Halal Cafe with Espresso Bar, Ice Cream, and Small Brunch Bites

The Skilled Archer is a new halal cafe in Bushwick. It’s previous location used to be a Cocoa Grinder so if you’ve been before, the interior and setting will feel very familiar. They serve up decently portioned plates ranging from brunch bites to burgers.

Chicken Harissa Sandwich

The Skilled Archer
313 Knickerbocker Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11237

Food: 7/10
The Classic Double Patty burger is made with housemade patties, pickles and tomatoes. The two patties were much smaller than the brioche bun itself. Presentation wise it looks a little awkward, but nonetheless, the burger wasn’t bad. We also got the Chicken Harissa sandwich, Parmesan tots, a Rose flavored latte and Lavender flavored latte, which will all be posted later.

Price: 8/10
Prices are decent for most items. Nothing really goes above $13. An average item is $8-$12. This Classic Double Patty Burger is $12, which is a bit of a stretch, considering the patties were kinda small.

Atmosphere: 9/10
It’s your Brooklyn cafe with people working on their laptops. It almost looks like it’s a classroom if you come at prime time lol. But it’s clean, super spacious, and has a charming interior with vintage decals sporadically placed.

Service: 8/10
You pay for your order at the counter and your food comes to your table. The staff is helpful if you have any questions.
