We thought there would be a long line for Sunday brunch but we were able to walk right in! They had a brunch special, picking an entree and a drink for $24ish, which is definitely a bit pricey. - Mud Burrito (4/5): friend said it was pretty ok- standard burrito - Mudman Sandwich (3/5): inside had roasted peppers, and grilled chicken. It tasted like a standard deli sandwich... I think the deli spots do it better. Chicken was on the drier side and I wish there was some kind of sauce that was on the sandwich My sandwich dish on the menu also had options of sides such as rice or beans, home fries, french fries, but when it came to ordering, the waitress didn't ask and came back with home fries. The atmosphere also didn't feel as friendly and we definitely felt rushed to leave as soon as they saw we were done (despite having no customers lined out the door). read more

((4.25 stars)) MUD is an East Village institution, now. but when it started...it was once a big orange coffee truck parked on Astor. eventually the truck turned into a brick-n-mortar establishment which serves an all day brunch menu as well beer & wine at night. the cafe is fairly busy if you are looking to sit and eat/drink, but expect a wait. however, the coffee bar is in front and you can get to-go drink fairly quickly. the coffee, here, is dependable and strong. it's not my favorite but it is good and served casually as MUD is not pretentious or fancy. recently, stopped by for a cortado, which hit the spot on a chilly afternoon. the down-to-earth vibes translate into a pretty welcoming spot in the East Village as the staff is friendly and kind. good vibes all around is what you'll find here. while i don't make it here as much as i used to...it's great to see MUD thriving in 2026! read more

MUD is like a warm hug. It's cozy and inviting and it's incredibly easy to stay more than a while. Coffee drinkers linger in the front with cute dogs and there's lots of tables to dine in from the back. With a vast menu of reasonable and delicious items, MUD is popular for a variety of reasons. Really enjoyed their MUDMAN Sandwitch and their Maple Latte while people watching. Just wish they had WiFi! read more

What a cute place I found to have some breakfast and waste time at. There is a Mud coffee truck that I see around town so when I saw that there was a sit down place I wanted to try it out. When you walk in there is a bar area that you are free to sit at to enjoy food and or coffee. When you walk towards the back there are some tables and chairs and that is where I sat. It was a bit on the darker side. I then realized there is another back part where it's alot lighter. I did not realize until I was done about this back space. They also have a small outdoor space in the front of the store. To eat I had their avocado toast. It was on Sourdough and I had onions on it. I was super hungry and ate the whole thing. It tasted like there may have been sea salt on it too.. but I could be wrong on that. The avocado tasted fresh and the eggs were good too! I had a friendly waitress who took my allergies into account. I would come back here and try out some other of their items off the menu. read more

MUD has a special place in my heart always! The chai latte is the best chai I've had anywhere. To be honest, it's the only place I will get a chai. The almond sourdough French toast was also amazing! The workers are always super sweet and cool. My favorite cafe. read more

Name of restaurant is accurate. As good as mud. Please take huevos rancheros on tostadas off the brunch menu. It was offensive. It was just over medium eggs with canned tomato sauce thrown on it all on top of beans and rice. :( Way overpriced. Service was bad. Music and vibes were cool though. read more

At this point MUD is a New York establishment. It has a healthy hippie vibe and I love that. The cozy courtyard in the back is a perfect get away from bustling streets. Lots of breakfast foods to satisfy your cravings. And. They also have brunch combos if, like me, you like a set. I've tried a few things on the menu and not once was I disappointed. I would say some of their waiters are just floating around. There's no rush so don't expect top notch service. It's a place to just come and chill. read more

Today me and my gal went to MUD for breakfast. We entered the establishment and were told it was a fixed price of around 25 bucks for an entree, coffee, and mimosa. Surprised but not turned off we were seated. I took the chair facing the wall, as a gentlemen of course, but dealt with the larry david scenario of an uneven and wobbly chair. I overcame this. The buttermilk banana pancakes were delightful but lord were they served with a mountain of berries. Could've been called the berry. Also the back room was lit like i was inside of a kaleidoscope. Anyways nice enough deal and good start to the day. read more

I came here with a friend to get coffee/tea. The menu is pretty large, but I settled on hot earl grey tea. It's a really cute and cozy space. The service was good, too. I would definitely come back! read more

Mud is a great little breakfast spot with a lot of charm. We waited about ten to fifteen minutes to get in, which felt reasonable. They have a set menu that comes out to twenty four dollars for everything, which makes ordering simple. I got the breakfast burrito with an orange juice. The burrito was pretty good, but it reminded me a bit of Chipotle, so I might try something different next time. What really stood out was the vibe. The interior design is beautiful and cozy, and the space feels welcoming. We also happened to sit near 2Hollis, which was a fun surprise and added to the experience. Service was really good from start to finish. Overall a solid spot that I would come back to, especially for the atmosphere. read more

Lots of mixed reviews here but I thought it was excellent. I'd describe the vibe inside as hippy meets enchanted forest. Super cute, more seating in the back area. Staff were all very friendly upon entering and we were seated right away on a Thursday at 10am. I got the BAT sandwich, added eggs to make it more breakfasty. Highly recommend. I asked for extra garlic mayo on the side. The home fries were tasty too. The maple latte was SO yummy. I'll definitely be back. read more

Absolutely delicious breakfast. Very different but cozy ambiance. Very kind and attentive service but also distant enough not to be annoying. Really enjoyed myself.

MUD Café - Where the Ink Bleeds and Radiohead Plays You know that rare moment when a place finds you before you even realize you were looking? That was MUD Café on East 9th for me. A grungy, glorious slice of the East Village where the coffee is strong, the vibe is stronger, and Thom Yorke's voice wraps around your thoughts like a warm, melancholic blanket. I walked in planning to write. I walked out an hour later having written pages. Back-to-back Radiohead played like the universe had synced its playlist to my bloodstream. They didn't know most of the tattoos on my body are a Radiohead reference. But somehow, they just knew. The staff didn't hover, didn't hustle me along. They simply let me be, which, in this city, is rarer than good guac. Tomorrow, I fly out. But not before I return for one last sit before the airport. And in June, when I'm back in the big apple, I'll beeline straight for that moody little gem with my pen, my coffee order, and my whole damn heart. If you write, think, brood, or breathe to music that knows your name before you say it--this place is for you. MUD Café isn't just a coffee spot. It's a character in my next novel. read more

Great vibes. Very cozy, cool decor, dim lighting, not overwhelming or loud for a brunch place. You are very much squeeeshed in there, so it isn't a super accessible place if that's a consideration for you. The staff was good. Present but not too present. Brunch deal was great. Terrific coffee. Solid mimosa. Good food. We tried the banana pancake and burrito. Both I really liked. I was too full to finish. The one thing is we added chorizo to the burrito and either they forgot to put it in or it was so faint we couldn't taste it. Overall, a good spot if you're looking for a brunch deal. read more

Such a cute restaurant, I loved the decor and greenhouse room. The maple latte was fire. There is a fixed rate option for breakfast which includes your meal & a drink (can be a mimosa). Quick service! Cute stores to walk around nearby while you wait for your table. read more

Great coffee and a really cute storefront! The pastries were decent too just not super fresh but expected. I've had hit or miss experience with the staff here. Love that they're open late but i've had some experience with the staff being a bit rude and ignoring our very calm table late at night which was weird. Mostly though I've been treated by nice baristas and friendly wait staff! Would definitely recommend this place especially for late night coffee needs! read more

Came for brunch on the weekend around 10:30am. Was able to walk in and get a table even though it was pretty busy. The brunch deal was $24 which included any dish plus a beer, champagne, coffee, or OJ. So I'd say it wasn't a bad deal at all. All the food was really mediocre. Nothing was seasoned properly. The French toast was oddly rubbery. It felt like it was made earlier in the morning and then just heated up. The French breakfast was fine but both the potatoes and the croissant sandwich lacked any seasoning and really just fell flat for me. The coffee wasn't awful but it was on the dark side and didn't have much of a flavor to it. The vibe of the place was cool and it definitely gets point for it, and the service was great! read more

Met here for a quick early bite on a Friday evening and got it seated quickly and was well taken care of by the lovely young waitstaff. Food was delicious and we both ordered the 'MUD' coffee with maple syrup which was absolutely delicious almost good enough for dessert!

Love this little spot in East Village and would happily come back here again! Great ambience delicious food and wonderful attentive waitstaff :) read more

I recently was in an Airbnb in Chelsea for 6 weeks. The Owner provided a package of Mudtrucker coffee in the refrigerator. Being from Cambridge MA I had never heard of Mud coffee and I was impressed. The Mudtrucker blend was rich, smooth and left no bitter aftertaste. When my Airbnb rental in Manhattan was over, I ordered 2 lbs. of the Mudtrucker beans. Unfortunately the coffee from the Mudtrucker beans is a huge disappointment. Dull and bitter. My guess is that the beans were old, or that the Mudtrucker blend had changed? Anyway, I won't be ordering Mud coffee anymore. read more

Came with my friend for brunch on a saturday and had to wait for a bit outside but wasnt too bad. The ambience in here is pretty nice and we got a nice small table in the back which was cozy.

My friend enjoyed her huevos rancheros though so maybe i just ordered the wrong things but not sure I would go back read more

Coffee was good. read more

MUD is an East Village staple. Always packed inside and a line for coffee. If you arrive before noon on weekends, you can get a table with little to no wait. There are also large tables outside which is a plus if you have a dog. We've been to MUD for brunch a couple times and the food is hit or miss. It seems like they were short staffed the last visit, as our dishes too awhile, were bland and not salted. Can't go wrong with their coffee though! read more

One of the top brunch places in the city - top 10 I'd say. The French breakfast sandwich was so tasty and savory and the croissant was so soft. The French toast was sooo good, probably one of the best French toast of the city - GET THIS! The coffee was fine, maybe even good but not great. I give them credit for keeping the iced cappuccino with a foam cap as that's not always done. read more

First off huge thank you to Zach for helping us get situated and our drinks so quickly and easily! He wasted no time guiding us to any table of our choosing and doing so in a kind and friendly manner! This place clearly takes lots of inspo from Mexican culturally popular breakfast dishes and I really enjoyed their incorporation of that with their own little twist! Very affordable brunch for the East Village which was quite the pleasant surprise Good for lunch breakfast and some mimosas! Cozy seating without making you feel crowded! (Aesthetically pleasing if you're into that lol) read more

I came here for the brunch and food wise it went well, I had the samosa with the French breakfast and it was pretty filling and for the price I paid it was worth it. The service was great, as the waiter checked on us regularly and made sure we were on point. Unfortunately, the space outside was super hot, and needed an AC to cool the space down. I see myself going back as their pre-fixed menu for brunch has so many good options, which is a great deal. read more

This place is always a hit whenever I need to go get some brunch with my friends. They've got solid options from a sweet french toast to your classic, savory eggs. I got the sourdough french toast, which was topped with almonds and fruit. It was sooo good. They also have decent coffee here as well so you can get your morning pick-me-up. Although this place may seem small, they have seating options out front as well as a back area. I didn't have to wait long for a table; however, this place can get really busy on the weekends so it's best to come early. read more

I was just moving in my stuff to my new apartment and hmmm my roommate and I came to check out the lunch here! We got in around 12:30ish on a weekend and although it was busy we were able to be seated at the bar within 10 mins. It was cute little restaurant but the bar seating is awkwardly placed and the double bench was not super sturdy. The waitstaff was very nice and running all over the place but we were able to get our orders in and our food out in about 20-30 mins. She really likes the coffee here, but I didn't try. I ordered the Mudmama salad with blackened chicken and she ordered the Burrito! My salad tasted really fresh and the bread was delicious! I'm only taking points off since my avocado came with the little pit indent in it, the chicken was a little dry and not super blackened and the dressing didn't seem like it went with the salad since it tasted more on the acidic side. Otherwise the chickpeas were really good! I probably would see if they had different dressing if I ordered this salad again but not a bad brunch spot! read more

This restaurant doesn't take reservations, but when we came on a weekend we only had to wait about 15 minutes. They have indoor seating and seating at their back patio. Their brunch deal was great. I got the Mudman sandwich, orange juice, and a coffee all for around $25. The sandwich was toasted and had a nice crunch to the outside and was packed with layers of meat, vegetables, and a delicious garlic aioli. The orange juice was so refreshing and the coffee was good! My favorite were the potatoes. I would literally come back here just to eat the potatoes again. They were so well seasoned, not too salty, and soft with each bite. The potatoes are part of the reason why I'm giving this 5 stars, Service was great, our server was so nice and gave good recommendations on the menu. read more

MUD - Mudman Special Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

MUD is allegedly Timothee Chalamet's favorite coffee spot, but alas, the day I went with my boyfriend and a good friend from college was not the opportunity to meet my all-time favorite celebrity. Next time, I guess... One thing I loved about MUD was that the place also had a natural lit seating area at the very back - perfect for a more intimate and quieter breakfast/brunch setting. Very rarely do I struggle to pick which dish to order, but given how delicious everything on the menu sounded, I was really fighting between a sandwich, pancakes, or **sourdough** French toast. In the end, though, I had an almond milk cappuccino with a 2-egg scramble. Everything tasted great! The sausage and caramelized onions I chose as toppings to my scramble gave the eggs a nice touch of sweetness. The almond milk also blew me away! I love my cappuccinos with a lot of foam, and the barista who prepared my drink made my cap incredibly well. Would definitely come back to MUD the next time I'm back in NYC. It's very reminiscent of Fog City Cafe, one of my favorite cafes closer to my home in Daly City, CA. read more
