Mediocre brunch spot in the heart of the East Village Short Rib Benedict (3.5/5): A little dry and lacked flavor. I've definitely had better benedicts elsewhere Fried Chicken Sandwich (3.25/5): Also a bit dry; the chicken could have been much juicier Latte (3.25/5): The coffee didn't have the bold flavor I was looking for, but bonus points for the nice latte art!

-Crushed Tomato Pizza
Aleanny M.

We were here for the happy hour menu, we had the 'Dear Maud' and an Aperol Spritz with the crushed tomato pizza. The pizza was tasty, every bite gets the different hits of basil, olive oil, mozzarella, and the blistered tomatoes. The dough was cooked to perfection with the center keeping its crispness even after sitting at our table for 45 minutes! Out waiter was kind and we chatted with him for about 10 minutes and he was lovely, the vibe of the place was the same friendliness!

-Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich
Yahaira V.

The chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious and packed with so much flavor. The staff and service were friendly and efficient, and the restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

Solid brunch place. It's not that great and not terrible It's overall good experience. But love that it's one of the rare places open early for breakfast. Hard to find places open at that time. the staff are always so friendly with us and our pups. We do outside dining since we always have our pups. The pancake is a bit plain nothing special. The sausages here is not bad. The first time we came the potatoes were soooo salty you can see how much salt was on it. The second time the potatoes we done significantly better. The burrito was good the breakfast plater nothing special. But we"ll be back to the other things.

Super cute restaurant! I went at about a 12:30 on a Saturday, and I got seated immediately. Staff was attentive, and there are many options on the menu! I got the breakfast burrito with chicken sausage, and it was so flavorful. The texture was great too with the crispiness from the hashbrowns. I also got an iced vanilla latte which was nothing special.

My friend who lives in the neighborhood suggested we come here because she loves their happy hour cocktails. We started off strong with drinks, which were fabulous. Unfortunately, things went downhill fast once we ordered food. The crispy tuna arrived first and was disappointing. There wasn't much tuna, and the rice was more overcooked than crispy. Two of us received our meals promptly, but the third dish, the steak and eggs, never arrived. After waiting quite a while, we asked our server if it was on the way. She responded dismissively, saying, "Well yes, since I did put it in," before walking away. We continued waiting while staff members looked over at our table clearly discussing our issue, but avoided making eye contact or providing an update. About 10 minutes later, a manager came by and informed us there had been an issue with the order and that the dish would be out shortly. Unfortunately, it took another 20 minutes to arrive. When the steak and eggs finally came out, we were speechless. The steak was severely undercooked, practically still mooing. My friend couldn't even chew it all the way. Throughout all of this, our server never apologized, acknowledged the delay, or checked in with us. At the end of the meal, we flagged down the manager to get our check and showed her the steak. She offered us a discount, which we appreciated. However, our server still never addressed the situation. It's a shame because we had planned to stay for several drinks and spend more time there, but the service completely changed the experience. The food wasn't good enough to make up for it either. My chicken wrap was very average. Afterward, I mentioned the experience to a few NYC friends, and they all told me this isn't a place they would recommend for food. Now I understand why. If you're looking for happy hour drinks, this place may be worth a visit. Based on our experience, I would skip the food or this place overall.

Scone
Maria R.

Went during the week for breakfast. There was no wait and able to sit inside. The scone was huge and pretty good with the butter and jam. The eggs Benedict didnt have that much flavor. The service was ok.

-Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Brooke A.

While the wait and seating arrangement were a bit confusing, the food was solid! We stood in line and were told it would be a 45 minute wait but that they wouldn't be able to take our name down--instead, we were told to hang tight in line and they'd call us when they were ready. Shortly after, we were offered bar seats, which we gladly accepted! There was an upstairs bar with a vibe very different than the lighter, more earthy downstairs! This didn't really fit the mood of our girls brunch; HOWEVER, looking past the bad lighting and resulting poor quality pictures, it was a good staging area for a catch-up with a solid breakfast burrito and cute table pancake! The portions are generous and the potatoes are well crisped, and I really appreciated the sauce containers and attention to detail in plating.

Fig jam matcha
Megan W.

Came to the coffee window they have which is nice for take away. Their seasonal matcha was a fig jam which sounded good but was just fig jam smeared on the cup, needed a fig syrup to change the flavor any. Otherwise pretty good matcha, quick and friendly service.

-Breakfast Platter
Apolonia E.

I came to Café Maud with my kids after my son's soccer game, and I'm so glad we decided to stop by. We came for breakfast, and everything we ordered was so delicious. My son went straight for the chicken lollipops and enjoyed every bite. My daughter loved the açaí bowl it was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I ordered the breakfast platter, which was cooked perfectly, and my son devoured his pancakes. I treated myself to a strawberry matcha, and it was amazing. Our server, Kia, was so nice and took such good care of us. Even though we didn't have reservations, the staff still took us as walk-ins and sat us at the side bar so the kids could be comfortable. I'm really glad we arrived early because just as we sat down, the place started filling up quickly and soon there were people waiting. The space itself is beautiful the décor, the lighting, all the little details make it feel cozy and stylish at the same time. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the outdoor area is nicely covered now that the weather is getting colder. Overall, it was such a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

Came here on a holiday, so everywhere we went had a long wait. Cafe Maud was able to seat us right away but at the back of their restaurant which is also their bar. I didn't mind as it was a lot quieter but the tables were smaller so it was hard to fit all our food on one table. The interior/overall decor of this place is really nice. Honestly, had I looked at the menu beforehand, I probably wouldn't have come here. I ordered a breakfast platter and pizza. Both were good but I've had better. The bacon was too thick for my liking. I enjoyed the home fries the most.

--Breakfast Burrito
Sandy X.

I came here at 10 am for brunch and got seated quickly. I got the breakfast burrito which was filled with eggs, avocado, beans, pico and bacon. There was also a side salad and potatoes. This was a filling meal and would come back to try other items.

Martini
Ayda N.

What's better than some martinis with pizza, cesear and a bowl of fries with your gals?! Such a good spot!

One of the prices that came to mind was Redbreast 12 for $20 for a pour. I settled on Bitburger which was $10. Service was quick. You're certainly paying for the location as the bar situated amongst many clubs and events spaces.

It ended up being a nice spot for a casual catch-up, though with a few mixed impressions. The space itself is cute and very much feels like a neighborhood bar. One of the things we liked most was that they have games available--we ended up playing Scrabble while waiting for our friend to arrive, which made the time go by quickly and added to the relaxed vibe. Happy hour prices are solid, and the fried pickles we shared were decent. I also had a watermelon cocktail that was refreshing and perfectly fine, if not particularly memorable. Service was a bit inconsistent. The bartender wasn't very warm or welcoming to us initially, though that changed once our friend--who is a regular--arrived. Overall, it's a comfortable spot to meet friends and hang out for a few hours, especially on a weekday like Thursday. That said, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return, but I can see why it works well as a local neighborhood hang.

Not too crowded, the wait for a pool table was about 30 minutes, enough for a quick round of shuffleboarding. The games are relatively cheap, and there's so much variety, ping pong and board games. The live jazz is really what sets this place apart from the other pool halls, starting around 7 pm with what seems like maybe the house band and I think they have guests later in the night. It's the perfect atmosphere, fun lighting, lots of grungy writing on the walls, good indie music from the 2010s before the jazz starts. Plus the spacing of the tables is good so you're not constantly bumping into other players, which is a pet peeve of mine. I'm sure it's busier later in the night but it's perfect for an early stop in the evening. Cheap drinks and good deals as well!

Pretty cool and genuinely unique spot, different from most places in the city. The whole concept is…read morebuilt around keeping your hands busy: pool tables, ping pong, shuffleboard, foosball, chess, checkers, even some old-school arcade cabinets scattered through a sprawling underground space. It's actually a legacy spot in disguise. This basement used to house Fat Cat, a longtime West Village institution that shut down right before the pandemic, and before that the room itself was a bowling alley, tucked into a 1932 Art Deco building a few steps from Stonewall. Drink selection isn't the draw here, don't come expecting a deep cocktail list. Crowd skews heavily undergrad, and the place is loud, so it's not the spot for an intimate one-on-one or a real group conversation. It's built for a different kind of hang: elbow your way to a table, keep your hands busy, let the noise do the rest. There's also live jazz most nights, which adds a nice layer if you catch it at the right time. Neat place, just know what you're walking into.

I arrived at 4 for my reservation for the limited burger and ordered it and a few other items. THE BEST THING I ATE was the Fois Gras. Without hesitation, quite possibly the best item on the menu. I could've eaten five orders of it. The burger was good, it wasn't the best burger in the world, it wasn't so great that I'm dying to go back and have it again... The fois gras on the other hand, stole the show. I'm definitely going back for it. The very next day, I went to Peter Luger, and Peter Luger's Burger is superior. If you don't don't believe me do a bang bang in the same day and if you can't handle that, go the next day to Peter Luger. That burger will blow your mind away. Of course, the service there and their old school way of doing things where they bring out a medium rare steak still cooking on a boiling hot plate till it's medium by the time you eat half of it is what's keeping them from being busy. They should've abandoned that sizzling plate. In any event, I digress, the burger at sip & guzzle, it's just like the burger at red Hook Tavern, overhyped & does not live up to the hype as being one of the if not "the best burger in the world". Peter Lugar still has the best burger and the fries are top notch too. Again, the burger was good. The fois gras stole the show. The place is cool, it's small, reservations are tough & The Burger is limited so walk-ins are a gamble. The fact that the bar doesn't open before four so that when you get there early, you can sit and have a drink really is a fail. I find that to be plain silly. Drinks were good. High price point for drinks that were as good as anywhere else, again not superior, but that location is small and rent is surely massive. So, all good. Id go back for apps and 1 drink.

Daily they have a pianist rotation along with bar staff who have voices of angels. Service at Duplex is always superb, table or at the bar. I assure you though, once you enter the doors of Duplex - you will want a table. You're immersed into the musical beauty of the city, you're reminded of Broadway dreams and Empire State miracles. Duplex gets better the more you open yourself to the social happenings around you. Share a drink, take some shots, sing a song in front of strangers. Keep in mind your tab will get pricey, but that is what you'll have to be willing to pay. Though you need not be inebriated to enjoy Duplex, I've done it multiple times and have had a great experience either way.

Since we had such a great time, we stopped in on the next night, and it was a massive disappointment. Shitty attitude from the bartender. (Not sure if there were 2 bartenders with the attitude, or just one terrible bartender and a friend hanging out with him doing nothing but distracting him.) Either way, the bar was not crowded yet and he straight up ignored us. For a while. We left. Drinks are made with the cheapest of booze and served in plastic cups. Based on the quality, the prices are high, even for the neighborhood. Despite the drinks and despite the crappy service on the second visit, we will likely come back the next time we're in town in hopes of finding a bartender who understands the job. It's near other stuff we like, and the music and vibes were that good on the first night. And if it sucks again, there's like a thousand other places in walking distance.
