//The line

Café Maud East Village is an all-day neighborhood café and bar on 2nd Avenue serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner alongside a hand-crafted cocktail program. It holds a 4.1 rating on Yelp from 137 reviews, and its late hours (open until around midnight most nights, later Thursday through Saturday) plus a sit-down bar-and-brunch format are the kind of setup that can draw a crowd and a wait at peak times.

Our single-search research did not surface specific reported wait times or line lengths for this location, so we can't state a number here. It does, however, take reservations via Resy, which is the more reliable way to guarantee a table than walking in, particularly for weekend brunch or evening cocktail hours.

Until damnlines has a live camera here, the practical guidance is general: East Village brunch spots like this one tend to see their busiest stretch on weekend late mornings into early afternoon, and booking ahead or going on a weekday is the lower-risk way to skip any wait.
