Rachel PortApril 9, 2018I got the biscuit special with scrambled eggs, andouille sausage, tomato and avocado... sooo delicious 🤤
Honghui YuNovember 22, 2015Try any of their poached eggs dishes for breakfast - all are fantastic. The Spanish latte is delicious too. It's a latte with condensed milk and caramel instead of milk.
Boris BaldingerApril 24, 2014The Smoked Chicken and Apple Salad was delicious. A lot of old people were here ;-) Classical music. Pretty dark place. The Staff was friendly.
Roniel TesslerJuly 7, 2019A NYC gem! The Greenwich omelette is a meat/cheese lover's dream. Definitely order the oatmeal brulee! A delightful spin on your traditional oatmeal. Skip the Canyonland Eggs. It's far too simple.
Channon FordJuly 1, 2016Eggs & apples benedict on french toast was divine. Great combination of flavors. I still think about it a yr later. A bit of a wait but they move fast.
Victoria NatenzonJune 1, 2014The most life changing apple eggs bennedict I've ever had...and trust me I've had my fair share of eggs bennedict. Good and quick service too :)
Cali ZimmermanNovember 2, 2014Efficient service and great egg dishes. Always a solid place for brunch, but gets busy early on. Poached eggs and balsamic are perfect
Andrea GalambosNovember 25, 2012New favorite brunch place. Cozy, homey, excellent friendly service, delicious Costa Rican coffee. The eggs benedict on potato pancakes were simply ridiculous with hollandaise perfection.
Judith O.December 29, 2012Apple eggs Benedict was great but the Spanish latte blew my mind. Sounds weird, but I was expecting a simple latte--this was delicious. (They probably use orzata?) Plus, it comes in a small bowl. Yum.
Christina ChinMay 24, 2016Eggs n apple benedict on french toast is sweet and savory. Yummy but serving is small and I was still hungry after.
Simple food, well prepared is the winning way of this downtown fixture. E&C gets a bum rap as omelet joint, but has long served inventive eats that sometimes surprise. Coffee is bottomless and good.
A little gem in the heart of the Village. Tried the blue cheese salad and portobello sandwich, will come back for burgers and omelettes! 🍔
Jess SSeptember 3, 2011Brunch! Go early, leave you name & come back an hour later Eggs & apple Benedict brioche French toast & potato pancakes w/sautéed spinach. Go ahead & carb load best hangover cure ever!
Megan JohnsonDecember 15, 2013Very quick turnover. Coffee w/orzata (almond orange syrup) yummy; French toast Benedict with apples and bacon sounds weird but is delicious!
- Notice the coffee tastes different? Spring 2012 brought George Howell Costa Rica coffee to E&C. A citrusy, clean, medium body cup has replaced syrupy Sumatra. It's pricey at $3.75, but still endless.
New York HabitatDecember 15, 2011Say you had the chance to combine eggs benedict, apples, french toast, and bacon. Would you? Sweet, savory. Pure deliciousness in a single bite, every bite. Is this real life?
Joshua WinataJuly 22, 2013Everyone has already mentioned the eggs and apple benedict, but it's so delicious that it bears repeating: order it. It really is that good.
Elizabeth BursteinFebruary 25, 2019Benedict w potato pancakes (b) and apple walnut cheddar omelette (e). Top service
CarolineFebruary 7, 2016Great brunch with an interesting menu that's not as boring as some places can be. Will return for dinner menu.
Damian BayonaNovember 20, 2015Burger, Burger, Burger. For breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert. That curry mustard is heavenly.- La Colombe coffee supplanted George Howell brew, a couple of weeks ago, extending the cafe's tradition of a good cup.
Always the very best! I would love to see the Maximilian crepe back on the special board for Sunday brunch!
Jason BrewApril 21, 2015Really good downtown brunch sport. The simple scrambled eggs with guacamole are the best
The Apple Benedict is out of this world! Get a side of the Vermont maple syrup with it.
- Heirloom tomato BLT with fried egg is a memorable version of a sandwich classic. Basil and superior bacon make the difference.
Roasted portobello, mozzarella, arugula and basil sandwich is my fav. The Spanish Latte is the best!
inna katsDecember 15, 2011Shrimp/bacon/pesto sandwich was yummy; coffee ice cream/fudge/raspberry dessert was bomb. Blackberry soda tastes like syrup and seltzer, not worth it. Heavenly wood crepe: nuthin to write home about
Sarah RobsonAugust 10, 2014Everything is amazing! Brunch and dinner menu are packed with great options!
Sass ConfOctober 5, 2013A cozy restaurant with great food. Their burgers are a speciality. You've gotta try the Elephantburger- Say goodbye to the longtime lunch menu at the Castle. E&C's gone strictly to breakfast/brunch & dinner menus, the latter at lunchtime.
Adrianne BenzionOctober 27, 2012The eggs Benedict with apples sounds weird but was delicious. Also order the fresh squeezed oj! Pulpy & fresh.
Réjane TAugust 14, 2012The brunch food is decent but if you get a chance, try the coffee. Bold and tasty. Prepare for a nice wait on weekends.
No reservations allowed which is how it should be. Everyone is on an even playing field for seating, no exceptions
Eggs and apple benedict is good but there are plenty of better brunch options in the area.
Priyanka PadodeMarch 29, 2014Apple maple syrup French toast eggs Benedict. Even if you're a health freak, do it.- Prerna TalrejaFebruary 2, 2013Eggs and Apples Benedict on French Toast is amazing! Caffe mocha is really good too
pipituOctober 23, 2016The omelette was decent. It is a pity that cheddar cheese is the only cheese option in the omelette section.
Anna LAugust 2, 2013Steel cut oatmeal with raisins, hazelnuts, and bananas. Add their preserves...gloriouuuus!
Rahadyan SastrowardoyoSeptember 29, 2011My favorites here include the elephantburger (curried sour cream, beefsteak tomato, et al.) and the Grand Marnier crepe
