Whisk & Whiskey, a popular bar and bakery in Park Slope, Brooklyn, is celebrating its four-year anniversary of providing a unique blend of baked goods, cocktails, and Trinidadian-Cambodian small bites. The establishment, co-owned by Chef Secoyah Browne and Chandra Touch, originally began as dinner parties during the pandemic. It officially opened its doors in 2021, taking advantage of New York’s regulations that required food to be served with liquor.

Located at 259 4th Ave., Whisk & Whiskey quickly became a beloved community spot, attracting locals looking for a place to enjoy delicious food and reconnect with friends. Browne’s vision has always been to run a bakery, while Touch has taken the lead in bar management and event sales, making their partnership a perfect fit.

The menu includes a variety of Trinidadian specialties, such as bakes—fried dough often filled with saltfish or shark—plantains, and doubles. Touch curates a special selection of cocktails and mocktails, while Browne crafts seasonal desserts and small bites. The duo chose Park Slope for their location due to the neighborhood’s need for diverse culinary options.

Browne remarked, “The community was really ready for some additional culture, some additional spice… Trinidad is definitely underrepresented food-wise, especially in this area, as is Cambodian food.” She emphasized the similarities in ingredients between the two cuisines, showcasing cultural connections through food.

In addition to their food offerings, Whisk & Whiskey hosts various events, including Trinidadian dinner parties and film screenings, fostering a sense of community among their diverse clientele.

Throughout their journey, Browne and Touch have learned to adapt, especially in light of recent tariffs that prompted them to raise prices. They’ve communicated transparently with customers regarding these changes.

Looking ahead, the owners plan to open another location in Brooklyn, allowing them to continue sharing their passion for community, bites, and cocktails.
