Sexy LFOctober 19, 2014While the food was delicious (I recommend the flank steak), the service is a tad slow.
Rachel HarrisonJanuary 22, 2013I like the tables in the back. I always see terry Richardson back here and he cracks me up.
Kat KarimiFebruary 16, 2012Great mussels in coconut lemongrass broth. Perfect for a late night snack.
Jenne RaubJune 30, 2011Charming atmosphere. Teeny tiny little front patio perfect for wine-sipping. Nice wood panelled walls.
@sloaneMarch 26, 2011Great vibe, great food. A perfect spot to meet up with friends on a weekend afternoon.
Brunch time favorite. Order the sweet potato biscuits for the table. Bite-sized deliciousness
Mario PJanuary 5, 2015Fratty atmosphere and indifferent service. The eggs baked with avocado were so overcooked that they were almost hardboiled. The drinks were overpriced at $12. I would have paid $8 max.
Perfect place to warm up on a rainy afternoon. The roast beef sandwich is a delicious lunch option, and don't skip the sea salt chocolate chip cookies for dessert!
Chefs FeedAugust 22, 2014April Bloomfield, chef of The Breslin Bar & Dining Room, eats here on her nights off. She loves the Bibb lettuce & shaved radish. Read more
Cheapeats IncSeptember 24, 2011Shopping & eating under 1 roof. I love their ricotta with figs & honey sandwich.
- Patrick CollisonFebruary 13, 2012The oatmeal is made with coconut milk. Ask for it with figs and berries.
Kazem EdmondSeptember 12, 2014This place has the dumbest name of any restaurant/bar that I've been to in NYC. However, it's a really nice place to visit, with great service and food. The cocktails are decent.
Roast beef sandwich and Brie and chocolate baguette
Kenneth LuNovember 2, 2016Choose a different place to eat leisurely. Otherwise, they will rush you and decide to put their rustic decorations over you even during slow hours.
Grilled cheese special - Cheddar, caramelized onions, and tomato jam on buttery white bread. Delicious.

A cozy, subterranean café on picturesque Bond Street in Downtown Manhattan. Located in a landmark 1830s Federal-style townhouse, the café is firmly rooted in the local community and serves as a clubhouse of sorts serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

"Cinammon cruller over maple cruller, no doubt. I tried them both, so I know. Cinammon sugar donuts are also my favorite kind so there's that. An absolute contender (winner?) for best donut in NYC."

"A longtime West Chelsea mainstay. Check out the ancient espresso machine. If you want to venture beyond their great croissants, they have a super-rich almond brioche toast, and a nice coffee eclair."
Tim Shey - 8.7
"One of the best cookies I’ve ever had - molten, crispy, dark chocolate, nutty"

"Great food, well made cocktails, friendly staff, and a relaxed vibe make this NoHo hotspot a go-to. While it can get packed on the weekend, beat the crowds and stop by on a Weds or Thurs night. —Joey"
Bollare - 8.8
"A craft coffee staple in NYC. A stand-style storefront, with an open view and only half a dozen seats. Intelligenstia house brew, great pastries, and punch cards."
