    Try the Shakshouka - Spicy poached eggs in fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions & spices, served with Israeli cous cous and pita bread.

    Good brunch options, outdoor seating, big screens to watch a game inside, but service can be a little slow at times

    Cute place for brunch. They don't serve bagels anymore but the menu is still yummy and the coffee is good too.

    Shakshouka eggs as others have TIPPED are the differentiator from a brunch menu perspective - dogs welcome!(outside). Service hit or miss...

    I love the Shaksouka - Spicy Poached Eggs! It's a big dish, so it's shareable.

    The food was great. The servers were very friendly, but seemed to forget about us. Waited forever for our coffee. Never really checked on us. Be prepared to wait if you're going to eat here.

    Mediterranean eggs are a must. Service isn't the best but doesn't take away from the experience

    The gelato is pretty tasty. Try their pistachio flavored one on a hot summer day.

    I used to love Bread Box, but our waitress just asked us if we got our food...oh, you mean the breakfast food we ordered 45 minutes ago?

    The everything bagel is really good. Sadly, the music they always play is of the bad VH1 variety, but all is forgiven because the people are really nice.

    The food is nothing special, I had the Mediterranean eggs and it was literally 4 poached eggs floating in a vodka sauce, the Eggs Benedict were over cooked. Do not recommend this place at all.

    I'm never amazed by the food here. I say skip it and head to Alobar for brunch.

    Unfortunately they don't make bagels anymore. They needed to market them better. How would you even know they have bagels here. Certainly new yorkers like bagels.

    Order the following: olive cream cheese, avocado and onion on an everything bagel. Also, try to steal a rolling pin.

    Caprese sandwich is great, just add some grilled chicken and you'll be set

    Went for breakfast and to work. Wifi was working when I checked outside before going in. After I ordered (in the empty dining room) it stopped working. Had to get up for my check. Not a do over!
