Badly roasted coffee or careless brewing? Brackish bitter flavored espresso . They serve it with lemon peel. Little do they know why.
Their omelettes are excellent, especially with goat cheese , and the coffee is delicious. Seats outside are well shaded and are comfortable even on hot days.
Great Sunday brunch . French toast & Salmon Sandwich are must haves.
Atmosphere & coffee is great !! There're many kinds of coffee (ice too )ever seen !
The tiramusu is delicious! It's a cute cozy place not too far from central park . It's candle lit .
They serve one of my regular cravings here: a waffle topped with fresh fruit & Greek yogurt . Scrumptious!
The owner ruins everything. $5 minimum for everyone, even if the place is empty and you want to split a slice of cake ; cash only ; two people can't ever sit at a four-top. Spend your money elsewhere.
Edgar's Favorite Omelette is delicious! Great service, music - a great place for brunch !
Great atmosphere, friendly service ! The owner is really nice and the food is simple, but delicious.
For the avocado and shrimp salad . Was great. Keep in mind, it's cash only
Simple brunch but good. Warmed muffins . Fried eggs .
The soup was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely
Make sure to get the grilled salmon with the bagel . It's great!
I love the waffle with fruit & Greek yogurt .
Cash Only . No cards!

Nice quaint little cafe . Serves breakfast food during weekday lunch if you ask.
So many incredible desserts !
Get the tiramisu .
Grumpy owner with whom we had to insist 5 minutes to have the right to share the bill between attendees .. and cash only ... Aren't we the customers ? Overall cold ambiance. Not worth the detour.
Get the waffles . Thank me later.
No bacon :( Or any meat, for that matter.
Don't come looking for bacon .
show up when you want some cake
Good hot chocolate !
Good service and value. Food ok.
Try the dessert , Calzone !
