Yes

Incredible. Impossibly good. Next level. Expensive. Exquisite. I’m sure you are already aware of this place and I’m not saying anything new but damn it doesn’t get much better than this. Highly recommend the cinnamon roll and the “maple” breakfast sandwich.

Pros: Some of the best pastries I’ve ever had ever , Big portions for sandwiches

Cons: Definitely expensive

Best place on earth

The flavour profiles and presentation of everything here is amazing. We used to go every weekend, which got dangerous! Prosciutto sandwich, and curry chicken, are legit. Only improvement is coffee isn’t great.

Loved the pastries

Great variety of pastries, done well. The only downside is a bad service.

So so good!!!

We were obsessed with our cinnamon bun, and also the BEC (which we got on focaccia). Next time would maybe ask for the focaccia to be toasted since it was strange to have cold bread on a hot sandwich. We will be back anytime we are in Williamsburg, even after 1pm there was a great pastry selection.

Note: all food served on disposable plates, with disposable cutlery, even for dine in

So Good, Employees Nice

This space is adorable. It’s full of plants and is well-lit and spacious. It is also right next to Beatnic and Monarch if you wanna do the whole Williamsburg food tour. They gave me a few pastries for TooGoodToGo and they were soooo good and flaky. Would def go back. Like legit the flakiest pastries I’ve ever had. And those were the ones that were left over and supposedly stale.

Heavenly pastries

I’m fortunate to have this place near my house. I love going there the first thing in the morning for a fix of freshly baked pastries such as a quiche or a berry tart, to name a few. The staff is very friendly and the vibe is welcoming. Come in the morning for the widest selection of baked goods before they sell out.

Pros: Excellent pastries

Cons: Other food options are somewhat limited , Doesn’t open until 8:30am

Great pastries for a breakfast

The pastries are spectacular. I had my first pop tart ever and I loved it. The danish was very tasty as well. If you want to try them, get there soon in the morning since they sell out quickly!

Delicious pastries and breakfast

I absolutely love this place. The pastries and breakfast are exceptional. My recommendations are the omelette bowl, which was made with just egg and a lot of what seemed to be violife cheese, asparagus and other delicious veggies and any of the croissants esp. the chocolate.

Pros: Beautiful location, great presentation , Kind staff , Incredible French pastries

Cons: A bit pricey , Food comes in to go containers post Covid

Vegan Breakfast

The first vegan croissant I’ve ever loved, delicious pastries and breakfast classics, I do miss some of the cooler options they had when they first opened they’ve simplified the menu and focus more on bakery I think.

Absolutely DELICIOUS!

The food here is beautiful and so good! My husband was convinced the food couldn’t be vegan at first because it tasted spot on. The pastries are all gorgeous looking. Perfect place to bring vegans and non-vegans, the atmosphere is really nice as well.

Got My Day Started...

First breakfast in my week stay in Brooklyn/NYC. Overall decent rendition of biscuits & gravy with Just Egg. Biscuits are a little dry, even with the gravy. Flavor of the gravy had a little nostalgia on what I remember "sausage gravy" taste like. But they do have a LARGE array of pastries if that's your breakfast wheelhouse. 4 ⭐s.

Tasty but tense environment

Terms of endearment has amazing tasty options for us vegans at a short walk from the train. I highly recommend giving them a try.
Problem is I’ve gone a couple times and the manager makes the environment tense.
I went and she first yelled at the poor cashier for taking 5 seconds before she noticed a customer walked in. 5 SECONDS. Then she asked her to turned down the volume of the music ( which wasn’t loud ) and after she didnt because she got distracted with other tasks she yelled accross the restaurant at her “ DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO USE AN IPAD?? I TOLD YOU TO TURN DOWN THE VOLUME”. The girl laughed it off but all of us sitting down were like 😳😳😳….. i guess what im trying to say is. Great to be a customer here for the food but I certainly don’t want to be under that woman’s management ever or leave my headphones at home if I do decide to sit down inside this place again.

Pros: Lots of options both savory and sweet , Has indoor seating, Short walk from train

Cons: Manager was has attitude with staff

Amazing pastries and sandwiches

It's always such a treat to find a good vegan croissant 🤩 their Fig and Prosciutto sandwich is amazing: delicious fig jam, salty prosciutto, and greens on a flakey buttery croissant. I'm totally in love! Plus all of their pastries are divine.

The owners also run Champs and Screamers, so you can trust they know what they're doing with every dish.

Pros: All vegan , Huge pastry selection, Cute atmosphere

Great!

I think they've scaled back the menu because of Covid, but it's still really good. Outdoor seating is always a plus.

Pros: Tasty food, Outdoor seating

I don’t even really like pastries and I can’t wait to come back here

Bring a meat-eater here and give them one of the giant croissants or cinnamon rolls or cookies and I can almost guarantee they won’t even have a clue that it’s vegan. This place is phenomenal for baked goods — but it sells out, especially on weekends, so probably come before noon if you want a full selection!

The sandwiches are fantastic and sizable as well. I had the B.A.L.T. — the bacon was the most like real bacon out of any I’ve ever had. Very impressed with this place all around.

Oh, and the staff is super nice too!

So-So Sausage

I wanted to order breakfast, but unfortunately the kitchen wasn't open yet, so I chose a sausage roll. It was flavorful, but not spicy. I think it would have tasted better if it had been warmed up instead of serving it cold.

Pros: all vegan, lots of baked goods

Cons: kitchen opens later than shop

Breakfast bomb

Stopped here on my last day visiting NYC and got the breakfast bomb which is basically a small stromboli with tofu scramble and soyrizo. It was delicious and I'd definitely get one again.
