“Hunny left with 4 donuts (which he said were very good he ate them for breakfast and I had the other half of my HUGE salad).”
“they have the freshest, most delicious donuts i've tasted in a while, dunkin donuts and krispy kreme have a lot to learn from this place.”
“This is the neighborhood's down to earth, old-school style of diner that is disappearing in NYC.”

"THE OWNER HIMSELF MADE THE ORDER, THERE WAS NO CHEESE, AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE FOOD."
I don't know what's more preposterous: the fact that the "owner" stood by the slop that left the restaurant and was delivered to me, or the fact that they refused to refund my money.
I placed an order via grubhub for a vegetable omelette with a snapple and a redbull. The order came up to almost twenty dollars. My order arrived surprisingly fast, but I wasn't about to complain because I was starving.
I immediately noticed a weird aftertaste. I also tasted a trace of cheddar cheese which was pretty disturbing because that meant that they didn't bother to clean whatever grill they used before they prepared my omelette. What if I was lactose intolerant?!
I was starving, so I thought maybe having a bite of toast and adding some salt and pepper would make it better. It made it worse. The toast I received had a chunk of butter in the center of the two slices, and it wasn't even spread. If it was spread, it was probably done half assed. I had two co-workers try some of the omelette after me to see if maybe it was just me tasting something off, and they both agreed. One of them even thought that it had an old taste to it.
I complained to grubhub, who of course reached out to the restaurant. How does this place have decent reviews?
Typical Brooklyn dinner coffee shop.
I pass this place on my way to work everyday and have been enticed by the sign advertising donuts. I sat down for an old fashioned and a cup of coffee. The total was ~$4. I came in around 7:15AM and this place was not busy which for me was kind of nice to be able to sit at the bar in a quite place.
They have a nice assortment of fresh donuts and would make you breakfast upon request. The waitress was good about refreshing my coffee. The old fashioned was a bit greasy for my taste. It left that weird discomforting grease film in my mouth which wasn't great but what do you expect from a deep fried piece of sugar dough.
Friends have told me not to go here because of cleanliness issues but I did not notice anything alarming. The restroom was actually well maintained. I would stop here again.
For some of us (especially if you sometimes work at night), the 3am meal is far more important than the 3pm brunch. And for "the city that never sleeps" well, let me tell you… that doesn't include the vast majority of our food purveyors. After living in this general vicinity of Brooklyn for many years, I'm still amazed at the dearth of late night food options nearby. Don't believe me? Seriously, just open up that Seamless app after a late night of drinking and see how many options (if any) pop up.
This place delivers (literally and figuratively) diner staples well at a very reasonable price – terrific omelettes, solid club sandwiches, decent burger. At non late-night times, they have an incredibly generous lunch special – soup, entree, coffee or tea and donut for about $10 – it's delightful – great food at a price I haven't seen in this city in years. Sure, I've asked for my french fries well done 4 times and gotten limp, undercooked fries 3 of those times, but, you know… at least they didn't make the lazy diner move of just making home fries – which we all know is an unforgivable cardinal sin.
The place seems clean and the service friendly and efficient (not only because the late night counter guy and I banter about the Mets for 15 minutes while my food is prepared, but that certainly helps). Which brings me to my most important point… they are open 24/7!
So look, I love you Yelp, but don't F this up for me, OK? You know who you are… gazing a down from the 7th Avenue Dount Shop on a sunny afternoon and seeing the gourmet beacon of Talde a mere two blocks from this greasy spoon and turning up your noses and down your thumbs (or your stars). Not every establishment in Brooklyn needs to be a culinary trailblazer – sometimes you don't want a 5 course tasting menu dinner, or a heritage pork & swiss chard benedict brunch. You just want a giant omelette with greasy fries, and a nice, scalding hot (non-sourced) cup of coffee. Or, at least, I do.
So if you sometimes work late at night, or if once in a very rare while you might be the type to stay at a bar until they politely tell you that you have to leave, well… on these occasions, its nice to have some tasty, comforting food options thereafter. Of potentially dubious health benefits, sure, but… when you're up at 4am, health is kind of already out the window. I appreciate this charming institution for what it is, and hope it thrives here long after some of the showier neighborhood options fade.
Super friendly service. Good sized portions for reasonable prices. Food is pretty tasty – love the chorizo hash and the bacon is killer – but the breakfast items tend to be greasy. The donuts are good: not knock your socks off good but a step up from Dunkin Donuts and who wants to support a faceless chain store, anyway. If you could combine this place and Little Purity, you might have the perfect diner.
This place is my all time favorite, idc I was born an raised eating this food. lMAO sad truth.
My uncle should of been part owners of this place as much as they loved him an our family an as much as we where here. I grew up in this diner I even learned how to make my first pot of coffee with Freddy. I would go an work behind the counter an help give out checks to tables an then sit an eat hot chocolate an there amazing marble twist donuts.
Ugh this place brings so much memories to my life as I bring my boys in as well to make Freddy crazy as I did as a kid lol.
There open 24 hours an the food is amazing, very authentic diner food great cheeseburgers deluxe's great breakfast platters an seriously there sausages are so big an juicy an perfect an their donuts are out of this world delicious.
If you haven't been here your missing out.
I stopped in at late night. Got a jelly donut. It was ok, tasted like jelly came from a cheap jar. However, maybr i got the wrong thing. I will say the dough had a good texture and decent taste. Coffee was good.
Their donuts taste like Dunkin Donuts donuts, except their donuts are slightly bigger donuts. Donuts.
Not terrible, but not great either.
I've been coming to this classic neighborhood diner for years, 7th ave donughts is a good spot to get breakfast, lunch or dinner 24 hours a day.
I've mostly came in for their classic diner style American breakfast.
They are one of the many few places in the neighborhood who are open 24 hours a day, which is perfect for late night delivery. In fact they are one of the very few classic diner style joints left in Brooklyn.
They do have pretty good Donuts, for less then $10 you get a whole dozen of freshly baked donuts.
Delivery is Always quick and staff is always friendly.
Can I get eggs over easy with sausage home fries and toast?
