They now have a "no computer use" policy. Good luck staying in business while spitting on the coffeehouse-writer crowd, guys! (on the bright side, the coffee is good and there's always seating)
Echo everyone else: the avocado toast & eggs with coffee on a summer morning.
Zachary BlankDecember 21, 2014Go here for breakfast. There is a store next door where you can get food to go.
TaylorMarch 4, 2012Avocado toast is delicious. Get it with hard boiled eggs if soft eggs aren't your thing.
Andrew J. LeVineJune 12, 2012Cozy spot, be aware of a strict unadvertised no laptop policy. I understand enforcing these during busy hours, but when there are empty tables and I'm getting some work done while waiting for food?
An Americano and the avocado on toast w/ soft eggs. Do it.- For lunch, ham & cheddar sandwich with spicy dill chips and an iced coffee. Bam.
Hidden gem in Brooklyn Heights. Any sandwich is terrific. Try the Cobb Salad. If you're feeling thrifty try the butter&jam baguette for $2.
I almost don't want to leave a tip, this is such a hidden gem. Avocado toast FTW.
Florent JolyOctober 8, 2017Chilaquiles = essentially bad nachos. Bloody Mary = watered down. Service = borderline (check brought to your table before you've had time to breathe out).
- teoman numlockMarch 18, 2018This must be of the most overrated cafe I visited for months. I believed the reviews in foursquare which are mostly accurate, but this one was a fail! Cold coffee, very small portions, overpriced!
Anna BoffettaSeptember 6, 2018Horrible experience, ordered iced lattes got iced coffees with drops of milk. The skim milk was expired (Sept. 1st), I pointed it out to the barista who said “I know but it is ok”. AVOID THIS PLACE
Rudy ValentaFebruary 22, 2016Over priced and poor waitstaff. Not sure why this place has such high reviews. Go down the block and there are a ton of better options
Simple food that tastes so good! It's about the ingredients. Get the salad nicoise.
other than the breakfast sandwich, also a great place to buy a dozen eggs when you're in a hurry.
The ham and cheddar biscuits are a perfect snack, and there's Stumptown coffee.
