50 Best Cafes near Cliffside Park

“Awesome spot for a quick bite and inviting to stay and relax - great cookies and the the espresso was 👌“

“What a great find. This is a cozy coffee shop/cafe serving up Venezuelan specialties. The arepa reina and cachapa (corn pancake) de pollo were both fantastic. It took a few minutes for the food to come out, but that's because it's a one woman show, she was making the food to order, and serving up drinks. Would highly recommend if you're in the area!“

“The new owners have brought a completely different level of energy and hospitality to the place. The service is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, and you can tell they are personally invested in making sure customers have a great experience. Me and my son had a breakfast and it was truly amazing.

Most importantly, the quality of the food and desserts has improved tremendously. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious, especially the baklava and Turkish pastries. Definitely worth trying.“

“Great place for breakfast! The bagel and omelette were very flavorful and seasoned perfectly for breakfast. I recommend the freshly squeezed orange juice! The sandwiches looked really tasty. I will come again for a quick bite in the morning!“

“Great Cafe ,Coffees ☕️are delicious 😋 Friendly Atmosphere 😊“

“Excellent Turkish bakery they have the best rice pudding and I also tried the chocolate moon cake which was not my favorite it was good . The almond pudding is also very creamy and yummy . They have a lot of food here, but I haven’t tried it but all the food I seen looks very good. I will be back here. I’ve been here two times so far.“

“Great service David was helpful. The biscuit egg sandwich was very good and the hash browns nice and thin as I enjoyed. They gave me pot of coffee without asking but otherwise I'll try something else next time“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Lovely place , Nice people , really good cakes. THANK YOuu (with french accens 😉)“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“I have been going here for years and absolutely love it. Service is always fabulous but today I was blown away. I ordered for pick up and was pulled into a meeting, causing me to come get my iced drink and hot sandwich 1 hour later than I was supposed to, leaving the drink melted and the breakfast sandwich cold. When I got there, Pedro didnt hesitate to offer to remake everything fresh for me. In a day where everything wasnt going my way, this gesture from him meant a lot to me.“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.

Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.

Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.“

“Great experience at Tartinery Cafe located in the lower level food court of the incredible Grand Central Station! High quality fresh ingredients, healthy options, and all tasting delicious. We tried the soup and open sandwich deal - trying all three different soups - Lentil, butternut squash, and mushrooms, all were amazing and would recommend. With a friendly team of staff, it makes the perfect lunch spot in NYC!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“best truffle fries and yummy sauces for the burgers. Great people i will come back to this place with more friends“

“We went to the Tartinery Cafe at Columbus Circle for a quick bite before a 7 PM show at Lincoln Center. It was a perfect pre-theatre experience. Beautiful setting with great views of Central Park, great service, and delicious food at a nice price point. The open-face club sandwich (topped with brie) was nicely prepared and delicious. We will happily return.“

“Easily our best meal in NY. An intimate and relaxed setting with the most delicious food. We were hosted by Natalie, Eamon and Ryan who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Every aspect of this place, from the food, to the venue, to the service has been carefully considered. We can't wait to go back on our next trip.“

“What a delightful little breakfast/brunch place!!! We went here straight from the airport on our way into town, luggage and all, and it was perfect! We sat in the little outside area with the fans because the A/C was broken inside. My mom ordered the Grey Dog’s Breakfast with her eggs scrambled, French toast, and bacon, and it’s served with home fries. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant minus the parsley (not my fave) and added bacon. I’m picky about my home fries, so the server offered me french fries instead. We had exactly zero complaints about our meal. The portions are big, the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the French toast had this sweet butter with it that I can’t even compare to anything because it was so unique and delicious. The home fries ended up being DELICIOUS. The French fries were also good. I enjoyed the seasoning on them as well. I’m not a big fan of the thing shoe string fries, but these were good! The three employees we encountered were all very friendly and I would be more than happy to eat here again any time.“

“✨ It has such a beautiful, luxurious dining atmosphere. My server, Jose, was incredibly nice and attentive. My coffee was initially cold, but he immediately replaced it and also suggested some great food options. Excellent service, beautiful ambiance, and a lovely overall dining experience! ☕🍽“

“New York is one of the world's great cities, a global center for media, entertainment, arts, fashion, research, finance and trade. This busy, modern city is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the world and the most populous city in the United States.“

“Had a great experience at Lost Draft Coffee Shop in NYC! I ordered a latte and was really impressed with the flavor. It had a smooth, rich taste with just the right balance of espresso and oak milk, making it a really enjoyable drink from the first sip to the last. I got it with an extra shot and no additional flavors so I got a nice true taste of it all.

The shop has a great atmosphere and is a perfect spot to stop in for a quality coffee while exploring the city. You can tell they take pride in what they serve, and the latte definitely delivered.

If you’re looking for a good coffee spot in NYC, I definitely recommend giving Lost Draft a try. I’ll be back for another latte next time I’m in the area!“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“amazing hot chocolate and cakes. i am not sure the wait to sit in is worth it though as i felt a little rushed. but to take away you wont be dissapointed.“

“This is a 10/10 breakfast spot. I’ve never had Nepalese food before, and Cafe Catmandoo blew me away. I had the Catmandoo Breakfast special and I’m not usually a fan of chickpeas but I ate the ENTIRE thing. Staff is very friendly, they accommodated our large party of 9 people within 10-15 minutes. This is a must try!!!“

“Had the pleasure of eating here today with my family. What a wonder experience! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, beautiful opera being played lightly in the background, and the food was amazing with large portions. Would absolutely recommend! We will definitely be coming back on our next trip to NY!“

“This was our first time eating at Tartinery. There are several items to choose from on the menu. I ordered the Roast Beef Tartine and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were absolutely delicious. The concrete countertops around the restaurant were a nice touch. The staff was incredibly friendly while also providing fast service. We will absolutely visit again when we are in New York.“

“An incredible meal. The fresh and seasonal ingredients provide inspiration for the changing menu items. We had an array of starters and bites, with standouts being the cabbage Caesar, squash tart, and mortadella skewers. The fried pickles and ricotta toast were also tasty. The service was great, the team was friendly, attentive and helped answered all our questions.“

“The Kala tea was soooo good.
Drip coffee and croissant were great too. The crew were great.... and correcting us nicely when we moved the stools to the waiting area. 😁

Just wishing the space is bigger.“

The best place to go for coffee and breakfast in the area and Brooklyn for far

“My opinion is 9.1/10. Def lived up to hype. I had the yuzu, has a lemon flavor and I did enjoy it. If back in the area would try other flavors I heard the boba is what they are know for.

“After a day of sightseeing in NYC, we decided to check out Hoboken for a quick bite. Found this place that looked pretty cheery inside. We ordered two chef bowls, bulgogi and the beef bowl. The beef was juicy, but a bit overcooked for my taste, but the rest of the bowl was very tasty! The Bulgogi bowl was outstanding! Meat was flavorful, but not overpowering like what bulgogi usually tends to be. Staff was very kind and inviting!“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“
