Description
Originally founded by Robert Arbor on Soho's Macdougal Street, this neighborhood spot transitioned from a local cafe chain to its current Greenpoint home. The kitchen focuses on seasonal, locally sourced comfort food, serving up signature crêpes alongside escargot, eggs benedict, and French toast, while the owner personally bakes all the cookies. Inside, the space features wicker chairs, while outside, sidewalk tables provide a spot for people-watching. The staff keeps service fast and composed, making it an easy fit for a solo date or a big brunch.
