Davelle is a traditional Japanese cafe serving comfort food around the clock, but the breakfast fare is where this petite cafe truly shines. The restaurant’s famed toast is the biggest draw. Available in savory and sweet variations, airy Japanese milk bread is artfully slathered with butter and spread.

Feeling ravenous? The lunch menu plays host to aromatic curries, bento boxes and rice dishes topped with crispy chicken cutlets. In terms of vibes, the aesthetic is minimalist and chic Charming, delicious and affordable, this Japanese-inspired brunch experience in the Lower East Side can’t be beat.

With options like savory ham and egg or sweet berry and cream cheese toast, it’s a top-notch LES coffee shop.
