"Cute place for brunch. I called in advance, and rather late for brunch on Sunday. The lady said there was no wait at the time, but by the time we arrived with our party of two at 2:30pm, our wait ended up being 40+ minutes; this was also due to the fact that it was cold and we didn't want to be seated in their outdoor section. We ended up in that section anyway because we were just tired of waiting, even with the complimentary coffee, as stellar as it was. The front part of their restaurant was reminiscent of a a living room- a few seats at the bar, two couch sections and a couple of other tables. It really did have a cozy feel to it. After we were seated, I checked in on yelp and received free bottomless coffee with my brunch order. Great perk; I don't drink coffee on a regular basis, but I love the taste of coffee. This coffee did not disappoint. The owner even asked my guest if we came for that reason, which we did not. We ordered the smoked salmon with goat cheese scramble, an extra side of aioli sauce for the potatoes, and some double smoked bacon. I thought the potatoes were fantastic; I'm usually the first to discard that section of my breakfast or brunch, but paired with the aioli, it became unstoppable in my book. The bacon was also worth adding; it isn't a proper meal without bacon. The thickly cut walnut toast that accompanied the dish was a nice touch; I could have done without since I'm not a fan of walnuts so I can't be unbiased here, but my dining companion really liked it. The one improvement needed would be the scramble part. While the eggs were cooked nicely and we received a generous heap of eggs, I'm still skeptical of the goat cheese pairing. It melts into the scramble and didn't add much to the palette. We were given extra goat cheese on the side, and though I slathered some on, I didn't taste much of a difference. Also, there were salmon bits throughout, but the salmon didn't come through because there was an imbalance of eggs to fish ratio. However, if the salmon had some more flavor, I'm sure it would have evened out. More dill would have helped as well. I loved the aesthetic of the restaurant; on a warm, non-windy day, I would opt to sit in the backyard. Service was great; they were accommodating when we decided to move indoors again, and were gracious with all our requests. Though it started off a little rough with the wait and the 3 rude patrons who wouldn't stop staring(and talking) about us, I'd return to try a different dish and bask in the comfort of home/made."

Everything is perfect in here: quiet, nice atmosphere, gentle staff, and food is great. Plus, they have a NO TIP policy which I really appreciated

Had a simple yet delicious meal in the adorable candle lit back yard. Will come back again! Flatbread with peaches and bacon was amazing, and this place is so cozy!

Had a great brunch here on a Saturday morning, there was a popup by Emma's Torch who trains refugees and victims of human trafficking in their kitchens so that they can get a job in NYC. Great idea and great food! What a great place.

The brunch was fantastic! The dishes were creative and delicious, and the atmosphere felt just like being in someone's loft. The staff was friendly, and the coffee was great. They even offer some delicious breakfast pastries to take with you. Highly recommend! View menu

I always suggest this spot to my friends looking for a brunch place. It has a cozy, home-like vibe with large couches for seating, but the food is far superior to anything you’d make at home. The owners really know how to prepare the perfect eggs, and they serve them with walnut bread from Balthazar. Absolutely delicious!

The restaurant boasts a cozy ambiance, attentive service, and exceptional food. It's worth mentioning that many of the larger menu items are sandwiches, which wasn’t entirely clear. However, everything we tried was delicious. They also offer an excellent selection of wines. What really stood out to me was the bill—it was surprisingly reasonable for such high-quality dining!

I first heard of this place when they catered a local documentary event with 5 foot long flatbreads. The thought of NYC grown eggs might give one pause, but otherwise this is a beautiful yet friendly space serving up a mean brunch. Friendly, too didn't bat an eye when a plump tomato squirted all over their white slipcovered couch. The potatoes are Off. The. Hook. Breads are delicious, too. View menu
