LIC Market
“The "bullseye eggs" are also a great choice if you are brunching and want a tasty mix of sweet and savory.”
“I ordered the Cobb salad, and a friend ordered the slow cooked pork with a side of braised green lentils.”
“I usually wouldn't order something like risotto for brunch but this dish was on the specials menu and I couldn't resist.”

Hidden Gem in Long Island City
Had brunch here on a weekend with the young lady and friends. Tried the Duck Hash $14 and Chorizo Onion & Eggs $13. Both dishes were creative, delicious, and just perfect.
They have inside and outside seating, full bar, tasty coffee, and super nice and friendly staff.
Will be back again.
I cannot wait to return! Brunch was great. There was no wait, but there's a small bar just in case. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free sensitive.
Brunch: the ricotta and arugula salad was light and satisfying with toasted pignoli nuts and golden raisins. The frittatas are large, fluffy, and cheesy. Tip- share one of these and a sweet dish. The stewed lentils were slightly bland, but the house made green hot sauce added much needed depth of flavor and heat.
We came here last year in the winter for breakfast and sat outside in their heated patio, awesome experience. Food was great, server was friendly, patio was really cool (and warm). We've since moved to LIC and came here for the first time as locals. We brought our small dachshund on a weekday and they would not serve as outside in the front or in the back with him with us. I guess I can understand but in such a dog populated city you think that they'd be more open to a small pup on the patio. In either case the people were pretty friendly about it and we ordered take-out. We got a salad and a BLT. Food came out really quick and was very reasonably priced. Both were solid. I'd recommend the breakfast over lunch so we will definitely be back again for that (without the pup).
Been wanting to come here for a while but never had the chance.. Finally came here on Sunday for brunch and there was a line out the door but went by pretty fast.. Only waited about 15-20 minutes.. well worth the wait. Ordered an ice coffee and a BLT sandwich that comes with bacon, lettuce, avocado, tomato and chipotle sauce.. It was definitely one of the best BLT sandwiches I've had and very light.. My gf ordered the burger which looked amazing.. I'll definitely be trying that next time.
LIC Market is a cute and trendy restaurant near Court Square stop in Long Island City. The E/M trains take you right next to the restaurant or walk 3 minutes from the G/7 trains. It has a small backyard with four to five tables if you want to side outside and enjoy the weather.
We came for a quick lunch. LIC Market is great for a casual and relaxed meal. It caters to tourists and those who can linger for lunch. (Note: Not recommended for nearby office workers looking for a quick lunch). It's a narrow restaurant, and the noise travels, so it can get loud when it's busy.
I ordered the soup of the day – tomato soup and a side of broccolini (with bacon, onions and figs). I asked for the broccolini without the bacon and they easily accommodated. The tomato soup is tangy and creamy from the dollop of ricotta. It was much bigger than expected and came in a big and slightly shallow bowl with a piece of bread. The broccolini is sauteed so pretty heavily dosed in oil. The figs were a sweet touch.
I really enjoyed my meal here and will be back for lunch soon!
Got here around brunch.
Gorgeous interior. Very rustic. They have outdoor seating and indoor seating. It's pretty tight inside.
The coffee was good. strong.
They serve a complimentary pastry dish. It has carrot cake? and a chocolate croissant type pastry. Both were excellent.
We got the daily lunch special: chorizo onions and egg. I liked the chorizo. Very good.
Bullseye eggs: I've never seen this before, it was kind of cool. The yolk, I expected it to be runny, but it was a bit gelatinous and on the drier side. But, I did like it. I looked cooler than it tasted.
I liked the overall presentation of the sit down area, the staff was really nice, and the food was good.
I'd go back.
came here for brunch before and breakfast recently, this is more of a 3 1/2 star kinda joint.
for brunch, we tried the market burger (ok) and dirty rice fritata. the fritata had too much chicken gizzards (i'm not too big on innards) and tasted eerily similar to the chinese fried rice that we eat at home. lol. that was interesting.
for breakfast, we were prolly the first customers that day (no wait and all that space to ourselves!) and tried the following:
-pistachio chocolate escargot: we were so curious and just had to ask, luckily, there were no escargot involved in the making of this buttery and flaky, pinwheel-like pastry. lol.
-ham & gruyere croissant: looks quite good, my dining companion liked it.
-ham & egg breakfast sandwich: an interesting take using sliced soft-boiled eggs, instead of commonly-used fried eggs. it also had tomato and aioli on it, really good flavor combo and i thoroughly enjoyed it. the portion was just right too, it felt light and satisfying but not overwhelmed.
-latte: rich and robust, it was a decent cup of joe. my dining companion tried the cafe au lait and thought it was ok too.
all in all, i liked the vibe (rustic chic? lol) and the food, always nicely executed and well balanced. the service was attentive, but not intrusive. not a bad choice at all.
Very cute brunch place by Court Square. Love the back patio, generous portions full of flavor and farm-to-table vibe. Service is friendly and fast, prices are moderate. Specials change everyday and keep the menu creative. Baked goods are decadent (and run out fast!). A must-try in the neighborhood.
