The falafel isn't falafel, but it's worth coming here just for it.
Kelli YappOctober 22, 2015Coffee is good. Go scope out a table pre 11a when they start serving brunch.
Blair MikelsJanuary 9, 2014Pine nut shortbread is spicy and their pour-over's perfect match. Delicious!
Naphat KijsamrejMay 25, 2016Menu has changed with the original chef leaving. Mostly prepared salads and bowls now. :(
Jason AstonDecember 11, 2017Bypass the hot chocolate. It’s the most expensive drink on the menu and is truly unimaginative and underwhelming. Supposedly it’s made from the brownie batter but just tastes like Swiss Miss.
Perfect if you like small spaces and slow service. The Vietnamese iced coffee is great though.
Amanda NogueiraAugust 25, 2018I had great expectations, but the Devils Chicken was awful. The seasoning of the sweet and sour cabbage was totally wrong and too acid.
- Iced coffee and sweet potato loaf is a strong move any day.
- Bobby WalkerJuly 30, 2016Filthy restaurant, couldn't be more turned off the 'California health kick vibe'.
Minh LeMarch 29, 2014VIC isn't really VIC but still so good. Will give you quite the jolt for the day

"I'm sure the classic platter with lox is delicious, but go out of your comfort zone here. The super heebster bagel toast is incredible. Come before 10 on weekends to skip the line!"
Martina Ekman - 8.6
"Have one savory dish & one sweet then SHARE. Never had pancakes as fluffy as these, waiters are nice, wait is 1-3hrs but they text you when you're table is ready so you don't have to wait outside 👌"
Jovana Obradovic - 8.6
"My favorite spot in NYC! The food here is SO good. The atmosphere is very cozy and hip, and they have great music. Also great for just drinks with some snacks."
