Chock full o’Nuts Coffee Shop

I love this place! The people are very sweet. Monday — Friday! A definite place to stop in.

I have mixed feelings about this place and so far I’ve been for breakfast three times (I think they opened about a month or two ago). The first time I went I had the most AMAZING pancakes — they were clearly freshly made, steaming hot, perfectly fluffy and absolutely delicious. The second time I ordered the exact same pancakes (having fantasized about them all week and looking forward to devouring them) but this time they were pre-​cooked, (barely) reheated, dry, dense and completely disappointing. I have also ordered the veggie omelet which was pretty good. Oddly, their coffee, which was apparently their claim to fame back in the days, is horrendous. The service was very slow the first couple of times but quicker the last time I went (maybe they’re still figuring things out…) but I have to say that the staff is very sweet and friendly. I think this place has potential for good breakfast in Bay Ridge if they focus on being consistent and don’t precook their food but when you don’t know what to expect, you hesitate to return.
