Cafe O’te (38 Norman Ave.), a new casual café inside Greenpoint’s 50 Norman complex, opens to the public on Monday, July 14.
50 Norman opened in 2022 with three Tokyo-based brands: Cibone (which is now Cibone O’te), Dashi Okume, and HOUSE Brooklyn. The space expanded in 2025 to include KAMA-ASA and Balmuda, in addition to Cafe O’te. Owned by Artisan Orchestra, the team behind Cibone O’te, the new café offers relaxed, everyday dining within the Japanese cultural hub.

Nicely done, good review and beautiful pictures worthy of a NY Times review. They have recently gone downhill with their photographs and reviews.
A little too esoteric and beyond my price range for me but wish them good luck.
