B. Cafe is a charming neighborhood spot offering "fantastic food" and "authentic Belgian fare" that delights visitors. The "moules frites" are a standout, with an extensive Belgian beer selection complementing the menu. The garden room offers a serene dining experience. While service can be inconsistent, the "lovely outdoor garden" and "friendly staff" make it a worthwhile visit.

    Favorite Sunday brunch! Love the ambiance of the garden especially during holiday season. Excellent service. We spent along time there and no one rushed us out. I would recommend to anyone!❤️

    A cozy spot that gives all diners a taste and drink of Belgium. Great food and great atmosphere with service that is a Bronze Medal. The night my wife and I went along with my friend, B Café was far from busy and the waiter may as well have been on a milk cartoon. IYKYK on that analogy. To be equitable, this was the first time in our visits the service was so glacial.

    Pretty place, and obviously popular. Noise level is awful, even in the garden. I was disappointed in the food, as the place was recommended for the food. The French Toast was dry, and not soaked enough or just not enough egg. The omelette was average. It took a long time to get our starter coffees, and at that time the were not full. Later, it became very bus and I know it was harder for the staff.

    Love this neighborhood place. They are a true gem on the UES and deserve to be frequented regularly. The beer selection is excellent as are the burgers and delectable fries- served Belgian style of course!! The staff is also friendly and attentive.

    Unfortunately we waited 45 minutes for our food, an apology wasn’t issued, and they didn’t do anything to check in on us. Such a bummer. :(I hope it was just an off day.
