Definitely hits the spot. They also make Chimichangas that are delicious. The tres leches french toast is a nice treat as well. The service is great. They deliver on time or early. Looking forward to trying other dishes.

Mixed thought, menu isn't anything impressive. Lot of stuff you'd see in your average bodega so it…read morecan be underwhelming. There are some gems though. They're pancake and French toast selection for example. They also have other items you wouldn't normally see. For example I ordered the fried pork belly, with rice, and maduros. Best thing about this place is that it's relatively cheap and affordable. So it's hard to complain. My biggest complaint is the wait time. It feels like they prioritize delivery orders over anything. Took a while for my food to come. Speaking of, the fried pork belly was pretty good. The fat was delicious. The rice was fine and the maduros disappointing. I was t a fan of how they cooked it. I also got an ice chai latte and that was good too. Overall it's a good spot to have a cheap decent meal. Whether that is breakfast or lunch if you're in the area. Definitely worth ordering if you can get it. I'd eat here again but wouldn't go out of my way to do so.

I went in (I did have an Boba tea in hand on this sunny day".), looked at the menu, already decided what i wanted to eat and drink. Anyway, i go to the bar and tell the bartender ( later mentioned he is the owner), "table for 1" outside. He kindly mentioned "no outside drinks". I said ok no problem... "should i dump it or can you hold it, i am buying drinks & definitely food". He mentioned "the law " many times and an incident he had earlier. I said fine... even though I will buy drinks and food. The bartender then expressed "this will not work out...." Confused i said what do you mean....? He expressed that he is the owner and he is not going to serve me. " it's not gonna work out , I am all of this and you cant stay here" I didn't understand why he REFUSED to service me ...just after simply asking questions. No attitude and definitely nothing off putting. Question, a patron like myself will have service refused for simply asking a question?? Or was there more ? Why was I refused service? I dont want to make this about Race....but there was no attitude, no aggression....just a question.

Simple little neighbourhood café. Lots of seating. Had a nice variety of drinks. The Oreo matcha…read morewas unexpectedly so good. I dipped the chocolate chip cookie in it too.

I like this place for a cute no frills brunch experience. It's a nice place in the neighborhood to…read morecome for a chat and decent brunch food. I've been here twice and both times I came I got the Dulce de Leche cinnamon latte and the French toast with fruits. Both very yum. I also have had their croissant breakfast sandwich which was also yum. The service is okay, not the greatest when it comes to being seated or acknowledged when you walk in. You kind of have to have been there before to understand how the set up works. You order at the front and grab a table if any left. You grab a menu so you can peruse on line before it's your turn to order. Then you're given a table number stand which you place on your table so the servers know where to bring your food. It's not noisy so you can hear your companion talk so this is definitely a good place for a coffee and chat.

They had a great variety, I ended up getting the lemon meringue tart. It wasn't too sweet and the crust was decent. While waiting to pay I realized that they also sold sandwiches and soups. I'll be sure to give it a try in the future.

DELICIOUS!!! This is a hidden gem, right outside Newkirk Station (B and Q trains). Every time I…read morevisit that area, I make sure to stop by. The best desserts and pastries. They have sandwiches (eg, banh Mi) and the staff works with you if you are a vegetarian. The staff are very kind. I have eaten breakfast (pasties and omelette), lunch, and desserts here. They also offer an incredible rotisserie chicken, vegetables, and salmon. The venue is pristine, and the food is of high quality, meticulously prepared with attention to detail. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend a stop, repeatedly.

The place has character for sure! Seating inside or out. I arrived early - around 8 - so it was…read morebusy but mostly to-go orders. I'm sure with a later time, it would be busier. I ordered an avocado bagel on seven grain. It was all delicious. There was lettuce and cucumber that was not listed on the menu, but that's ok. The whole thing had a lemony flavor that normally I don't like, but it went well with the other flavors. The egg was over medium, which they didn't ask me how I wanted, but I'm sure they'd change it if you asked. They were very responsive, polite, and quick.

Cafe Madeline is a fun brunch spot with a cozy atmosphere but it defs can get super busy. If you…read morecan, come early to beat the brunch rush. The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
