__TR3VMay 16, 2013Laid back spot. Open 24/7. Breakfast 2am-5pm. Seasoned home fries were on point. Had an omelet with my usual: cheddar cheese, onions, and peppers. Proper!! & The french toast comes with rum butter :-)
Bianca LamJuly 23, 2012They have an awesome brunch deal. 13.95 for entree, coffee/tea and beversge. The salmon Benedict has the best hollandaise sauce. I've tried a few places and I always come back for this. Try it!
Ben MackeyJune 22, 2013Fixed price brunch menu is fantastic. Try the Eggs Benedict or the Scrambled Eggs Burrito... or anything on the menu!
Ceie CelestinDecember 31, 2012This quaint (diplomatic definition for tiny) venue is extraordinarily LARGE in personality and flavor in the food. The libations and service are on point: what more can u ask 4!!
Veronika SonsevJuly 4, 2013This place is fantastic. Love the Eggs Shashuka. Brunch is $15 and includes a cocktail and coffee. Plus, they have outside seating. Amazing!
Madison GouzieSeptember 23, 2012This place honors the classics. Next time you Shazam a jam know that the best prolly sampled it. I.E. Leon Haywood's "I want'a do somethin freaky to you" is Snoop & Dre's "Nuttin but a g thang"
one of my favorite neighborhood spots, never had anything here that wasn't delish! Pancakes with rum butter and strawberries, cheese fries, salad with the carrot dressing, chicken burrito, it's all go
KMinNYCAugust 31, 2011Best fries ever and love love love the carrot dressing on the healthy bowl. Veggie burrito good and the salads hubby loves the turkey club. Cheap, pleasant, solidly good
TEV NYCOctober 9, 2012Cafe 7A's brunch is off the roof! Go for a hearty serving of brioche french toast, crisp home fries, and maybe even a mimosa or two or three.
Host asked us if we had a seating preference. We asked if we could take a booth. He rolled his eyes & sat us..then he glared until we asked if he preferred we moved. We ended up at a diff table.
New York HabitatMarch 22, 2012Awesome burgers and nice outdoor seating for hot summer nights. And the best thing? It’s open 24 hours a day!
Brandi FrenchfryJune 3, 2013Goat cheese sandwich is always stellar and, seriously, only eat the fries when you're ready to accept a new addiction into your life
JamesDecember 8, 2013The Austrian chicken sandwich is so delish. Been having it for 20+ years. It never disappoints.
Karin RendelmanJuly 24, 2011$13.95 brunch menu...order the French toast with fresh fruit...rum butter...crispy bacon :) Bloody Mary looked good but I like to stick to mimosas...yum!!
Emily SokolowAugust 31, 2013I literally don't know why the "Burger in a Blanket" doesn't receive regular press coverage. Smoked mozz, bacon-wrapped burger in a fried brioche bun. #hangoverhelpers
everything here is always good. never disappointed. weekend brunch specials are perfection.
Zack BeattyAugust 18, 2012Vegans: this is one of the few East Village brunch spots w/ a tofu scramble (kinda off menu).
cheena jainDecember 24, 2010the rum butter and fruit with French toast is amazing. no veggie substitutions for the crappy meat substitutes. not even extra fruit, but the rum butter makes up for it.
Soliloquy MarketingSeptember 4, 2013Get the black bean veggie burger with cheddar. One of the best in Manhattan.
Jackie WillisJune 29, 2013The fries are so delightful!! The way this restaurant serves sandwiches is very LOVELY!!!!
Emily FinleyApril 7, 2012The roasted pepper eggs benedict is the way to go. You can get it with shrimp too.
NearSay NYCJanuary 18, 2012Their burgers are delicious! We love cheese so our all time favorite is the blue cheese burger. Yummy!
JetzNYApril 17, 2011Sunday Brunch $14.95 I ordered Shrimp & Avocado Benedi..Nothing to write home about or to stand in line for....If you get extra Bloody Mary add $5.51 to your bill
Veronica PillarJune 4, 2012Can we talk about how the back walls are covered in drawings of fingers? Kinda cool though. Google the artist, fingers are his thing...
Stephanie OlivarMarch 25, 2011Service is ok, salads are great here especially the cobb! Good place for late night food and drinks. Not bad prices for the quality of the food
Ignacio FinolApril 22, 201224/7. Very convenient for late night weekend drunk food. Perfect. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Scott WellsJuly 31, 2011PRO TIP: Try the bacon wrapped cheese fries. They're not on the menu but you can make them yourself.
Breakfast now not available during brunch. Still delicious but come prepared to spend $15 on eggs now.
The healthy bowl was really good and didn't make you hate yourself. Will get again.

Rob PextonSeptember 18, 2011The buffalo wings are amazing and completely satisfying after your weekend night east village bar crawl.
Victoria FindleyMay 20, 2011you're right hot chick bartenders on the weekends... Watch out for the regulars at the bar, especially frank and sam :)
Camp AkivaJune 2, 2013The medium rare steak was overcooked. I'd consider getting french toast next time which seemed to be the more popular choice amongst the rest of the patrons
HIGHLY RECOMMEND: Brunch is always amazing! I eat here almost every weekend. Service is also stellar every time.
shrimp and avocado benedict for brunch! mimosas are so-so but the bloodys are good.
7A serves breakfast from 2 am to 5 pm daily, no exceptions. And they close every other Monday night at 11 pm for maintenance, so call ahead!
Cady GlaserJuly 1, 2011Peppered goat cheese pasta is amazing at 3am and heated up the next day for hungover leftovers
Awesome brunch. $13 for drink & entree. The waffles w/bananas & rum butter are delicious!
Chicken wings are good, and buffalo wings for a late night snack.
