Seasonal and delish - Edit
I’ve been to this spot twice and love the changing menu. Ingredients are fresh, flavors are unique and beautifully presented. This time we tried the poppyseed waffles, pastrami tofu sandwich, and the mushroom calamari. All very tasty.

Good but not amazing—it all depends on what you order - Edit
Visually, this first outpost of the Butcher’s Daughter is beautiful, which makes sense since the owner is a designer. It’s a tiny space used well, and be prepared to sit at the window counter or a communal table if eating inside—definitely make a reservation if you can. But who cares about stuff like that—it’s all about the food, right?
Read moreSo, the food. It’s spotty. Some items are excellent while others are meh at best.
The excellent:
The menu changes regularly, but if the gnocchi is available when you go, get that. The gnocchi themselves aren’t particularly flavorful, but they are properly cooked, which is no mean feat. The sauce is excellent, with sliced peppers for a bit of a kick and crumbled Impossible sausage. This was the standout dish for us.
Also great was the carrot hummus, and particularly the toast that came with it. They’ll bring you more if you ask for it. Ask for it.
They have a nice selection of cocktails. Truly delicious was the spicy margarita. The sangria smelled exactly (and tasted mostly) like a watermelon Jolly Rancher, so if that’s your thing…. Unfortunately, no interesting (or dark) beer.
The meh:
The salads we tried were just OK, and the pizza was pretty much inedible.
Your experience will depend entirely upon ordering the right items, so come with a large enough group to sample several.
Final thoughts: Boo to the vegan tax! A “plant-based” restaurant shouldn’t charge more to veganize stuff that it doesn’t cost more to veganize. It’s a shame they are not fully vegan, actually, as they are pretty close.
Pros: Some items are great, Nice selection of cocktails , Cool design and great service
Cons: The menu is not consistent , There’s a vegan tax, Too expensive for what it is

Not entirely convinced... - Edit
Lots of choices, but not all recommended...if you're undecided between waffles and French toast, go for the latter!

Nice but crowded - Edit
Just got a coffee here and it was disappointed to see there is a vegan tax. Also, pretty tight seating here. I’d still come back to try an entree though.

Charming vegetarian cafe - Edit
This pleasant, waiter-service cafe with a bunch of outdoor seating (and more limited indoor seating) is especially geared toward vegetarians, though it does have a couple of vegan options. I had a very nice vegan English vegan breakfast here. There is also a small takeout annex for coffee and tea next door.
Read morePros: Many vegetarian options
Cons: More limited vegan options

Delicious food but wish they had more vegan options - Edit
The vegan food we had was delicious! I just wish the whole menu were vegan because it’s already on the small side to begin with! They charged $2 to substitute eggs for tofu scramble to make the country breakfast plate vegan which doesn’t even make sense because aren’t eggs more expensive than tofu these days?? We were also disappointed the French toast wasn’t vegan especially since you can get excellent French toast at so many places in the city (PS Kitchen, Urban Vegan, etc.) so it’s definitely possible. The menu’s reliance on eggs is disappointing. I’m sure they would get more vegan customers if the menu were vegan. That being said, the food was really great.

Great breakfast spot - Edit
Being non-native, it's our impression that breakfast in Manhattan is not particularly common; perhaps this may be most true for vegan/vegetarian spots????? The the B.D. was really nice. The rice flour pancakes with a coconut drizzle were just right. The country breakfast with scrambled tofu, toast, grilled tomato, Beyond Meat sausage and potatoes was nice and filling.
Read morePros: Tasty, Quick and friendly service, Most menu items could be made vegan

Great breakfast - Edit
The country breakfast with tofu scramble was really good and can be made gluten-free. A friend of mine got the surfer's breakfast, also delicious, which comes in a wheat wrap and is not gluten-free.
Read morePros: Gluten-free options, Plenty of choice
Cons: Portions could be bigger

Always a good choice! - Edit
Everything I ever ate there was absolutely great. I’m making sure to bring non vegan or vegetarian there because it is just really good and they also love it. There hot drinks are delicious! And my favorite is the salad with the vegan cheese.

Still fantastic - Edit
The. Pancakes. Did not expect the fluffy crispy almost-gingery fantasticness. I almost cried when I first ate their cashew ricotta this summer, and these pancakes met that bar.
Read moreI do wish more of their menu items could be adjusted for vegans — would love to try the French toast casserole.
The vegan bacon was really excellent as well. Wish they could do a basic mimosa, but even their orange juice gets mixed with interesting things.

Strong brunch vibes - Edit
Their brunch game is pretty good. The country platter breakfast felt well rounded, the coffee is good, and their juice selection is admirable. Plenty of outdoor shaded seating is available.

Perfect for Us! - Edit
So thrilled we found this restaurant. We are a vegan family of 5 and were meeting relatives and friends for dinner who are not vegan. But with only a one night visit in LA we really wanted to try out at least a vegetarian restaurant and our guests were game. I submitted a reservation through their website which only allows for a party of 7 but instructs you to email. I figured that would go nowhere, as emails to "info@" emails often do. But positively surprising I not only received a response I was offered the use of their private patio for our party. It was PERFECT!!! So beautiful. My 92 year old uncle is very hard of hearing so this space allowed him to be more fully engaged in the conversation as opposed to being in the bustling restaurant. The staff was professional, the service attentive and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this spot

A very special way to start my birthday - Edit
My boyfriend and I went here on my 26th birthday and it was not disappointing at the slightest! The staff was so lovely, the food was absolutely delicious and the cafe simply gorgeous!
Read moreWe chose to come here because of all the great reviews and because they served french toast with almond milk! Unfortunately, we arrived later than planned and they were no longer serving breakfast. My boyfriend explained that them that we were leaving NYC in just a couple of days and that we went specifically there on my birthday because of their (so well-rated) "triple berry french toast". The staff kindly said that the cook was out of some of the ingredients for it but that he was going to check what they could do... 10 minutes later and he came back with the most festive french toast! This made my birthday!.
My boyfriend also ordered a vegan BLT sandwich and he said that it was the best he has ever eaten!
We will make sure to come here the next time we visit NYC! :)
Pros: Lovely staff, Great food, Gorgeous space
Cons: Limited seating, Can be crowded
