1) the most delicious regular coffee in the neighborhood; get it w almond milk. But you'll have to bring your own Splenda. 2)incredible popovers 3) don't miss the steak&egg sandwich; add fontina!
Kelly CJune 9, 2014Such a cute neighborhood local spot. Went 2x on my weekend trip. Avocado toast with egg white and tomato. Agree with all tips, egg sandwiches are a must.
Ingvild M. PlosivOctober 19, 2014Such a great little breakfast place! Ciabatta with ham and figs is my favorite so far. Try it out - and bring cash!
DinaMay 9, 2014A casual spot with a menu of sandwiches, salads and breakfast. Good ingredients, simple but good preparation. Great to sit with a book and linger. Coffee and tea.
I love this tiny spot for food. Club sandwich and avocado toast are what's up. Coffee is always just warm though so go espresso drinks. Also cash only.
Obsessed with the egg sandwich! Have it with asiago cheese, bacon, tomato, & avocado on ciabatta. $10, cash only. SO GOOD.
Egg sandwich is good, so are the popovers! (If the popovers aren't hot, they'll toast em with butter—flatter but still yummy)
Grace S.July 8, 2013Made to order breakfast sandwiches! Grilled flour tortilla, egg whites, avocado, basil, tomato and cheese
- Grace S.June 23, 2012Great made to order egg sandwiches (I get avocado, bacon, basil and cheese on ciabatta) and different flavored iced teas. Good pastries too!
egg sandwich on a popover w turkey tomato and avo-- new breakfast ritual! Fresh local ingredients, super sweet staff.
MarthaMarch 15, 2015it is indeed very local. owner is awesome, staff always friendly. i love their homemade cookies!
Noah WeissJuly 2, 2012Egg sandwiches are legit here. Customize it with anything from sun-dried tomatoes to avocado. Solid ciabatta, too.- Get dat spicy meatball sandwich. So good! If you have tried it already, go for the egg sandwich.
Alex PandelSeptember 4, 2013The popovers are to DIE for. Get one toasted with jam, or plain right out of the big glass jar. YUM!
AmateurConciergeSeptember 21, 2014Perfect for a soho lunch break: light fare that's well priced and made with great ingredients
Egg sandwich w/ bacon! Popovers! The cutest little place for breakfast goods and simple lunch. Start my day off here several times a week, can't go wrong!- DoubleDeuceOctober 13, 2014Cash only. Very charming neighborhood spot. Not fast but minimally prepared food that tastes fine and leaves you with a neighborhood vibe.
- Josh MateoJuly 3, 2015Turkey Avocado Club on point. Nice little outdoor space, meet friendly dogs, sip some tea.
- Thomas ReintjesAugust 12, 2014They transformed a parking space into a nice (public) outdoor seating, and they'll serve your food there after ordering at the counter.
Jen BergApril 22, 2011Great neighborhood spot. Nothing beats a coffee, fresh popover and good book. Sometimes tough to get a table but there are worse problems. Love it here!
Benjamin PalmerSeptember 12, 2014My favorite egg sandwich in NYC: eggs on 7 grain toast, bacon, fresh mozzarella, avocado, basil. ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
BeeJanuary 21, 2015The Turkey Avacado club is on the smaller side for a $10 sandwich, but packed with flavor!
Andrew FurmanApril 28, 2015No bathrooms, no credit cards, no laptops. BUT awesome bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches.
CREATETHE GROUPNovember 22, 2011Awesome neighborhood café, the owner is always around and friendly. Try their popovers, croissants or oatmeal in the morning. -Diana
Their chipotle chicken salad wrap and green tea with coconut are a must.
Egg sandwich with bacon, asiago, tomato, and avocado. Add hot sauce if that's your thing. On ciabatta. Don't share it.
Thompson HotelsFebruary 24, 2012Our favorite neighborhood stop for fresh-roasted, fair-trade coffee. The avocado toast is also superb.
Madeline VuJuly 29, 2015My coworkers and I stopped by the other day and we had a meh experience. I was very excited for my steak sandwich but the steak was cut too thick, making it chewy. Portions not worth $11.
Maria NokkonenJuly 6, 2012Cute little cafe with organic and fair trade goods. Delicious oatmeal - simple does it.
Daniel M.December 24, 2012Cozy atmosphere and tasty food, but no public restroom, so plan accordingly.
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 10, 2015Avacado toast is scrumptious. but at $7 a pop I'm stealing this recipe and making it at home.
Simple yet excellent breakfast sandwiches. Eggs w/ fontina & bacon on toasted seven-grain put extra pep in my step!
Geraldine ChungJune 23, 2010Specializing in all locally grown food sources. Happy Hour is Tuesday-Saturday from 3-7pm. $5 each for wine, beer, and appetizers!
highly rec their all natural turkey avocado club, tuna melt and chicken chipotle salad wrap
Camilla CDecember 1, 2014Really wish they would serve their breakfast sandwiches warm... Not a fan of lukewarm eggs and cold avocados on non-toasted bread.
healthy appreciation for putting avos on everything...plus now there's a cute "porch" outside on the curb!
Jalak JobanputraNovember 19, 2010You can't go wrong here, organic and local. great for vegetarians and their carnivore friends.
