Master Critic Review
B Cup Cafe & Eatery
7.8
A counter-friendly cafe that’s strongest when you order breakfast as a structured plate instead of a scattershot pastry run. It’s reliable, unpretentious, and especially good when you want savory breakfast without a full brunch production.
Must-Try Dishes:
Israeli Breakfast, Egg Sandwich, Avocado Sandwich

Insider tip: Choose one plate-style breakfast instead of stacking sandwiches.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability in Alphabet City, especially after 9am. Public transit or walking is easiest.
Dress code: Very casual — jeans, athleisure, or grab-and-go attire fits right in.
Noise level: Low to moderate — you can easily hold a conversation, but it’s an active cafe during peak breakfast hours.
Weekend wait: Not applicable — breakfast and daytime cafe only.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; brief line possible during late-morning rush.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple egg- and vegetable-forward plates and sandwiches.
Vegan options: Limited — a few plant-based options and build-your-own combinations work best.
Gluten-free options: Limited — some plate-style breakfasts can be adapted, but no dedicated gluten-free setup.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual coffee or low-pressure daytime meet than a traditional date — relaxed and unpretentious, but not romantic.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it’s counter-service and walk-in friendly; just arrive earlier on weekends for the smoothest experience.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who eat standard breakfast foods; it’s more practical than playful, with limited space for strollers.
Best For
Better for: Savory, plate-based breakfast that’s fast, affordable, and reliable without brunch theatrics.
Skip if: You want a leisurely sit-down brunch, baked-goods-focused cafe, or a destination-style dining experience.
