I would definitely be back to try more. Everyone in the area seems to love this place. Also, it was a relaxing place to sit in and enjoy a quick bite.

We were looking for a good breakfast after a night out that wasn't too pricey and stumbled upon…read moreMary's. While they have all the traditional breakfast fare, I was so happy to see it also had a Caribbean twist to it. I couldn't help myself--I had to order rice and beans with pernil (pork shoulder) and a side of sweet plantains. Of course, I wanted some actual breakfast items, so we got the French toast loaded with fruit. We also got both the tres and quatro golpes, which is a traditional Dominican breakfast. Lastly, we got a Caribbean omelet. My rice and pernil was solid. The rice could've used a tad bit more seasoning but when mixed with the side of beans and plantains plus a drizzle of hot sauce it was perfect. They had a variety of sauces--Tabasco (my fave), a Jamaican one that was super spicy, and a mild homemade one. The tres/quatro golpes was also a hearty choice with mangu (mashed plantain), sausage, fried cheese, and eggs. The pickled red onion balanced everything out. The fried cheese is similar to a halloumi but I think it's a bit more flavorful. All the flavors just melt together in your mouth perfectly. The French toast and omelet were good. I'd say the Caribbean items stole the show though. The place has a typical diner vibe and is on the small side. Food was served quickly and service was good. Discount if you pay in cash. I will be coming back to try their Cuban!!

I searched nearby and found this spot just minutes away -- such a great find. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the menu had so many tempting options. I had to try the Cafe de Olla, which came with a churro (how cute is that?!). I've never seen them served together and it was the perfect little treat while I checked emails and waited for my food. Service was quick, and both the server and bartender were super friendly, which always makes a place even better. I can't wait to go back!

I would come back but possibly try something else.

The star is really the pancakes, the eggs and bacon are good but nothing you couldn't get from another cafe or diner. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because it was so expensive!! I know this is NYC but $20 for run of the mill pancakes eggs and bacon from a coffee shop feels kind of insane to me. I remember this the last time I went here for the kimchi fried rice, but it's always a good amount of food but not a generous portion for just slightly too much. Even if they knocked a couple dollars off I'd feel better. Yummy, but I live right nearby and this is one reason I don't find myself stopping by as much as I should.

The waffle wasn't super sweet which was weird but not in a bad way, with the syrup it was still really tasty. The lemonade was not sour but nice and sweet, which I've been having a hard time finding.

Was excited when I saw this new coffee shop in the neighborhood and wanted to give them a try. Went…read moreon a weekday and was able to grab a table easily. The space is a nice size with 4 high chairs at the window and about 7 tables that sit 4 ppl at each. 2 things that didn't sit well with me. The amount of flies and gnats that were flying around in abundance. Annoying. Second, perhaps the cashier/barista wasn't in the best mood because he was awkwardly watching or waiting for me to order but never said anything. Was waiting to see if he would greet me or ask if I had any questions. Not required but it didn't feel welcoming at all. As far as the food and beverage options, they have a variety. I like that they had a special. "A free drip coffee with a purchase of a pastry." That's a great deal. I opted for the chilli cheese palmier. Delicious. The drip coffee was a medium dark roast. It's just ok. Great deal for $6. The cashier initially forgot to take off the coffee but it was all fixed once I alerted him. They get a good amount of foot traffic. Which is awesome. Tons of food options like home made chicken tenders, fish and chips, avocado toast and more.

I ordered the Chopped Cheese on Hero ($10) and a Cajun Fried Chicken Sandwich ($5) from Krispy Krunchy Chicken. They had misheard me at first and gave me my sandwich on a roll, but immediately remade my order on a hero. They were super nice and apologetic about it. The chopped cheese was OK, but wished it was more cheesy though. Plus, the bread was a bit tough to chew. The chicken sandwich was solid as well, but could use more sauce and wished it was crispier, but it has been sitting out. Overall, good spot for on the go and you want something quick. It's not bad, but not that great either.
