- MarmyMarch 3, 2018Brunch was okay and every rooms was full of people. Waiting for seats is perhaps 10 minutes for group contains 4 people. Service is very professional.
Curtis ShoungDecember 22, 2015Platter for the table and try a few types of smoked fish deliciousness.
pablcoOctober 5, 2014the classic smoked salmon diy sandwitch is amazing. the salmon here has the best quality in nyc. you can buy those same ingredients in their shop and cook it yourself
Phil NomDecember 27, 2015My favourite cafe: malt egg creme, herring trio, bagels, soup, I'm in heaven
Sam GilApril 14, 2017Better spot if alone. I had no wait, often free bar stool. Lox is awesome. Bagel is solid but better around.
Roniel TesslerSeptember 19, 2015The only downside to this place is the wait time. Get there early or be forced to walk around for an hour and half until they call you.
Ms HeleneMay 10, 2016Smoked salmon platter can be shared. Crispy potato latkes with apple sauce. Sadly dry chocolate babka French toast.
Dave RaxworthyOctober 30, 2017The Bloody Mary with dill infused vodka is a must have. Along with any of the egg dishes
The new-catch Holland herring served in a hot-dog bun is the best thing you will ever try here. Unfortunately it's an early summer treat only.
James FosterSeptember 7, 2020Their blintzes must have 😋😋. Open for pick-up and have a small seating area outside. A little costly.
Mullica ZudsiriFebruary 21, 2017The wait was long but worth it. We got the Anne platter and it was more than enough for four of us.
Simon YiAugust 22, 2014Get the Halva ice cream. Not too sweet, and the perfect way to balance your palate after having fish.
Lily FNovember 10, 2015Whitefish salad, latkas with roe, specialty drinks. Can't go wrong here. Also has a beautiful interior!
Maweł PazurkiewiczMay 12, 2017Amazing food. Great herrings! Lot's of crowd, be prepared for at least 30 mins wait.
alicetiaraMay 17, 2014Coffee soda is sweet, fizzy, and delicious. Add milk for an egg cream like experience. Like Vietnamese coffee but bubbly!
bApril 14, 2015get the latkes with the salmon roe and creme fraiche. a nice play on lox and creme cheese
Sandra RubinchikDecember 26, 2014If you're tryna be cute and take someone out on a nice dinner date here, make sure they're in the mood for breakfast.
- Jonathan PevarnekFebruary 10, 2016Excellent bagel with lox and matzo ball soup, the chopped liver has to have been some of the best I've had
Ashley RoseJanuary 9, 2018Slide into a booth, order a tower and chow down on smoked fish and carbs. Finish your meal and still too cold to go outside? Chocolate French toast babka for dessert.- Katie AtwellMay 18, 2015Cutest atmosphere and the egg avo bagel sandwich is to die for. Love the cashew cheese on it
- Tom MooreMay 30, 2018Latkes with roe, chicken liver and of course the smoked salmon were all just incredible.
Andrew LitvakJanuary 13, 2015The portions are delicious, but on the small side (especially for what you pay). Order a couple of things if you're actually hungry.

Jon SteinbackJune 19, 2015a bit pricier than the shop, but great options (including egg dishes) and a _beautiful_ design.
SunainaFebruary 12, 2015Went for the classic - smoked salmon, capers and cream cheese on toast. It was perfect.- Cat LoDecember 30, 2014Holy Salmon! If you want to get a platter for 2, get the IDA. It's the "smallest" of them all!
Nina LoSchiavoJune 24, 2015Doesn't seem as outrageously overpriced as the nearby storefront for the quality/quantity of the food you are receiving. The salmon eggs benedict may be one of my favorites.
Risa PulverAugust 2, 2014Hot Smoke/Cold Smoke, Lower Sunnyside.... Everything is great. Food, service, decor A+++
Ingrid HartmanJuly 17, 2015Latkes were incredible! Also the herring trio was very light and delicious.- Bonnie EisenmanAugust 15, 2015The chopper liver is marvelous. Actually, everything is. The drinks are very stingy, though, don't get them.
Kate GerasimovaJuly 10, 2016Absolutely delicious food and Bloody Mary, definitely coming back to try blini!
Zack SheppardJuly 2, 2014The brunch cocktail menu is impressive. If you're feeling non-alcoholic, get an egg cream.
The soft scramble eggs with caviar is the best 60$ you'll spend. New favorite breakfast place!
Albert AlwangDecember 28, 2018I got a lot of pickled herring with a lot of interesting flavors. Bagels were delish.
Alicia DDecember 6, 2015the classic board with everything bagel, matzo ball soup, and noodle kugel 👌🏼
Amy RobertsonMarch 17, 2016Cool atmosphere and absolutely fabulous pickled herring (which doesn't taste like a pickle!)
- Jean TranSeptember 8, 2016Yum kippered, latkes, super heebster and MUST try Babka ice cream sandwich
Hano AOctober 31, 2016Literally everything here is amazing. The halvah ice cream is out of this world.
Christina TroitinoSeptember 24, 2014Get the Anne. The Heebster. Seltzer water coffee. Ask for extra challah bread!

"Very cute and rustic cafe with good pastries. They have seating space so it's a great place to hang out with friends. There is a sort of market at the entrance with pop ups for lesser known brands"

"I went on both the Shop Life and Irish Outsiders tour. Both were interactive and engaging. The guides were knowledgeable and helped the space come to life. Order tickets online as they often sell out!"
Ashley Laflin - 8.7
"One of the most amazing places in all of NYC. They carry every candy you could ever want, & in multiple quantities. I love the dark chocolate covered graham crackers. Forever feels like a hidden gem."
Emily Wilson - 9.0
"The Reuben with pastrami is ridiculous. The pickles that come along with it are really good too. Get a beer or a root beer with you're meal and you'll be in deli heaven"
