Littleneck Outpost is a cafe, offering coffee, tea, sandwiches and more.

This is the second location of the business, a spin-off of the Littleneck seafood restaurant in Gowanus (the first Outpost is in Greenpoint). This spot serves a wide array of items, from egg-and-cheese breakfast sandwiches to a lamb sandwich with minted cucumber and black garlic aioli. There are also vegetarian options, like avocado toast and a roasted beet sandwich.

The eatery's current rating of 4.5 stars out of four reviews on Yelp indicates positive attention from users.

Yelper Sarah G., who reviewed Littleneck Outpost on June 2, wrote, "Love this spot! A little off the beaten path, but worth going out of your way. Great coffee and super-tasty food, with plenty of seating. Plus, they always have great records playing."

Yelper Curryface P. wrote, "Great spot, food-wise. Delivery is dependable, too. The Benton's ham, egg and cheese is killer, if you like aggressive flavors."

Littleneck Outpost is open from 8 a.m.–7 p.m. daily.

Aunt Mae's is a coffee and tea spot, offering waffles and sandwiches.

This new business serves up classic New York sandwiches, like Reubens and Brooklyn-style roast beef, served with grilled onions on a brioche bun. Other options include brunch and lunch fare, like salads, shrimp and grits, and chicken and waffles.

Aunt Mae's currently holds four stars out of three reviews on Yelp, indicating good reviews.

Yelper Christian Y., who reviewed the business on March 3, wrote, "They have a good amount of seating for dining in, and the pricing is very fair and affordable for the neighborhood. As for the food itself, my sandwich contained a generous amount of quality pastrami and was nicely balanced with a good sauerkraut-to-meat ratio. I'll definitely be back to try other goodies!"

Yelper Mike G. wrote, "[T]his place stands out. Great tasting food, and a staff that cares about what they put out."

Aunt Mae's is open from 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Monday-Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)

Crabby Shack Sandwich Shop's current Yelp rating of 4.5 stars out of 33 reviews indicates positive attention from users.

Yelper Tom A. wrote, "We got the crab roll, lobster roll and Old Bay fries. After the first few bites, we put in a second order of crab mac and cheese to go. It's dangerous that the Crabby Shack is only a block away. "
