Forget your morning sweet tooth.  Counter proves that French toast absolutely needs to be made with real eggs. Their vegan version with banana flambee had the consistency of a regurgitated meal, and a taste so faint it was more like an aftertaste. The Omelette Lorraine was greasy, the potatoes were not crispy, and the side salad was tiny and seriously overdressed. The only saving grace was the housemade baked goods with sangria marmalade and strawberry butter.  The service was atrocious and the prices were high—drinks were not included and regular coffee cost $3.  You’re better off brunching at Café Brama a few blocks north.

About Us

We are young (early 20's) and hungry (for knowledge! music! art! food!) friends living on (or in areas which border) Manhattan. We moved to the city seeking higher education, and an alternative to frat parties and gin buckets. We prefer a bottle of Chianti to a keg, lunches at City Bakery to a dining hall, Joe's to Starbucks, Frankie's Amatriciana to Batali's. Our uniting factor is our love for food.
