Brooklyn Cafe & Bar
Inside Brooklyn Cafe & Bar
Brooklyn Cafe & Bar in Puerto Vallarta’s Centro neighborhood offers a laid-back cafe atmosphere with a distinctly local-meets-New York vibe. It’s the kind of spot where the space itself is intimate but the energy is anything but small. Locals and visitors alike come for a casual meal, whether to start the day with a well-crafted breakfast or stop by for laid-back lunch and drinks just steps from the beach.
The menu leans into comfort food with a creative twist, featuring highlights like the Hook Fries, a satisfying spinach cherry tomato apple salad, and a grilled cheese sandwich served alongside crispy fries. There’s a balance between familiar favorites and fresh seafood options such as grilled fish dishes, making it a flexible choice for groups with varied tastes. Cocktails, including a thoughtfully mixed Bloody Mary, add to the convivial atmosphere, especially later in the day.
Brooklyn Cafe & Bar has earned a reputation for consistency, notably with their chicken wings — praised by customers as some of the best in Vallarta — as well as for the friendly, welcoming staff who make it a welcoming hub for both strangers and friends. The owner’s background brings a slice of New York warmth to the space, contributing to its neighborhood feel where regulars and newcomers can easily connect.
With seating for about 25 and a dog-friendly policy (provided pets are well-behaved), this spot works well whether you’re looking for a relaxed brunch with friends, a quiet coffee to get some work done, or an unpretentious evening hangout. Mornings and early afternoons tend to feel bright and casual, with fresh coffee and breakfast items drawing in locals and remote workers alike, while the evening environment shifts toward drinks and light bites in a cozy, sociable setting.
Overall, Brooklyn Cafe & Bar fits comfortably into the rhythm of Puerto Vallarta’s Centro district as a small but lively place where food is made with care, the service never feels rushed, and you might leave having made a new connection — all just a short stroll from the beach and the bustle of the town’s historic center.
