Frommer's Review
Everyone seems to love this well-worn cafe, especially on weekends. The food is good and the atmosphere terrific. The brick-lined interior snakes out back to a little enclosed courtyard -- a lovely place for brunch, and the kids can run wild in the sandpit. There's a blackboard menu with hints of Asia in miso soups and soba noodles, supplementing the offerings of bagels, pancakes, and other breakfast fillers. There's nothing "designery" about the place; it's slightly frayed at the edges, in fact, but it has genuine warmth that is very appealing.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
