This once enjoyable breakfast juice and burrito spot is increasingly ruined by long lines and the inability of the management to handle volume. Don't get me wrong...I love it here. But less and less.
Emily KaneJune 25, 2017If ever you are so hungover that you are sweating and full of regret and it hurts to exist... I highly recommend getting the cucumber lemonade. It will help, I promise.
Date Night Is...April 30, 2013Grab a sandwich to go and plop down in McCarren park or in the seats out front to watch the world go by as you eat. Great spot for a chill Date Night afternoon outing.
Stephanie ZhongJanuary 25, 2015Quick service, good salad and soup. Somehow, the two times I ordered sandwiches I wasn't too impressed. Outdoor sitting is great for dog watching (it's very close to a dog park) in the summer 🌲☀️🐩
Pamela CastilloSeptember 15, 2015The quesadilla is giant and delicious. They also have this vegan egg salad thats amazing (and Im not even vegan!). Good lunch spot
A fantastic purveyor of the finer things in life: an excellent sandwich and craft beer, right on the south side of McCarren Park. Have a picnic or nurse your hangover inside. Quick service, too.- allisonSeptember 8, 2014From groceries to salads to juice to coffee to sandwiches, you can't go wrong with anything here!
- Stephanie ZhongOctober 29, 2014Grab a salad or a healthy sandwich and sit on the bench outdoor. Perfect pick me up on a sunny Sunday before hitting park across street
Amber MollerAugust 11, 2014Classic Club is delish. Urban Rustic is like a trendier hippie sister to a place you'd find in Berkeley, CA. Feels right at home.
used to love the sandwiches here. then for some reason they took all of them off the menu, plus bagels, other baked goods. try to remember not to come here
Courtney KleinMay 6, 2017Amazing coffee and a great selection of other snacks. Staff were sweethearts, and held it together in the face of rude patrons.- Eric HinmanApril 15, 2014Fantastic oatmeal. Awesome spot for breakfast +/or lunch. Lots of healthy options.
OutwithBabyDecember 4, 2015Granola is the epitome of baby food - basically fruit and yogurt and uncooked cinnamon oatmeal. Lots of choices for moms and dads too.
Shane HuntJuly 19, 2015The breakfast burritos are a good value. Massive and comes with a salad for only $6.50.
Mychal 🍄October 13, 2014Great gluten-free bread, could have been regular, couldn't taste the difference. Try the grape kombucha on tap, bubbly goodness.
Michael 🍷 ElmgreenJuly 15, 2017Great fresh sandwiches and salads and they have an ATM so you can go to the farmer's market.
The menu is changing & their prices on select items are going up (smoothies, coffee, etc.) but they haven't changed them in 3 years. Still always well worth it!
Brandon ChhinJuly 4, 2017Come for the location and outdoor seating by mccarren not for the food. Used to do great sandwiches, but they expanded the menu and now everything is just meh.
Kestrel MontagueMay 11, 2015Saranac juice! Lots of seating! Nice layout for writing/reading/schoolwork.
Bach DaoMarch 6, 2016Get the pulled pork sandwich, it's absolutely delicious. Also they have seating in the weekends.
Heather FinkJuly 14, 2011Amazing wonderland of neat and tasties - they sell "hell or high watermelon" beer! It's a must for hot days. Bring ur goodies and picnic at mccarren. Watch sexy people run the track.
Elevine BergeSeptember 14, 2014Great place to pick up a coffee and catch up with people before/ after the Saturday farmers market in McCarren Park
Alex PyatetskyOctober 8, 2015Best non chipotle American burrito. For under $10. Going to be a regular here
Tahawus sandwich! Chicken salad with a stack of the GOOD bacon on olive tomato bread. I left out the hot peppers.- The Urban Rustic V8 is the perfect detox juice. Excellent with a pulled pork burrito while hungover from last night's carousing.
Great breakfast sandwiches but the service is hit or miss - esp during the weekend rush (i.e. They might screw up your order)
AlexDecember 1, 2017I only eat food from here when I have to catch a flight because I live next door and am a poor planner and the chicken salad sandwich is better than the food at JFK
Order the St. Johns Brook or the St. Regis fresh squeezed juice, both with enough ginger to chase away the mightiest of hangovers
Xotchiltl VasquezSeptember 9, 2014Delicious non-udis gluten free bread that is not only tasty but regular bread sized!
Chloe ReinNovember 21, 2015I really want to like this place since they have so many vegetarian options but they're never really good in the end. Coffee isn't great either. I like their space though
Ben K.March 3, 2013Go for the Tahawus - chicken salad, slab bacon, white cheddar and get it on the rosemary-garlic bread.
Everything good here! Especially the rosemary bread and kale Caesar salad.
Brew YorkAugust 15, 2011This gourmet grocer has a small but powerful selection of beers - in bottles, cans, and in growlers from their three tap lines.
The Armstrong is the pinnacle of the bacon, lettuce, avocado & tomato sandwich art form. Eat one and rejoice!
Gordon MeiNovember 24, 2015Two permanent soups — tomato basil and chicken noodle. One soup of the day.
Armstrong sandwich with tempeh bacon and substitute the white bread for rosemary garlic = delicious.
just finished a smoothie and there's all these ice cubes at the bottom. that's not smooth.
- Unclub Sandwich: tofurkey, fakin bacon, sprouts, tomato, vegenaise, dijon. (then add hot sauce)
The chicken salad sandwich with slab cut bacon on sun dried tomato bread is the best sandwich ever
Matt RosenbergOctober 27, 2012Great morning spot and now they sell artisanal food for your feline friend too!
Josh GuttmanJune 30, 2012Breakfast sandwiches with tempeh bacon are sublime as is the self serve iced coffee bar- Saddleback sandwich is my go to. Iced coffee is nothing to write home about, but it will get the job done.

"Get the Malaysian curry chicken with extra roti. The roti is thicker than what I'm used to at some restaurants but so buttery and good."

"The all day cafe NYC needs. Elevated, adventurous takes on seasonal “sandwiches” and “salads”. The pan bagnat is like the best tuna Niçoise salad on a pillowy soft roll. Bright farmhouse in BK vibes."
Noah Weiss - 8.8
"Everything is delicious, and staff is sweet. One gripe: if I wanted to make my salad, I’d make it at home. They won’t dress them. Toss it in the kitchen, pretty please. Egg sammies & avo toast great"
