GoPlanit Reviews for Mama's on Washington Square
the best breakfast/brunch place in the city! place gets packed on weekends, and even on most weekdays too! as locals we try to avoid the weekends or go at around 2:30 just before closing

THE BEST breakfast in the whole city. THE BEST. You have to stand in line outside the restaurant, as it's very small and they only allow as many people in as they have empty tables. You may have to wait 30-40 minutes, but it is absolutely worth it. They make all kinds of home made breads and pastries that they use to make your french toast, and they have 15 kinds of omelets that are huge and worth every bite. You will not be disppointed. It is a charming little place with great food.
