BEC

I had the classic…2 eggs on bacon and cheddar embedded brioche, etc. I’m not gonna lie: it was just about the best thing I’ve tasted in a long, long time. I’m still dreaming about it.

This is the kind of place that makes NYC great. One minute you are on 8^th Ave, the next minute you are transported to a quaint country kitchen. BEC has reimagined the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich In such a delicious way! I ordered the Farmhouse which came with spinach, ricotta, fig jam, and pancetta… all set on a perfectly toasted roll. They also have fantastic coffee, salads, chocolate chip cookies and now wine and beer!
Not to be missed. Get in line with the locals.

I finally had the pleasure to stop by and have breakfast here. I had the veggi and substituted goat cheese with ricotta. OMG it was amazing! it looked as good as it tasted. While I was enjoying mine, i heard the same reaction from the couple sitting to my left. As soon as they bit into their sandwiches, the girl moaned !!!
it is pricey but it is not a deli egg sandwich .mine was very satisfying. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The place is very clean and comfortable. I love the bssket light fixtures and the large windows. Many beverage options too including alcohol.
I look forward to returning for an egg and cheese on a brioche.

I ordered a Cobb Salad for dinner, to go. When I got home, I saw that the lettuce was old and rotten, the blue cheese had gone bad, the bacon was slimy, and there was small pieces of egg shell in it. I have to wonder if they made it from the garbage, it was that bad.

Delicious take on the bacon egg and cheese classic sandwich. A little greasy but oh so yummy.

Great sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. The bistec is my favorite. Prices are reasonable.

I was very disappointed in this place! I was looking forward to coming here for awhile. I loved the branding, the concept, and the menu looked amazing. Unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations.
First off, the place is so tiny. There are a bunch of chairs and tables filling the floor space, but there is no room to stand, get up, and order. Either get a larger space or have no-​minimal seating at all. The food just wasn’t good. I got the classic sandwich. It was really overpriced and my sandwich was so tiny. It did not fill me up at all. There was no flavor and the bread they gave me was stale. Hardly any bacon in it as well. It felt like I was eating a mound of stale bread. They also forgot my friends order, we waited about 25 minutes. 25 minutes for a bacon egg and cheese!!! When the food arrived it was cold.
Great concept but fails to deliver.

I came here on a rainy day to grab a quick breakfast sandwich. I’d heard pretty good things and was excited. Breakfast/​brunch is probably my favorite meal (surprise), and I love a good breakfast sandwich.
As I walked in, I was a little surprised by how disorganized the space was. The place is pretty small, which for a café/​breakfast spot, is fine. It didn’t help that the tables were thrown around and chairs were cluttering the space, so I could barely make it to the counter to order. Beyond that, the space itself isn’t too much to write home about.
The menu is appealing. They have a ton of different breakfast sandwich options, and some great vegetarian options also. I had the farmhouse sandwich which was an egg sandwich with honey, ricotta, spinach, and fig jam. The fig/​cheese combination is a little overdone, but I figured it would be great on a sandwich. The sandwich was a mess – the yolk was spilling all over the place and the honey left everything sticky (what did I expect I guess). It tasted fine… it wasn’t like there was a piece of glass or something in it… but it just wasn’t anything I would like to be a part of again.
Maybe some of the other sandwiches are amazing, but based off my single experience, I don’t know how highly I’d recommend this place to friends, particularly given the surrounding options.

I went to BEC craving s breakfast sandwich for dinner & ended up getting the «Spicy Spaniard», which was 2 eggs (not sure if they were supposed to be over easy or medium or hard) w/​manchego, Serrano ham, jalapeños, & tomato compote. In all honesty, it was a yummy sandwich but wasn’t mind blowing. It took a little while to get my sandwich & the couple who came in after me got both their sandwiches before me. It also cost me $ 11, which is a bit steep for a breakfast sandwich alone. I understand that Serrano ham & manchego are imported, but I’ve had less expensive sandwiches w/​almost the same ingredients & had a better flavor profile.
In general, they make a decent sandwich but not the most outstanding thing I’ve ever tasted & it’s a little pricey.

Wow! Not sure how to start this one. But let me begin by saying this has got to be the best bacon/​egg/​cheese I’ve ever had!
Everything about this sandwich was an experience, the fresh brioche bread, imported from Hunts Point, my hometown the Bronx; Il Forno Bakery did an amazing job. Its baked and fluffed to perfection, its not overwhelming at all with the yeast, very light and delicious. The avocado was mashed, great replacement for ketchup or mayo, very healthy option. The smoked bacon and sharp cheddar was so good, I didn’t want the sandwich to end — the egg popped, not over cooked, yolky and delicious. I feel like the bacon also provided a very good salt balance with the rest of the ingredients. The BEC was so good; I couldn’t add anything to it, like hot sauce. Oh yeah, and the fresh OJ was delightful.
The place has a modern + Chelsea industrial feel, very nice to sit in, lots of seating. The lady who ran the counter was very nice, and helpful. Will be coming back soon. Would love to try the BISTEC or Chelsea lo-​cal.

Completely unacceptable! CHICKEN WAS RAW. Worst part is, I had to pay $ 2 extra for the skimpy, undercooked portion of chicken on an already overpriced $ 10 salad!!!
I was so excited to try the broccoli and cauliflower salad ($ 9.50) because I love a non-​traditional salad. The small restaurant was extremely crowded so my friend and I took our order to go. Guy behind the register was very efficient but still nice.
Once we got home, I had a few bites of the salad– it had a nice crunch to it from the shaved broccoli and cauliflower, however, it was drenched in dressing. All was decent until I ate a piece of chicken and realized it was still raw!!! And not just one piece of raw chicken… Every single strip was raw in the middle. I didn’t end up finishing the salad because I was worried the raw chicken had contaminated he entire dish. Next time, open your eyes and look at the chicken before dumping it on a salad.
With so many other spots in Chelsea, I will definitely not be coming back here.

Gourmet bacon egg and cheese sandwiches. Delicious, but nothing beats a BEC from your local deli– made in half the time and costs half the price. The atmosphere of BEC was bright and cheery (just what you need in the morning when you’re grabbing a breakfast sandwich) and the staff was pleasant and friendly.

Their roasted potatoes were surprisingly one of the best (normally $ 3.50 but free via Tattle survey app) potato dishes I’ve had in some time, and the hot sauce was killer.
Super friendly staff, but I worry they lack the differentiator (maybe extending hours beyond 4 to catch the bar scene) to thrive and even survive at their current price point for a classic that can be had elsewhere for far less, especially because places like this almost last solely on the basis of solid press, and their Unilocal rating is mediocre.

I liked the classic a lot. Signature bun has bacon and cheese crumbs on top so yummy. The coleslaw was a nice touch too!

The stretch of 8^th Ave doesn’t have much selection but plenty of mediocre restaurants. BEC is a casual eat-​in or carry out sandwich shop which was perfect for our after gym brunch.
Any eats has named Bacon, Egg and Cheese can’t be bad right? The space bright and opens to the street. The service was friendly. The wide variety of sandwiches are good for everyone and prices are reasonable. I had the Mammoth and my friend opted for the Chelsea Lo-​Cal cause he is so Chelsea boy. Yes, he does live in Chelsea. I figured if need be the gym is only a couple doors down. The sandwich was satisfyingly good. It wasn’t oversized but good amount of taste.
I’m definitely a fan of BEC in moderation of course. Everything is good in moderation.

When I told a friend I wanted to check this place out, she said, «Yeah, it’s worth a visit to see who does it better: Them or the bodega.»
Well, my friends, the answer is… it’s a tie. For $ 8, you can get a sandwich that likely costs $ 2 at your place below the apartment. Sure, the ingredients are higher quality here and the flavors are more fun. But if we’re talking money alone, go with the bodega for a cheaper option.
The reason I am so favorable of this spot, though? The friendly staff. The ample seating space. Multiple beverage options. And a clean bathroom (which you’d never find at your spot on the corner).

A quick, but absolutely delicious breakfast is BEC
Saw it on NBC and ran over to try it out.
Small place, set up quite cute. Staff very friendly. We placed our order at the counter and a few minutes later we were served breakfast sandwiches to die for
I chose The Farmhouse. Eggs, pancetta, ricotta, figs, yummmmmm… Have been back for more!

A place that only serves bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches? So simple yet so brilliant.
I opted for the classic. It surely was a gourmet sandwich, BUT it was still very expensive for the size ($ 8.50)
Delicious when you feel like splurging, but definitely not an everyday endeavor.

So, I know this place has been long-​awaited and there are a lot of fans, even before it opened, however, it’s hard for me to give it 5-​stars as an egg sandwich is still, well, an egg sandwich, and I usually reserve my 5-​stars for places that have blown me away, so I’m fairly selective with that rating… now I guess if the sandwich had pork belly or foie gras or truffles, then I might consider the higher rating, but until then, it’s still an egg sandwich.
I’ll admit that the BEC Classic and the Roadhouse sandwiches were very good, but not exceptionally better than a bacon egg & cheese you’d get at a good diner here in the city. The best part about the sandwich though is the brioche bun, that’s definitely unique, and adds to the sandwich, and the egg is perfectly medium-​cooked, and I like the amount of black pepper they put on the eggs.
I do think, however, that the cheese is a little runny and they go light on the bacon, and I personally like the bacon at most diners (New Venus, Star on 18, Greek Corner, Dish) better as I can request it soft or crispy depending on my mood, and BEC’s bacon is pretty thin in my opinion compared to the others. I know it’s sort of a apples-​to-​oranges comparing BEC to a diner, but it provides a good baseline.
And, it’s fairly pricey ($ 8.50 to $ 11.50, depending on the sandwich) given that you could get an almost comparable bec at one of the mentioned diners for several dollars less, or, you could even walk across the street to Bareburger and get a very good burger with egg on top for $ 12. Once again, not a perfect comparison, but sort of.
The other sandwiches look pretty good (although they use the lesser-​tasty Pugliese or Ciabatta roll, in my opinion). But the real selling point of the place is the ability to get a very good BEC at anytime of the day or night; and that they stay open late (like 4am late) on weekends, so that’ll be a nice change from late-​night pizza after drinking all night.

This place should be an amazing success.
Every other Instagram photo you see these days is of a Bacon, Egg & Cheese, so you will now see them even more frequently, as this place is cranking out just a bunch of different versions of them, and they happen to be incredible.
If you can’t stand the term «bae», you should probably stop following most food accounts now.
Come here before it gets too crowded though (it’s empty right now) and get the classic ($ 8.50) for an incredible rendition on an amazing brioche bun.
