They say you haven’t done brunch in NYC if you didn’t hit this spot. Well they’re kinda right, it’s the quintessential place for brunch! For me, they have the BEST blueberry pancakes there is! It’s so perfect paired with their famous maple butter. 2nd runner up is their Spanish scramble which is really delicious! It’s got cheese and sausage so good! It’s kinda hard to get a reservation so book ahead. Also reserve some room for the amazing pastries and desserts! I love the milkshake and the blueberry cheesecake was perfection as well! Great service and servers are always pleasant!

Unless you’re getting here right when they open or have reservations, expect to wait. From my experience, the host hasn’t particularly been the friendliest or best at optimizing seating arrangements so it definitely has an affect on how long it’ll take to be seated. Will it be worth it? Well, I’ve been coming here for years and haven’t been deterred by the waiting game. The pancakes are by far the fluffiest and best I’ve ever had. Other breakfast items are nothing out of the ordinary and overpriced, but I would recommend the grilled chicken sandwich if you want a non-breakfast item. If you’re in Dumbo, Brooklyn, I’d opt for the Time Out Market location instead. The pancakes here are of the same quality and they offer their breakfast menu all day.

Made a reservation for 8pm (yay breakfast for dinner) so there wasn’t much of a wait time. Had the blueberry pancakes and chicken & waffles. Pancakes were great (definitely a must try) and the chicken was pretty tasty (wasn’t a huge fan of the waffles). I like that the chicken was a fillet/breast because it’s practical and more enjoyable to eat. Oh and the Mabel butter sauce is where it’s at! Overall had a pleasant experience with good customer service.

Came here for the hype, so I had to order pancakes just because it’s what this place is known for. The special was blueberry pancake, which was pretty good, but nothing extraordinary. However, my boyfriend ordered the omelet that turned out to be very good, very fluffy and flavorful omelette. It serves drinks, which is a plus. My boyfriend ordered blood orange screwdriver and I ordered mimosa, they were both good and reasonably priced. I’d come back to try other food when I can get a reservation. The waitlist is long, definitely make reservation ahead of time.
