LA’s griddle-cake favorite lands in the West Village
Breakfast by Salt’s Cure is the New York outpost of the popular Los Angeles breakfast spot, and this Morton Street location was its first in the city. The draw is the oatmeal griddle cakes — thin, crispy, lightly sweetened pancakes served without syrup, in flavors like blueberry, banana nut and chocolate chip. The rest of the menu leans hearty, with fried chicken and a proper sausage, egg and cheese.
It’s a counter-order, table-service spot in a bright, airy room that fills up fast, so it pays to arrive early and expect a line on weekends. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. It’s a straightforward, well-executed breakfast rather than a scene, tucked onto a quiet West Village block.
What to Expect
There’s no happy hour here — Breakfast by Salt’s Cure is a daytime restaurant, open mornings through mid-afternoon, and closes before the dinner and cocktail hours. The focus is squarely on breakfast and brunch, so plan a morning or early-afternoon visit rather than an evening one.
The Room
The space is compact, bright and breakfast-forward, with big windows and a casual counter-service setup. Seating is limited and turns quickly, so weekend mornings often mean a wait out front. It’s an in-and-out breakfast room, not a lingering, all-day café.
