Crema's Take

This Lower East Side gem has earned its reputation as a serious breakfast destination, with the legendary pig and egg sandwich—piled high with silky pork belly and fluffy eggs—living up to years of word-of-mouth hype from across the country. The real magic happens in the warmth of the space itself, where genuinely kind staff and a slow-café energy make you want to linger over their carefully sourced specialty coffees and a roster of pastries that look almost too beautiful to eat. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast chasing those fruity, nuanced notes or just seeking a place that feels like a friend's kitchen rather than a transaction, C&B delivers both with equal grace.

The pig and egg is my ideal breakfast sandwich. 2 big pieces of pork belly with fluffy eggs. I just stopped in for the sandwich but the pastries all looked delicious. Staff was friendly. Right across the street from the park so grab a sando and a cup of coffee to sit in the park and enjoy! Will be back soon for sure.

Literally the most lovely woman on earth took my order so 10/10 for vibes based on her smile :) thank you to the woman with dark hair she’s great. The coffee is that fancy fruity coffee that I know is fancy fancy, but I just don’t like it. I’d rather pay less for a less fancy bean and it just be a not floral/fruity bean. But that’s just me. Always a line here. Their focaccia and other pastries look great.

I was told to come here by a barista in Seattle who lived here for a long time/grew up in Long Island. She said this was the best breakfast sandwich in the city and she is right. Great vibes, wonderful folks, and delicious food. I got the plain egg and cheese and it hit the spot.
