Jacob BøtterJune 7, 2013One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. I had the blueberry pancakes and added some sugar-cured bacon. I don't even know how to describe how good that was.
Natalie ChengDecember 16, 2017Get there early to avoid a long wait. The blueberry pancakes were fluffy and delicious with a bit of a crispy outside
Eileen ChengAugust 21, 2013Have someone go early for you, the line is always ridiculous. But the blueberry pancakes with warm maple syrup is totally worth the wait! So are the latkes with cinnamon sour cream! #nomnomnom
Evens PierreLouisMarch 12, 2013the food is awesome here ... to me is the nicest Haitian restaurant i have been too.... the food ...griot (fried pork shoulders) with piklz is nice...the cabrit (fried goat) nice and crunch on
Alyssa B.December 7, 2021Seating for one was easy. Ordered a latke benedict at 3pm, yummy and filling.
Jonathan NganduOctober 14, 2019Really tasty pancakes. It gets really busy so i suggest getting there early or using the yelp app to reserve a table
Alice AlyssJuly 12, 2015Love the blue berries pancakes. It got so many blue berries it is comparing to what you would get in other breakfast places.
Edlin ChoiApril 7, 2012This was bomb. Blueberry pancakes for the win. Get a side of bacon and try the hot apple cider. Or the brunch cocktails and milkshakes looked good. Be here early, wait is… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Polina WeitzJuly 25, 2018Blueberry pancakes and brioche french toast were delicious and enormous. Prepare for a long wait on the weekends, but they will text you when you're table is ready.
Mr. Mu~ © 🚗April 14, 2017Yummiest ever, go for pineapple waffle. Don't forget to reserve a table, otherwise you need to wait for minimum 45 minutes.
- Dolci KeyMarch 13, 2018Pancake month in Feb... a new kind every day! Cash only. Always a little busy. The portions are definitely shareable.
cnelson ︻╦╤─October 6, 2018Good breakfast but not worth a multi-hour wait. Show up 20-30 min before opening to get a seat with a short wait.
Joelle H.October 23, 2014EVERYTHING on their menu is amazingly good. We had salmon scrambled eggs & pancakes but kept drooling over all the dishes being served at other tables. Babies allowed but no strollers.
Oliver CeballosJanuary 6, 2013Amazing little place. We tried the spanish scramble and blueberry pancakes and it was delish. There was a lineup when we got there but kindly got a table right away cause we were 2 ;)
Blair NelsonNovember 9, 2012Dinner is the way to go - no wait and you can still get the delicious pancakes. Plus, if you're there at the end of the day, you might just score some free baked goods to take home.
Came at 1pm on a Saturday, and there was no wait for the bar! Cash only for brunch. Cards accepted for dinner. 1/2 bottle wine on Monday!
Tamara BrownJuly 17, 2014We went Thursday around 11. Only 15 min wait. Definitely recommend the brioche french toast and the southern breakfast!
Ben MackeyAugust 22, 2015Well known for the blueberry pancakes and friend chicken and waffles, but the brunch menu is actually pretty extensive. The Farmer's Plate was excellent.
Plwm BwmApril 4, 2013Worth the wait to get a table. Recommend going to Cocoa Bar for a couple of hot chocolates while waiting for your table. The waffle & pancakes with male butter is superb.
BettyAugust 30, 2016Came here on a weeknight to avoid the crowds. Honestly, for their fried chicken and sugar cured bacon, I'd happily wait.
Charlotte & LisaJune 5, 2012Must try the buttermilk biscuit sandwich and banana pancakes. Best time to get a table after 2 PM weekdays. No reservations accepted and lines often 3 hours +. What won't we do for a good brunch?
Shirley ZhuJuly 26, 2016The blueberry pancakes and sugar cured bacon are amazing! There is usually a line, but well worth the wait
İpek A.June 13, 2016Such a lovely place to have a delicious breakfast. Clinton St Omlette and pancakes are really good.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014Arriving for dinner allows you to skip the line, but still order many of the same dishes available at brunch. And yes, the blueberry pancakes are phenomenal.
Chen Yang LhoJanuary 23, 2018Love the chicken and waffles, bring someone here on a date to share it if you can. Recommend the seasonal Buttered Rum too. Great service!
Christina ChinDecember 26, 2017Pancakes!!! Can be long wait tho, but at least they txt you when a table is ready. Sugar cured bacon also delish
Crystal RozanskiMarch 9, 2013Ridiculous wait but w/ on-line app, you can do other stuff like a pedi and come back just in time for HANDS DOWN, the best French toast, blueberry pancakes & SUGAR CURED BACON! FYI - Cash only
ClaudioApril 21, 2016Chocolate chunk pancakes and blueberry pancakes, flavorful and with maple/butter on the side. Arrive early…
Erin HodgesApril 7, 2014Get the omelette an split pancakes with a friend!! Both are spectacular!! Oh and go at night! They serve breakfast all day and no 3 hour wait like in the mornings!
Erika Lopez GarciaJune 26, 2015Definitely go for the pancakes, both options are absolutely delicious! If you don't want to deal with the weekend brunch rush, go on a weekday evening!
Jacob ForsterAugust 7, 2015If there are pancakes in heaven, this is what they taste like. Get there early on a weekday to avoid the ungodly wait times.
Freka SexyFebruary 19, 2015I ordered pancakes, bacon, home fries, an omelette and an apple pie. I enjoyed the bacon and the omelette the most!! All the the other stuff ... I've had better!
Christina C.December 3, 2012The black & white cake is decadent but oh so delicious. The pumpkin cheesecake was creamy. They were nice enough to give us that morning's scones for free since we were there late at night.
LuborJanuary 4, 2015The pancakes were great, especially the maple syrup blended with melted butter but I think that Spoon does even better pancakes.
sMarch 13, 2019Perfect diner for late-night breakfasts, rich milkshakes and mind-blowingly delicious chicken and waffles.
Thomas HolmenMay 3, 2019A little expensive for our taste, but well worth a visit for some fantastic breakfast. Try the eggs benedict.
SparkieSeptember 25, 2012Lower East Side – known for their delish baked goods (cash only) The Amazing New York Blog says they have the best pancakes in NYC and this place is on their top NY Brunch list!
New York HabitatNovember 1, 2011You'll likely have to wait a while to get a seat here around brunch time so when you do sit down, don't leave without getting their unbelievable blueberry pancakes and sugar cured bacon!
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014Most people come here for their legendary pancakes and other breakfast dishes. February is 'Pancake Month' in which a new pancake flavor is featured each day. Read more
D C🐧April 27, 2015The blueberry pancakes with the maple syrup taste soo good! I wish there were a bday cake that tasted just like it! The coffee is so good!
Rong NguyenJanuary 23, 2012Cash only!!! French brioche banana w/ pecans was excellent, blueberries pancakes great warm & with dipping sauce. Sugar cured bacon for the Bacon lovers! Wait on a Monday at 11:30 was 30 mins
Marissa HJuly 7, 2014The pancakes are so amazing but so filling.. The "warm apple butter" tastes like straight up liquid caramel. The fish tacos are amazing and have a large portion of fish in them.- K. M.May 28, 2015Great pancakes! Beautiful breakfast. To avoid the line, come on a weekday or be here at the time it opens on weekends and holidays.
- Nate BeattyApril 13, 2015Waffles were the perfect fluffy consistency. Like... Absolutely perfect. The chefs must use lots of magic and butter. I'll be coming back. Worth the wait.
Lisa RayleSeptember 11, 2015The biscuit used for the eggs benedict makes it stand out. The blueberry pancakes are also delicious, although I couldn't eat a whole stack of them.
Blueberry pancakes are a MUST. I have eaten a ton of pancakes in my day, but these are honestly the best I can ever remember eating.
Sam BloorNovember 1, 2015Get there early, there is always a queue! Worth the wait though. We arrived at 10am on a Saturday and it took 45 mins to be seated.
