🇺🇸NYC | A Hidden Brunch Gem That Outshines the Hype 🥞✨

Stumbled upon The Commerce Inn while browsing maps — a charming little white house tucked quietly on a corner. Inside feels warm and old-school, with a lovely low-key vibe. They serve brunch until the afternoon (simple, traditional American/English breakfast style), and switch to a cozy tavern at night. Let me start by saying: I believe brunch doesn’t need to be complicated. What matters is comfort, flavor, and that satisfying, buttery goodness. Many trendy NYC brunch spots left me underwhelmed — overhyped and under-delivered. But here? It just clicked. 🍽️ Farmer’s Breakfast – Choose your egg style (I went for scrambled — silky, creamy, and perfectly seasoned), served with fresh pea purée (sweet and slightly textured), crispy shredded potatoes, and a slice of butter-toasted bread. You can add bacon or sausage. The combination is simple but deeply comforting — fluffy eggs, sweet peas, savory potatoes… just delicious. 🥞 Buttermilk Pancake – Ordered just one (so solo-diner friendly!). Incredibly soft, moist, and tender with a lightly golden edge. It practically melts in your mouth. The maple syrup is quite sweet, but the pancake itself is so good it doesn’t need much. 🍩 Mochi Donuts – A lovely post-meal treat from the kitchen. Chewy, slightly bouncy, not overly oily, rolled in cinnamon sugar with a hint of salt. Perfect with coffee or tea. Service was warm and welcoming, and the bill came to just over $30 — an absolute steal for such a satisfying meal. If you’re tired of flashy brunch spots and just want something honest, comforting, and well-made, this is your place. #TheCommerceInn #HiddenGem #NYCBrunch #ComfortFood #WestVillage #SoloBrunch #PancakeLove #AffordableEats #CozySpot #NYCEats #NoHypeJustGood #FoodHeaven #NYCFoodie
