WE SAY: This family-run bakery has been in the neighborhood for years and has never raised their prices. For about $2 you are hooked with a massive bacon egg and cheese sandwich and another 50 cents you get a great coffee (with warmed milk). The employees there have no attitude and will even teach you a little spanish if you're nice. They also have an ass-kicking selection of other cheap ($2.50) sandwiches which will put you in a food coma for the remainder of the day - I go with the pork or the chicken sandwich personally. Everything is so good and cheap - you'll find yourself eating a chicken soft taco at anytime of the day - even if you're totally full!

A total gem. I get my morning coffee here 4-5 days/week. Piping hot with steamed milk. For under a dollar. Toss in an extra dollar for a pastry or sweet, a few more dollars for huge filling sandwiches (I personally love the chicken and bacon/egg/cheese). Why can't Williamsburg have more places like this? I love you, La Villita!

I really enjoy their sandwiches. If you're aren't watching your waistline, get a chorizo sandwich with cheese. A little piece of heaven for 3$.
