I love coming here for the variety of foods and desserts that they offer. And I've even gotten salad from the salad bar, which was quite good. It is however, quite expensive and not at all a place I would shop for actual groceries. My boyfriend wants bought a little bag of cookies for basically $12 and I was shocked at the price. Service kind of meh, I was once walking around for ages, trying to figure out where to put forks and spoons once being finished and there was really no one to help me. I also stood at the counter waiting to ask someone and basically got ignored (back hot food area). I'd really only be back for special foods and desserts on a rare occasion

I loved the place's aesthetic; it truly captures the feel of a nice, no-frills NYC deli. The pricing felt a little high for the portion size of the breakfast sandwich, but not wildly unreasonable for a popular spot. I ordered the egg, cheese, and sausage on a cheddar jalapeño bagel. I'm admittedly picky when it comes to bagels as my family is from Jersey, so my standards are pretty set. While the bagel was good, it did feel a bit overhyped. As a visitor, I'm not sure what the local competition is like, but I was expecting more of that signature NY-style chewiness. Still, it was a solid option overall and clearly a fan favorite.

First of all, when entering, it is very crowded near the door. We met with the hostess at the door and she greeted us and said she would need to clear off a table for us and told us we would need to order at the register. That's fine..... she offered us menus to look at while we waited. So, we took the menus and expected to be told when the table was ready. What I was not told is that we were apparently right where the line for the register is to form. I didn't know that until another customer decided to make a nasty comment about "moving up". Well, after 5 minutes of waiting we just went and sat down at what was apparently the cleared table. Hostess never came back and told us our table was ready. So we sat down and looked over the menu. We then went up to order and left menus on our table. First of all, the line to order and the entire process to get inside was just way more confusing and unorganized than it needed to be. While in line, someone came by and bused our table and removed the menus we had left. Okay not a big deal, but there were also other customers trying to then come and take our table...... We ordered our food and went back to our table. The food came out in a timely manner and the food was fine. We got a cinnamon roll, coffee, tofu scramble and avocado toast. I really don't have any complaints with the food, but it wasn't anything special. But the complete chaos of this place, unorganized staff, and poor service has permanently written this place off my list. There are too many options in the area for a better breakfast without all the disorganized chaos. Go somewhere else like Briggs, Another Broken Egg, Foster's, or Flying Biscuit. You won't be guessing at how their setup works when you enter the door...... Any of these other options would be more satisfying and provide better service.

The star of the show in my opinion were the hush puppies and the corn and wild mushroom risotto. There were sooo many different flavors that perfectly complemented each other. I was blown away. And the pig cheek on top was incredible. 500/10. Our server made great recommendations! Then-- chaos and heartbreak ensued in the form of a fire alarm. We were forced to evacuate the restaurant as the fire department arrived , leaving about half our meal on the table. After 30 or so minutes of waiting out in the cold (we were apparently the only guests who hadn't paid out yet) our server came to find us. He asked us if we wanted to just give him our credit card information and he would ring us up later, when the fire department gave them the ok, as he understood not wanting to wait around. It broke our heart to leave our leftovers, but we agreed and went to go get the car. Thankfully we are stubborn.. and optimistic to a fault. And by the third time we circled around the block, the fire truck was pulling away. I ran in and asked if there was any chance our food hadn't been thrown away yet, and it hadn't! The staff was happy we had been able to come back, and they packed everything up for us, even taking the hush puppies off the bill and sneaking in a complimentary piece of key lime pie. I'm so glad we were able to tip our server appropriately for his great service-- and rescue our leftovers. Happy ending. All was well. (And the fire ended up being something innocuous in the unit above the restaurant)
