   Brunch choices were standard fare. We had to wait 15 minutes even though we arrived on time for our reservation - but that’s brunch in NYC these days! The outdoor garden was covered, pretty well heated on a very cold day. But it was lovely to sit outside in a very sunny spot. Getting our food was a bit slow but the service was friendly and efficient

   One of the best meals we have had in NYC. I had the stew, which was the best stew I have ever had. The fries are seasoned and we’re some of the best fries we have ever had. My granddaughter and daughter-in-law both said their meals were amazing as well. The portions were large, so we were all able to bring home leftovers. We sat outside, which is covered and has heaters. The area was really cute and relaxing. All of the employees were really nice. If I lived in NYC, this would be one of my go-to restaurants. I highly recommend B. Cafe.

    Hostess/Manager was very snippy. Told us “there’s a lot of people waiting for a table” as we were finishing up. Every table around us had people who were there longer than we were! (And we did have a reservation obviously) My husband will now not go back to the B.

    This was my first visit to B.Cafe. When we arrived for our 1 p.m. reservations there was a long line of people waiting to be seated and I thought we would never have our table by 1 p.m. I was wrong. We were seated at exactly 1 o'clock. Service was friendly and prompt. And the food - well - we were all very impressed. It was simply wonderful. Very much look forward to another visit.

    We came for brunch. We have been to Belgium and looked forward to some reminder dishes. It did not disappoint. Beer was at right temp and in its designated brand glass (a true Belgian thing). Frites and Moules marinière were very fresh and well prepared. Sauces for frites could have been a bit more generous but also authentic. Flemish Beef Stew and Croque Madame/Monsieur all excellently prepared. Staff was very attentive and pleasant given busy restaurant. Only knock is physical space as it is very tight and only has one toilette. Had to sit out in back “greenhouse” which was chilly for the day but not uncomfortable. Will definitely return as price, freshness, authenticity, and attention were all excellent!

    The person that made the reservation for me told me that the outdoor space is very sweet and that the table would have a heater. Today was a cold day. We got to the restaurant and were seated in the patio with no heater to be seen. There was one heater by the service station but no heater anywhere close to our table. It was freezing cold and we had a baby with us. Just way too cold

    This was the worst dining experience I’ve had in a very long time. It took over one hour to get our food with zero communication and two parties of 5 even walked out while we were waiting. Our reservation was at 12:30pm, we finally got seated at 12:50pm and our food was served to us at 2:15pm. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

    B. CafeResponded on November 10, 2022Hi Kimberley, I am very sorry to hear about your negative experience at BCafe. We appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. We are currently working on measures that will expedite food delivery to tables of our kitchen. We will strive to do better. I hope you give us another chance at BCafe and come back to us. I can assure you , next time you will have a positive experience. Thank you.

    Absolutely loved the brunch menu and the little garden in the back! Food was delicious but took about 45 minutes to come out. Ambiance was relaxing and enjoyable. Staff was pleasant, but not overly attentive to repeated requests for ice, refilling water, and to clear empty drinks. All that aside - we were not in a rush, in good company and the food was first rate. Would definitely go back!

    We sat outside, which was nice. But the service was really slow, the eggs were cold and very unspectacular, and the line to use the one restroom was literally out the door. There are so many brunch spots on the UES, this one should be skipped all together.

    This restaurant seems a bit lost at its location and can only cater to people who know where to go for good Belgian food and an excellent array of Belgian beers to choose from. Street seating when the weather is warm, a cozy dining salon when it is cool and an enclosed "garden" in the back, all lit up and perky. Ask the helpful waiter if the beer selection intimidates you... he has become a master at it. You can never go wrong with the traditional Moules Mariniere. The soup at the bottom of the pot is another joy. One day, when I can muster up the courage, I will ask them to pour the soup into a mug, so that I can sip it to my heart's delight. Always liked this place. It is part of New York.

    Food and mimosas tasted great, but honestly the service was horrible. Got our first round of mimosas, ordered another and I didn’t notice until the second sip but my glass had lipstick on the opposite rim, and I was not wearing any lipstick…..which was truly so disgusting and especially given COVID & it’s now flu season, but what really got me was that the food also took at least 45 minutes (one croque monsieur, one French toast and a side of fries) and not even my second mimosa wasn’t taken off the bill and barely received an apology

    B. CafeResponded on October 18, 2022Hello! We are sorry to hear about what happened. We take our safety and hygiene matters very seriously . We have heard your complaint and we are shocked that the cutlery and glass wear was in less perfect condition. I can assure you this rarely happens at BCafe and we are sorry you had to experience that. We hope you come back again and give us the chance to serve you better.

    The food was excellent and pretty outdoor dining hut and chic inside but despite not being busy, service for brunch took a very long time. Like 20 minutes to get two bloody marys and then our entrées took a really long time.

    We count ourselves lucky to have B. Cafe as our local hangout. We first came for the wide variety of Belgian beers, then came to love having dinner (the Croque Madame is a favorite) in the covered patio out back with the festive lights — it’s especially fun to sit there during a summer rainstorm, which you can enjoy while staying safe and dry. We just went for brunch for the first time and loved the lighter-than-air Farmer’s Omelette and the vegetable quiche. Service is always friendly and good.
