Slimák, Sunset Park: Daytime Café, Brunch & $10 Cocktails
Slimák is a daytime café and restaurant at 4110 4th Ave in Sunset Park. It doesn’t post a happy hour. The verdict: a Sunset Park daytime café since 2017 that does pancakes, sandwiches and bowls and pours $10 cocktails at breakfast. Useful for a weekend brunch with a spritz; closed by 4pm.
What to Expect
Slimák has served Sunset Park since 2017 with a seasonal menu that runs from burritos and vegan bowls to old-world sandwiches, salads, quiches and paninis, plus fresh croissants, muffins, scones and Danishes. Breakfast covers oatmeal bowls, Belgian-style waffles, blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes ($15), omelettes, avocado toasts and egg wraps, and gluten-free baked goods are available.
The Drinks
Cocktails are $10: mimosas, Aperol spritzes, vermouth and, in season, glühwein. Wine runs $11 a glass for white and $12 for rosé, with bottles from $40 for prosecco, and the beer list includes a half-liter Czech lager, an Other Half Oktoberfest and a cider. The coffee bar covers espresso drinks, lattes, matcha and chai.
When to Go
Monday to Friday 7am to 4pm and weekends 8am to 4pm, with dine-in for breakfast and lunch and online ordering for pickup. The café also caters events. It’s on 4th Avenue in Sunset Park, near 45 St (R) and 36 St (D/N/R).
The Honest Caveat
No happy hour, and nothing after 4pm, so this is a brunch bar at most. Weekend laptop workers take note: the café says no computers are allowed on weekends.
