Brooklyn Dim Sum with Point and Order Ease
Order broth filled dumplings and sticky rice in lotus leaf, with milk tea to round out a quick brunch.
🥟 A Counter Full Of Choices
Golden Sands Cafe puts a casual Brooklyn dim sum brunch behind a straightforward bakery counter at 1924 Avenue U. The setup is smaller than a traditional dim sum hall. Glass cabinets keep the choices on display, and the counter lets you point to your picks instead of navigating a massive dining room.
Broth filled xiao long bao, open top shumai, and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf bring several directions to the menu. There is also zhaliang, Chinese fried dough, plus savory rib tips in black bean sauce. A cup of hot coffee and pastries give your order room for a bakery detour.
Mornings draw busy crowds, though the counter moves quickly for a short brunch stop. For an early start, the cafe opens daily from half past six AM until 6 PM. Milk tea is another drink to pair with your picks at this Chinese bakery.
