproned couples mixing batters and doughs. Murray and a crew of young Brooklyn personalities are on hand to keep spirits high and the rosé flowing. The new Butler location is on 40 Water Street." - Marguerite Imbert
