As an avid diner fan, I usually find myself at Bill's Restaurant next door, but their hours can be a little tough sometimes. That's actually how I ended up trying C & B Luncheonette, and I was so pleasantly surprised. I definitely wasn't expecting an American diner / dim sum / Asian fusion experience, but it works really well. I had the scallion pancake with egg and cheese, which was awesome. Crispy, flavorful, and something a little different from your standard diner breakfast. My date had the American-style pancakes and those were amazing too. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the whole place had a really welcoming vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be back, especially when the weather warms up so we can check out their back patio. read more

Friendly and delicious. The menu is delicious and good variety. Get the Vietnamese coffee!

I'm a newbie to this spot but I've been coming in for coffees and rarely would I write a 5 star review over a dollar cup of coffee but the warm welcome quick service and obvious care for regulars and attention to customer service deserved a nod from me I'll be back for a chicken katsu sando soon read more

Food was great and the staff was super friendly. Breakfast is great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice back area to eat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

My go-to for BECs. Try the scallion pancake bfast sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute backyard and super nice owners![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice place good food and love the backyard[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but opening times need to be adjusted. I've come by twice already where the store is closed but website and maps show it's open. To go out of my way to visit is kind of annoying when it's closed but says open. read more

One of my closest friends lives in Ridgewood and whenever I visit, I end up stopping by C&B Luncheonette for some delicious and reasonably prices grub. The owners Cindy and Ben are pretty awesome people. I'm not a regular by any means but Cindy always recognizes my voice when I call in and even knows my order by heart, which is a BLT with an over-easy egg on top as well as a large iced-coffee with a little bit of ice. In fact, this past weekend when I was in the area and called in to make an order, Cindy asked me if I wanted to add my usual ice-coffee as I was about to hang up. I glad she did because I indeed forgot (woke up exhausted and indeed needed that coffee!). They have some amazing memorabilia from the 50's to the 2000's hanging on the walls and all throughout their store. I even saw a Duke Nukem video game for sales at the counter. Parking is limited in this area but you can usually find one on an adjacent side street or across the road by the gas station. If you're a local and biking, they have a bike rack directly in front. I felt very safe picking up my food here as they have a very conveniently placed take-out window, so you don't even need to enter. Cindy and Ben, thank you for your warmth, kindness, delicious food and your positivity. read more

The Scallion Pancakes Are Amazing !! I Definitely Recommend Them 1000% !! I Order Them All the Time !

The egg bacon and cheese on a croissant for seven dollars. Good food, but expensive. The owner seem friendly and knew all his customers

Amazing!!! Food is so good, service is even better. Small family owned business and they make sure to take care of all their regulars, very well known in the neighborhood. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also have a cute outdoor space as where you can eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love this place and the people!!! read more

Yummy breakfast joint. Friendly owner ! Customer service really goes a long way with reviews. I prefer this place for takeout, but to each it's own. read more

It doesn't look like they are open for dine in but you can call and make a reservation and they will seat you in the back patio. They are also doing Togo orders during these COVID times. The owner is very friendly and attentive and the prices are reasonable. read more

C&B Luncheonette - Back Patio - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Sweetest lady runs the place.... cheap good food.... patio out back for vibes..... what more is there to say?

This restaurant always hits the spot when I am in the mood for breakfast. I usually get the Joshua sandwich, bacon, egg, cheese, and breakfast potatoes. They have been around for decades, and have always been the same. The owners work the business and love their customers. read more

Food is amazing and so are the workers. Been going to this place for years. Absolutely great food you will not be disappointed. read more

My boyfriend just moved in the area and we were looking for a place to grab breakfast from when I stumbled upon this place 10 minutes away from us. The other reviewers were not lying when they talked about the hospitality here, the lady who took care of us was genuinely the sweetest! The food was delicious. It was exactly what we were looking for on a lazy Saturday morning where we wanted something homey and no frills. I got the 2 eggs with corned beef hash and hash brown which came with coffee or tea and juice. Will definitely come back whenever we can! read more

Friendly staff in an unpretentious classic neighborhood spot. Good food in generous portions for the right price. Lots of menu options. Nice ambiance read more

This is our first time in New York, so we are glad we found this little hole in the wall as we were wandering around our airbnb trying to find food. First off the people who run this little place are incredibly nice. And the service was so quick! My friend and I both ordered their French toast breakfast plate and wow, the food was amazing. It was like freshly home made breakfast. And the amount of food you get for the price is awesome. Their coffee was good and the orange juice was out of those Tropicana boxes but for the price and the restaurant being run out of what looks like their home, I'm completely satisfied. Their French toast is to die for, by the way. We're coming back for sure for lunch before we leave new york. read more

C&B Luncheonette - Would've taken a photo of the entire plate but we were hungry and it looks amazing. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Great little spot! Came here because of the other reviews, and it did not disappoint! I went with the deluxe breakfast and there was so much good, and for only $12 it was amazing!!! The potatoes weren't as crispy as I'd like but if that's my only complaint it's a pretty great spot! Not many tables but i went around 10ish AM and there were two other people there! All in all, great read more

They easily get a 5 star for their service and hospitality which you don't see that very often in New York. The prices for their meals were also pretty reasonable. I enjoyed my experience here. read more

It's just ok, I've been to 5 star restaurants that blew my mind and this wasn't even close, so I don't understand how this place gets 5 stars. Been here 4 times got a egg and cheese breakfast wrap with avacado, it was $8.75 for a solid but basic sandwich and I had to wait for about 25 miniutes all 4 times. Isn't the point of a diner to be somewhat fast? My boyfriend came here and waited, seriously, 45 minutes for a breakfast sandwich! The bodego on Irving and knickerbocker, 2 blocks away, I can get the same quality sandwich for $6 in 7 minutes. I've given this place a chance, not worth the effort, I give up. read more

Brought our 2 dogs in because we saw there was a back patio in the Yelp pictures, and the servers were more than welcoming! It was hard for us to find a dog friendly place in Brooklyn. Great breakfast sandwich and an awesome back yard set up. Fully inclosed with grass and they even let us take our dogs off the leash to roam around. It was like we were eating in our own backyard. Thank you so much! read more

Well well well. Who knew that this place would be a great decent breakfast spot. From the outside not too much but we entered and were asked if we wanted to sit in the back patio.. it was a sunny day so we did. Cozy. I mean not like anything fancy just cozy. We ordered the bananas pancakes. Scrambled eggs bacon with French fries some opted for the home fries but it was good. Even though nothing came out together we eventually we ate at the same time. Was good really no complaint taste wise. The ppl there were very friendly. 30 plus years in business. And they rent the space. 3 hours for 150. Plus an extra hour byob bring your own everything is kinda cool... read more

Great Place, Owned By a nice Couple, They have been their for over 30 Years, Cheese Steak Sandwich is off the Charts, Amazing, Better then Pat's and Gino's Famous Cheese Steak Sandwiches in Philly PA. Hamburgers are Boars Head, Thick Meaty Juicy Burgers as well. All of their Sandwiches are made with Boars Head Meat's. Great Coffee and Great Home Made Breakfast, They make you feel like your eating at a friends place and not a place of business, That's hard to find in NYC. Also make sure you visit their back yard , you can eat out in the back yard and Rent it as well for any event. read more

I love this place! One of the owners,Cindy, will always greet you with a smile, remember your name and past orders and even offer suggestions. she is super sweet. THE FOOD is also really good. They tailor the coffee/tea/food to however you prefer. In the mornings this is a trucker and commuter favorite. I recommend the burgers (which are big), coffee,tea, and breakfast sandwiches and pancakes. I like coming here in the mornings and know anyone else will too. read more

This is a really nice stop for when grabbing a quick bite or for brunch to get you back on the road. The ladies here will welcome you with a big smile and they're brunch is really good. They will offer the patio so you will feel comfortable and home style like. Btw it's 2 steps from the Halsey subway station. read more

Don't be fooled by the small store front- food is delicious and their backyard seating is gorgeous. Come for breakfast or lunch on a nice day and definitely sit outside. I had the chicken cheesesteak style hero sandwich with peppers, onions and American cheese and my friend had wings and fries. Everything was 5 stars and the friendliest service. Will definitely be back!! read more

Stopped by on the way to the Metro to grab a bite, the reviews were good but their food was even better. I had the corned beef hash with home style potatoes and 2 eggs over easy. The price was even better, $7.50 for everything! I'm a fan and will be back anytime I am in Brooklyn. read more

Came in for some breakfast for the first time here and sat outside. The staff was friendly and the food was great! Prices not bad either. We could have sat inside but we opted for eating outside and enjoyed our food out back where they have tables set up. I recommend this place. read more

C&B Luncheonette - The wall out outside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

A Bushwick gem. Owners are very sweet people. Breakfast is cheap and delicious. Bacon is always crispy and pancakes are amazing. Small seating space inside and a nice backyard outside. read more

I love this place so much. The two people that are always working there are so unbelievably kind and hardworking. They will without a doubt make you feel like you're at grandma's house on a Sunday. I'm not even sure of their names but they always put a smile on my face. They're also very good about wearing masks, providing hand sanitizer, cleaning up, etc. Their back patio feels like home, and their food is always on point. Give them some love!!! read more

We went here every morning from our airbnb to have our breakfast, with coffee, tea and cheese/potatos/ham/egg "on a roll", which comes close to a european/german usual bun (as closest you can get in the US ;). Its delicious and low priced... and the asian couple is very sweet. read more

This place is really really really good. But the best part to me: the people. They are so kind... They take care of your order like a Queen/King! read more

Since they opened their back yard, i've been frequenting this place more. This place is quality. Its clean and much more pleasant to be in than the next door restaurant Bill's to have breakfast or lunch. The service is immaculate and the food is really well prepared. Their home fries are amazing and my favorite part is that they have sirracha on each table. Its my neighborhood gem. read more

This is one of the rare restaurants that puts care into what they serve and give the customer. If you want some good French toast this is the place to go to. Ben makes the best French toast in the city, and if you want whole wheat French toast he also can make that for you and it's delicious. Cindy is always welcoming, they know they're regular customers even those that come in once a while like me when I'm in the area. Cindy and Ben you guys rock! read more

I found this spot while searching for a "nearby breakfast restaurant." While I really enjoyed my experience, it's definitely not a restaurant. Fantastic bodega though! read more

I'm giving this location 5 stars because of their bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches. Hands down, the best!! The bacon is perfectly cooked, the cheese is appropriate and the eggs and fluffy and tasty. read more
