Brooklyn Porridge Co. (Park Slope)

Hallelujah, amen - we FINALLY have a 100% gluten-free eatery in Park Slope - until spring at least. The Uncle Louie G's location at Union St. and 5th Ave has closed down for the winter season and in its place is the newly opened Brooklyn Porridge Co., serving sweet and savory porridges, soups, and more. (I hear gluten-free waffle sandwiches are in the works!)




Yep, ALL gluten-free.
They've been open for less than a week and I've already been at least four times. Just so tasty and convenient. First time out, I tried a savory porridge:

Grits with pesto, mushrooms, peppers, and onions. 

I also grabbed a black bean soup to have for lunch later. Truly the best black bean soup I've ever had.


Thick and rich, with complex flavors.
Another morning found me warming up over a breakfast of grits with cheddar, apple, and ham.


One of the toughest things about being gluten-free is finding savory snacks and meals on the go. You can always grab a yogurt or fruit/nut bar, but what we really need are hearty savory things - and Brooklyn Porridge Co. certainly fulfills that need in Park Slope!

Brooklyn Porridge Co. is located at 741 Union Street, Brooklyn NY 11215.
