Breakfast sandwiches: 2.5/ 5 Proximity to park which is a huge portion of the vibes: 5/5 Overall: 3.5/5
Ok here’s the run down: I went back 3 times to make sure this review was accurate. C&B is known for having “the best breakfast sandwiches in east village” — for $15, I got a delish sourdough bun, egg, cheese and chorizo. The bread was the best part. The egg was good, but like… chorizo was meant to be the whole show, and yes, it was… overpowering. Felt way too thick for me. But maybe I’m not a huge chorizo girl? Nor am I that into meat forward dishes.ok I go back. I get the oyster mushroom version. It’s soggy, not even the bun bread I like, and an even less impressive $15 breakfast sandwich.
Drip coffee was alright.
It’s mostly to go, with ~4 tables outside & out front. The park is AMAZING nearby, but that is more of an endorsement of the park than this establishment.
It’s a vibe on the weekends though. Huge line. People are chatting. Grab a decent coffee and go to the park.
They also have baked goods - I haven’t tried - they are pretty huge in my opinion. Also, they don’t label the ones on display; that would be a nice touch since it’s hard to tell the doughnuts apart, etc.
Overall- not super impressed by the food, but def glad it’s near my favourite park in New York.
Vegetarian options: Don’t get the sandwiches. They have baked goods though

Great food but there was an actual cockroach in my latte and the server was so rude to me on the phone.

I feel right at home, especially when I'm greeted with a FU from Kyle! It makes the mornings so much better!

Chorizo egg sandwich and the cheesesteak on the baguette are great for lunch. Cannot go wrong with any of the baked items of the day. Friendly staff, sometimes have a jazz trio playing on the weekends

Pretentious, expensive, no redeeming qualities.

C&B has the best sandwiches and baked goods in the area. The coffee and teas are also extremely good. The egg sandwiches are the absolute star of the show.
This place supplies all the other coffee shops, that’s how good they are.
Croissants and Koin Aman are my personal favs.
Gets crowded on the weekends so plan ahead. Take your treats to Tompkins for maximum enjoyment.
So good. Espresso donut is so insanely good. Breakfast sandys not too heavy and delish

a review 7 months late—not that anyone in the neighborhood has not heard of C&B quality offerings of freshly baked goods (baked in premises), sandwiches, and brewed drinks. there’s only seating outside. stopped in during from winter frosty maw and that coffee completed the mission of warming up my frozen existence at the time. be prepared for short lines during the morning and days…prepare for slightly longer waits on the weekends. the staff seems easygoing. don’t miss out on casual quality calories when you’re in the ABCs.
Probably the high end best breakfast sandwich I’ve had. The egg, ham and cheese with watercress is really good. The pig and egg is great but very rich.
