Kimberly the Bold IV: weekdays: Get a "rocher" - dark chocolate ganache balls with hazelnuts... perfect breakfast/mid day chocolate infusion: only $1.25! weekends: get a beignet. Everything is awesome. I love this place.
Stuart Adler: Yummy bread baked on-site. Arrive early though, for the whole grain breads
Time Out New York: This charming French patisserie serves eye-catching treats. Seating is limited to five tables and a breakfast bar, so arrive early—you may be able to score an almond croissant before they run out. Read more.
Laura Kolarik: The Big Ragu rice balls are fantastic! And the Saturday Night Fever pizza is spicy and delicious.
Stephen Kline: Great food and a new music scene!
Holiday: Delicious food albeit on high calorie side - pizza, calzones, fries. A couple salad choices but would love to see baked chicken or grilled fish. Too much pizza already in neighborhood.

Josh S.: Try the Coquito cupcake. A tres leches base with added Coquito flavors. So moist and delicious.
The Corcoran Group: Try the Coquito cupcake! Did you know that the proper way to eat a cupcake is to twist off the cake bottom and sandwich the icing? Don't say we never taught you anything.
Stephanie Avilés: Every cupcake ive had here has been great. I was stoked to see so many delicious latin inspired cupcake flavors. My reccommendation: the coquito or dulce de leche cupcake.

Alexis Marie: I LOVE how they serve the oatmeal! They give you plain oatmeal with sides of dry fruit, nut medley, and brown sugar and you are able to add what you want and make your own oatmeal!
Anna maria Jennings: Keep walking up. When u get hot by a car don't complain.
Anthony Maglio: The only 24 hour Starbucks I know of. A little slow, but friendly service.
Renz Pee: This is a nice place to go for a date.. ambience was very old world charm , dim lights etc... food was great too!
The Corcoran Group: One of the better Brooklyn brunch spots, and at $18.95 for all-you-can-drink including an entree, it's less expensive than most Manhattan alternatives. We love the Eggs Benedict here.
ECava: If you're here for dinner, you can ask to be seated in the wine cellar downstairs. !!
