This place is ridiculously delicious!!! Tiny shoebox of a space with a line pouring down the block for good reason. Every detail great. Bread is soft, spongy inside, hard crust perfection, and warm.Eggs are creamy, yummy, healthy. Cheese melts, gooey, tasty. Chorizo patty tastes spicy and like straight Mexico in your mouth. Plus coffees to nourishingly slap you awake.C&B is with all the hype. Plus Corbin is the man, tell him hi when you go there

Its already like a tradition to get a medium coffee before going to the office. When I have no time to prepare breakfast, I just order a bowl from here and get a decent variant to make my stomach full. Love your business, guys!

Food, service, staff and vibe was fantastic.

There coffee is really good. The Chorizo egg sandwich is really good too. Although if it was on a bigger piece of bread and bit flatter it would be awesome. It’s almost too big to get into your mouth.

C&B is straight fire.The merguez sausage, egg and cheese sandwich is the best breakfast sandwich Ive had in my life.Great outdoor seating and right next to the park... it is a neighborhood staple. Dont think twice about going.

Decent coffee, but what was really good was the egg sandwich! Simple but really tasty. The live music outside set a really nice ambiance:)

Great and friendly place. A whole experience on a Saturday morning. Wow!

C&B is the best. The chorizo egg sandwich, curry and eggs, cilbir... it’s all phenomenal. This is one of my favorite cozy places to catch up with friends, or grab a breakfast sandwich to eat in Tompkins Square Park.

**Ordered takeout during COVID pandemicService*Woman behind counter had great personalityFood/drink*Pig & egg sandwich (Braised pork belly, scrambled eggs & cheese on roll) - good, but pork belly was little too fatty*Chocolate chip cookie - solid all-around treat of the salted and chewy variety

Great coffee and great breakfast. Nice people too

Egg Sandwich and Pastries are great but most importantly Corbyn helps people find love

Delicious food and great friendly service. I had the egg and cheese sandwich and the house made bread is very authentic and is what makes this place 5 stars to me. Will be going back very soon.

I wish I had a pic of my sandwiches to post but I ate them all.Loved every bite. The bread was so fresh. Highly highly recommend it.Pig & Egg pork belly sandwich. Sausage Egg Cheese: beef Merguez

One of the best breakfast sandwiches in the east village. Line can be long but well worth it!

The Tompkins park go to place for good coffee and breakfast bites. I found this place through Nudge and really liked the recommendation.

Delicious food and wonderful staff. The curry eggs and croissants are my favorite

Love this place. I Used live around the corner and it was my go to breakfast spot

Delicious Food! Hard working staff!

Solid breakfast sandwiches and delicious cappuccino. Sandwich could have slightly lower meat to egg ratio

Nice croissants, with take out to tables outside.

A real chill place with nice vinyl music playing in the background.I only got here a single espresso, but I have to say its one of the best espressos I got here in the city

Small little shack that youd miss if you didnt know it was there! No tables during pandemic times, but such friendly service and even better food. Good coffee, good grub and I left with a smile. (Highly rec the chicken sandwich)

Food is delicious, staff are brilliant. I no longer live near here. probably a good thing for my waistline.

Bijou and busy. Empty when I got there and packed when I left. Good sign as its well used by the locals. Breakfast bowls worth a try.

Consistently the best breakfast sandwich in the East Village

Probably one of my all time favourite meals in New York. I keep trying something different on their menu and nothing disappoints. Great coffee and spectacular food!

It was good just a little pricey.

As a breakfast lover, my biggest concern is how have I NEVER known about this place before! Amazing breakfast sandwiches are here. Look no further. Coming back for sure.

Super nice & Cody discovery for a great coffee and a variety of breakfasts from all over the world 👌🏻

Pretty wonderful! We got the Turkish yogurt dish and the pork belly sandwich, both were great. (Tho if the sandwich bread had been a lil toasted that would have elevated it into a truly godlike experience imo...!) The music was great but a tad loud in the back room and there was a bit of a funky smell, maybe a slight mold problem or maybe Im imagining it. Id definitely come back here again, I wish I lived close by just to get hangover brunch here

Cant say enough good things about Ali & crew. C&B embodies the best of the East Village. Excellent coffee, breakfast sandwiches, but the standout is Alis love for baking. I pickup sourdough once a week (and usually ask for neighborhood recs!)

The pig & egg sandwich is so delicious.

Their pork belly, egg, and cheese does not disappoint. Their Philly cheesesteak is also 🔥

Amazing smooth & aromatic coffee!

Hidden cafe but has some of the best breakfast sandwiches Ive ever had. The Chorizo sandwich is insane, and the coffee is good too. Doing a good take out business during the pandemic as well.

Some good music spinning, a very good dark hot chocolate, friendly staff, cool place.And more importantly the food is awesome guys!I tried the chicken sandwich and the Cilbir bowl.Cilbir bowl is interestingly mixing Turkish yogurt and poshed eggs.The chicken sandwich is my favourite: good balance between lemon juice and avocado, the bread is great and the chicken moist and tasty.

Food was unforgettable, you can see the chef putting is hart on the plate, I feel like im lucky to eat that kind of food

Scrumptious breakfast grub. Sandwich looks too unwieldy to eat but was surprised at how easy it was to handle.

I liked the c and b sandweech

Favorite eatery in East Side

Super nice people and amazing chorizo egg sandos that will change your life

An adorned review on the wall read “the kind of coffee shop you wish you had in your neighborhood..”, was absolutely correct. The chef is Turkish, giving this breakfast cafe a unique flair of its own. Not many breakfast places can you find lamb, Turkish style eggs, classic sandwiches and a variety of pastries on the same menu. Great try 👌🏼

Very friendly service, line takes a while on weekends due to influx of mobile orders. Sandwiches are pricey for the size but the quality is very good. Coffee is fantastic

Pork sandwich is on another level of incredible also best cookies ever hands down no contest

Good.

Fresh and delicious

Incredibly good coffee and breakfast offerings. I had a bowl of poached eggs on green curry. That was extremely delicious. Cool vinyl music too!

I’m a Viking who’s lived in NYC for 10+ years, throughout which NY burgers have been a religion for me. C&B is now my favorite NYC burger spot🙏🏽

Amazing. Very cool little cozy spot. Egg sandwhich was amazing along with the home fries. My gosh i never had home fries like that. Hint of some spiciness was amazing.

Insane breakfast sandwiches. They are amazing. And very filling

Great sandwiches…

Unique breakfasts, good coffee.

Sooooo delicious. Everything here is amazing, food is so creative, and flavorful. As said by another reviewer, I love that you can get a turkish breakfast as well as a muffin or a sausage egg and cheese. They have a great variety of food all day. And the coffee is delicious!!

Best egg and chorizo sandwich ever. Sour dough loaf to die for♥️♥️♥️

Incredible food, great casual atmosphere. The food for dinner is similar to what you would get at an upscale French restaurant in midtown: high cuisine, creative, super fresh. Breakfast and brunch is just out of this world. And everything is sourced fresh from farmers markets or made the same morning you eat it: sausage patties, bread, etc., all made right there. One of the neighborhoods best restaurants.

My favourite cafe in the city. A must-visit for any foodie.Get one of the breakfast sandwiches, you will not be disappointed

Employees are super nice, owner is there all the time and bakes his OWN ROLLS, which are probably the best in the city. the breakfast sandwiches are heavenly, if not on the heavy side-- great for mornings when you need a fluffy, buttery helping of scrambled eggs with a soft yet hearty slice of pork (pig and egg sandwich, 10/10 recommended). you will not be disappointed.

Food is unbelievable and, while simple, has incredible depth. Everything at C&B is perfect. The music, the staff, the art, the smells..I love it all. And those POTATOES I mean cmon. Im not a regular church goer so the chicken & eggs is the closest thing I get to a religious experience. I love this place.

Very good, surprisingly diverse food options. only problem is its very small. not a problem though if youre taking out or there at a less crowded time of day

Phenomenal breakfast sandwiches albeit a smidge pricey

Small coffee place with excellent food and nice owners. Great place for breakfast or brunch. Fresh ingredients and everything prepared attentively.

The best

The only scrambled eggs I can fully endorse in the east village. Inviting dining nook tucked away within the leafier confines of 7th streets quiet stretch of Tompkins square. Admirable range of vinyl if youre feeling selective.

Amazing breakfast sandwiches. I will return for this elusive burger that everyone raves about. I know people say its a coffee shop, I think its a sandwich shop with really good coffee. Just take my money!

Best place in New York! Food is made from scratch with the best ingredients available, and service is amazing. If you want to enjoy delicious home-cooking-style food with a luxurious touch in an authentic and local east village cafe. C & B is your spot.

Just come here and stop thinking about it. Lovely spot with great food. Best of the East Village.

Superb. Well seasoned, perfectly cooked, fresh ingredients. Prices are totally reasonable.Best addition to the neighborhood in years!Edit: They improved the seating, which is now very nice.

This is the best spot in Manhattan for brunch. What is the grilled cheese with spicy chorizo sausage tell them you want a spicy grilled cheese. Everything is Heavenly

Good little cafe off Tompkins Park. Nice mellow tunes and a good space for working on a laptop or reading. Good coffee. Kitchen is not always open, so you cant get food all the time.

Had a “closed” sign on the door when they close at 10pm. Be honest with your hours. No need for this BS

This is the best place in the world (ok - maybe Manhattan). Food is incredible. Having tried almost everything, my favorites are the curry & egg bowl, the chicken + lemon + avocado sandwich, and the pig sandwich. Everything else comes as an extremely close second. Folks usually get in and out within 45 mins - 1 hr, but space is still tight. Its just a great to get the food and enjoy in Tompkins Square Park right across the street.

They have an amazing selection and probably the best pork belly and egg sandwich (pig and egg on the menu) in the area. I honestly get it every Saturday morning and love it!

A great little cafe in the neighborhood. Love their breakfast items. Turkish egg dish is amazing!

A coffee shop that makes a quality cappuccino. The proportions are what they actually should be. The space is small, so if you want to stop in and work on your computer, you may want to have a backup in mind. The staff is always friendly.

Excellent coffee and amazing Sandwiches! The sausage egg and cheese and chicken sandwich are some next level stuff! 😍

Pork belly sandwich is unreal.

Super tasty cozy little alphabet city spot. Stumbled across C&B and tried the lablabi - unreal, great vegetarian option with amazing flavors. I have tried the chicken and egg bowl as well and it was delicious. Coffee looks great but have yet to try it. Fresh indgidients over all and friendly staff!

Great breakfast sandwiches. Good coffee. Little to no wait at peak hours. A bit on the expensive side ($8-10 for a sandwich). Sitting space is limited, but the park is nearby.

This place is awesome. There is some seating but really good atmosphere and its by a park. Food was amazing, service was awesome and the food was so good and very good price. Be back for sure!!!

The best egg sandwiches and egg bowls in the city. The way they cook their eggs are amazing - soft, fluffy, and buttery. Mmmm...

NEVER GO TO C&B CAFE!!!!!! This was absolutely the WORST dining experience I have ever had. I was treated terribly by the staff and especially by the owner. The food was disgusting and completely overrated. I asked the owner to add a small amount of rice to the pork belly bowl, which he agreed to do. Following my meal, I went to pay for the added rice and was charged me $10 for a scoop of rice!!!! The cashier explained this was the cost of a substitution. This action was clearly done out of pure spite, because I asked the chef for a side of rice. The meal itself tasted like dirt and was not worth it. However, the treatment by the staff was what made the experience especially horrific. The owner followed me out of the shop and berated me on the street for having asked for a substitution. As a young woman, being chased and yelled at by an older man, I felt scared and threatened by his incredibly aggressive behavior. His business model, treating customers with hate and disdain because they make a simple request is unacceptable. He claimed to be a chef, but I can most certainly say the food lacked creativity and quality. Overall, this was an awful experience, and I hope no one else has to go through what I did. Please save yourself from eating any of the awful meals they serve here and being treated as less than a person in the process!!!

Best eggs in the neighborhood. Great coffee as well. Very chill vibe.

As a gym owner I eat healthy and still have their amazing burgers on my plate at least 3x a week👍👍

Chicken and eggs is savory goodness in a bowl. Good coffee too.

Breakfast curry bowl was extremely satisfying. Wonderful coffee as well. Fantastic beginning to my NY trip.

Pork belly and merguez sausage are both winners.

The lamb in eggplant is unreal. As is the home made sausage and chorizo. So good.

Good coffee. Friendly service.

Best chorizo sandwich ever.

Great cappuccino and house made sausage.

The curry bowl is fantastic. Warm, well rounded flavors make for a comforting breakfast 💯 Great with a dirty chai too.

Amazing surprise- excellent coffee and the chicken and eggs 👌🏼

I truly love this place. The egg, yogurt and chili butter dish is something I want every morning.

Anyone would hope and pray to have a cafe with coffee this good, food this interesting and staff this nice in their neighborhood

This place will warm your heart and stomach at the same time. A future classic. An East Village/NYC staple to its core.

My favorite coffee place in NYC. Its part of my Sunday routine to get one of their great coffees.

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. Scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly.

Had the pork belly egg sandwich. Awesome. And Im very picky about macitas. Def recommend. Good cortado too.

2nd time here...I just don’t get the high ratings. It’s slow and disorganized. Orders come out and are delivered seemingly to whomever is closest to the food counter. It’s hard to watch people who ordered the same thing you ordered 5min after you walk away 5min before you do. Seemed to maybe be an issue with their order ticket system.My friend thinks that it’s generally better organized when one of the main guys/owners are there. But when I made an inquiry (after watching my sandwich walk away) the staff made an excuse that “the chicken takes a long time to make” rather than just apologize for the wait and the mistake. Despite it being the closest place to eat to our place (ties with Gruppo), we won’t be back.

This place plays the best music
