  1. Amazing breakfast and lunch spot. Loved the ambiance and decor. We enjoyed the buttermilk pancakes, omelette with bacon and mushrooms and the veggie wrap. All were delicious. Service was great and friendly.

  2. A really great brunch spot! We went on a Sunday morning and after a short wait, were seated promptly at the front of the restaurant. It's a very cozy place that almost feels like your in someone's home.  They offer counter and table seating and have a full bar. The seating is first come first serve and the place was really crowded but we were there early enough that there was barely a wait. The service was fantastic and quick. The menu offered a wide variety of traditional brunch foods and a few surprises. We had the brioche French toast which was super thick with lemon curd and a raspberry compote on top. It was so delicious and would recommend it highly. I also had the Bluebell breakfast with came with sausage, bacon, biscuit, 2 eggs, some fruit and potatoes with a side of fantastic raspberry preserves. It was all delicious and very affordable. We also had the omelette which was cooked perfectly stuffed with your option of ingredients. The food came quickly and was wonderful. I'm glad we found this great brunch spot in Gramercy.

  3. Always a good break away from a busy morning. This is my happy go to for a light yet filling breakfast and a chill space.

    I only order the Bluebell breakfast:

    Soft biscuit, jam, eggs any style (I opted for poached today), and home fries. Oh, and a few fruit as decor and a snack–usually cantaloupe and grapes. Their home fries lean more towards thinly sliced potatoes, borderline fries, but I dig it.

    Friendly staff, quick service, comfy space, good breakfast. All smiles here.

  4. Very cute brunch option for Glamercy Park!

    Post NYHM.. I was hungry for something delicious and brunch-esque… And when my brunch babe and I arrived around 11am on a Sunday we were seated immediately… However the wait for parties larger than 2 was long.

    They serve bottomless Irving farm coffee and a very ranged selection of options, from pancakes, to sandwhiches, salads and then typical brunch egg fare.

    I got the omlette with spinach and muchrooms, it came with a five star biscuit that I inhaled, super delicious non greasy homefries, and a pretty good omlette.

    My brunch babe got the bluebell breakfast and definitely looked like a good deal as it came with a generous portion of varied things to brunch on.

    Overall I would recommend as a great brunch option for the area!

  5. We ate a really nice breakfast here on our trip to NYC. We wanted something other than a bagel. I had a really nice omelette and coffee.  It was a cute little place, not too crowded.  The omelette had come with meat in it at first, and they had no problem fixing it.  Got the correct order pretty quickly in fact. No complaints 🙂  My bf had the eggs benedict and really liked that a lot too! It was the perfect spot for breakfast!

  6. I've been here a few times for brunch with my boyfriend since we're in the area. I would give it more of a 3.5 rather than just a 3. It is a solid brunch spot in the area (there aren't that many brunch options in this neighborhood). It is rustic, cutie, and has your standard brunch food items. Prices are also decent.

    My favorite spot is right at the bar (if you are a party of two) or further into the restaurant (vs. right up front near the windows).

    FOOD/DRINKS:
    -Steak & eggs: this is good! comes with a bit of fruit, potatoes (or fries if you ask), and a biscuit
    -Side of bacon: This is good to split with 2 people – they give you enough bacon
    -Omelette: Big portion with potatoes and a biscuit. I usually add more veggies than what comes with the dish (you can pick 2 and add on for extra $)
    -Bloody Mary: I always get one of these when I come. Nothing fancy (doesn't come with any garnishes), but it is good and spicy.

  7. My favorite brunch place in the Gramercy area! I come here every weekend and although the lines always appear along, I never end up waiting more than 15 minutes.

    The wait staff are friendly and super efficient.

    I'm a big fan of the country eggs- sausage gravy over a biscuit- with scrambled eggs and home fries. The coffee is great too! (I believe they get it from Irving farm).

  8. Got an excellent drip coffee here Sunday in the afternoon, quaint interior with some seating in the back, friendly and cheerful staff.
