Breakfast sandwiches featuring pork belly, chorizo, and eggs
"A cool East Village neighborhood spot known for standout breakfast sandos featuring silky, soft-scrambled eggs paired with flavor-packed additions (think meaty mushrooms or braised pork belly in the ‘Pig and Egg’) on soft housemade bread; the in-house pastries — especially the pecan sticky bun — are irresistible, and lines are common, making it a great grab-and-go to enjoy at nearby Tompkins Square Park." - Joy Cho
"From the outside, C&B may look like just another East Village coffee shop, but locals know what’s up. Breakfast sandwiches here come in the form of a housemade roll, stuffed with scrambled eggs, and pork belly. Bring it across the street to Tompkins Square Park with a coffee, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more New York breakfast ritual." - Eater Staff
"What if what is principally visited as a breakfast sandwich place also made its own bread and other baked goods? The result is breakfast nirvana at this small spot that overlooks Tompkins Square Park (get it to-go and sit in the park when weather allows). The chorizo and egg sandwich is one of the more decadent variations on the bacon, egg, and cheese around." - Robert Sietsema
"In addition to delivery and takeout, the owner of C&B in the East Village has been baking bread for anyone in the community who is hungry or unemployed. In order to continue to bake all that bread every day in the cafe, they’re raising money to buy a bread oven. You can check out their campaign and learn more about donating on their GoFundMe page here." - hannah albertine
"There’s nothing quite wrong with this one, it’s just a little boring. The muffin-croissant hybrid seems to live in a liminal dough space—neither crackly enough to be a croissant, nor sweet and crumbly enough to be a muffin—and it doesn’t have enough filling (we tried the Nutella) to justify its existence. Don’t get us wrong, we love C&B. But on future visits to this East Village bakery, we’ll stick to our regular order: the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich." - willa moore
