I live close by and eat the food from Batata frequently. If you’re okay with eating eggs and dairy, the absolute best thing on the menu is the scrambled egg and cheese malawach, with schug and grated tomato on the side. A sweet runner-up would be the coconut milk waffles (the house-made sweet chili butter served on the side is outrageously delicious). The eggplant and labne sandwich is also really good, but I think they only serve it on Wednesdays now. If you’re vegan, I’d recommend the sweet potato felafel sandwich WITHOUT the feta (or with, if you eat dairy), or the lentil soup. (The grain bowl and brussels sprouts used to be really good, but I’m not sure if they’re on the menu anymore.) I like the mint lemonade, too, and you can never go wrong with hummus (particularly the mushroom hummus) and sweet potato fries .

We LOVED our sweet potato falafel and chicken schnitzel. Carryout containers were spill proof and recyclable.

Batata became a go-to first because of the location - I lived a block over. But then it became my go-to for the excellent food, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere and generous portions. That batata breakfast! The sabich! Those smoothies! I moved 4 years ago and still miss this spot on a regular basis.

Do I need to say more? Not even the first time! Never happened to me before that instead of smelling delicious food, you smell burnt food coming out of the bag…
