Little Collins: Your Go-To Spot for Flavorful Brunch in NYC
Reviews
Taking off one star because the male hostess who was seating people was extremely rude when we asked about wait time. All the other staff were lovely and helpful.
While waiting, I ordered a cappuccino. Good amount of kick to start my day. We got seated after maybe 10 minutes? Order my pancakes and my husband ordered the eggs benny.
Pancakes were good, and it didn’t need syrup. I liked that it had toasted hazelnuts! Couldn’t finish all three, so my husband finished the last one. The eggs benny was good too. Hollandaise could be a bit more tangy in taste, but that is just my preference. The potatoes that came with it were Ordered a cup of drip coffee. It was a good end to the meal.
Would come back!
The shakshuka had some nice zing to it, but a bit heavy on the silantro. Same high quality ingredients cooked with care for the other dishes too. Overall, whatever you pick on the menu you’ll be very happy!
The coffee is “chefs kiss”, and the hot chocolate too is not too sweet and just great quality. The wait is probably a bit too long to become my go to takeaway spot but in terms of quality it’s right at the top of my list in NYC.
The service felt a bit rushed and inexperienced. We asked for a table and were given a time to return, but then someone else had been given it and without an ounce of embarrassment were asked to wait 25 mins again. There’s also a lot of movement happening collecting dishes etc for not a lot of output, e.g. they don’t make eye contact etc in the process so it’s hard to ask for things. The waiting staff’s quality felt especially surprising given the contrast when compared to the focussed execution of both the baristas and kitchen staff.
However the service is made up for by a cozy ambience, great soundtrack (and appropriate volume) and comfortable lighting and chatter noise.
Can strongly recommend but hope they can work together on raising the professionalism bar of the waiting staff.
I got the fried chicken sandwich with a salad. It was a very good chicken sandwich, crispy with a lot of flavor, but for the price the portions were really lackluster. The side salad was super sad, just some lettuce with dressing, it could have used some tomato or onions to make it interesting.
Since the place is quite small, you may need to wait a little while for a table.
We ordered pancakes and avocado toast. Pancakes are generous and fluffy. Avocado toast was delicious loved the addition of mint.
Coffee is good, flat white as it should be. Worth a visit.
The only issue was that they didn’t have a few drinks we wanted including the orange juice.
The music was loud but that shouldn’t be a problem if you’re ok with it. Either way it was a good experience. Will go back for sure.
Ordered the French toast with eggs and bacon (there are no sides of eggs so you have to order the two eggs meal with no toast to get eggs) as well as the fried chicken sandwich with truffle fries.
Everything tasted good but the star of the show were the truffle fries!
The French toast was lovely paired with the berry sauce although it had a slightly tart aftertaste.
The fried chicken was well seasoned and even thought looking at it I thought it would be dense and heavy, but it was a very light sandwich!
It’s ridiculously pricey – while the food was good and the service was decent I wouldn’t say it should be that expensive (1 slice of French toast for $22 is kinda insane).
Also note: a biscuit here doesn’t meant the flaky pastry but instead means a cookie or biscuit in the European sense of the word.
