Everything is yummy, the 2 eggs deal for $4 is amazing and fresh the vinaigrette they used on the greens was pretty tasty as well. Now to the French toast, one word DELICIOUS! Reasonable & good 😊

In picture, baked eggs with Italian sausage basil and onions, with a side of bacon 🥓 Really good, specially on hangover’s Sundays.

This is a neighborhood spot I love to go too. I will usually go an off peak hour. I like when it is quiet and not too many people. Food is great breakfast and dinner. I love the steak and salad.

Fluffy fluffy pancakes with all sorts of toppings. French toast looked good too. Mochas have just the right amount of chocolate sweetness. FYI: cash only.

Fantastic brunch and now serving dinner. I had the eggplant parm - a lot like my mom makes - and a great caeser salad. Next time I will have to try the $4 penne alla vodka. Great coffee to finish.

The wait for a table at Sunday brunch has grown along with the popularity of this neighborhood spot. It features good food at reasonable prices. I enjoy the baked eggs with sausage and cheddar grits.

This place makes delicious baked egg dishes that are cheap and filling. The florentine baked eggs (and also the creamy spinach and feta one) are both excellent options. Read more

Frequented by locals. Always great service with a smile. Portions are not oversized (which is good!) and all dishes I tried were delicious.

Texas French Toast is out of this world! No additional maple syrup necessary. Also $4 eggs with salad, home fries and toast is tried and true and doesn't get better than that!
Giovanni D'PalmaOctober 25, 2015
Great brunch spot! Nice change from the other places around that are all about booze. Try the Italian sausage and eggs

Great breakfast special and surprisingly good coffee! Free Wi-Fi, too. (WiFi password is the phone number:2122281260) There's only one outlet near the back, tho, so come charged up.

Cash only - cheaper/faster alternative to Clinton Street Baking Co. They shine with French toast, pancakes and baked eggs.
Samantha KellyJanuary 20, 2013
Get the pancakes with fresh fruit! If you're coming here for a drink get Matilda beer - brewed in Chicago + slightly spicy, you can't find in many places in NYC
Fernanda PinedaOctober 22, 2014
Wonderful brunch! Scrambled eggs + sweet potato fries + portobello mushrooms + turkey bacon ❤️
Tantek ÇelikJune 7, 2014
2 egg breakfast is EXCELLENT! Get it scrambled with cheddar on top.
Carlos LopesMarch 16, 2016
Very decent prices and excellent food. Keep in mind that they only take cash, but there's an ATM inside the Duane Reade across the street just in case.
Katie MillerOctober 15, 2012
One of my favorite brunch spots! Fresh food, great menu and cheap drink specials for sangria and mimosas. Everything from French toast to eggs are worth trying.

Solid brunch option if you don't want drinks included with the entries. Cash only

Baked eggs are overcooked, but still are delicious. Good spot for a weekend brunch.
Jonathan MoroJanuary 16, 2017

Great service and cute little place on the corner. Amazing prices and for just 4 dollars you get a big plate of pasta that tastes amazing !
Ashley DNovember 28, 2013
Stay away from the spaghetti and meatballs. I was so amazed by how good the appetizers were but once I got my entree--spaghetti and meatballs, it was a HUGE letdown.
Julia KernAugust 24, 2012
This place is fucking awesome. Cheap brunch and it's delicious. Got two entrees because why the hell not, and they were both great -- waffles + scrambled eggs/sausage.

Baked eggs with sausage! Such a hearty breakfast to get you going for the day.
Tashi HaskinApril 2, 2014
The penne alla vodka is delicious! Try the $4 deal that includes salad and bread.
Umair ZiaFebruary 2, 2014
Smoked salmon crepe with pesto, and organic eggs croissant with cheddar and turkey. Effin' delicious & decent prices.
Rafael N. CollazoNovember 5, 2013
Have The Vodka Penne $4 Awesome Price Great Portion...Comes With Salad & Bread...If You Add Grilled Chicken $9. Place is Clean Establishment. Sevice Good.

Small and loud, but good food and great service. Oh, and a great heater.
Rudolph PachecoMarch 8, 2017
The portobello mushroom burger with fries was good. Bartender can't make a good gin martini and cannot follow instructions given by waitress. Not a place for functioning alcoholics.

Good for dinner, but really best for brunch. Go here when you're sick of waiting in line at Clinton St. Baking Co.
Danley HuOctober 4, 2014
Brunch is amazing here! Not pricey and food is good quality !
New York HabitatOctober 11, 2011
In the East Village just north of Houston St. is this inviting Italian café. Cheap prices, great food, and great atmosphere. Try the french toast!
Fati HussainJuly 3, 2015
The pancakes here are great!
Rhea 🌺 PApril 12, 2015
Try their french toast and Angus beef burger - with caramelized onions and avocado with cheddar ... Amazing!
Stella ZeeJuly 3, 2014
Their 4 dollar pasta is seriously on a level of it's own. It's a good portion too!
mausinOctober 20, 2012
French toast with a side of bacon -- YES! A real sized side of bacon too! Crispy goodness. &good soundtrack.
Kimmie OhhDecember 15, 2019
This is a great breakfast/brunch spot. Get their crepes or pancakes.
Leonor TorresJanuary 19, 2014
The lamb is really good! The desserts are also very nice, especially the apple and pecan pie.
Lulu HerzogApril 9, 2012
A stop well worth it! Delicious food and great service!!! Found myself wanting to eat all the food coming out if the kitchen.
Joe BorrelliAugust 3, 2013
Best pancakes in town. Better than my mom's, and my mom killed Bisquickia, Roman god of carb-y breakfast, to gain her cooking power.

$4 for 2 organic eggs, salad, toast, and potatoes. Add an Americano for only $2! Done.
