This restaurant doesn't take reservations, but when we came on a weekend we only had to wait about 15 minutes. They have indoor seating and seating at their back patio. Their brunch deal was great. I got the Mudman sandwich, orange juice, and a coffee all for around $25. The sandwich was toasted and had a nice crunch to the outside and was packed with layers of meat, vegetables, and a delicious garlic aioli. The orange juice was so refreshing and the coffee was good! My favorite were the potatoes. I would literally come back here just to eat the potatoes again. They were so well seasoned, not too salty, and soft with each bite. The potatoes are part of the reason why I'm giving this 5 stars, Service was great, our server was so nice and gave good recommendations on the menu. read more

MUD - Mudman Special Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

MUD is allegedly Timothee Chalamet's favorite coffee spot, but alas, the day I went with my boyfriend and a good friend from college was not the opportunity to meet my all-time favorite celebrity. Next time, I guess... One thing I loved about MUD was that the place also had a natural lit seating area at the very back - perfect for a more intimate and quieter breakfast/brunch setting. Very rarely do I struggle to pick which dish to order, but given how delicious everything on the menu sounded, I was really fighting between a sandwich, pancakes, or **sourdough** French toast. In the end, though, I had an almond milk cappuccino with a 2-egg scramble. Everything tasted great! The sausage and caramelized onions I chose as toppings to my scramble gave the eggs a nice touch of sweetness. The almond milk also blew me away! I love my cappuccinos with a lot of foam, and the barista who prepared my drink made my cap incredibly well. Would definitely come back to MUD the next time I'm back in NYC. It's very reminiscent of Fog City Cafe, one of my favorite cafes closer to my home in Daly City, CA. read more

I just picked a place and got lucky with the quality. Their food represents creative culinary thinking. Their dishes were beyond conventional quality. The employees make the restaurant feel special. This spot offers a comfortable atmosphere. read more

No wait early on a Saturday. Ordered the tacos and French toast. Both were so good. The tacos had a bit of a kick to them and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. Loved that the French toast portion wasn't crazy huge and the fruit was fresh. Great service. read more

A little more crowded this time but the food and service were still just as good as the last! The staff were all super friendly and accommodative, our food came out relatively quickly and I think for brunch in Manhattan its not bad price wise. Ordered: B.A.T 5/5 I enjoyed this one way more than the meal I had last time. It was well made with really nice flavors and the home fries were a nice added touch to have on the side. read more

MUD - Bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Great brunch in the East Village. We went in August and got seated immediately tho the food was a bit of a wait as can sometimes be expected during a pandemic. Didn't order the brunch special, just the food from it (see the photos), the portions hit the spot, and the waitress was extremely nice. Went a second time recently for a to-go drink (grapefruit mimosa). An ordeal to get it: I told the host that I wanted to be outside as I brought a dog; when she finally put 2 and 2 together, she allowed me to sit at one of their outdoor booths only to tell me when she got to me there was no service just for drinks (it's not up to her but there were zero people sitting outside). So when went inside to order, I was standing behind two women getting coffee orders who actually arrived after me. The guy serving was really nice so that made a difference. But there were people coming in wondering where the host was. I think another BIPOC reviewer also pointed out the lack of system by the front door. The bathroom IS the size of a closet: When I "went" in August I wondered whether the party on the other side of the stained glass could hear me "go." read more

I know this city has tons of great brunch spots but MUD will not disappoint! I mean when you get to choose a brunch entree, a beer or mimosa and a drip coffee for 24 bucks, you know it's a bang for the buck. We recommend getting the: 1. Huevos Rancheros 2. Organic eggs cooked as omelette, scrambled or fried with a choice of 2 toppings, toast and mixed greens, home fries or rice & beans. I am coming back! read more

One of my favorite brunch spots in NYC! I've been going here since college and always make an effort to visit when I'm in the city. Great pricing with a chill homey atmosphere! Included in brunch you'll get a plate, along with drip coffee and the choice between a mimosa, beer, or plain OJ. I love their huevos rancheros, usually my go to but all their plates are really good! Service is always nice and usually on the faster side. Be sure to try to plan if you're going on the weekends as it's first come first serve and the wait can add up but it's worth it! read more

The space is attractive. The staff are attentive and fast. The coffee is less like mud, more like dirty puddle water. The scrambled eggs with cheddar and tomato were a soggy prison food looking concoction. Not one I will revisit. It shouldn't be hard to get coffee and eggs right. read more

I ate breakfast at MUD and found it a decent breakfast place. The coffee was the highlight - a good drip coffee which is harder to come by then you think. The place was really cute and the breakfast sandwich was tasty (if a little over priced but heck it's NYC) I'm not sure if I'd go out of my way to eat at MUD but it was a solid option in the are read more

Really great brunch but long waiting times. Our group of 4 decided to come for their brunch special on a Saturday. It was quite a long line since the cafe is pretty small - so be ready to wait 15-30 mins minimum. Once we got seated the interior was very cozy and intimate. We got their brunch special and I ordered the mimosa + mud coffee + huevos rancheros and a plate of pancakes for the table. We were all starving and gobbled up the food very quickly - it was so delicious and they added plenty of toppings on the huevos rancheros. The pancakes were also a table favorite - they were so fluffy and had the perfect amount of sweetness coming from the banana. The syrup was also great quality and not too overpowering with the fruits. The drip coffee was great but I wish they had given us more oat milk for the table. read more

I HIGHLY recommend MUD for brunch -- the French toast, coated with almonds, was delicious! I also really enjoyed the French Breakfast -- scrambled eggs with meat served on a croissant. The mint lemonade is NOT worth getting (it's just lemonade with a twig of mint). I thought the coffee was disappointing but not horrible. Overall recommend for the food and will we back. We waited 15 mins for a table for 2 on a holiday. read more

If you're in need of a good brunch spot this is the place to go! They offer a brunch pre-fix with just enough options but it was very hard to decide as everything sounded so good! If you're into strong coffee or fresh oj I would highly recommend choosing one or both as your beverage. I ordered the buttermilk banana pancakes; perfectly sweet. The service was so quick and the staff was extremely friendly! Even helped me decide what to order! It's definitely snug inside so that's something to keep in mind if you have a large party or strollers. read more

What stands out the most about Mud is the atmosphere. It is very comfortable and charming. We sat in the back and it made me feel like I almost wasn't in NYC (in a good way). The service was fast and friendly. What I ordered: I got the avocado sandwich w home fries. It was filling and tasty. My partner ordered the burrito and it was good, but not as good as the sandwich. A great place for breakfast/brunch! read more

I'm glad I came here once, but I don't feel the need to ever come again. Their coffee IS very tasty (taken black, no sugar), and I thoroughly enjoyed its rich flavor. It was a nice medium roast, with earthy notes and very low acidity. My friend had a B.A.T. sandwich and found the aioli very tasty. They forgot the egg she requested, but that was fine in the end. My everything bagel and cream cheese was not that fresh. They toasted it, which, in my opinion, you never need to do for fresh bagels. It lacked the warmth, fragrance, and springiness of a fresh New York bagel. The cream cheese was fine and cut into a cute triangle, but not anything out of the ordinary. Overall, really good food and coffee for the price, especially in this neighborhood: $6 for a bagel and coffee (NY breakfast), $3.50 for a standalone large mug of delicious coffee, and $14 for a sandwich platter with home fries. The downside is mostly the ambiance, which is the typical stressful, crowded, always-a-line for the bathroom, pressure to get out of the way, and a cacophony of plates and silverware constantly drowning out conversation type ambiance typical of overly popular places. I got yelled at by a disgruntled busser for no good reason, which really threw me off. I probably would've loved this spot if I were a college student. Now that I'm older, I'd rather pay a bit more for a cleaner and quieter environment where I don't have to yell to be heard. Amazing coffee or not! If you do want to venture here, here are some tips for a more pleasant experience: 1. If you want to get to-go, head inside to the counter where there's a touch pay screen and a person ready to take your order. Easy. 2. If you want a seat, wait outside for the host to notice you when they come out, or peek inside to see if you can locate the host. While waiting, try to back as far out of the way as possible. By no means should you try to approach the counter, even if the person behind the counter asks if you have been helped. They are not the host. Seating is first come, first served, back patio, or inside, whichever is available. I don't think you can pick. It's warm in the back, and I think it's nicer anyway since it's dim inside. 3. If you need to go to the restroom, get up earlier than you think, and assume there will be a line. Have fun, and please enjoy the coffee for me! read more

MUD - Front - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

One of my all time favorite places in NYC. We went when we lived there, and now we go whenever visiting the city. No one makes huevos rancheros better. I add cheddar cheese because cheese is life. Their chai latte is to die for, hot or cold. The mimosas are always A+. My husband gets the avocado toast, or a salad. They only lose a star for the spiderwebs in the corner next to our table. The ambience is very bohemian. And the bathroom is smaller than a broom closet. But I'll come for their brunch any day of the week. read more

This location is so cute & hippy. Love the outdoor eating in the back. Looks like a small little coffee shop from the front which it is. But walk all the way through & you'll get to dine in. I had the omelette that you build. I like that they give you a choice of 2 or 3 egg omelette. I also had the green tea, strong & good. The service was quick & easy. read more

Mud has a cute, eclectic vibe. We tried to come here twice but the first time the wait was too long. The second time we were seated right away on their back patio which has greenhouse vibes. Our servers were friendly and really seem to want you to order coffee here. They also have a coffee shop up front for people to grab and go. I went with the Mud Burrito, their breakfast burrito consisting of scrambled eggs, white rice and beans, guacamole and queso fresco. It's served with cowboy chipotle sauce on the side which pumped it up a notch and you'll want to go for the salsa verde as well. I selected their option of adding bacon and it came on the side which didn't do much for me. It would be much better served inside the burrito and it was too much bacon! My friend had the Buttermilk Banana Pancake which was simply beautiful and ginormous. The have some salad and bowl options as well as pressed sandwiches and everything feels pretty healthy. Overall, Mud is a solid down-home breakfast/brunch choice if you're in the area. read more

Tight spot but good foodand coffee. Had a relatively short wait and there were plenty of customers coming in for to-go drinks

So I was looking for a place in the east village as I rarely travel to this area and oh what a wonderful surprise! I noticed on Yelp MUD had so many reviews I had to try it out. My iced Americano was Excellent!! I can tell they start with good coffee. The fresh baked, on property, croissant was calling my name. I knew I had to incorporate that croissant in my order. So I ordered scrambled eggs with avacado on that Amazing croissant Grant, my server, was informed and friendly... pretty easy on the eyes too. He made his recommendations and kindly guided me without being too opinionated. Although he didn't recommend the jam with the sandwich, I thought the jam was delicious. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Old kind of vibe and pretty dim lighting inside. Looking forward to returning. I will definitely recommend this place!! read more

Stopped by MUD after a friend recommended their coffee and I can safely say that they have some of the best coffee I've had in a minute! I got an iced latte with oat milk and I love how nutty the coffee is. Not a huge fan of acidic coffee so their latte hit the sweet spot. The staff were very friendly and we got our coffees very quickly. I'd love to stop by for their bruch in the near future to see if the food is as good as their coffee! read more

This a very quaint and vibey breakfast spot that you can walk right past if you aren't careful, but it is the best breakfast I have to date in East Village. I ordered the omelette with bacon and the eggs tasted farm fresh and the bacon was legit thick cut bacon! It came with house fries which are roasted potatoes but real potatoes and not that frozen non-sense. If you want a solid and fresh breakfast then definitely stop by here. Coffee is solid as well especially the maple latte. read more

I saw MUD recommended on a TikTok and had to come try it with some friends! We came on a Sunday afternoon and waited 20 minutes for a table and got a seat outside! The servers kindly explained the prix fixe menu which came with two drinks and a main dish of choice. We all opted for OJ mimosas and coffee, which came out quickly, but there were plenty of other drink choices, including tea for non-coffee drinkers! There were a good variety of food options for the prix fixe menu, and we ended up choosing the following: Mudman Special Sandwich: I opted for sourdough bread, which was nicely pressed and fresh. The chicken was well seasoned and delicious, and the arugula added a wonderful crunch! I also got home fries with my sandwich, but they were okay - needed more seasoning and a nicer sear on the outside. Huevos Rancheros: Good portion size. It looked wonderful, but needed more seasoning. The white rice and beans were okay. MUD Burrito: My friend said it was pretty good! It was a packed burrito with a great mix of guacamole. She got a good salad on the side as well. read more

Cute spot with good food. Unique atmosphere to the East village. Had the pancakes which were delicious!

HANDS DOWN the BEST chai I've ever had in my life. Truly addicting, I wish I knew how they made it. I'm a huge chai lover and have tried just about every one in the neighborhood and have not come close to anything even remotely comparable. There's always people waiting in line but it goes fast and it is SO worth it, trust me. It's only one size for $5.50 which is a pretty good deal comparatively. Their avocado toast is also delish, love the pumpkin seed toppings. read more

Great atmosphere but very mediocre food. My friend and I shared: Sourdough Almond French Toast (2/5): almond crust was too crunchy and overpowered the rest of the dish, the french toast was thin and bland MUD Burrito (3/5): OK tasting breakfast burrito, none of the fillings were seasoned well or added much flavor, hot sauce on the side was also pretty bland The only highlight of our meal was the drip coffee. read more

After reading the reviews, Hubs and decided to give this place a try. Hubs ordered the chilaquiles, which are nixtamal chips baked with a smoky red sauce, sunny side up egg, sliced avocado, sour cream, lime, cilantro and queso fresco. The chilaquiles only came with one egg, so he ordered a 2nd one for an extra $2. He loved the chilaquiles. I ordered buttermilk banana pancake, which comes with fresh fruit and maple syrup. The fresh fruit were blackberry and strawberries. Note to self, it's pancake not pancakes. I misread the order and was expecting more than one pancake. It was delicious and crispy. The pancake tasted fluffy and not dense. We both ordered coffee and it was pretty good. I ordered milk and sugar, so they steamed the milk for me. When you first walk in, you'll see people lining up to buy coffee. Beyond the counter, there's a dimly lit dining area. If the waiter didn't wave us in, we wouldn't have known. Looks can be deceiving! This place is a hidden gem. Service was friendly and quick. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu! read more

Checked back into MUD to see if it was still as amazing as I remember. It is. Portions are big and worth the price. The ambiance is perfect. My previous five-star review still stands.

Honestly the food carried the experience for us but unfortunately it couldn't make up for the bad service and cramped atmosphere. Sitting extremely close to strangers in a hot back area wasn't ideal but we were disappointed when our server didn't say a single word when taking our order. It made us feel unwelcomed but luckily the food was good. Overall it was an underwhelming experience and we quickly ate our food and left. read more

I enjoyed brunch at mud today, the food was nothing short of delicious. I ordered the make-your-own omelette and it was cooked perfectly. The side of fruit was also good although they inflexibly wouldn't allow fruit as a side. I also ordered hot tea which was brewed perfectly. Unfortunately the service was horrendous. The staff appeared to absolutely hate their jobs and the waitlisting process wasn't great, but the quality of the food and ambience definitely made up for it. read more

super chill coffee/brunch/brews catchup spot. all the staff here are super personable, friendly, and warm. they make you feel at home! i personally love the dirty chai with oatmilk. not bitter because of the espresso at all, tastes super smooth and satisfying. boyfriend loves the iced oat maple latte here. we've been twice in one week after discovering MUD because it's just that spot. can be a small line every now and then but your coffee comes out quick after order, so not a big deal. super cozy inside, got the holiday vibe. haven't tried the food but it looks good! read more

Solid spot for a quick breakfast in the area (there was no wait on a Saturday at noon!), but the food was hit or miss. Their weekend menu is also a tad price-y ($24 for one item + a drink even if you don't want a drink). The buttermilk pancake was good -- it was super thick, fluffy, and a good size. The sourdough french toast was disappointing, though. It was coated in almonds, which made it way too crunchy for my liking and overpowered the french toast. Aside from the food, the place itself is a bit small and cramped but service is great. read more

Horrible service. Non attentive. Waited 2 hours for food... debating if we should have left. Other customers that had been seated after us got their food and drinks first. We waited an entire hour after being seated and had not even received orange juice/coffee in that time we were waiting. Completely ignored and did not care to check in. India never apologized, and frankly does not know how to apologize. An apology would have gone a long way. Needs more customer service training. Food was okay, but after being upset, it sure makes it less enjoyable to eat. read more

Came here for a quick afternoon pick me up and was not disappointed! I ordered the chai tea latte with oat milk and it was soooooo good! It was so rich and flavorful! I felt like it tasted more like a snickerdoodle cookie than a traditional chai tea latte, but I honestly loved that about it! Only negative is that their menu only lists one price (for the larger size) but they have both a large and small size cups. Had I realized it, I probably would have gone with a small because the large was a lot of volume for what I wanted but at least it was delicious. Can't wait to come back for more! read more

My second trip to Mud was meh. We ordered the grilled cheese with avocado and bacon and the tomato soup. The soup was really a pasta-free minestrone. More veggie soup than anything. Our sandwich was missing the bacon and really was a tomato and pickled jalapeño sandwich with a slice of cheese. My previous visit to Mud was great. So I may give it a second chance, but with all the choices in NYC, that may take a minute or 7. ‍ read more

Excellent brunch spot with unique vibes and tasty drinks. Came here one morning and was seated in the nice outdoor patio area in the back. The set-up of this restaurant is eclectic but quite endearing. My party all tried the All-Day Brunch Special - $21.50 for an entree, mimosa/OJ, AND coffee/tea! I tried the mudman sandwich which was tasty - the deli meat was deliciously flavored and the sourdough was particularly crunchy which maintaining an incredibly soft interior with good chewiness. The home fries were decent. The mimosa was appropriately strong, and I opted for the decaf option of the blood orange tea. Service was very attentive. Overall, a nice spot for brunch in the East Village! Will be back to check out the different coffee options that they seem to have a lot of. read more

The wait wasn't too bad but not sure cause part of the party came earlier. The service was attentive but they left to yourself after they brought orders. My only complaint is place was very hot and small. We sat very close to bathroom and they put our seat next to each other which is an awkward setup. Also there was a leak right over our desk which directly drop into us or our food. We got the huevos rancheros and the love salad. The salad was more of a bowl but thre was almost too much going on with it. Ended up being like a mush but initial presentation was nice. Food was okay but nothing amazing. They had a brunch combo which ncluded two drinks and a dish for 23.95 read more
