This is a place I can't WAIT to go back to!! I really enjoyed every dish that I tried, especially the tostada special. It felt like something was missing from the breakfast burrito, but nonetheless it was delicious. The salsa was good as well! It can get packed here since it's small but the wait wasn't long at all.
Another spot I've walked by countless times and finally ventured inside. This place is much bigger than I thought from the outside - I thought there were only ~5 tables and I was completely wrong. We ordered the chilaquiles, chorizo burrito and cardamom rose latte. Everything was incredible. I kept stealing the chilaquiles green sauce to pour on my burrito. My friend said he'd never tried a chorizo burrito that wasn't greasy, which seems like a huge win! We came in at 10:30 on a Saturday and waited about 15 minutes, which didn't seem too bad given how popular they are. In a Hispanic part of the neighborhood I struggle to find good Mexican, but Cafe Miguel finally put that thinking to bed, since they are legitimately good! Will definitely come back for the burritos!
I had the Chilaquiles and Cardamom Rose latte and both were excellent! The chilaquiles has a green salsa with it that has the perfect kick to it. The latte was delish and the service was great, very nice people! This would also be a great place to work remotely or read a book, decent amount of seating and nice and quiet.
Stumbled on to this spot while exploring grand. It's very homey and an inclusive space. Some people are working on their laptops and others are there for a quick lunch/breakfast. The tortilla was fresh masa and not many spots in nyc do that. It was amazing.... But filling was very little meat which was a bummer. The filling was also cold not sure why since it's supposed to be Piccadillo. The avocados also had a lot of browning and was not peeled fresh. There were huge chunks of carrots with was not proportionate to the small portions of other stuff in there. Just weird. The egg was incredibly flavorful and the accompanying sauce was great. The burrito was solid all things considered, just if it was warm and the avocado was fresh it was would be one of the best burritos in nyc especially with the fresh masa... but alas it wasn't 8/10 Also got the spiced Mexican coffee which was ok . 7/10
Cute place ! Servers were so sweet and took care of me even when busy. Ambiance is so relaxed. Cappuccino was great and the food was amazing. Highly recommend.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Man the flavor of the dishes we ordered were outstanding (the flavor profile was so robust) We got the chilaquiles (add chicharron) and the chorizo burrito. The Chilaquiles we're the star of our meal. You get great acidity and sourness from the house made tomatillo sauce, balanced by the earthiness of the black beans, herbaciousness from the cilantro and pungent flavors from the pickled onions. Don't forget the cheesyness from the cotija cheese. Highly recommend this dish. Beautiful outdoor patio seating in the back and great service from Miguel himself. Highly recommend this spot if you're out for brunch and looking for some tasty Mexican food. Don't forget to try the Cardamom Rose Latte
A beautifully decored spot serving Mexican breakfast and brunch. Located in Williamsburg. I had a pleasant breakfast in this restaurant after a 10mi morning run nearby, during my visit to NYC this spring. The restaurant was couter-service. I ordered two dishes. The first one was Hongos Y Nopales quesadilla. The freshly baked tortilla was stuffed with plenty of Oaxaca cheese and juicy mushrooms. Unfortunately, they were out of cactus at the time. Other than that the quesadilla tasted heavenly. The tomatillo salsa that came with this dish was also very good -- sour and spicy and quite refreshing. The second one was their special gordita. It was filled with queso fresco and lettuce, topped with a sunny-side up egg, and surprisingly, there was a mole-like sauce under the tortilla! It was served with the amazing tomatillo salsa as well. I also liked the decor of this restaurant. Simple, nature-oriented design, had lots of wooden furniture and combined with Mexican elements (e.g., Masks and pictures). The background music was also enlightening and not disturbing.
This place is very reminiscent of the cafe scene in CDMX (in the best way possible). On the weekends it is packed so be prepared to wait for a table! They have indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has classic, authentic Mexican food and reasonable prices. I got a latte that was amazing and one of the best I've had in the area. My friend and I split a quesadilla which was heavenly. The owner took our order and he was so kind. You can tell he really cares about the quality of the food they are putting out. Would 10/10 recommend this as a brunch spot with friends if you are craving authentic Mexican.
Came here at 11:45AM to meet up a friend for brunch. It was pretty busy. I ordered a chai latte and chilaquiles, both were delicious and very filling. It's a bit of a loud so if you're a low talker it's a little hard to have a convo. When i left at 1:15pm there was a wait for a table. I would say there needs to be a more frequent water refill. Otherwise i didn't feel rushed. The person i was with had a tortilla soup and steak/egg burrito and really liked both.
Maybe it was because my favorite Mon Laferte song came on right as my breakfast tetela was delivered to the table, but there's nothing I would change about the stellar brunch experience at Cafe Miguel. From the well-spiced cafe de olla to the decadence of pairing a runny egg with mole negro, this will be one of my top new spots to return to in East Williamsburg. We're really spoiled for choice in the neighborhood these days, with not one but two cafes on Grand Street serving up a proper Oaxacan breakfast.
Such a cozy mexican cafe, with wifi for those looking to get some work done! I've passed by this spot several times and thought I'd give it a try. The Californian in me was missing Mexican food and it really hit the spot. I got a chicken quesadilla and a hot almond chai, and I have to say - this is one of the best chai lattes I've ever had. I usually take issue with chais being too watery, but this is packed with milk and spices. Just the right amount of sweetness with a nice frothy top. I'd come back for the chai alone. Prices are extremely affordable and staff is friendly. I'll definitely be coming back regularly. Many tables were filled but there seemed to be enough flow of customers where it should be manageable to snag a table.
This was really tasty food at a reasonable price. The tetela came with a nice filling of beans and salsa, plus a fried egg, avocado, cheese, and cilantro. The two salsas were very flavorful. It was a nice, light meal for $15 after tax and tip. It definitely gets busy on the weekend.
Came in on a rainy monday with my husband. Nice and cozy inside loved it. The waitress came over gave us the menu and water. My husband got a chorizo burrti he said it was good . I got the avocado toast with egg I asked for scrambled but when it came back that didn't look scrambled to me. But whatever. I only ate one half . There was a sour taste like maybe vinegar or lemon juice on the arugula I couldn't finish it. We also ordered the croissant with ham and swiss which was good and that chipotle sauce was delicious. My husband got an espresso and I opted for a cafe au lait which was delicious. read more
I got the special burrito and it was good but nothing the greatest i've had. size felt a little small for a $18 before tax and tip burrito. the green sauce makes it much more flavorful. ask for hot sauce too -- that's amazing. the mushroom burrito was good but same as above. on its own, not the most flavorful. place is very cute though and i would like to try something else next time so see if that's better. pistachio latte was not too sweet and had a subtle flavor. read more

Being a Mexican from LA, my standards for Mexican food are high and Cafe Miguel blew it out of the water! I started my meal with a latte and concha thinking, "black sesame concha?" and I'm so happy I ordered it. Although the sesame taste was mild, it paired perfectly with my turmeric latte which was well spiced. I don't see chilaquiles often on a menu here on the east coast so I jumped at the opportunity to order some. The salsa was flavorful, the chicharon had a hint of spice, and the beans were nicely done. I had just enough room to split a quesadilla with a friend and that was a great item to share. He had nothing but good things to say about his steak & eggs burrito which was a special when we went. I'd be remiss not to mention the staff who were incredibly friendly and efficient despite it being a busy Saturday morning full of brunch goers. I'm always looking for go-to spots to visit when in the city and this place has easily made it to that list for me! read more

This was my first time at Cafe Miguel and I was worried there would be a line on Saturday for breakfast. To my surprise, there were plenty of seats available. The servers are friendly, and the food tasted like it was made with love from a grandma in the kitchen. I ordered 3 dishes: * Chorizo Breakfast Burrito - 10/10 - this was one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had! The flavor of the chorizo was so good. The fluffy eggs with the hefty serving of guacamole, and small potato chunks were chef's kiss. * Chilaquiles - 8.5/10 - Even though there was no meat in this dish, I didn't feel like I was missing out. The flavor of the beans was enough to make you feel satisfied. The refreshing salsa verde helped balanced out the dish. * Chicken Tinga Sope - 7.5/10 - The tinga was lacking in a bit of salt for me. I also completely falls apart after taking one bite so it's a bit messy. * Strawberry Matcha Latte - 6.5/10 - not my favorite strawberry matcha since it just tasted like milk and you could hardly taste the strawberry or the matcha. I would skip on this drink. Overall, I definitely think this place is worth checking out and is a local gem. As much as I don't want to see it get too crowded, I hope they get plenty more customers in the future. read more

This place is great but they haven't figured out delivery for their hot beverages. I've gone inside for takeout and the service was good. Ambiance is also nice and spacious. Cannot recommend the sope tinga enough. It's fantastic. read more

Excellent breakfast burritos here, done right. No unnecessary ingredients like potatoes, which is just a carb filler. Only chorizo, black beans cheese and guacamole. The coffee is solid, especially cafe olla, subtly sweet and spicy. The women behind the counter working hard, making this cafe a diamond in the rough. read more

Incredible. Cozy and all of the cooking is done behind the bar so it smells amazing. Fast service but the most important part is the food. The flavors were bursting and I have no notes on the burrito ingredient ratio. Wrapped perfectly, you get everything in every bite! The chilaquiles were tasty. So fresh and not oily at all. Only negative is the burrito is small but I left full and it's pretty affordable. The cafe de olla (speciality Mexican coffee) was unlike anything I've ever had. Highly recommend this place!!! I wish I could stop in every day for a cup. read more
