Kayleigh HarringtonDecember 6, 2016The egg sandwich and kale cashew bowl were a nice quick bite for breakfast. Great coffee, lots of space and natural light.
Valerie SMarch 9, 2017Vibe is classic diner with a modern twist. Great breakfast menu. Try the egg sandwich -- super tasty, filling, and rich in flavor.
Brian BrownDecember 4, 2016Smart, stylish, yummy. Had the breakfast sandwich with a side of hash. Very messy but very tasty.
dawn.in.newyorkDecember 7, 2016Beautiful modern diner serves new american style food at inexpensive price. Forget the kale cashew bowl and try roasted maitake mushroom or grilled blt.
Yoav HornungFebruary 13, 2017Loved the egg sandwich, really good return for the $9. Gorgeous place and fun for brkfast or brunch. Looks like a diner but doesn't have a diner's classic menu.
ShivanDecember 5, 2016Fancy take on a classic diner. Great coffee! I ordered the Classic Egg Sandwich - tasty, fresh, but not exceptional. Perhaps try a more unique dish.
Nicole FormicaDecember 18, 2016Here for lunch? The grilled BLT with a side of Brussel sprouts is a great way to keep your lunch game strong.
Dan SohaydaDecember 17, 2016Egg sandwich is an easy choice but maybe ask that they try to make sure to leave the yolk a bit runny if that's your thing. Mine was cooked through.
Maximum BurgerMarch 6, 2017Cool vibe, young hipster staff and clientele, and great coffee. But a bit pricey, unpredictable portions and hit or miss entrees.
Grilled Steakhouse Burger is 💯(add bacon + eggs). For drinks, get the matcha whiskey (sounds like a weird combo but the flavors blend well!)
Try the Grilled Lobster from the dinner menu. It's excellent 👌
Jesús CatalánMay 28, 2019Please ask the bearded guy behind the bar to please moderate the volume of his voice I'm having my comfort food I don't need to listen his life story.
Carly DahlApril 8, 2017Chestnut pappardelle tasted like fall on a plate - so delicious. Felt oddly pressured by the server to order more. BYOB until they get their liquor license, which clearly cuts down on their tips
Honghui YuMarch 27, 2017Try the classic egg sandwich, a fancier take on the bacon egg and cheese on a roll - add half an avocado to make it extra special.- Jackson IsaacsonMarch 28, 2017Amazing coffee, food, atmosphere, staff, and it's just pretty much my favorite.
Emily WilsonDecember 7, 2016If you're here for breakfast, go for the kale cashew bowl over the egg sandwich. It's hearty, healthy, vibrant, and tasty. Extra points for the beautiful ceramic bowl it's served in.
Gabe HertzApril 18, 2017Chicken soup w ricotta dumplings and fresh dill is real. Shaved veggie salad is a pass, crunchy toppers are odd and artificial
Meredith BlechmanDecember 10, 2016Highly recommend the kale and cashew bowl. It's light yet filling.
Jorge UrrutiaFebruary 1, 2018The Kale Cashew Bowl is delicious, filling and healthy. And it has just the right amount of kale (not much)
- Must have the sea scallops and black truffle burger from the dinner menu
- ShivanDecember 5, 2016Good Morning New York City: Classic egg sandwich and drip coffee at this slick diner.
Gisela CabralMarch 22, 2019Good food and nice environment but my eggs Benedict were a little bit cold
- The black truffle burger is 👌. Available for dinner only.
JillianFebruary 21, 2017Burger is good and decor is pretty cool, but honestly, wanted to like this place a lot more than I did
Bradley KaySeptember 9, 2017Nice decor, good service, but everything else disappointed. Huevos rancheros were mildly sweet, no spice or savoriness. Sautéed mushrooms were sweet, no umami. Tap water tasted funny(?!?). Hash was ok
Sam GilMarch 22, 2019Nice place to eat, but food is just solid. Burger was best item. Grilled cheese not great, wings ok, carbonara ok - seemed to use heavy cream.
- Emily WilsonNovember 7, 2016The vibe is cute, but it's barely a "diner" in my book. Egg sandwich could've been amazing (basil vinaigrette? Genius.), but was so overcooked that it wasn't even messy to eat. Ask for your egg runny!
