A Po’Boy with a purpose 🧡 This Hunger Action Month, STRANGE DELIGHT is putting action on the menu. All September long, $5 from every Fried Green Tomato Po’Boy will be donated to Food Bank For NYC.
Because too many New Yorkers are still going without, and we need our whole city to show up. ➡️ So come hungry, bring a friend, and help make a difference one Po’Boy at a time.
📍 Strange Delight, 63 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn

Some sad news: after tomorrow, we’re pausing cafe service for the foreseeable future as we gear up for some new things (wink, wink .nyc nudge nudge).
Tomorrow will be the last day of 8 am service and the last day to get a morning bun (for now). Starting next weekend, we’ll open for brunch/lunch starting at 10:30 am Sat and Sun, and we’ll continue to be open for dinner 7 nights a week.
Come by for one last good mornin’ bun tomorrow, and thanks to everyone who supported our lil cafe run. We had a blast.

Some sad news:
We are suspending weekday cafe service for the time being as we think through our future with daytime programming. The realities of sustaining a second, materially different business out of Strange Delight were more difficult than we hoped, especially given a dip in traffic in an already very competitive environment.
The good news is we will still have a pastry program with all the cafe classics plus some new creations on the weekends, and we’re going to double down on our sweet program for brunch and dinner service. Plus, y’all know we love a daytime cafe pop-up every now and then so we’ll find some special ways to show up for you.
And last but not least, we’ll still be sending a selection of Amanda Perdomo items over to our friends Canyon Coffee on a recurring basis!
Thanks to everyone who showed up and supported over the last 9 months. The cafe may be gone on the weekdays for now, but we’ll never stop wishing you a good mornin’.

What people say
Seafood restaurants are celebrated for their ability to deliver fresh, flavorful dishes that transport diners to coastal locales with every bite. They often highlight the natural tastes of the ocean, offering a variety of preparations that cater to both traditional and adventurous palates. At Strange Delight on Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, this ethos is taken to new heights with a contemporary twist on classic seafood offerings.
Strange Delight showcases an innovative approach that keeps patrons coming back for more. The restaurant's recent creations include a cemita-inspired swordfish milanesa loaf, expertly crafted with chipotle, papalo, and quesillo nestled between two slices of soft milk bread. This dish not only highlights the delicate flavors of the swordfish but also introduces exciting textures and spices that elevate the dining experience.
Additionally, the introduction of Hawa’s patty melt loaf—a unique blend featuring South Africa’s beloved chakalaka relish—demonstrates Strange Delight's commitment to creativity and flavor exploration. This dish combines a juicy beef patty with spicy vegetable relish and melted cheese, all encased in toasted Japanese milk bread. It’s a delightful fusion that reflects the restaurant's adventurous spirit while still honoring its seafood roots.
With each visit, guests can expect not just delicious food but also an inviting atmosphere where culinary innovation thrives. Reservations are available for those looking to indulge in these exceptional offerings, while walk-ins are always welcome for spontaneous seafood cravings. Strange Delight continues to redefine what it means to enjoy seafood in a modern setting—making it a must-visit destination for food lovers in New York City.
