Breakfast by Salt's Cure is a cozy West Village spot where the star attraction is their oatmeal griddle cakes—cooked to crispy perfection, no syrup needed.
"Before it makes your morning, this breakfast-only LA transplant will do its best to ruin it. Show up at 10am on a Saturday, and you’ll find at least 30 people waiting on the sidewalk. The line moves quicker than you expect, but it still feels excessive for a place that excels at just one thing: gooey griddle cakes. Either wait 40 minutes, or come on a weekday." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"This all-day cafe in the West Village is an import from LA known for its oatmeal griddle cakes, which are pre-sweetened and served without syrup, and also its long lines on the weekends. The griddle cakes come in varieties like blueberry, banana nut, and chocolate chip, and they're thin and slightly crispy, with a very moist consistency. We're fans. The whole menu leans heavy, with savory items like picnic ham and sausage egg and cheese sandwiches. Again—we’re fans. We have spent many hours in the line here on the weekend, although we’ve had better luck at their Brooklyn location." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman
"This all-day cafe in the West Village is a popular import from LA known for its oatmeal griddle cakes, which look like pancakes but are pre-sweetened and served without syrup. The griddle cakes come in varieties like blueberry, banana nut, and chocolate chip, and they're thin and crispy, with a moist consistency reminiscent of undercooked muffin batter. We're fans. As is the case for a lot of breakfast spots (especially in this neighborhood), you should get here early to avoid having to stand in line too long." - carina finn koeppicus, kenny yang, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"The griddle cakes are perfectly burnt along the edges. And even though I am a diehard for maple syrup, they don't even serve it with any syrup because there's the right amount of sweetness. I think it's a blackstrap molasses that they put in, topped with this cinnamon butter that's just unreal. There's the chewiness of the oats, the crispy edges, and they're just soft and undercooked in the center. They also have a really nice pork and a chicken sausage removed from the casing, flattened out as a nice little patty with ketchup on the side." - brennan carley
