Move over bacon, egg and cheese: Brooklyn has a new breakfast royalty and it’s wearing green. According to Chowhound’s newly released roundup of the best breakfast sandwiches in every U.S. state, the crown for New York goes not to a greasy bodega classic but to an elevated, Italian-accented creation tucked away in Windsor Terrace.
Enter the “Green Eggs & Ham” sandwich from Brancaccio’s Food Shop, a low-key neighborhood gem where the sandwiches are stacked and the lines are justified. Chowhound called out the shop’s Italian-style approach and gourmet ingredients, but it’s the sandwich’s pesto scrambled eggs, prosciutto cotto and fontina cheese on a hearty roll that won reviewers over.
“It’s hard to overstate how much hype Brancaccio’s Food Shop in Brooklyn gets,” the article notes—and in this case, the buzz seems entirely deserved. This savory, herbaceous flavor bomb isn’t your average hangover cure.
Located on Fort Hamilton Parkway, Brancaccio’s has quietly been serving locals since 2002, but this shoutout may put the small shop on the radar of sandwich pilgrims far beyond the 11218 zip code. The menu changes often, but the Green Eggs & Ham has become something of a signature. And with hours from Wednesday to Sunday, 8 am to 6 pm, you’ve got a solid window to chase the sandwich dream (just don’t roll up on a Monday).
The team at Chowhound compiled their list using thousands of Yelp reviews, Reddit threads and food forums, prioritizing places with consistent, enthusiastic praise and sandwiches made with high-quality ingredients. So while taste is subjective, the Green Eggs & Ham clearly made enough mouths happy to come out on top for the Empire State.
In a city where breakfast sandwiches are practically a religion, it’s no small feat to stand out. But Brancaccio’s isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel—they’re just making a damn good one with better parts.
