Great ambience and exquisite food! Cozy place. Excellent service. We met the chef and it is a pleasure to speak with a person like him. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for something nice and unique.
This place is AMAZING! so comfortable, so beautiful, such great staff - and the food is OUT OF THIS UNIVERSE! get the Jocon - a delicious chicken stew, and if that doesn't fill you up (you'll probably take leftovers home), try one of the phenomenal hot cocoas - made with rich & deep dark Guatemalan chocolate, with many varieties of particular flavors!
Unique food, great atmosphere and super friendly chef/owner.
This place is all love. Need to come back with a few others to enjoy more of the menu.
Everything was good; even the drip coffee. They care about every little detail in the food, service and atmosphere.
Winner!
Ix is definitely one of my top picks in Brooklyn. I've been here so many times because their soups are like comfort food for my soul. The broth has such depth, and the portions are always generous. Don't forget to try their toasted chili oil; it really elevates the flavors.
Good place. The pepian soup let the cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, pumpkin, and chicken stand on their own. Highly recommend. The ründstuck sliders had a pernil too dry for me. The tortilla de huevos had the kind of egg that is really fluffy and wide with crisp on both sides, which you either think is fun or think is weird. I think it's fun.
Coffee was good as well. The ambience is so cool, very much an inviting place to eat and socialize.
A taste of home away from home, a hidden gem in the area; this authentic Guatemalan restaurant with Mayan dishes is the best spot to stop before and after your Prospect park stroll. Gotta try all the different types of hot chocolate, each with a unique flavor. Grab one of their flavorful stews when hungry, or a well elaborated egg dish when starting your day. The taste of everything in this place is to die for. And don't forget to cheers with the very friendly staff with a cold Famosa, known as Gallo in Guatemala.
All day cafe. Filled with beautiful art and warm and cozy vibes. I enjoyed the ginger and cayenne cacao as well as the Jocon. Everything was so good. I will be back to try more of the menu and enjoy the space. Thank you
Absolutely love the food here! Can’t wait to try more things on the menu. We shared the melted cheese, which sounds kind of basic but was sinfully good, and the hot figs with goat cheese which was also absolutely delicious. The zingy salad was generous and fresh as well, and a nice balance to the decadent appetizers.
I definitely have to say - it's a very special place to visit - flavors and was a plus ... and their decorations create a very Guatemalan environment ** pepian + jokon + and hilachas ** they were amazing
Great place, love that they have so many non alcoholic options and also great regular drinks. Food was also very good, and very friendly servers. We will be going back!
Great little spot! It’s perfect for a quiet, weekday breakfast or brunch on the weekends with family/friends. So far, I’ve been there twice and have liked everything I tried. This evening, I enjoyed some live music, over appetizers and sangria, with my niece and her family. Very relaxing atmosphere.
This place has my heart forever. Food is made with love and intention besides being delicious. They also have a cacao bar 😍😍🤍
Amazing Guatemalan food! Loved it here! Great ambience & atmosphere. Beautiful interior decor with so much color and life. Place is tight though. Inside and outside dining available. Loved the cardamom cocoa, but wasn't a fan of the iced chai.
Got one of the most recommended soups. The soup/stew was devine! The green eggs sandwich was delicious! The service was a little slow but definitely will return & Highly recommend.
The flavors of this restaurant are so new and fresh to me. It makes me want to go to Guatemala immediately. The soups are out of control delicious. If you’re dining with another person and you can each order a different soup and ask them to divide it and you can try two. I’ve tried all the soups now and always go with the same person. The tres leche is probably the best I’ve ever had. So so good.
Got hungry walking through the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, went to Google to get to a good sit-down eatery, found this. What a treat! The reviews are spot on- the Pepian was superb, but the Jocon was amazing and stole the show. The hot chocolate was just the right balance is sweetness. The lavender hot chocolate was a nice twist to the old recipe. We finished with a round of rosemary churros - perfect ending!
Really fantastic, fresh and hot food. Cacao is absolutely divine and melts in your mouth in a wonderful chocolatety goodness. The beans they serve at the beginning and the melted cheese is fantastic too
Delicious jocón and pepián (the jocón was our favorite), & mole plantain dessert, with an all-over-the-place menu I’ve never not been pleasantly surpised by. Ask for the chili oil if it’s not on your table, it’s unreal. I’m going to buy a jar next time I stop by. Very sweet workers—tip them well! I miss living around the corner from this place.

Ix is such an amazing place to dine, I spoke to the owner who is very humble and kind, he wanted to start ix as a Mexican restaurant but eventually slowly introduced it as a Guatemalan cuisine. I have to say that their food is very tasteful! Their chocolate drink is to die for! I had them put ice since it was summer in New York and I needed a cold drink but not frozen slushy, they are very accommodating to my request. All the staff are very welcoming and respectful, definitely a must go if you want to try authentic Guatemalan food in Brooklyn!
I Definitely recommend getting the jocón. It’s a bangin chicken stew that is so large, it could feed two people. It has a little acidity from the tomatillos and nuttiness from the pumpkin seeds. You should Definitely ask for the hot sauce on the side. I ended up buying a container to go cause it was that good. I can’t wait to come back here to try more of their soups and hot chocolates especially in the wintertime. The prices are affordable and the food is delicious
I'm thrilled to give this small Guatemalan cafe restaurant a 5-star review! The food here is simply outstanding, offering a delightful and unique experience for brunch. The diverse Guatemalan flavors and dishes bring a refreshing change to the usual brunch options. The cozy ambiance and attentive service make it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. From traditional Guatemalan breakfast items to mouthwatering specialties, this cafe has it all. If you're looking to explore something different and delicious for brunch, I highly recommend giving this hidden gem a try!
