A new cafe has opened its doors in the neighborhood. Located at 387 Court St. in Carroll Gardens, the newcomer is called Madcap Cafe.
Owned and operated by former fine-dining chef Heather Fuller (Momofuku Ko, Per Se), this "all-day cafe" features Fuller's favorite snacks and meals, from veggie "nacho" crudites to pork and chive potstickers to mac and cheese. Service runs from breakfast through dinner, with coffee, tea, cocktails and mimosas on offer.
"It [has] its chef-owner’s charm and drive, and a small staff that radiates warmth throughout the wide, shallow dining room, which is furnished simply with a bar, a slatted-wood banquette, and a row of metal stools lining a ledge where curtained windows look out onto Court Street," notes Grub Street.
With a 4.5-star rating out of three reviews on Yelp so far, Madcap Cafe has already made a good impression.
Greg M., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 11, said, "Had the day off and figured I'd give this place a shot. I am now very pumped to have this spot down the street from me. The bacon, egg and cheese is an all star. Thick-cut bacon, perfect eggs and fluffy flatbread make a truly incredible $8 sandwich. "
And Candice E. said, "I stopped by for brunch and had the bacon, egg, and cheese flatbread that was delicious. The guy next to me had the biscuits and gravy that also looked amazing."
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Madcap Cafe is open from 8 a.m.–11 p.m. daily.
