Marta GrzeszczykMay 30, 2015Breakfy beside being tasty and fresh (which was) should look nice.. Mine didnt look good.. And it was quite expensive.
- Christopher TaiSeptember 29, 2012If you come here for dinner, my favorites were the fried chicken and cheese grits. The garlic string beans were also good but they were a tad too oily.
There's usually a line for weekend brunch, but you may be able to slip it if you're willing to sit at the bar.
You legitimately cannot get better brunch than this.Well the dinner and lunch menus are pretty good too, but THE BRUNCH!
Mikala McCauleyMarch 10, 2019The healthy farmers omelette was amazing. Great coffee. Highly recommend.
Pauline KingDecember 25, 2011I had the farmer sandwich, which was great, but the corn bread with apple compote was amazing! you have to ask for the bread.
- Brittany BeisnerAugust 19, 2016Excellent breakfast! The French press coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is too cute
Nicolette RomeroNovember 2, 2014Come for brunch, sit outside and enjoy their fancy coffee. Southwestern omelette = yum!- Smoked Salmon scrambled eggs and the fresh bread basket are amazing. Unfortunately, service may be lacking at times, especially during brunch.
The apple pancakes will make you reconsider what is good in this world. Awesome spot for brunch!
Pancakes are one of the best in the city. We prefer the pancakes here over Clinton or Prune.
John PaterakisSeptember 2, 2017Seriously long lines for weekend brunch, but if you arrive before 9:30 a.m., you should be seated almost immediately.
William HubaAugust 19, 2015Great smoothies, pretty much just mashed fruit. Everything is super fresh.
Katie SchlossJanuary 30, 2012Eggs are a must at this Gramercy eatery. We like the Farmers Market Omelette with Fresh Spinach, Sauteed Mushroom & Cheddar Cheese.
Shaina LiAugust 22, 2012The Crab Benedict special was fantastic. Glad we waited for an outdoor table -- the atmosphere was wonderful.
Jon MacmillanDecember 17, 2013Came for dinner - the pork loin was very good. Cocktails are unique and tasty.
Brittany GoodwynDecember 3, 2014It was pretty good. The pancakes had too much butter for me. The eggs and bacon were great .
Kathryn DAugust 11, 2018Good food in a quaint setting. The menu lies though- they don’t have muffins.
Meredith MJuly 5, 2013Considerate of vegans and people with dietary restrictions. Pressed juices are fantastic here!
Anything with eggs will be great - go for the country pie and make sure they bring apple-topped corn bread to your table!
Francesc ZacariasJuly 5, 2016The food was good, but the servings were really big and the price a bit on the up side (any meal + coffee will cost you well over 20$).
Chicken pot pie and a hot tottie when under the weather! Better than your grandma made!
Jane DongAugust 15, 2014Eggs are so fluffy here! Also the chicken pot pie was larger than I expected.
Their French Press might be my favorite coffee in NYC.
Kelly LewisApril 14, 2013The Farmer sounds like a small dish but it's MASSIVE and perfect in every way if you love bacon
Wendy HenryOctober 18, 2012went with lauren and jeff. cute, charming, rustic themed decoration. farm to table delicious food
Jen TomJanuary 17, 2010A fantastic restaurant with a very "homey" feel. Almost like eating at grandma's. Loved their Roast Duck with polenta and must save room for their Apple Pie.
Get the crab cake Benedict and the French press coffee. Can't go wrong with either!
Lauren TJuly 7, 2016Food and ambiance are great, but the service is soooo slow!!! Go ahead and ask for the check when you give your order if you want to get out in under 2 hours.
SloanFebruary 1, 2014The curry chicken salad is excellent. Get honey wheat toast on the side with it- Bonus points if the reason you're here is because you ARE a friend of a Farmer (name or occupation).
Alan MooimanSeptember 8, 2014There are much more affordable and tastier brunch spots not far away, like in the East Village.
Matt DeSienaJuly 13, 2013Great brunch spot to bring a dog, but they need to stay outside the perimeter.- Nina GraziJanuary 10, 2014Get the French toast! It's made from their home baked cinnamon raisin bread! Insane
