Edith's Eatery & Grocery

"With its chalkboard accents and wood-paneled ceiling, this Jewish cafe/grocery store in Williamsburg looks like it’s been around for at least 75 years (despite having opened in 2022). The smoked arctic char here is thick and silky, and the custardy Syrniki pancakes are worth a trip all on their own. Served with tart currants and thick sour cream, the savory-leaning pancakes are perfect for anyone who's opposed to eating dessert for brunch." - Bryan Kim, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Nikko Duren

"Edith’s Eatery is from the people behind Edith’s Sandwich Counter, and it’s part cafe, part grocery store. You can grab a table up front and eat near a row of shelves stocked with Sahadi spice blends or go to the back where there’s a takeout counter with coffee and baked goods. For lunch, our go-to order is the chicken schnitzel served alongside warm, griddled cornbread, but there are also some great brunchy items like small, fluffy pancakes and smoked fish. The atmosphere is extremely casual and 1950s retro, and you can make a reservation for lunch (although you probably won't need one)." - Team Infatuation

"On a recent morning at Edith’s Eatery & Grocery, in Williamsburg, a full-service restaurant that evolved from a pandemic pop-up, I counted three babies." - Hannah Goldfield

"Per Instagram, the doughnuts are available at both Williamsburg locations of Edith’s — Sandwich Counter as well as Eatery & Grocery — though they run in limited quantities over the weekend." - Melissa McCart

"What started as a pandemic pop-up for bagel sandwiches eventually blossomed into Edith’s Sandwich Counter. Less than a year later, owner Elyssa Heller expanded with a sibling spot, Edith’s Eatery and Grocery, a more expanded, sit-down establishment (that, in my opinion, is better than her original). In early May, the restaurant launched a dinner program for those who want to sit at a table drinking zhug-doused margaritas and onion rolls ($8) — basically, adult savory cinnamon rolls that come with super spreadable ramp compound butter — in a room filled with shelves with dried pastas and pickled goods. Is it the modern day Zabar’s? No, but that shouldn’t stop you from having a great time. — Emma Orlow, reporter" - Eater Staff
