We visited here for brunch a few weeks ago, blueberry pancakes , chicken cutlet sandwich, and fries. The drinks were nice as well. As we walked in, I noticed a bouquet of 🌻 sunflowers, I absolutely love them. Cute, quiet place , we'll visit again soon
This pancake stack and (and, french toast) is one to devour!
Definitely visit this cute brunch spot in NY - Kips Bay … that’s if you’re a brunch connoisseur! 🤗

We stumbled upon this cafe because it was close to our hotel, but the breakfast was so delicious, we went twice during our visit to NY. The food, atmosphere and environment were all 10/10. The best part was that the price of food didn't break the bank unlike other restaurants we went to. Highly recommend!
I loved it here. It was peaceful and warm inside. Everyone was polite and welcoming. I never felt rushed to leave. I know people get breakfast and brunch so I got something else entirely and it was delicious. I loved the décor and the size…it’s a touch bohemian. I was visiting from out of town so the restaurant is in easy walking distance from many hotels in the Chelsea/Manhattan area, if you’re looking for a wonderful place to dine. I also had a lemonade and a peach Bellini. The Bellini was out of this world. Not only was it delicious, it was pretty to look at. The pricing is very reasonable considering the generous portions you receive. My experience here was lovely.
I went here early to try food and beverage and I was beyond impressed. The ambiance was amazing. They are dog friendly. The service was exemplary -- much love to Franco !!!! The beverages were so creative and delicious !!!! I couldn't choose a favorite !!! Best morning ever -- I will be back over and over and over.
Nice place for breakfast or brunch. Good selection of choices. The Crab Eggs Benedict was great. Huge portion of two crab cakes and two poached eggs. My friend had an omelet that looked tasty. The coffee was fine. Hash browns were fine.
The biscuits with butter were outstanding. Warm, freshly baked.
Not sure I would be compelled to go back, but there's nothing specific negative I could put my finger on. If you're looking for a quick breakfast, it's not a bad choice.

The food here is beautiful, the atmosphere was very cozy, and the waitress was super helpful. We enjoyed our breakfast this morning. The french toast was exquisite, beautiful combination of the tender bread loaf with the sweet maple syrup compliment by delicate fruit. The scrambled eggs in croissant was lovely too!
Came here for Saturday brunch. Seats were a little crammed, but the food was great! Biscuits were amazing—served warm and moist. Cocktails were on point. Blueberry pancakes and the croque madame were average. Penny Egg Sammy on croissant was good, but the scrambled eggs inside were bland.
