Charlie's Frog Pond is a pint sized bistro that captures the pulse of Park Ave. Charlie's has a vibrant, yet casual and friendly atmosphere. Featuring remarkable daily blackboard specials in addition to an already extensive menu, Charlie's Frog Pond offers guests an enormous array of culinary delights. Charlie's is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week.

A Mise en Place Culinary Journal reviewer (12.22.02) listed two reasons why Charlie's Frog Pond was his favorite breakfast place: frittatas and mimosas. He praised the variety of the menu and described the decor as "funkadellic" while the space is "small and cramped, giving you that authentic NYC feel."

It is a bit cramped, so plan on sitting close to other patrons.

BTW, my waitress' have all been cute 20 year olds, all the vegas hookers must have moved back. —MrRochester

2008-10-18 23:42:02   I think the next time I come here for breakfast, I'll stop for a Starbucks or a Dunkin Donuts coffee on the way. What are they going to do if I show up with my own coffee? Not serve me? I don't think so. They are good folks here, they just have a different idea of what a good cup of coffee should taste like. If I use a "personal cup", they probably won't mind one bit and may take the hint that they serve some nasty coffee here. The food is really good, and it is such a cute little place. I Love the Frog Pond! —DrJim

And for those that like things spices they have Melinda's hot sauce to put on your eggs. Never been to another restaurant that carries it (normally you only get tabasco or frank's) —JakeBurgholzer
