Lots of menu options..great brunch place, outside seating, serve wine/beer/cocktails..a really good to go spot for relaxing afternoons.

Generally easy to get a table here for brunch (<30 minute wait). The Tunisian eggs and the middle eastern breakfast are yum.

Great breakfast with something for everyone from healthy options to the classics. Can't go wrong with the breakfast special!

Loved the crab burger! Sadly it was a special but their menu is always changing. Then get a delicious dessert with chai tea or cappuccino.

The feta and spinach omelette is quite good. I also ordered the chicken pistachio sausage which looked a bit weird but tasted great.

Had the eggs with hummus, which I don't think was a winning combination. the egg sandwich (bagel) was great!

Anything and everything is amazing here....the goat cheese sandwiches are my hidden loves, but brunch is also packed with yummies!

I LOVE this place. As a banker who gets stressed out a lot, this place helps me unwind. Great food and great service. Not pricey either!

Great brunch spot in East Village. There is usually a line up to get it, but it moves quickly and it's worth the wait

You cannot go wrong here but Diana's breakfast is so good. Pay attention to daily brunch specials. Share the pancakes!

Ajay Naidu -- AKA Samir from "Office Space" - calls this the best place to take out-of-town visitors in the East Village. "It has the most delicious food and the best ingredients. It's my home cafe." Read more

Great Bloody Mary. You can't go wrong with anything on the brunch menu... Be sure to try the Canadian bacon!

The tunesian eggs were very tasty. I wanted the pumpkin pancakes but since it would've been too much with the eggs, I got one pancake as a side. Delicious!

Good food, excellent drinks, and a cute decor. Not too noisy but not silent - perfect for dinner and conversation!

Ask for the millet pancakes (possibly not on the menu). Served with beets & goat cheese, these pancakes are delicious, savory, and don't need syrup. You'll be coming back again for more of 'em.
Annie MApril 2, 2016
Pancakes, banana bread and 2 eggs any style ! Everything was very tasty ! Nice place and really welcoming !

Tunisian eggs - perfect if you like a little spice. Almost like a warm salsa. Plus, the potatoes that came with it was delightful!

Went for a light dinner last night. The salads, especially the special beet salad with pistachios, were great, and the service could not have been friendlier.
Roberto MVSeptember 22, 2014

Sooooo good, fries were amazing, try the sandwiches from their "middle eastern" menu
Alexandros PlexidasMay 19, 2016
I visited this pace with great expeditions due to the hype but I was not amazed. Spinach omelette was very decent and service was very good. Found the interior a bit poorly decorated.

Great unique brunch items. Note, no brewed coffee with unlimited refills. The espresso drinks are great though.

Very reasonably priced brunch with great food. Millet pancakes with chicken pistachio sausage and beet salad was perfect at just 11 bucks.
Stefanie BühlerApril 5, 2016
Breakfast until 4 pm :) get the eggs with humus and pita so delishes and their cappuccino was amazing
Renae MasonJuly 23, 2015
The middle eastern breakfast with labne, salad & poached eggs was fresh and tasty. Good soy cap too.
Abigail KofflerJune 30, 2015
Patio suggestions: Diana's breakfast with eggs, hummus and tabouli AND a French 75.
Kelly McCarthyOctober 22, 2015
Avocado toast with eggs is amazing a little pricey but worth it! Wifi password is breakfast
Amy WuApril 30, 2017
Over medium eggs are actually over medium. The millet pancakes are an interesting texture and great with syrup.

This place has really good food..! Tried the Malawach in their brunch menu..the fried dough was a little oily, but otherwise great!

Don't be discouraged by its tame look, the food is great and the drinks stout, cheap and very enjoyable. My goto place as a New Yorker.

Great place for breakfast. Get a table outside in a sunny day!

Middle Eastern/Israeli restaurant very popular at brunch. Cute outdoor seating and great hummus.
David HuApril 28, 2014
Although known for brunch, there's just as awesome of a selection for dinner. Had the schnitzel, was not disappointed!
Kathleen CorlessNovember 1, 2016
Tunisian eggs are good, the pita is perfect, great coffee and friendly attentive service
Adam ThompsonMarch 31, 2013
A great NYC brunch. Good coffee drinks and a scrumptious smoked salmon omelette. Our service was excellent to boot.
Maja DrabczykJune 20, 2015

My favorite place in the EV, they offer a quick or long lunch. Everything is good especially the soup specials.
Tabitha xxJanuary 5, 2014
This place used to be so cozy and quaint. Now you have to scream to hear the other person. But the brunch is still great so I'll still come here!
Alec MFebruary 21, 2012
If you're eating with a boyfriend or girlfriend, one of you should get the steak and eggs, the other the pumpkin combo and pumpkin pancakes. Perfect combo!
Elena LOctober 26, 2014
Great breakfast! Tried goat cheese, spinach omelette and pumpkin pancakes. Both were delicious!
Brandon SidesSeptember 8, 2014
The mussels are light and fabulous, they come with fries though, so if you're hungry it's still a good choice.
L. T.April 3, 2015
Three rooms - get in early to get to the back room. Great for dates and nice conversation.

Was here on a Saturday at 10am, managed to snag a table outside for 2. Plenty of open seating inside.

No other brunch spot exists when Cafe Orlin exists. Steak and eggs and a cappuccino and a heavenly Sunday morning is had by all.
