So, although I had high hopes for this place, this was a let down. The outside decor and the appeal of small french hideaway was a draw. Once inside, you'll feel like you're in a convenience store/studio apartment. We got two omelettes, one French and one Veggie. The plate looked like it was missing something and was just too bare. We ended up ordering a few more pieces of bread since that's all they had. The muffins didn't look fresh. The omelettes weren't bad, but definitely not mind blowing or to die for. Overall this is a resounding "Meh".
Grabbed a breakfast sandwich here – can't complain! The staff here is really friendly and quick. Luckily I live pretty close so will definitely come back.
Great place for a quick yet satisfying breakfast! I had a large ice coffee and croissant sandwich with egg white and turkey to finish a great morning workout. Both were perfectly done and the owners were very nice.
Finally made it to The Little Grocery after hearing to many great things about it. I got a sausage and egg sandwich. I was a little put off by the price initially since I could get one of these for $2 or less at your typical NYC deli. But this sausage+egg sandwich is definitely a step above your typical NYC breakfast sandwich. They use good bread (from Balthazar) and decent quality sausage.
This place is tiny so it's really more of a takeout place. The owner is so friendly. Highly recommend!
Grabbed a breakfast sandwich to go here this morning. This place is TINY!! But I like that it's a mom and pop shop, keeps it authentic.
The owner was sitting down watching Euro football, or soccer as we say here at 830 this morning. There was one guy behind the counter and he cooks the eggs and food right in front of you on skillets. It's nice to see how your food is being handled or
Prepared.
I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on a roll to go. It took about 5-7 minutes. It's a smaller breakfast sandwich but is tasty. The sausage really gives it a lot of flavor and it stayed warm/hot for about 25 minutes before we ate it.
They take CC and there aren't many places to sit inside but no one was really eating there.
It can get a little packed because the operation is so small and therefore a little slow but definitely worth going to.
Was disappointed with this restaurant after reading previous Yelp reviews. Service was slow, and my breakfast sandwich fell apart each bite I took. The food is definitely fresh as they make it right in front of you, but I still would be hesitant to go back.
This place reminded me of the cafes in Paris. Small but authentic. I had the spinach quiche, which was mostly spinach with very little crust. My husband had ham, egg and cheese on a crossaint. The crossaint was from Balthazar, which is one of my husband's favorite bakeries in the city. The crew were very friendly. I could definitely chill there whole day.
Such a cute little breakfast stop! As some people have already mentioned, the owner is hilarious. We asked him for a second or two to look at the menu, so he said, "One potato, two potato, are you ready now?" Then, when we said we were ready he said he was about to sit down and have his coffee now, too late.
I love funny people with a good sense of humor. You can tell they care about their customers, and they are on a first name basis with their regulars. Anyway, I digress. Since I'm such a fatty, I had the french toast AND the smoked salmon, capers, and goat cheese omelet (Sike: I shared). But, they were both absolutely delicious. I know they are known for their french toast, but the omelet was equally as good. Very filling dishes. The place is very small and quaint. I went around 11am on a Saturday, and we were able to get a seat, and our food was ready in a matter of minutes.
If I lived in Hoboken, I would be here all the time. I love helping small businesses, especially when they are friendly and the food is delicious.
