Dominican Breakfast in Brooklyn With Mangu and Crispy Empanadas

Dominican breakfast in Brooklyn starts with a choice at Cafeteria Bklyn, smooth mangú or freshly fried empanadas with super crisp pastry shells. At 1153 Broadway, this neighborhood restaurant gives Dominican American classics room on the menu alongside waffles and eggs.

Order the mangú for a soft, savory start, then add a hot empanada for the crunch. Crispy pechurrinas widen the savory side, and a tropical milkshake makes the sweet finish for anyone skipping the waffles. The dining room is spacious for eating in, and the kitchen also handles delivery for mornings at home.

Prices stay inexpensive, and the hours suit early risers. Doors open at half past seven AM and close at half past five PM Monday through Friday, while Saturday and Sunday run from 8 AM to half past three PM. A weekday seat before work or a weekend plate before noon both fit the schedule.
