We really enjoyed this place! My wife ordered a cheese omelet and I had a veggie omelet. We asked for 3 eggs each, but honestly that turned out to be a lot of food — especially since they also served it with delicious potatoes and two slices of warm bread with butter. Everything was very tasty, the portions were generous, and the people here are very friendly and welcoming. Prices are good too. Highly recommend this spot for breakfast!

Amazing service, the ladies at the front taking the orders are very friendly and quick. One of the best bacon egg and cheese sandwiches I’ve ever had. Will be a place I return to!

Oh I swear, while living in The Local NYC, I came here for breakfast every morning. Just across the road from the Local, super convenient. Nothing makes a morning brighter than smiles all round and a warm breakfast. Their breakfast burrito is a must try. Their food servings are also quite hearty which makes my tummy quite full and happy.

Was just in the area for a class and stumbled in blind for breakfast. Service was friendly and accommodating, wound up going back twice. Prices seemed super reasonable and the breakfast sandwich was just what I had been hoping for.

Best breakfast I ever had the food I gotten was French toast / scrambled eggs and turkey sausage all was good but I do wish the grill wasn’t on the same grill with the pork bacon since I can’t have pork

You leave me no choice. I was the only customer inside. I repeat the only one. I ordered slowly and methodically. Guess what happened? Yup you guessed it. They managed to get my order wrong. This is becoming common place regarding simple communication and establishments getting orders wrong. I simply cant rely on any anybody getting an order right these days. My expectations are officially very low. I can go on and on but ill just stop here. People start paying attention!

Food is overpriced for the quality. Came here several times trying different lunch items. Poor enough quality for my stomach to notice...They get away with it because of the prime location and fast service. Service speed and location are good. Food Quality for the price is poor.

I have been working in the area for 10 years and have been here a few times. I don’t typically review so it takes a lot for me to do so I ate here a few times, food was always mediocre and price on the more expensive side. The guy behind the counter seems to have an attitude problem. But don’t have an attitude and give me bad over paid food at the same time I got a salad, the chicken was dried out from inside out. This wasn’t the first time I’ve seen this. $12 for this dried out salad. Wont be back anytime soon for lunch. Such a a shame cause their breakfast is decent but come on people quality control on chicken is important. You can make someone sick!

The food was absolutely disgusting. $10 for three pieces of meat and burnt bread crumbs on the sandwich was very disappointing. The toaster needs to be cleaned and the prices are crazy for such a disgusting sandwich.

Very terrible service. Paid $9 for an overpriced sandwich and they weren’t even willing to listening when I ordered and made something I didn’t not ask for. The guy behind the counter has a very terrible attitude and was annoyed when I asked to clarify something on the menu or when I tried to place my order. He ended up making the sandwich Incorrectly. When I told them it was wrong they said this is what you asked for and did not proceed to fix the problem. And, the sandwich was also not great in the end, it was dry, the pesto did not taste good. Overall, I will not be going back here again.

A few months ago I enjoyed buying food from here, but there is currently a guy who works there who simply cannot make a decent sandwich. I asked for a BLT today and the guy toasted the sandwich into a panini with the bacon and tomatoes inside it. He nearly forgot the lettuce until I asked for him to put it in. I did not know one could mess up a BLT sandwich this bad. This isn't the first time I've been disappointed in the food here and I think I'll just find another place to go to.

the lady on the phone was HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL & RUDE!!!! I made a grubhub order that never arrived, after calling and waiting thinking my food was on the way they said they weren’t doing deliveries & wasn’t sure why grubhub went throughand that the tablet is closed… whatever that means. The lady on 1/26 who answered the phone was of no help and after my third call trying to get help she hung up on me! Nastyyyyy! Stay awayyy!!

Dude behind the grill has a horrible attitude. I told him to eat his own sandwich and I went somewhere else. I’ve never experienced such rudeness in an establishment.
