I dream about the egg, cheddar and ham on the everything croissant.
more than decent espresso drinks. sweet but mind-numbingly slow service that caters to a chatty international mommy brigade that has come to define carroll gardens.
Good turkey sandwich indeed. The mayo can be a heaping portion--two occasions for me. So brace yourself to be full.

Zii HammadApril 13, 2015This place is fine. Nothing to rave about. Weird crowd, staff are nice enough. Marble tables are always welcome. Good if you're on the go.
I don't understand why I get a punch in my card for a $2 coffee and not the $4 OJ
This place has gone down pretty rapidly. Weekend staff has a hard time getting correct orders. Even getting decent coffee here is bad. It's too bad it used to be great.
Martin TschammerAugust 23, 2016Overpriced, boring sandwiches. Decent baked goods. If you do go, the muffins are good.
If they have the fried chicken sandwich, don’t look for anything else.
When they have the duck confit, eat it. You'll thank me.
Jeremy SchneiderNovember 23, 2012Apparently seersucker is owned by the same people and they'll let you use their restroom if need be (canteen doesn't have one).
Skip the sausage & egg English muffin and get one of the pastries instead.
