“There are places you go… and then there are places you experience. ETERI is the latter.

From the moment you walk in, you feel it—the design, the energy, the attention to every detail. It’s one of those rare spaces where everything just works. Effortless, elevated, and incredibly inviting.

The coffee? Best best best.
The Coquito? Non-negotiable. Get it!!

But what really makes ETERI stand out is that nothing feels random. From the design to the service, everything is top notch. It’s curated, intentional, and done with a level of care you don’t come across often.

Whether you live there or you’re just visiting, this isn’t just a stop—it’s a place you’ll want to come back to again and again.

My girlfriends and I visited and stayed in that area for 4 days and went there everyday for coffee. People who live there are so lucky!“

“This restaurant was amazing! The person working there was very kind and answered my questions in a way I understood. I got my latte. It was made in a quick fashion. There were nice, clean tables to sit in to enjoy my latte. I highly recommend this location“

“Went with wife and father. Wife had the Golden Cloud cold coffee was outstanding. I had the latte the flavor and temperature were perfect. My father had the Americano he said it was really good. My father and I had the Madeline which was excellent. The server was really efficient and friendly. The place is immaculately clean. If you want a relaxed place to drink coffee, this is a great place!
Highly recommend.“

“Healthy & Dyckman is a great little café in the Bronx where you can get fresh, flavorful food at a reasonable price. Everything is made to order, so just be sure to order ahead or come with a little patience—there’s usually one person at the counter and one in the back preparing the food.

They offer both vegan and non-vegan options, so there’s something for everyone. Definitely a solid neighborhood spot worth checking out.“

“Fort Lee is lucky to have this gem! Easily one of our most frequented places. So many delicious options to choose from for a quick yet healthy meal or specialty coffee and sweets. What really sets Mochi Mochi Cafe apart are the owners. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of their customers. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been here a couple times before and the staff has always been very friendly and nice. Their pastries are good and so are their non coffee drinks. The music isn’t too loud and gives it a nice atmosphere to chat with your friends or study. I need to come here more often!!“

“Great space! Tasty coffee, bright space, and kind staff. They offer free WiFi and it's a great place to work. It's not the largest space, so they ask customers limit their time to 2 hours, which is reasonable! I would come back for some other drinks.

Note - it's on the second floor of the building w/o an elevator.“

“I would rather swallow poison than anyone else's cappuccino. Best coffee, vibe of any cafe in Westchester. Staff is super cool and I love the music they play. I am not cool but I feel cool when I'm in there.“

“Amazing shop and staff! A great addition to the community!“

“Well what started out as "oh let's try this place" as we hunted for a new brunch spot has quickly become a fam and friends fav. This eatery is a hidden gem in the mount Haven section of the BX...who knew!? Love the rustic casual ,chill vibe & the rooftop seating on a summer day is everything. The food... fresh uncomplicated, there are halal vegan& vegetarian options. The chocolate croissant and vegan carrot cake 🥰 My personal favorite is avocado toast with turkey bacon , arugula or the goddess bowl add a great cup of coffee or Chai latte it's all delish!! To the staff are friendly and helpful. We love this eatery so much we just had my friend's son's wedding there, intimate, beautiful. A must try.“

“Just checked out Nourish, a new restaurant in the South Bronx, and it exceeded expectations. The decor is beautiful, the music sets the perfect vibe, and the overall ambiance makes it a great spot to unwind or meet up with friends.

Our server, King, was incredibly attentive and made sure everything came out perfectly. We ordered cocktails, sliders, and steak — and every single dish was spot on. The food, drinks, and service all came together for a really great experience.

Definitely a new gem in the South Bronx. Looking forward to going back!“

“The absolute best raw vegan food!!“

“Delish coffee, pastries and service“

“It’s been my go to for breakfast or a quick bite. I came solo, with family, and honestly I’m never disappointed. Coffee is always good and the food is on point. I’ll keep patronizing this establishment for their service, their food, and chill atmosphere. WiFi is free and the people are warm and friendly. Stop by and see. ❤️😍❤️“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had such an amazing experience at Santo Café! The food was absolutely delicious. The arepas were slamming — perfectly made and full of flavor — and the empanadas were so yummy I didn’t want them to end. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with care. You can tell they put love into every bite. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food 😊“

“We were in Tarrytown on vacation and stopped in. I love to pick up local goods to bring home and I was not disappointed. Patrons and staff were kind and efficient. The Witch’s Brew beans I brought home are wonderful, mild, and full of flavor. Can’t wait to break into the second bag of beans I bought.“

“best coffee shop in Manhattan 😊“

“Súper recomendado deliciosa la comida“

“Boy I tell u the food was so darn delicious!!!!! I we was just there for breakfast“

“A true gem in the neighborhood. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, the coffee is great (love their iced cappuccino), and the pastries are always fresh. Cozy atmosphere, good music, reliable wifi — it's perfect for socializing (you can watch all the big soccer games here) but also for getting work done. I’ve lived in this area most of my life and this kind of café has been so needed here. Thanks Liam's <3“

“My visits are few and far between, because I don't drive. But everything I go, I'm with someone who has never been there, and they are always impressed by the massive selection, the taste, and the freshness. Gourmet express never disappoints. This time they had vegan carrot cake loaf, foccaicia, and olive bread loaf. I bought them all!!😊“

“A really great place to get something to eat and. The staff is lovely too. Had pasta fagioli soup recently which was delicious! It was a really nice day so sat outside (there's a few tables). Before leaving decided to get a few sweet treats which despite being a little pricey were so good and definitely worth it :).“

“the bread soup and pastries are excellent also the crumb cake none better“

“OMA Coffee has a really nice modern café vibe — minimalist, clean, and relaxing despite being in the middle of busy New York. The coffee was smooth and enjoyable, and the space itself felt cozy enough to slow down for a while.

Not necessarily the most unforgettable coffee spot in the city, but definitely a solid place for a good cup of coffee, casual conversations, or just taking a little break from walking around NYC.

Simple, aesthetic, and easy to like.“

“Great Food and ambience. Drinks are great but I love more beer options. This place is a hidden gem for coffee.“

“Needed a cafe to get some work done so tried Claire’s for first time. Staff was friendly, WiFi was fast and reliable and outlets are available. The granola bowl was fresh. I stayed longer than expected working and at no time did I feel rushed to leave or unwelcomed.“

“So I gotta be honest, as a native New Yorker I was very turned off by this place because of the prices and the obvious gentrification vibe (I’m sorry I had to say it) but I decided to give it a try since I’m always looking in while waiting for the 33 bus.

I gotta say I was just pleasantly surprised.

The quality is honestly outstanding and I truly appreciate the care put into this classic burrito! The eggs are fluffy, the tortilla looks and tastes homemade, the caramelized onions give it a nice sweetness, and there’s a pleasant crunch from tortilla chips! And the mild salsa? AMAZING they should honestly sell it, it’s that good.

The coffee is also pleasantly good quality and my cappuccino was perfectly sweetened by the adorable barista.

HOWEVER, I gotta deduct one star from the lack of some salt and flavor IM SORRY. The salsa was doing alot of heavy lifting here. Also it took a hot minute to get my food while the place was empty and my burrito wasn’t really hot…a little weird. Thankfully still made my bus and was able to eat my burrito right away.

Overall would definitely come back to try the Caesar salad wrap, other burritos, and more cappuccinos!

Edit: yall got me and I’m changing my rating to 5 stars. Love to support a native nyer business!
I’ve tried the salad wraps now and I will definitely be a regular 😊“

“I highly recommend this place! The brunch was fantastic. I tried the Nova Omelette special, and it was absolutely amazing. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. My kids are already planning to return and order the blueberry and orange pancakes.“

“This place is amazing & cozy, and everyone who works here is so nice. Every drink I've tried so far has exceeded my expectations and it feels great to have a local café I can support right in the middle of town. I've recommended this place to everyone I know!“

“Lifelong Palisades resident, and have loved the 9W Market/The Filling Station since it opened back in 2011! A HUGE improvement over the previous ownership when it was called the Palisades Market which opened in the spring of 2010 and was only open for a few months and then closed. I was so disappointed with the Palisades Market because it lacked a decent food selection and this community needed something so much more. Luckily, the owners of the 9W Market have done such an amazing job! I’ve never had a bad meal here! The ingredients are high quality and super fresh! The atmosphere and ambiance is very relaxing and tranquil! Love the bistro theme on the indoor side and picnic theme by the filling station burger stand. Not to mention, the burgers are the best I’ve ever had! Made with high quality grass fed beef! This is gourmet nyc restaurant style food right in our local neighborhood! Keep up the great work!“

“love love love this place. Feels like family, excellent food, great service! We will be back!“

“Fantastic! Met the owner. Very cool. They are expanding and offering full breakfast lunch. Check it out.“

“I absolutely loved this spot! I tried the brown sugar latte milk tea drink and it was amazing—perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and just the right kick. You can really tell they put effort into their drinks. The texture of the boba was on point too—chewy and fresh. Definitely coming back for another day soon!“

“Love the strawberry matcha. Best in NJ. Owner is so sweet but they randomly change the opening hours so this isn’t a place where you can plan ahead to come and get work done. I live pretty far and have been disappointed when I check in the morning that they’re closed for the day when they said they’d be open :/ Pho is okay.“

“Highly recommend their drinks, so far I’ve tried their vanilla latte & rose matcha and they didn’t miss.
For food, my fav would be the eggcelent avo toast & it’s really filling and tastes amazing.
The people are very kind & courteous. Whole in the wall!! Wish their space expands!!“
