After the Carolina Herrera show, Hamid and I (and later Mohib!) decided to go for brunch in the East Village. We were walking up 2nd Ave., and Hamid noticed the low-key Mission Cafe. He says the hole-in-the wall places have less space but more love. Word.
Their menu is a mix of Mexican and American food (for some reason they say it’s Middle Eastern on Yelp.com, but I think that’s because it seemed like everyone working there was…c’mon people! It’s definitely not Middle Eastern food!), with plenty of healthy options. Hamid got the egg croissant and I got the huevos rancheros. OK, but I am a little confused because I could have sworn I had taken pictures of our food. Instead, we took these before and after videos of our meal. Enjoy.
The food tasted healthy but had just enough flavor — it was also unassumingly filling. I did manage to take a shot of Mohib’s veggie omelette!
Not bad really, and good prices. Service was great too. I love brunch.

are you vegan? Just wondering because of your omelet. was this one of the better vegan eateries for brunch or are there better ones?
No I’m not vegan/vegetarian..I think this was just a preference thing. I like Teany in the LES for vegan food!
this is kind of irrelevant to the post but I found out what a ‘hole in the wall’ was last summer when my co-worker was telling me that there were so many Mexican (my fav food) ‘hole in the walls’ Im like wow I cant believe ive never seen one or heard of them, we had this conversation for about 45 minutes before i realized Hole in the wall was not the name of the place rather that it is the name of places like that…knowing that made me understand this post just a little bit more…though id share
Hhahahahhaha Jess, you’re too cute!
wow I serrrrriously LOL’d when Hamid’s croissant just slid off the plate…priceless.
That was so funny!!! And it was just a croissant with egg or something and he’s like ‘it’s just so beautiful’ hahhaha..i love these videos
