  1. OMGAHHH I'm writing this from CC's as I procrastinate over my essay. Well anyway, I'm in NY at a friend's and her internet stopped working on Thanksgiving. We both have essays to complete so we came to CC's. I had the "House" egg wrap which was like the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. It came with 3 scrambled eggs, bacon, mushrooms, and amazing heavenly cheese. I paid $3 to get avocados in it and I could not be happier. The avocados were so fresh and not mushy even wrapped inside. The tortilla was so good to. AMAZING. The wrap before the avocado was JUST $5.95.

    I also ordered a cappuccino (huge!!) and a chocolate chip cookie that's baked fresh daily. The chocolate chip cookie was thick yet crispy, with thick chunks of chocolate. The cappuccino is to die for with an amazing foamy top. The server is the cutest and could not be friendlier! She recommended the cookie flavor and helped us through the menu. I can't wait to come back to try their pork tacos for dinner.

    They started the morning off with some chill reggae tunes and now we're slowly moving towards soul and jazz. Definitely digging the vibe here and could not have asked for a better place to bum off wifi for a few hours while we try to crank out this essay.

  2. I've yet to order here on my own, but I've thoroughly enjoyed the catered lunches they've provided at the school I work for. Oh. My. Goodness. As a vegetarian, I'm accustomed to sad sandwiches, so the wraps and sandwiches CCs provides are a DREEEEEAM! Avocado, alfalfa sprouts, marinated portobello mushrooms, and all those other amazing ingredients that other restaurants rarely invest in. Moreover, their wraps always come accompanied by a refreshing green salad and a divine potato salad (and I don't even LIKE potato salad!).

    I have stepped inside and looked around while a friend was ordering a coffee. It's unbelievably charming inside. It has just enough elegance to it that it can perfectly transition between a cozy lunch spot and a semi-romantic evening eatery.

  3. Fantastic, cute little brunch place that appears to double as a wine bar.

    The setting is very quaint with several tables and bar space available. I saw craft beers and many wine offerings on the menu, all extremely reasonably priced.

    The staff are super friendly and attentive. My boyfriend and I both ordered the egg wraps, which were healthy and filling. They are completely customizable also! CC's also has some "off menu" items such as pancakes and French toast. I was also really happy with my Cafe con Leche. We were informed they make all their pastries in house, which is impressive.

    The best surprise of all is that the cafe had an adorable little dog during our visit! She was such a sweetheart and sat next to our table the whole time. She is very obedient but be aware if you have any allergies.

    Will definitely be back again! A hidden gem.

    // edit:

    Came back a couple days later and got the "Lumberjack" which I highly recommend – your choice of pancakes or French toast with eggs and bacon. Perfect way to start your morning!

    Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free cookie. I am already seriously addicted to their Oatmeal Raisin…

  4. *hidden gem located on a residential street.
    *Must Try: House Egg Wrap. Three Scrambled Eggs, Portobello Mushrooms, Bacon, and Cheese with Whole Wheat Tortilla.
    *very friendly service.

  5. I remember when this place opened I lived right there. And I only went there recently now that I've moved away.

    I never really had the urge to come here…..and I don't have the urge to go back.

    This place is cute, I will give it that. For brunch, if you're looking for something to save you from all the Chinese ness going on this place will do the trick.

    My friend and I both got the egg wraps…I forget which ones.

    It was just….edible to say the best. I really wish I can say something better. I liked the guy who was serving us. He was very patient. However, the place was empty with one other person on a Saturday afternoon peak brunch time so I really hope for him that this place stays open.

    The one thing I can really say is that their latte was "on point" if you will.

    If I drop by, I will definitely take a latte and cookie to go!

    Otherwise, sorry but there's amazing dimsum 2 minutes away :/ honest opinion.

  6. This super tiny cafe is a gem. A co-worker grabbed lunch here and I noticed she came back with a quesadilla. It looked pretty interesting too. So the next day I went over to CC's and got myself a quesadilla. It took awhile to make, I assume this was the case because there were only 2 staff members at this cafe. One person taking orders and one person making the food. I recommend ordering ahead of time and I recommend the curry split pea soup. If you get the the quesadilla ask for a side of potato salad. I wish this place was bigger, I would definitely come back and eat but during hours it gets back so quickly. I definitely grab lunch from here again.

  7. We ordered CCs for delivery off seamless so the restaurant experience may be better. First off, they were late. It happens. Second, we ordered two coffees and they only gave us one. It happens. But it's the food that brought the stars of this review down. We ordered the veggie "burger", which was not a burger at all (or any kind of patty even loosely resembling a burger. It was mushed up avocado and pesto in a bun. Basically, it was a sandwich of delicious condiments. I honestly think that the cook may have forgotten to put the burger in. We also ordered the West Village sandwich, which was decent but basic. It was essentially avocado, some cheese and alfalfa sprouts. We got the potato salad with both sandwiches and it was subpar. The potato chunks were massive so it was very starchy tasting. We had to cut the potatoes up more, add some salt and mustard to make them decent. Perhaps the meat choices are better, which I will never know. And today may have been an off day.

  8. A very cute cafe/restaurant if you're ever in the area and NOT craving Chinese food.  I had skipped lunch earlier that day and could not hold over for dinner.  I ordered a plate of strawberry pancakes (yes breakfast food at 5pm, thank you!) and was pleasantly surprised that the strawberries slices were incorporated INTO the pancake.  Not the fluffiest of pancakes but they will do.

    The highlight of this place is their decor and staff.  The staff are friendly and conversational.  It's a small cafe and the atmosphere is very cozy and home-like.  On display is a Mona Lisa piece off the brick wall.  It's very noticeably made from recycled computer keyboard keys and they had information on hand about the artist Jesse Holt.  I was impressed!
