Taline Ekmekjian: The Jew egg (egg in falafel with tsatsiki sauce), the tuna with black tahini, the lamb ribs and the challah caramel popcorn bread budding!
Vicky Sun: Make reservations. The menu changes daily and is displayed on a chalkboard above the bar so sit at the bar for easy ordering. Great and creative food, toro toast and challah bread are amazing.
Emily K.: The sakekasu challah bread is a must, mostly because that golden raisin butter is one of the tastiest, most memorable things you'll eat.

Aidan D: Shakshooka is a best seller for a reason, it's great. Mine came with a small challah loaf. Everything is homemade
Ryan Petrich: The shakshuka is a tasty blend of tomatoes, onions, peppers, egg and spices. It comes with a Challah bread. Add feta to put it over the top.
Eduardo Ramirez: Shakshuka + challah bread are a must. The pancakes are 👌🏼 as well!

Aesop FableMonster: Amazing bagels, the sweet rolls, and the Challah bread.
Steve LeVine: Had an everything bagel with plain cream cheese and lox. Bagel was fresh and tasty. The cream cheese to lox ratio was good. And this was under $7 which absolutely surprised me- I expected around $10.
Alina Maria: Definetly the small & niched places like this are worthing a lot. Good bread, good assortment, good bagels, everything is fresh. The costs are too low for the quality offered.

Flo Flo: Nothing special and wayyyyy over priced. Breakfast for two was $60 with tip and no alcohol. Ordered 2 coffees, challah French toast and 2 of the dough plates. There are better options out there.
Sparkie: Brooklyn (Park Slope) – Israeli brunch with challah french toast! Brunch items are $12.50 and also has a la carte prices and items
Mike Friedman: Best Israeli brunch in NYC (or a close second to Café Orlin) - worth a decent wait on 5th Ave. Burekas are not to be missed. Don't be afraid to opt for a pita sandwich like the Sabich (pictured here).

Katherine D: Awesome neighborhood diner. Good service, great omelets and delicious challah French toast! Don't forget to get the fresh squeezed OJ!!
Melody Gambino: Favorite diner in the neighborhood. Get blueberry pancakes or one of their many baked potato variations.
Kim Navarre: Caesar is the best waiter. We have been sitting in his section for over 20 years. We moved to Cobble Hill but still come here for the delicious breakfast and perfectly cooked eggs.

Hailey Heewoo Kim: the food here was a real treat!! the space is beautiful too!! highly recommend the rabbit tacos, the lamb, challah, and the labneh. wish I could have tried some more. will DEFINITELY be back!
Emily Wilson: Everything is delicious. Definitely get at least one flatbread and an order of labneh to start. If you're a bourbon fan, I highly recommend the astrid—super simple and refreshing.
The New Yorker: “Glasserie’s convivial ethos feels in keeping with the way we like to eat now: gone is the three-course meal, and, instead, appetizers become entrées, and back again, all of it customizable.” Read more.

Dorothy Lê: Best croissants and challah in NYC. Get there early Friday's for the challah for Shabbat
Justin H: Best almond croissants in New York, hands-down. Not to mention perhaps the best regular croissant too.
Village Voice: Pizza with no cheese…how…and more importantly, why? But the Sicilian Breakfast Pizza is a thick square of warm pastry and tomato-ey goodness.
