I moved to this busy, smelly (not always in a bad way) city almost exactly a year ago. So you might be thinking that I am not a trustworthy source when it comes to the hidden go-to's of the highly revered nyc, and you're right! I'm probably not! But this girl loves to munch! I make it my mission to find the best snacks out there so in the end, I guess it's just your decision. But just don't be a fool, look at my picture!! How are you not drooling yet?!
I can't take credit for this find, even though my Leo sun & Leo rising attributes (i know) would love to take all the attention of finding this beautiful gem. My boyfriend did and he made friends with the owner and barista so now it's like going to visit old friends every time we go!
Nestled near the Grand St. station in Bushwick, you could very easily walk by this little goldmine. But don't! Get your head out of your phone Rachel and pay attention! They usually have a witty hand-drawn sign outside. Inside you'll be met by the kindest people wanting to get you that biscuit you deserve. So, it's not your classic nyc baconeggandcheese but baby, it GETS BETTER. Who knew? Get ready for this. This is a cheddar & chorizo biscuit with fried eggs, melted cheese, maple glazed Canadian bacon, and a homemade Sriracha aioli. yup. I know, you can leave this site now and just go, I get it! You can taste the love they put into this sammy. The saltiness of the chorizo with the crunch of the warm, buttery, biscuit and the cheese melting into the aioli. Ugh! Perfectly balancing with the sweetness of the bacon. I literally shed a tear when I ate this for the first time. Get this! They also have gluten-free biscuits which taste exactly the same as gluten ones which is total magic??? Gluten-free biscuits are hard to make people!! I probably already convinced you but since you're still here, I'll keep going.
Their coffee is also the best coffee I have had in nyc so far. I am less educated on the beauties of coffee but your girl worked at a coffee shop for years... I know a good cup of coffee, ok? It soft, balanced, and is perfectly rounded in flavor.
Ok, I could keep going but honestly, what are you still doing here?! Run! Don't walk!
Anyway, look at that photo!! Like c'mon!! If a baconeggandcheese could win a Nobel Peace Prize it would be this one. Who wouldn't want to solve world peace (and hunger) with this sammy???
