“ When you enter it's a cute boutique collection of locally made treats and gifts. Towards the back is a seated area, maybe 20 people at most. The music was joyful and relaxing. The people were welcoming. I made reservations for a Sunday brunch with friends. Kitchen closes at 3:30pm so be sure to get there on time! The food was portioned perfectly - no one felt stuffed or hungry, just satisfied. Their sangria has been buzzing in my ear from others so I had to try it. Got a carafe of pomegranate sangria and it did not disappoint. My gingerbread French toast was so good with sausage. I had a bite of the Benedict bowl and I see why it's a popular dish. And the biscuit was SO fluffy. Friend had the special egg nog waffles and we're pretty sure egg nog was also in the whipped cream?! HoM, pls verify! With a monthly seasonal menu, how can I not make plans to come back exactly 4 weeks from now? And the shop is filled with something for everyone, even furry friends, so I'd make this my one stop shop for presents! ”

“ Great food that's always fresh made! The owner and chef are super friendly and the menu changes monthly based on what the chef determines. The tea menu is also amazing with many great flavors and can be made iced or hot. Love it! ”

“ It's a nice little shop that has a cafe in the back. They have tables for seating in their backyard as well. They have some items for sale in the shop: candles, scents, notebooks etc. Street parking only. But it shouldn't be hard to find parking in that area. They only accept Venmo or cash. Service was ok. It was a little slow on that day. We waited like 30min after placing our order before food was brought up. They served a complementary corn bread. It's pretty good. 8/10. Ham and jam panini: 7/10. The jam taste is little too overpowering. But I adored the heart shape panino. 1 extra point for the effort Pina colada waffle: 5/10. A little too sweet. The waffle was a little saggy. The bacon was a little too salty. I didn't taste any pina colada flavor. Watermelon mimosa: 6/10. no watermelon flavor. The champagne is not bad tho The blueberry lemonade margarita: 8/10. Smooth and good flavor. ”

“ This restaurant/store is an absolute GEM in Bay Ridge. The food is surprising - you would find this quality more in Manhattan than in a neighborhood like this. Consistently fresh, perfectly cooked and so many flavors. The chef is really a step above and a SUPER friendly person. Refers to you by name and maintains an amazing attention to detail. Brunch faves are the chicken empanadas and the french toast. They also have a delicious muffin/bread basket - and you get that when you order takeout, too !!!! - with orange marmalade and perfectly room temp butter. The store offers an eclectic mix of carefully curated candles, jewelry, etc. The proprietor who works at the front cashier is wonderful! Friendly, funny, warm and welcoming. When you visit, you feel as though you are standing in their 'HOM' (pun intended :) ) and that's a rare throwback quality in retail/food service that I wish was more common. Thank you both for an outstanding business! ”

“ A quirky, intimate, and lively space in bay ridge that is a true hidden gem! Is it a handcraft and apparel store? Is it a cafe with Latin themed food? Is it fun? Yes to all the above! Tip: make sure you have cash or venmo ”

“ We visit this place at least once a month the menu changes and it's always delicious and fresh. We decided to booked HOM for our baby shower, and I must say, the food surpassed all expectations. The quality was exceptional, and the staff's attentiveness made the experience truly outstanding. Every detail was taken care of, ensuring a memorable celebration. ”

“ BEST OF THE BEST ! With no expectations, we walked through the clothing and antique store to get to the restaurant in the back. I felt like I was having brunch in a friend's house with her mom cooking for us in the back. So much attention from the staff. The food is so delicious and made with love. The bread is warm, the coffee freshly made. The cranberry pancakes and the Santa Fe benedicts hmmm... can't wait too go back to try more on the menu. Best brunch I had in years! And a brunch a lot ! ”

“ A really cute place where the front half of the store is a shop that has products that include candles, accessories and other things. The back half is a cute brunch place with the kitchen. They also have outdooring seating further in the back. FYI: Cash or Venmo Only! When seated they will provide you water and a basket of complimentary everything bagel with butter and slices of loaf cake. That's a plus! The staff were really friendly and kept checking up on us. The chef even came by to ask if the food was good! We ordered the Cinnamon Churro Waffles on the 'Our Homade Brunch Specials' Menu ($19.95), which was topped with whipped cream, chopped pineapples and dulce de leche sauce. Also served with your choice of bacon, ham, or sausage (whis is what we got). Also ordered the Mushroom & Swiss Burger on the 'Our Homade Brunch' menu ($18.95) that came with a side salad. The burger was huge so it was great for sharing and we asked for medium well, and it was perfect! Had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back! ”

“ I haven't been here in 3 years although it remains as one of the top places to have brunch in Bay Ridge. Damien the chef is always welcoming his guests and continues to come up with fresh ideas in the dishes he offers. It's good to see he loves what he does. If you've never been here it's interesting as HOM is a restaurant and an eclectic gift shop rolled into one. The place is always clean, cozy, has a very attentive staff and most of all the food is extremely fresh. Everything is cooked from scratch. They offer about a dozen regular brunch choices, 3 home made specials, a good selection of teas, coffees, wines, marguerites, and beer. We had the great pumpkin pancakes which were served with whipped cream, and granola. We also had the grilled chicken wafflewhich that is made with spicy chicken, mixed greens, tomato, zesty siracha, a medley of fresh fruit and turkey bacon . Every was AWESOME and the portions are shareable. Very enjoyable experience and relaxing. I would highly recommend HOM. ”
