    Breakfast Cuban
    Riley L.

    Coffee was okay but the sandwich was absolute gasss. I got the Cuban breakfast sandwich it was ready relatively quick, I just suggest ordering ahead bc it's a small space and waiting inside is difficult.

    Cute local spot! This spot is one of our go to places when we want a lighter sandwich or a healthier alternative to deli food. They offer some nutritious options in addition to their regular sandwiches. I noticed they had expanded their menu, so I decided to give it another try. I usually visit in person, but this time, I opted for delivery. - Chopped cheese sandwich was delicious, though it felt more like a Philly cheesesteak with grilled onions and peppers. - Lamb sandwich was solid. - Chickpea salad was good, though the chickpeas were a bit mushy. - Chicken chipotle panini comes with a salad and has a nice balance of flavors. Special requests were accommodated well!

    This place is a hidden neighborhood gem. Even though I live close by, I can't say that I frequent it very often. But I've enjoyed just about everything I've tried. My favorite thing here is their breakfast Cuban. Just the bread alone is a 10. The sandwich is on the small side, but it's a hearty sandwich that will fill you up. The breakfast burrito is also great. Tried a couple of their loaf cakes and they're good too. Had coffee only a couple of times. I liked their cortado. All in all, a great place to get a quick bite or caffeine hit when in the area.

    Stopped by Rex for breakfast and it turned out to be a really solid spot. The place has a clean, simple vibe with a big selection of pastries and food. Definitely more than your typical coffee shop. I ordered the breakfast Cubano and a flat white. The Cubano was excellent. The pork was moist and flavorful, the pickles and egg worked perfectly together, and the brioche bun was toasted to a golden brown with that perfect crunch. It was a little on the smaller side, but the quality made up for it. Easily one of the better breakfast sandwiches I've had in the city. The flat white was fine, it did the job. The food is definitely the star here. Seating is pretty limited, most seats are usually taken. Still, I'd 100% come back for the sandwiches and the calm atmosphere when you can find a spot. Great place for a quick bite or to grab something on the go.

    Decent breakfast food. We ordered to the office for an onsite. I felt the bagels they used were very mediocre, but the sandwich itself was good overall, and I liked how they cooked the eggs.

    I was in the area and found this place on Yelp for breakfast. It was only a 2 minute walk from where I needed to be, so the decision was easy. I was greeted immediately when I walked in. It's a small spot. Only about three tables. Definitely more of a grab and go place. When I saw all the options for my breakfast sandwich, I still decided to be simple; BEC with hot sauce. I place my order and also order a small black iced coffee. As I'm sipping on my iced coffee (which was quite good), the kind gentleman behind the counter informs me they are out of bacon and asks me if I want a different meat instead. Hmm, how can you just run out of bacon? I went with sausage. Although the sandwich was tasty, I wish it was a sausage patty instead of sausage links. Patties are just better for breakfast sandwiches. Overall, it was a good experience. I would return and hope they have bacon!

    Omg the egg sandwich with ham and cheese here is heavenly. Not the biggest sandwich, but so good nevertheless. The iced coffee here is also fantastic! Service was relatively fast and ambiance is very casual. Do note though that seating is limited and this place fills up quickly during the weekend!

    Popped in for a little cappuccino and croissant treat! I actually searched Yelp for a croissants in the area, I was craving a good pastry. The croissant didn't disappoint, freshly baked and tasty. They were able to accommodate and made a single shot cappuccino for me . Love that they use Battenkill milk, it's my all time favorite. It looks like they have a lot of delicious, freshly baked pastries, and even make bagel sandwiches. A lot more than you could typically ask for from a small coffee shop.

    Menu

    The cafe was pretty small and didn't have much seating but it had a good vibe. The people working at the cafe are also pretty nice. I didn't get to try the food but some of the pastries looked interesting. I got a vanilla iced latte and it was pretty good ~ they also have extra syrup and milk on the side if you'd like to add more.

    Chorizo Breakfast Burrito
    Comfort O.

    Ngl I didn't expect this to be good but my chorizo breakfast burrito was actually fire. On the smaller side for sure but it was just like 8 bucks. Tons of flavor and lots of meat and actually a nice lil bit of spice. Service was good too. They were quick. I mean it's a lil coffee shop so not much of an ambiance. Clientele seems annoying but I guess they can't control that. I'd just walk over to the pier and enjoy my food there where there is ample space and seating and a view not clogged up by hipsters - which I actually did do.

    A gem in the city. My cousin took me here, she said the coffee was one of the best around and that they also had yummy eats for breakfast. Once you walk in, you can see the menu to the left for food and look up for the drink menu. I got an iced dirty chai with oat milk and it was the best coffee I had in NY at this point. Def get the brioche with chorizo, I also added spinach and jalepeños... warm and fresh, fluffy eggs and some salsa to top it off. The workers were super polite and helpful. A small and quaint spot, but I would def come here to get some work done as the energy was good. Good flow of customers, I can tell it's a favorite!

    Egg Sandwich, Cappuccino 6 oz
    Jasmin G.

    My favorite weekend breakfast spot! I am very loyal to Rex's egg sandwich. I love how I can customize it every time, and the eggs are cooked to perfection. Their coffee is also incredible. I also recommend trying one of the many fresh baked goods. The banana bread is a personal favorite. Great neighborhood vibes and comfy (but minimal) seating.

    Jessica S.

    Loved this spot!! Super delicious bfast sandwiches that i think r a nice not too large size. The eggs r perfectly cooked and the brioche is pillowy w a nice chew. Also very smooth and yum espresso - i got the effervesso (?) which i thoroughly enjoyed. Wld 100% return!

I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety!

Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.

They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y.
