These guys are literally the best. Super chill vibe, great sandwiches (try the Wilson), coffee, fresh juices if that's your thing. Great place to work and under new management too.
Brooklyn Roasting Plant Coffee Beans are sold here. The House Blend they do for The Lunch Box is bold and amazing. Get that and a pound of the BQE Blend. Ask about the tag line!
One of my fav sandwiches in NYC is the Richardson = roast beef, brie, green apples, avocado, arugula, mayo, pressed on ciabatta.
Katie O'ConnorJune 16, 2014got the Richardson 👌 I come here all the time for lunch, I've never had an issue with service they're always very nice to me.
Service and food/drink quality fluctuate depending on who is working. Overall I'm willing to tolerate the snooty-ness for the yummy food. Which I suppose most folks agree, but nothing changes.
Mark CatalanoJanuary 9, 2013Staff here is extremely friendly. Try the King sandwich light on the mayo. It is excellent.
CANDY @digital_sweetJanuary 29, 2012The Richardson is the Best recommended sandwich to order, with a make your own salad & Kettle Salt&Vibegar chips!
Jonathan LiangApril 27, 2014The salads are kinda bomb here. Make your own, pretty fresh ingredients!
Katherine SmithAugust 26, 2015Make sure they have all the ingredients before ordering&carry cash if they charge you for the sandwich they didnt have&U have to pay the $.50 difference to order something else since there is a $5 min
Order the Johnson, hold the bleu cheese, and get a little bit of balsalmic instead. You're welcome.
Mr. BillJuly 19, 2012Neither slow nor douche-y. Quick, friendly service, damn good sandwich and soup. I'm a fan.
Don't listen to Mike L. They do not serve any sammiches here. They do, however, have several sandwiches for sale. Try the Jones.
- Don't worry about the d bag. He's gone. New tip LB burrito. It's more of a wrap but quite tasty.
Get the richardson with roast beef or turkey but ask for it NOT pressed. Makes the brie so much better.
This spot has potential. Cute spot and the sandwiches are good, but not enough to overlook the uninviting and disinterested service.- I take back my previous remark. I believe I'm done with this place. Just had the worst experience ever. I'll yelp it. I hope they either hire new, nice, competent staff - or go out of business.
Soups are all yummy and affordable. Try the Carrot Ginger and the Pickle Soup!- They're burritos are pretty good. The Jones will make you Jones for a Jones.
Daniel RobinsonMay 26, 2012Heads up if there's more than a couple people ordering, food takes foreeeever.- Check out the fresh market items on the blackboard by the entrance!
- Just stood in line for 10 minutes with one person in front of me and the line never moved. This place is always a wait for no reason.
It's press coffee, that's why. If you're lucky you'll get the last pour.
Food is good but service is inexplicably slow. Just waited 30 min for a single sandwich that I'd ordered ahead of time.- Get the egg and cheese on a bagel. They steam their eggs. So good.
- This is where I buy my baguettes. Best ones in the 'hood.
I just paid $7 for a bagel with cream cheese and an orange juice. And it took forever.
- Seriously, watch out for the new guy. He'll charge you for shit he shouldn't.
