The best breakfast I had for a long time! INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS!! I definitely want to go back!

Ordered: Merguez Sandwich (~$15) w Avocado (+$3): beef sausage, scrambled eggs, and Vermont cheddar cheese in homemade roll Aya's take: C&B is located right across the street from Tompkins Square Park and with an almost guaranteed line outside, you can't miss it! We decided to get breakfast sandwiches here and there were maybe 10 people ahead of us in line. We probably waited about 10-15 mins total which isn't bad at all. The Merguez Sandwich really hit the spot! The beef sausage was juicy, packed with smoky, savory, and slightly sweet seasonings, and paired deliciously with the eggs. It's such a heavy sandwich that I'm so glad I added avocado as it added a freshness and cut through some of that savoriness. The homemade roll is also great; it was crisp enough on the outside to hold everything together without overpowering the sandwich. There's no seating inside but they do have a few tables outside. Really great try! read more

C&B - Merguez Sandwich (~$15) w Avocado (+$3) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I heard that C & B was known for their breakfast sandwiches and pastries, so I headed a little bit out of my way while walking downtown. If you're in the East Village, this is a small spot with outdoor tables where I ate my egg and cheese on a roll... Simple but delish on the soft roll! The display case was filled with tons of pastries. If C & B were located in my neighborhood I would be there on a regular basis! Steady stream of customers, including lots of regulars coming in for coffee. East 7th Street between Avenue A & B. $8 egg and cheese sandwich. read more

There was a line of 6 people when I got here on a Saturday morning, shortly after it opened at 9am. I'm in a croissant phase right now so I came for that but decided to get their famed sandwiches when I noticed everyone before me got one. The croissant is sourdough but doesn't taste tangy or sour at all. It tastes like a standard croissant. The texture was where it shined - blistering exterior and airy interior. It was very satisfying that every bite was a stringy pull that swirled around. Also, very happy to report the Chorizo and Egg Sandwich I ordered was not messy to eat. The chorizo was in patty form and the eggs were freshly cracked. The sourdough roll was fluffy and light. Overall, I get the hype! FYI - no restroom, tables and chairs outside read more

Geleneksel Türk kahvaltı bulunmaz New York'ta. So one is forced to make do with the occasional Turkish dish that appears on an otherwise unassuming breakfast menu, like the çılbır or menemen at C&B. Unfortunately the çılbır was quite greasy, perhaps because of excess oil. But the eggs themselves were nicely poached and had a good texture. My dining companion enjoyed his mushroom and eggs sandwich. I found the service to be a little standoffish, and most of the people hogging the limited seating were nursing a single coffee. read more

Finally got to try c&b with a pretty minimal line for a Saturday! We were lucky enough to have a table open up while we waited too. Took a while to get the sandwich (Pig and Egg) but really enjoyed it. Eggs were super fluffy. Meat was good. Bread was some of my favorite for breakfast sandos in the city (especially because the fat from the meat dripped onto the bread as we ate). The sandwich looks small, but my partner and I shared one and were both full by the end. read more

C&B - Pig and Egg Sandwich Breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The best neighborhood spot. There's always a line, and be expected to wait, but it's fun to wait in the space while they're spinning records and outside to view the Dogs of East Village highlight reel. The people there know their regulars...I don't go enough to be recognized, but hopefully soon.... Bread and pastries here are AMAZING. Literally have dreams about the crusty, crunchy exterior and fluffy interior of the bread here. They're also experts of the breakfast food, I've never had more delicious eggs in every form than here. People will tell you about coffee, but don't sleep on C&B's tea selection! Really good teas, I get one every time I visit. The best vibes every time, feels like a community that C&B has built so major kudos to the team for being able to pull that off. I just love to eat and people watch here any day of the week. see you next time! read more

This place is delicious. It's a little strange because of the way it's set up--the pastry case is to the left of entrance and where you order, so you can't really ponder the pastry choices for long, but that's okay--I'm sure that everything is great!! I got the pig and egg, my husband got the chorizo, egg, and cheese, and we split a strawberry-rhubarb filled donut. Every part of every bite was perfect. The bread was soft and fluffy, the eggs and pork belly were delightfully savory, drippy, and messy!! The doughnut had plenty of filling and flavor--it was sweet enough, but not enough to make the fruit flavor disappear. Just perfect! It was too warm to sit in their unshaded outdoor seating, but we loved walking to the park and eating our meal on a bench while watching the dogs and children run by!! read more

Came at 11:30 am on a Sunday and the line was out the door. Had food in hand by 11:57 AM. Chorizo sandwich was really good. Also got a loaf of whole wheat sourdough (bonus points for the fact that they slice it) and a kouign aman - both great. They have a limited amount of outdoor shed seating, so we took our food to the park nearby. Overall it's a solid neighborhood spot, but idk if I'd travel out of the way and wait a half hour again. read more

Have been dying to try this place for the longest time. First of all, people are sleeping on their coffee. Like it's so good, why does no one talk about it? The barista expertly crafted some beautiful latte art and the drink itself was a nice, smoothly blended experience. Great cappuccino, great job. BREAKFAST SANDWICH Alright, essentially if you're a meat eater there are 3 great options to choose from, one including African sausage which I was tied with for the chorizo. I chose the chorizo just to get a good baseline but DEF want to come back for the rest because this was so good. The bread had a nice crust to it compared to other breakfast sandwiches, that kind of satisfying rip you get with your teeth kind of bread. Not super soft/moist inside though. The eggs were fluffy and just the right amount of runny, homogeneous, soft, velvety - perfect. The chorizo was good, it had a little bit of heat running through it but nothing too powerful, and it wasn't super super juicy but def flavorful. Definitely one of the better breakfast sandwiches and would def come back. I think my preference lies in a little bit of softer bread, and juicier chorizo would make it EVEN better, but it still ranks as an great if not excellent choice for a breakfast sandwich that ain't no ordinary breakfast sandwich. Also want to return to try their pastries Keep being the institution you are, C&B, I'll be back. read more

Nice local spot right by Tompkins's, great place for a breakfast in the morning on weekends, gets pretty busy so come early if you don't want to wait. Nomz: My go to is the menemen with a side of avocado. It is a beautiful mix of eggs, tomatoes, peppers and spices that make it a magical bite - has a little kick to it - good sized portion. Nice touch to the side of avocado they add lime and a little olive oil maybe? Pastries: can't go wrong with any obviously, but I have a weak spot for the chocolate croissant Drinks: Bottled orange juice is my go to Service: Nice cashier, also calls out the orders after, bustling place. Ambiance: Inside are two little interconnected rooms. On the right there is a line to order your food and on the left you can see the pastries available, there's a record player spinning with some beats and a small waiting area with the coffee and fridge. Overall, really cool vibes place. Small covered area outside to sit down or stand to eat - with a table or two on the sidewalk. Nope or Dope: Dope, really yummy place I can't get enough of. Will come back! read more

Saw this on the NYT for breakfast sammies that recommended the chorizo egg sandwhich! We got the both the pork belly sammie and chorizo sammie, which was both very filling. The chorizo they give is a good size and very juicy. I did prefer the pork belly sammie, but you can't go wrong with either. The pork belly was very juicy and again there was a good portion of meat! read more

Really good breakfast sandwiches! I got an egg and cheese sando with hot sauce on the side and it was the perfect bite! The egg is so fresh and creamy, and the bread is so soft! My friends really enjoyed the spicy chorizo but I'll definitely be making the classic egg and cheese my new go to. They also have great looking pastries and coffee that I hope to try next time! read more

I am a big fan of pork belly, so when I heard C&B does a pork belly + egg on a roll, I had to come check it out. The pork belly itself was so tender and juicy, it reminded me of Filipino style lechon kawali! The scrambled egg was really fluffy and creamy too and perfectly complemented the savory pork belly. The roll had nice crispy exterior and warm/fluffy interior. All three combined made for such a good sandwich! They also offer pastries like donuts and almond croissants, and they also offer coffee! I also love the vibes of this lil shop, they play music from their record player and they have an awesome record collection. Really comfy and homey type of atmosphere! The staff is very kind and welcoming too, solid breakfast spot :) read more

Best bakery/breakfast/sandwich spot I've tried in the city and it's not even close. Fresh sourdough with soft scrambled eggs for 6.50$ - finally!! Somewhere with a very good price. All the ingredients are organic and local. Vibes were buzzing with a very cozy neighbourhood feel. Wish I found this place sooner. I will be a regular customer. Would highly recommend! read more

a review 7 months late--not that anyone in the neighborhood has not heard of C&B quality offerings of freshly baked goods (baked in premises), sandwiches, and brewed drinks. there's only seating outside. stopped in during from winter frosty maw and that coffee completed the mission of warming up my frozen existence at the time. be prepared for short lines during the morning and days...prepare for slightly longer waits on the weekends. the staff seems easygoing. don't miss out on casual quality calories when you're in the ABCs. read more

Solid breakfast sandwiches. The line moved really quickly but you'll probably have to wait a bit for your sandwich. They were out of a few options by 12 on Sunday morning. So next time I'll be getting up earlier. They also had a jazz trio set up outside with a standup bad, guitar, and a snare drum. read more

Popped in randomly the other day while walking towards Tompkins Square Park. There was quite a decent line out the door, however it moved rather fast. I asked for a recommendation from the super pleasant gal taking orders and she suggested the Pork Belly & Egg on a roll. I went ahead with her recommendation and I've got to tell you, it was incredible! The pork belly was tender and juicy and the egg was as fluffy as I've ever had. I really love that you get to watch the talented chefs in action before you place your order. Cool spot with pretty substantial outdoor seating as well! read more

C&B - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Coffee is great, and the bread is great. This spot has become my regular visit during the week. My only complaint is their workflow. When it's even a little busy, the wait is extreme. Coupled with the very obvious preferential treatment to "friends and family" is quite irritating. I have waited 20 minutes for my coffee while someone they're familiar with walks in and orders at minute 19 and gets their latte before me. If it seems busy, be prepared to wait a long time until they change this mindset. read more

So much flavor!! Would highly recommend, the vinegarette sauce is the perfect touch. $15 read more

C&B - Ham egg and cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Today at around 12:55pm I and to order a sandwich. Afterwards the woman taking orders goes to a tray where a baked good is located, cuts it and then grabs it with her bear hands. I assumed she was going to take away the entire tray. She is joking about it with her other colleague as if this is ok. I tell her that is not ok. A few minutes later she is presumably going on her cigarette break and still takes orders with cigarette at hand. When she hands me my order I tell her that this isn't "cool" and that if I was her boss I would have fired her in the spot. She then hits me on my shoulder telling me I am not the boss. She is gross and disgusting. read more

That pork and egg sandwich..... hell yes. Add cheese. Don't miss out on a hidden gem. Get there early on weekends or you stuck being sad.

A lot of things about C & B are confusing to me. We went in at 8:15a because online it says they open at 8. They do not have hours on the door, but they did have a small sign inside saying 9-4 as the hours. (We did see this after ordering, but the cashier didn't turn us away so maybe the sign inside is incorrect?) We ordered the merguez sandwich. Nowhere on the menu inside doesn't mention there is any meat. We are both vegetarian so we never order beef sandwiches. We took our sandwich home and to our surprise it was a sausage sandwich. Upon looking at older menus on yelp, it does look like the sandwich used to have meat on it, but the current menu inside the store says it is just eggs and cheese. We are not picky so we just picked the sausage off and ate the sandwich and it was good, but we are just disappointed we paid $13 for a small sandwich that wasn't even what we wanted. read more

C&B is everything a neighborhood breakfast/brunch bakery should be. I miss the pre-covid days when there was a tiny eat-in area but I can't begrudge them the kitchen/bakery expansion. My Vietnamese friend who is super-particular about her baguettes will only buy them here, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a baked good here that is less than stellar. The sandwiches are all amazing and so are the egg dishes. I strongly recommend the Cilbir. Ali, the proprietor, is a gem of a person and his staff are all amazing. There is always a line in the mornings but it moves fast because of how hard they all work. read more

Perfect neighborhood shop for the efficiency and the offerings. I was told the focaccia was the best in the city. Big claim. Tbh I had the rosemary focaccia and it was later clarified the tomato one was the referenced type but I'll admit it was delicious and perfectly chewy. Got an oat latte too a few times here. All good. It's an efficient line that pushes you into the other room once you've ordered so you can drool at the pastries you didn't order and get out. It's not a place to hang out for sure since there's no where to sit. Get in get out come back soon read more

C&B - Menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

ONE OF THE BEST SANDWICHES I'VE EVER HAD. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 5/5** Staff is friendly and efficient! **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** The store is divided into two sides, a kitchen and the bakery. The bakery display is absolutely gorgeous and the whole store is clean. **Price & portion, 5/5** I ordered a Pig & Egg sandwich and it was about $12. Almost everything on the menu is less than $15! **Presentation of the food, 5/5** There is definitely beauty in simplicity. The perfect roll, soft scrambled egg, and thick and tender pork belly? Perfection. **Taste of the food, 10000/5** WOW!! This is seriously one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The bread roll is so fresh, crusty on the outside and soft and easy to tear. The scrambled egg is cooked so well it always tastes like there's cheese when there isn't -- I haven't had scrambled eggs this delicate or flavorful before. And the pork belly! Some of the softest, pull apart pork belly I've ever had. I think it could've been seasoned a bit more, but eaten together with the egg and bread, it's just right. read more

Get the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. It is delicious and it will send you into a food coma 10/10 recommend. Service was pretty quick - I did get there right when it opened so I'm sure there can be longer waits.

They have wonderful baked goods, including baguettes and sourdough loafs. However, they run out early. Unfortunately they don't have a phone, or don't answer one. The only seating is outside. This is really a take out place. They should deliver, or take orders over the phone to be picked up, but they don't. read more

Not sure if the set up has always been like this, but there's the actual cafe with the actual name, C&B, in the front and then there's the extension that used to be a laundromat! The laundromat is where you order and the other part is where they make the food. Opening time is around 9am so if you walk by earlier, you can't order but you get to see the preparation for the pastries and bread! I got the iced coffee with oat milk. It was fine. Nothing spectacular that would make me intentionally come back for it. I got the egg and chorizo sandwich. The bun was delicious with melted cheese on top. The eggs were salty in a good way. The chorizo I felt could've been crispier.... At one point, I wasn't sure if the middle of it was 100 percent cooked. The total was around 20 dollars. read more

This popular breakfast spot serves great breakfast sandwiches! There's limited seating so sometimes it can be hard to grab a table during peak hours, but luckily Thompkins Square Park is right across the street. I really like their mushroom sandwich, while my fiancé LOVES the pork belly one. We'd heard a lot about this place before we first tried it, and I'm glad to say it lived up to the hype! I definitely recommend trying the pork belly as I'm pretty sure that's what they're most well known for, and it's a fun deviation from your typical bodega BEC. read more

where to begin! I went in the wrong entrance at first and six young men with unwashed hair and Thom Browne cardigans banded together as a moving barricade to push me back out on the sidewalk. the nice man running the shop came outside with an entire loaf of freshly baked sourdough and gave it to me to apologize, he said he's not legally allowed to refuse service to transplants and he's sorry the bully me!!!!. apparently they brought their own vinyl of Royel Otis cover of Linger and had been standing in the record area for 3 hours restarting the track every time it ends. the tray of cinnamon rolls behind the counter look anazing.. i bought the whole thing and i accidentally spill the whole tray on one of the young men's brunello cucinelli trousers freshly baked.. freshly frosted.. freshly ruined by yours truly i gave the young man my phone number i said "let me please pay for the damage" i hope he text me Back!
