The buttermilk pancakes (despite having honeycomb) hit a perfect balance on flavors and are not at all too sweet! The toasted hazelnuts and banana really pulled through nice flavors without overpowering. The shakshuka had some nice zing to it, but a bit heavy on the silantro. Same high quality ingredients cooked with care for the other dishes too. Overall, whatever you pick on the menu you’ll be very happy! The coffee is “chefs kiss”, and the hot chocolate too is not too sweet and just great quality. The wait is probably a bit too long to become my go to takeaway spot but in terms of quality it’s right at the top of my list in NYC. The service felt a bit rushed and inexperienced. We asked for a table and were given a time to return, but then someone else had been given it and without an ounce of embarrassment were asked to wait 25 mins again. There’s also a lot of movement happening collecting dishes etc for not a lot of output, e.g. they don’t make eye contact etc in the process so it’s hard to ask for things. The waiting staff’s quality felt especially surprising given the contrast when compared to the focussed execution of both the baristas and kitchen staff. However the service is made up for by a cozy ambience, great soundtrack (and appropriate volume) and comfortable lighting and chatter noise. Can strongly recommend but hope they can work together on raising the professionalism bar of the waiting staff.

One of my favorite go-to spots before work! Very attentive and friendly service, excellent food and coffee options. I have tried Mary’s mushrooms, the French toast, avocado toast, and Collin’s granola that have all been amazing! I also love their cappuccino and chai latte that have both been great!

A very cozy and busy brunch location in midtown. They don’t take reservations so we had to wait 30 minutes but it was well worth the wait. The eggs Benny was very tasty and the bread has the perfect amount of crunch. The French toast was one of the best I’ve ever had. The espresso drinks had a nice richness and not too acidic. Taking off one star because the male hostess who was seating people was extremely rude when we asked about wait time. All the other staff were lovely and helpful.

The food was flavorful and had unique elements that stood out from traditional breakfast places. We had the salmon Benedict eggs, the salmon roti and the French toast with a side of bacon. They were all delicious but the French toast with challah bread was my favorite. The average wait for a table of 4 was about 30 minutes.

Lovely little cafe for a breakfast in midtown. We ordered pancakes and avocado toast. Pancakes are generous and fluffy. Avocado toast was delicious loved the addition of mint. Coffee is good, flat white as it should be. Worth a visit.

If you prefer a healthy breakfast, this is the perfect spot. Everything we tried was incredibly delicious, and the coffees were excellent as well. Since the place is quite small, you may need to wait a little while for a table.

I was craving pancakes, and found this spot near our place. Good thing, this was close by and the wait wasn’t too long! While waiting, I ordered a cappuccino. Good amount of kick to start my day. We got seated after maybe 10 minutes? Order my pancakes and my husband ordered the eggs benny. Pancakes were good, and it didn’t need syrup. I liked that it had toasted hazelnuts! Couldn’t finish all three, so my husband finished the last one. The eggs benny was good too. Hollandaise could be a bit more tangy in taste, but that is just my preference. The potatoes that came with it were Ordered a cup of drip coffee. It was a good end to the meal. Would come back!

Friendly service and portions were good enough. My partner got the Green Eggs n Damn! I felt they added too much spinach but it was delicious anyway. I got the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito. It was amazing. The only issue was that they didn’t have a few drinks we wanted including the orange juice. The music was loud but that shouldn’t be a problem if you’re ok with it. Either way it was a good experience. Will go back for sure.
