    So worthwhile. Not your everyday bfast sandwich because it's pricey and quite filling, but it was worth every penny. Best egg sandwich I've ever had (I got the farmhouse).

    The Classic is so good that you'll make an excuse to travel 56 blocks and then make another excuse to go back up and order the Farmhouse.

    About two dollars over-priced, but still a good array of options and they'll make any sandwich order into a nice bowl for those carb-minded people.

    Try the classic BEC sandwich! Locally souced organic eggs getting married with cheese and bacon in a softy warm bread. A bit expensive. Cashless.

    I always go with the "Bistec" & the "BEC Classic" with a side of the Roasted Potatoes with Peppers & Onions. Wash it down with coffee from Brooklyn Roasting and you are golden.

    Breakfast spot specializing in bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. Delicious and creative, also with vegetarian options!

    Bacon egg and cheeses are ok! So over hyped! Cute inside. On the menu it said iced tea and they gave me nutmeg juice. I swear to god I felt like I was drinking liquid nutmeg called iced tea!

    The Farmhouse is perfection. Sweet and salty from the fig jam and pancetta layered together, with a gooey egg in the middle.

    The Roadhouse is topped with a sweet bbq sauce that is absolutely amazing

    Start with the Classic and work your way through the menu. Can't go wrong any time of day.

    The "classic" BEC was excellent. Just don't be in a hurry or order a large iced coffee because their service is slow and large iced coffee would be called "small" everywhere else

    Can't complain about a restaurant devoted to the bacon egg and cheese. Do yourself a favor and always add avocado.

    The classic egg sandwich is great. Try the farmhouse for a good twist.

    They do what they promise. Make an excellent bacon, egg, cheese sandwich. Quality bread and ingredients.

    Tried the classic BEC, it was great but the price was too much - I would at least expect a side of hash browns with the meal.

    The Farmhouse was possibly the most flavorful egg sandwich I've ever had, but too pricy to become a regular spot.

    It's good, but is it worth the price and wait? I thought the ham quality on the Spicy Spaniard (skip) was not up to snuff. 5x a normal BEC cost but not 5x the taste!

    The "classic" bacon egg and cheese was fine, but it wasn't very classic, and any decent bodega would make a much better bec.

    Credit cards only, no cash. That's some classist bullshit. Not that anyone who's not doing ok is coming in for a $9 bacon egg and cheese. That said, the sandwich was good.

    Not my fave BEC (nothing satisfies quite like the simple classic), but not bad when you're in the mood for something a bit more fancy pants.

    All these hype about this place... I went today and was not satisfied... Bread was a bit stale and egg was over cooked... Not worth $10.00
