    The best breakfast sandwiches in NYC and I don't say that flippantly. The egg, cheddar and chorizo is exceptional. Get it with avocado if that's your thing.

    Bacon egg sandwich done right. So far Cortado and latte have both been great. Late still has a great bean flavor instead of tasting like water and sugar like some places. Gem! Really cool staff.

    Lovely coffee shop! Grab a medium latte w/ half and half milk. I like adding syrup and a spoon of sugar for my sweet teeth. Music is always good in this place. Say hi to Phil for me :D

    I come here from near and far for their grits bowl. Best breakfast in NYC. Poached egg, cheese, kale, bacon, and lots of love.

    Charming staff, delicious cookies like sea salt/espresso/chocolate chip and Honeysuckle sea salt sugar cane coffee make this a must stop.

    Breakfast food and Dough donuts. Cool little out of the way spot next to the Marcy Ave station. Ideal for commuters.

    Cash only. Reyes, the cook, is friendly. Ask for a buy ten, get one free loyalty coffee card. The coffee and cookies (by Zandy Mangold) are good.

    Any place that has Tapatio hot sauce is alright with me. Pour it all over the AMAZING grits. Wash down with delicious cider or coffee

    People here are really sweet, but they really need to work on their coffee. Espresso is bad and they steam their drinks way too hot. I hope they get better because I want them to do well.
