Ms. Dahlia's Is Home

Ms. Dahlia's Cafe - Bedford-Stuyvesant
449 Nostrand Ave., Brooklyn, NY

A small cafe with green chair pillows and pink ceilings provides a welcome bit of charm and flavor to the Bed-Stuy neighborhood. Ms. Dahlia's is more homey than hipster, more old-school than new-school, and more flavor than charm (though it is quite charming).



One word of caution, though. Ms. Dahlia specializes in biscuits and breakfast; desserts are not the forté. After two disappointing experiences with red velvet cupcake in a jar and Nutella pound cake, I don't think I will wait for a third strike on dessert. Nevertheless, this welcoming food parlor is worth a visit. I put my full backing behind the biscuits. Turkey bacon, heavy biscuits with flakey outsides and warm insides, and eggs any style. Throw on some gravy if you'd like--you'll die of a heart attack with a smile affixed to your face.
