@sloaneMarch 26, 2011Great vibe, great food. A perfect spot to meet up with friends on a weekend afternoon.
Perfect place to warm up on a rainy afternoon. The roast beef sandwich is a delicious lunch option, and don't skip the sea salt chocolate chip cookies for dessert!
Jenne RaubJune 30, 2011Charming atmosphere. Teeny tiny little front patio perfect for wine-sipping. Nice wood panelled walls.
Caroline JacksonJune 12, 2011Best brunch menu item - oatmeal with coconut milk, followed closely by ricotta toast. Best allthetime menu item - minted sugar snap peas...!
Rachel HarrisonJanuary 22, 2013I like the tables in the back. I always see terry Richardson back here and he cracks me up.
Sonny KwokJuly 5, 2017Service was SO terrible, our waitress seemed like she couldn't wait for us to be done, always disappearing to the back exit. Food was pretty good, but we will never return due to the service.
Get a pot of Mariage Frere tea, a chocolate chip sea salt cookie and love your life.
Brunch time favorite. Order the sweet potato biscuits for the table. Bite-sized deliciousness
Kazem EdmondSeptember 12, 2014This place has the dumbest name of any restaurant/bar that I've been to in NYC. However, it's a really nice place to visit, with great service and food. The cocktails are decent.
AmateurConciergeMarch 25, 2015The scene is cool but the food is a bit overhyped. The chicken Harissa sandwich is hugely overrated. The bacon, however, is not.
Mario PJanuary 5, 2015Fratty atmosphere and indifferent service. The eggs baked with avocado were so overcooked that they were almost hardboiled. The drinks were overpriced at $12. I would have paid $8 max.
Janis KupersmidtApril 2, 2013Everything is delicious but the salted dark chocolate chip cookies are amazing
Roast beef is delicious BUT you need to try the roasted chicken & manchego, too. Seriously.
- Patrick CollisonFebruary 13, 2012The oatmeal is made with coconut milk. Ask for it with figs and berries.
The Baguette French Toast is completely underwhelming and overrated. Get the buckwheat pancakes or baked eggs instead.
Andrew CerdaNovember 22, 2011Make sure you have the extended menu that includes biscuits and baked eggs.
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014April Bloomfield, chef of The Breslin Bar & Dining Room, eats here on her nights off. She loves the Bibb lettuce & shaved radish. Read more
Steve LeVineOctober 16, 2012You don't eat the Dark Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt cookie- you experience it. Save room and do it!
Greg MacDonaldSeptember 20, 2015Really great decor/atmosphere, but there was no air conditioning on a hot night and the service wasn't friendly.
Alex LimpaecherDecember 28, 2014Brunch cocktails were not that good. Egg sandwich was uninspired. Ambience is very enjoyable
jared zlotnickMarch 11, 2011Start with goat cheese and mussels. For dinner, the chicken is excellent.
Carl MartinOctober 12, 2015The steak and eggs for brunch made me want to take my clothes off. THAT good.
Nick HuddlestonOctober 20, 2012Do not leave w/out a side order of the thick slab maple-glazed bacon.

A cozy, subterranean café on picturesque Bond Street in Downtown Manhattan. Located in a landmark 1830s Federal-style townhouse, the café is firmly rooted in the local community and serves as a clubhouse of sorts serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
