    Try any of their poached eggs dishes for breakfast - all are fantastic. The Spanish latte is delicious too. It's a latte with condensed milk and caramel instead of milk.

    The Smoked Chicken and Apple Salad was delicious. A lot of old people were here ;-) Classical music. Pretty dark place. The Staff was friendly.

    A NYC gem! The Greenwich omelette is a meat/cheese lover's dream. Definitely order the oatmeal brulee! A delightful spin on your traditional oatmeal. Skip the Canyonland Eggs. It's far too simple.

    Eggs & apples benedict on french toast was divine. Great combination of flavors. I still think about it a yr later. A bit of a wait but they move fast.

    Efficient service and great egg dishes. Always a solid place for brunch, but gets busy early on. Poached eggs and balsamic are perfect

    New favorite brunch place. Cozy, homey, excellent friendly service, delicious Costa Rican coffee. The eggs benedict on potato pancakes were simply ridiculous with hollandaise perfection.

    Apple eggs Benedict was great but the Spanish latte blew my mind. Sounds weird, but I was expecting a simple latte--this was delicious. (They probably use orzata?) Plus, it comes in a small bowl. Yum.

    Eggs n apple benedict on french toast is sweet and savory. Yummy but serving is small and I was still hungry after.

    Simple food, well prepared is the winning way of this downtown fixture. E&C gets a bum rap as omelet joint, but has long served inventive eats that sometimes surprise. Coffee is bottomless and good.

    A little gem in the heart of the Village. Tried the blue cheese salad and portobello sandwich, will come back for burgers and omelettes! 🍔

    Notice the coffee tastes different? Spring 2012 brought George Howell Costa Rica coffee to E&C. A citrusy, clean, medium body cup has replaced syrupy Sumatra. It's pricey at $3.75, but still endless.

    Very quick turnover. Coffee w/orzata (almond orange syrup) yummy; French toast Benedict with apples and bacon sounds weird but is delicious!

    Say you had the chance to combine eggs benedict, apples, french toast, and bacon. Would you? Sweet, savory. Pure deliciousness in a single bite, every bite. Is this real life?

    Everyone has already mentioned the eggs and apple benedict, but it's so delicious that it bears repeating: order it. It really is that good.

    La Colombe coffee supplanted George Howell brew, a couple of weeks ago, extending the cafe's tradition of a good cup.

    The Apple Benedict is out of this world! Get a side of the Vermont maple syrup with it.

    Heirloom tomato BLT with fried egg is a memorable version of a sandwich classic. Basil and superior bacon make the difference.

    Shrimp/bacon/pesto sandwich was yummy; coffee ice cream/fudge/raspberry dessert was bomb. Blackberry soda tastes like syrup and seltzer, not worth it. Heavenly wood crepe: nuthin to write home about

    Say goodbye to the longtime lunch menu at the Castle. E&C's gone strictly to breakfast/brunch & dinner menus, the latter at lunchtime.
