L. S.December 24, 2015Solid breakfast. The line is worth the wait and it's a no frills but woth every calorie sort of spot. Even the coffee tastes better at this joint.
Richard RevillaDecember 31, 2014Oh the line but a little piece of heaven inside. Have the Pancakes with Strawberry butter. Bloody Mary to cure your ills.
Pamela AquinoApril 4, 2013Amazing lunch. I ordered salad and soup with ham and it was amazing and very fresh. Dessert looks amazing. Can't wait to return.
Lisa LMay 26, 2014I got the hole in bread or something. It was good, but I wish I ordered something else. The pink lemonade cocktail was strong and worth the $12. I'll be back.
Zach AaronsDecember 29, 2011Definitely was good enough to eat, but I am not sure it warrants the lengthy wait. The tuna melt was certainly one of the best in New York and the hot apple cider is nice. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Adil IbrahimJuly 4, 2014Also, if you come as late as we came 9:15 pm, be ready for them to be out of multiple items on the menu. We still loved the ambiance and decor, and food too (a bit).
Love this spot. Strawberry butter is to die for. Homemade turkey sausage is awesome as well.
Eirini☘🇬🇷 Elmyra✈️May 19, 2013Excellent choice for breakfast!!Great environment and well cooked brunch.Try the biscuits with the strawberry butter they are amazing!!!
Lauren SimpsonAugust 7, 2011Come for the biscuits, the sausage, the French toast and the bartender. Only things that disappoint are the coffee drinks (not their forte) and the syrup (watery). Dinner is amazing too.
Geoff OkinsMarch 27, 2016Bacon waffles and the banana/walnut pancakes were awesome. Great cheat meal for a Sunday brunch.
Seven12 MagazineSeptember 16, 2011You form a line outside if there is a wait, no list. However, the food is fabulous and so is the service. It's small and quaint w/a country feel. Fabulous!
GabrielleDecember 27, 2016Good food less than average service. The manager hassled my friend and I as we were waiting for two friends to arrive (we had only JUST sat down). If the cafe were busy I'd have understood.
Ruth MadrigalApril 12, 2015Service was great. Everything was delicious. Their flavored butter is a must-try. Loved the waffles too!
Jordan KongFebruary 18, 2013Get the gete's bloody mary for a drink with a mean kick. Also, migas egg scramble with biscuits!
Showtime NetworkJune 4, 2010By far the BEST place to have breakfast in New York. This tiny jaunt has a line around the corner and out the back door for Sunday Brunch. You can also inquire about their cooking classes! - Nikki
EmmaJanuary 11, 2016Great cocktails, try the strawberry butter with biscuits you won't regret it! Terrible service though.
Harsh MallJanuary 27, 2013Get here after 1:30 to avoid lines. Everything was perfect. Ambiance, food, service. And the music they play is AMAZING!
Jeff ForbesAugust 9, 2014Endurance challenge: order hot coffee and finish it on a mid summer day at this table.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Your new destination for comfort breakfast food. Arrive early on weekends, as there are lines for brunch. Try the bacon waffles.
Anabella N.August 13, 2014My Belgian waffles with my oh so heavenly strawberry butter is so delicious!!
Bloody's are great. Get extra blue cheese olives. Pumpkin French Toast is the best thing to eat.
- Alex Cruz-LebrónApril 17, 2016Bacon Bloody Mary, BLT Omelette and the Waffles! With strawberry butter ❤️
Steven VegaMay 10, 2015The food it's absolutely awesome, try the pancakes! Definitely I'll be back soon!
Winston S.August 31, 2013The sausage patty is interesting and tasty. If you like spicy and whisky based drinks try the smoky '46.
Almost always a line on the weekend, but the line moves very fast.
Brian CzapienskiOctober 9, 2014For the love of God. Order some bacon. Amazing breakfast food. Everything fresh and delicious.
Oscar CecenaOctober 6, 2014The biscuits with strawberry butter are amazing! Also, the BLT omelet is really good.
Lindsay KirkOctober 13, 2015Really good omlettes and the biscuits with strawberry butter can't be missed!
Mark TurnerSeptember 20, 2016The pancakes with strawberry butter are to die for. Highly recommended.
Robbie JanoschSeptember 5, 2011The breakfast food here is so awesome. The hamburgers are so over the top. You can always have a delicious Thanksgiving dinner every night of the year here.
weeSpringSeptember 22, 2013Get there at 8:45am sharp on the weekends if you want to avoid a looong wait... and head to the Children's Museum right after.
Long lines for weekend brunch, but most breakfast items are served all day
Adrian & CynthiaNovember 26, 2016the little bits of bacon in the bacon waffle were awesome but it was a bit of a treasure hunt
An UWS staple, but pretty overrated for some regular breakfast foods. Enjoy your pancakes, I guess.
Katt TApril 14, 2013The banana walnut pancakes and omelets are amazing. Biscuits and strawberry butter are a must.
Valerie BrownSeptember 19, 2010Its all about amazing eggs and french toast at this hyped spot. Worth the wait if you enjoy country styled brunch. Try the yummy pumpkin pancakes in the fall
get here early for Sunday brunch or you'll be waiting in a long long line...although it's worth the wait, but early will get your stomach happy!
Jeremy WilcoxMay 8, 2016Overall great breakfast place. Avoid the waffles, though, they are way too thick/dense.
Irene MayansApril 17, 2013Biscuits, the best with their homemade jam. Go early on Sunday long waiting line for brunch
Ricardo CostaJanuary 26, 2012Espresso here is really good (you can trust in a Brazilian opinion on this!). Tasty, creamy, right temperature. Really good!
Kyle ByeDecember 20, 2014Don't miss the delicious strawberry butter and the thick, sugar cured bacon.
Marc SApril 24, 2021The bacon waffle is good and quite filling. But the kitchen can be very very slow: 45 minutes for scrambled eggs?!
