Rudy GironNovember 8, 2013Try the Shakshouka - Spicy poached eggs in fresh tomatoes, peppers, onions & spices, served with Israeli cous cous and pita bread.
Jennifer EwingJune 2, 2014Shakshouka eggs as others have TIPPED are the differentiator from a brunch menu perspective - dogs welcome!(outside). Service hit or miss...
Cute place for brunch. They don't serve bagels anymore but the menu is still yummy and the coffee is good too.
James IngrassellinoDecember 1, 2013The food was great. The servers were very friendly, but seemed to forget about us. Waited forever for our coffee. Never really checked on us. Be prepared to wait if you're going to eat here.
Venera VarbanovaMay 16, 2015Good brunch options, outdoor seating, big screens to watch a game inside, but service can be a little slow at times
Alyxa LeaseApril 27, 2014Mediterranean eggs are a must. Service isn't the best but doesn't take away from the experience
NetsirkAugust 27, 2015The gelato is pretty tasty. Try their pistachio flavored one on a hot summer day.
Sandy PaoJune 30, 2013Best service ever!! Waitress ran to catch up to us to give us our cc back!! So sweet!
Léna Le RollandNovember 18, 2014Nice little place, sandwichs/wraps are good ! Service is a little slow
Jamie WollbergMay 25, 2015I used to love Bread Box, but our waitress just asked us if we got our food...oh, you mean the breakfast food we ordered 45 minutes ago?
Leslie TAugust 6, 2013I love the Shaksouka - Spicy Poached Eggs! It's a big dish, so it's shareable.
The everything bagel is really good. Sadly, the music they always play is of the bad VH1 variety, but all is forgiven because the people are really nice.
Aaron DancygierMarch 29, 2013Unfortunately they don't make bagels anymore. They needed to market them better. How would you even know they have bagels here. Certainly new yorkers like bagels.
RinaMay 25, 2010Order the following: olive cream cheese, avocado and onion on an everything bagel. Also, try to steal a rolling pin.
Heidy MartinezJuly 4, 2016The food is nothing special, I had the Mediterranean eggs and it was literally 4 poached eggs floating in a vodka sauce, the Eggs Benedict were over cooked. Do not recommend this place at all.
Dana OMalleyJuly 18, 2012I'm never amazed by the food here. I say skip it and head to Alobar for brunch.
Thomas PajorMay 1, 2015Slow service (almost European). Food was alright. I had the Caprese Sandwich which was good.
Joe JabaleyOctober 11, 2011Went for breakfast and to work. Wifi was working when I checked outside before going in. After I ordered (in the empty dining room) it stopped working. Had to get up for my check. Not a do over!
Salmon Bagel Benedict. If you don't know you better ask somebody
Good stuff. Bagels anyway, have yet to try other food
max tyorkinJuly 2, 2010If you don't do waitress service you get relegated to two table tops in the corner
It's just ok! You can get a better coffee at the gas station next door.
No simple syrup for the iced Coffee?!!?!?! Try Sweet leaf a few blocks away!
- Chicken noodle soup horrible! Greasy tasteless and without noodles!!!!
