Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

B. Cafe offers a delightful dining experience with its "enchanting garden room" and "awesome beer menu." The "mussels and fries are the best," and the waffles are highly praised. Expect "friendly and accommodating" service, but be mindful of occasional slow service. A charming neighborhood gem worth visiting!

The food was very good. My boyfriend loved his appetizer and entree (shellfish both times) and cheesecake. I enjoyed my maple glazed brussels sprouts appetizer and thought that the salmon was pretty good but could have had more taste. The service was excellent. The heated garden looked absolutely delightful, but we opted to sit inside for more warmth. Definitely a positive dining experience!

Quaint and quiet in the front, more spacious and echo-y in the back, I recommend sitting in the smaller front room. Excellent food - the beef stew is enough for two. Pair it with a salad, vegetable or appetizers. Leisurely pace, so give yourself plenty of time. Wide selection of Belgian beers. I'll be going again.

This location is a hidden treasure. The brunch food was superb and very filling! You have to try their chocolate sauce with the pancakes. It's mouthwatering. The ambience was delightful (on the patio). It was so cozy and we got to feel like we were outside without feeling the chill. They are also able to accoodate large parties if you reserve ahead of time. We are definitey going back!

We enjoyed our Valentines Day dinner very much. Starting with the lobster bisque for both of us, then my wife had her favorite the chicken vol-au-vent and I had the special moules frites with a whiite wine / blue cheese sauce (which I liked al lot! and hope they add it to the full time menu). Best of all: their selection of Belgian beers was excellent. I had Westmalle Triple which is difficult to find in NYC. All in all it was a great meal :-)

Another wonderful time at B cafe. Burger was great as are the fries. Can't understand why people stand out in the rain or snow at JG Melon when you can an equally great burger and much much better fries here. Also B Cafe Chicken Vol au Vent is incredible. Great bear selection and reasonable priced wine, Dont get me wrong I love JG Melon's burger and go from time to time....but I won't wait in line. Walk up to 75th street turn right, walk half a block and go down the steps....et voila!. best, CC

What a delightful find! A friend and I chose to try B. Cafe for lunch and an opportunity to catch up. We had a delicious lunch and a relaxing time to spend together. We try the outdoor garden to dine in when the weather warms. We will be back!
