Review of Mud SPOT Aka MUD cafe in East village

I went to MUD cafe with friend SST on my last day in the city. I was carrying my luggage, we went to hang out at her place before I left for the airport.

First the ambiance: the backward area, outside place is quite nice and totally my vibe. It's an excellent place to hang out with dates, friends, and medium sized groups during Spring and Fall. If they have heaters winters are probably decent in there too.

The food: I got the mexican breakfast item with eggs and avocado. It was 'just okay'. My friend S wasn't much impressed by what she got either. I would instead just buy lotsa stuff at Trader Joe's and heat them up in the microwave before the hangout and go there there. The food is not great, and not 'cheap' for what it is either.

The service: it was comically bad. Even by NYC standards. Like so bad my friend and I were both confused if it was an act like Dick's or what. I mean I don't mind, but it's unclear to me what was happening.

The price: I paid 45 buckaroos for two brunch items and a drink, including taxes and tips. Hopefully they got the math correct because I don't remember seeing that amount in the bill. In any case, the prices are extremely unjustified. For what they offer, it's extremely overpriced. Wouldn't eat there at all.

Recommendation: go there, buy the cheapest drink available on the menu, and spend hours.

Rating: 8.5/10 for the vibe, 5/10 overall. Just got here and don't eat anything, you're paying money on drinks for the ambiance.
