Skazzy Cafe on Washington Ave and Prospect Pl???

Hey all

I have seen posts go about God Is... but I was walking today I saw this new place called Skazzy Cafe which is right near God Is. It looks like this place has a new awning up and the windows covered in butcher paper. Anyone know anything about this place?

    is it on the corner of Washington and Prospect?

    ...where the old Crown Fried Chicken was?

    I had heard that place was going to be bagels.

    BEFORE this awning went up, I said that I felt like I was living at the epicenter of bad restaurant names... Man, I am so right, sometimes...

    Mods-

    Either this thread or this thread http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/shocker-crown-fried-chicken-on-waprospect-is-no-more/page/2#post-730532 should be locked.

    Should we continue to celebrate/mourn the loss of Crown Fried Chicken, or celebrate/mourn the arrival of Snazzy.

    It is a tough call, but this is why the mods are present. I submit to thier wisdom

    Is it Snazzy or Skazzy? Both are a bit awkward, but at least "snazzy" is a word.

    It's "Skazzy".

    very weird.

    Does this mean that Crown Fried Chicken will come back?

    can we hope that the awning will come back with a new name?

    I vote we start calling it "Skuzzy Cafe."

    Please let it come back with either a new name, or a better font. If it doesn't, I don't know what God Is...

    awning going back up today. Looks to be just as ugly as it was before. There's a phone number on it, from the pic above it doesn't look like it was there before so that may be the reason it came down.

    So, as ghostinthemachine points out, God is... Skazzy.

    Although this is an interesting revelation, I can't say it trumps me learning that Judgement Day is scheduled for tomorrow.

    There was some sort of opening celebration happening here as I walked by last night - there were balloons out front and people cheering as they raised the security gates. Any signs of life today?

    Walked past there before noon today, not open.

    I saw no activity this weekend.

    Assuming they have their permits in place, they'd be foolish not to open before Labor Day Weekend.

    Skazzy is a weird name, but as long as they offer good food, or coffee, or bagels, or whatever it is they sell, I don't care!

    There were people working inside tonight. The paint job is not to my taste, but it's done, and there's what looks like a bar on the wall that adjoins to Diva Desires. So maybe they will be open for the weekend.

    Indeed!

    Skazzy opened tonight (Friday Sept 2nd). The staff looks forward to your business.

    "We are starting out with a small menu, but hope to grow it quickly".

    (i.e. light breakfast and/or lunch)

    Anyone have a clue what type of cuisine it is? The interior Looks inviting.

    American diner.

    Here's the menu. Make it larger by holding the control key and the + key.

    Has anyone actually been yet? I walk by all the time and never see anyone in there. I fear a short lifespan.

    They were not even open for dinner last week, although there were sometimes people in the restaurant working/learning, so I haven't even had a chance to give them a try.

  • whynot_31

    I have not been yet, but my thought is that they offer a similar menu to very-nearby cafe, "The Spot".

    ...their prices are similar as well.

    ...but their decor and uniforms make Skazzy nicer.

    I do not think there will be enough demand to support both establishments.

    If Skazzy's food is as good as The Spot, I think The Spot will disappear. ...we will become Spot-less

    (sorry, I couldn't resist)

    I fear you are correct. Today the steel gates were down, despite it being 7:30 PM. I have rarely seen customers inside.

    If this place is now closed, it was only open for about 10 weeks.

    Spot was good, big portions, VERY cheap. Service was pleasant. Only critique was that their mimosas were warm and they put ice in the first one they served.

    I would go again and just deal with the warm drinks due to the prices alone - lol.

    Skazzy is open tonight, despite being closed yesterday.

    Correct: the nearby Spot appears to be keeping it's customers, despite Skazzy being snazzier.
