Joyful all-day bistro with “South African Israeli Jewish grandmother” cooking found across the city

Flirty Factor

Catch us at Jack’s Wife Freda savoring Maya’s Breakfast Bowl for brunch or Bennie’s Chicken Schnitzel for dinner while always surrounded by vibrant energy.

Opened by a couple who fell in love while working together at Balthazar, Dean and Maya have redefined NYC café culture by bringing that easy walk-in European feel. Dean’s grandmother Freda was a wonderful host, and her legacy lives on through the friendly staff who always welcome you with open arms. Whether you go to the shoulder-to-shoulder Soho location channeling Café de Flore or a less crowded outpost, anything you choose from the hand-doodled menu will be deliciously satisfying.
