Bruce & Son

“Great brunch spot - we didn’t have reservations on a Sunday morning but grabbed counter seats. Service was casual and friendly but we were confused upon being told that barista drinks, including earl grey tea, were not available and that we could only order drip coffee. Said coffee was great but we were perplexed as our counter seating was directly next to the barista station, where the gal continued to send out lattes and other bevs to the rest of the restaurant for the duration of our meal. Not a huge issue but we would have loved to order a latte or otherwise as the menu looked great. We’re also in the industry and are open to giving the benefit of the doubt but were bummed to see the rest of the tables getting drinks that we were told weren’t available.”

“Bruce & Son in Greenport was a must stop on our visit from Pennsylvania. My partners birthday breakfast was the perfect reason to go. We've tried and failed to get in during busier season visits. But we persevered and snagged the window table on a very cold January Saturday morning. Front of House Manager Dennis was also our server was a delightful guy. He helped us with our menu choices and asked if we were celebrating anything. Stephen acknowledged it was his birthday. We both ordered the Bourbon Lattes, then the Carrot Lox Sandwich, Bacon, Eggs and Cheese Sandwich and shared a side of Herbed Potatoes hit the table. Our lattes arrived hot, creamy, delicious and decorated with coffee beans floating in the luscious foam. The food arrived a few minutes later. Stephen's Carrot Lox Sandwich arrived with a birthday candle and kind words from Dennis. The birthday boy was beside himself by how unique and delicious his sandwich was. Super thin mandolin sliced carrots are smoked and dressed then stacked with all the fixing between two toasted thick slices of Rye bread resulting in the Carrot "Lox" Sandwich. My Bacon, Egg & Cheese was...Hands down the BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH I'VE EVER HAD. Perfectly cooked dippy eggs, thick sliced crispy bacon, creamy melty cheese, greens and a mustardy aioli and crunchy fennel I think between a soft buttery Brioche Roll. Simply Devine! Don't sleep on the Side of Herbed Potatoes. We shared an order. Wish we ordered 2. These are the first cravable breakfast potatoes. Creamy, buttery, and herby...they actually melt in your mouth. Order a couple for the table. Ask for salt. Hit the spuds with a pinch of sea salt and enjoy the crunch The reason to visit the rock stars at Bruce & Son is there is absolutely NO reason not to.”

“A MUST in Greenport. Every time we’re in town we are sure to stop here for brunch. The egg sandwich is incredible - the sugar bacon, pickled onions, and dijonnaise just elevate this from a normal egg sandwich so something so flavorful. They also have a fun selection of coffees/teas. My husband is so picky with his bacon but he always says they make it perfectly. The staff is also very friendly and attentive.”

“Bruce has an incredible brunch. The summer succotash Is delicious… Also, the BLT cannot be beat. The sugar bacon is a must try. We also enjoy delicious latte, and iced green tea. The staff is happy and friendly. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in Greenport!”

“The brunch itself was excellent, but I will add to the chorus of people here saying that they don’t appreciate the surcharge for the credit card. Even if it is noted somewhere, why? I understand that the credit companies are charging some businesses more, but please bake that into the menu, rather than charging a fee. I love brunch, and I’m willing to pay for a interesting brunch with lots of creative offerings, but, I have several friends who are cooks and servers who joke about brunch because they charge pretty decent prices for basically very inexpensive ingredients, hot cakes, potatoes, Coffee etc. So I’m assuming the profit margin on brunch should be pretty good. Give us a break and don’t charge the credit card fee. It’s not worth the bad will. Also, would they really rather have cash? On to the food. There were three of us. The hot cake was very good. I love splitting something like a Dutch baby or a hot cake, so we all get a bite. This was well done. There were two egg sandwiches and a BLT. Each sandwich was about $18. The drinks were outstanding. Although I know quite a few cafes are offering mushroom lattes now (Mushroom seems to be having a moment, just as turmeric was Last season) I was not tempted to try it, because I love good Vietnamese coffee. And they did a beautiful job with it. So overall, the food was good. Creative, well done, and my drinks were also excellent, but let’s just not charge that credit card fee. Also, things are rather expensive, the sandwiches again were $18, and that did not include the herb roasted potatoes which we got as a side item for $8. Making brunch expensive, but absolutely delicious and creative! Also, our server was attentive…at first, and then waned a little bit throughout the meal. But, thankfully there were not many patrons, (which perplexed me, because we did have to make reservations and I had heard it’s normally busy) and so we were able to flag her down when we needed her.”
