Mayfield
688 Franklin AveThe brunch is insane. Get the poached eggs, the burger, or the cuban.
Cute, quaint coffee shop. The owner also runs the bagle shop next door (the Nagle breakfast sandwich is VERY good), and Hullabaloo, the tiny book store across the street.

If you like Ramen, this place is maybe the best spot in Brooklyn. If there's a wait, just head across the street to Weather Up to wet your whistle while you put your name in and wait.
