Popular all-day American diner with standout brunch bakes and shakes, lively vibe, and generally friendly service—but expect waits, a 5% surcharge, and occasional seating-policy friction at peak times.
Ted's Bulletin delivers solid brunch and bakery execution with notably friendly and attentive service that earns frequent praise. However, quality varies noticeably—from excellent pastries and chicken dishes to occasional dry cakes and salty plates—while recent peak-hour seating friction and a 5% surcharge create friction that prevents grade A territory. The prime 14th Street location and warm diner atmosphere make it a reliable neighborhood favorite rather than a destination standout.
One caveat: Peak-time waits even with reservations; enforcement of all-parties-present policy
