“Ygeor was extremely attentive to us at the table. Came with my mom and grandma to catch up and the food was great and even though they were out of some stuff and had to do some swaps everything was great. Great lighting, pretty solid food and prices, would come again for sure.“

“My friend Cristina, who had been raving about this place for a long time, treated us to my husband’s birthday brunch here, and she was not wrong. What a gem!

Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back with my family!“

“Delicious crepe and latte! Wonderful staff. Would definitely return to try some Turkish treats.“

“Looooved the atmosphere at this cute Puerto Rican owned cafe. The coquito latte?! AMAZING. My friend got the avocado toast and I got the breakfast sandwich on Mexican bread. 9/10! The only downfall was that people were comfortably seated and no one was really policing the tables, but my friend and I finally got a seat and were able to enjoy the experience a little better.“

“This place is such a vibe! I visited after my eye dr appointment and it most certainly won’t be my last time visiting. I had a special coffee called the Samoa and it was amazing. I also had a chocolate croissant that was flaky and filled to the brim. I’m writing this review days After visiting this establishment because I can’t get the coffee out of my head. If you were in the area and need a place to work remotely or just enjoy a great cup of coffee, this is the place for you.“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

“I Love the Glorious Juice! So refreshing and good for me!!“

“My wife and I stopped by without knowing much about it. What a great experience! The pasties, sweet and savory, are superb. We both had macha, which was expertly made. The space is clean and welcoming with great music playing and the staff was obviously proud of their work, attentive and patient. I highly recommend!“

“I read their amazing reviews, I had to add me 2 cents. Definitely try their French toast. Brings back my memories of being a kid, and filling as f...... Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“

“Great breakfast variety and good service.“

“Thick cut bacon, egg and cheese on a poppy roll with a yolk that bursts on the first bite. The perfect pick me up on a rainy nyc day. Iced latte pairs well with the crullers. Great to sit and catch up with friends over some daily provisions“

“I'm a Long Islander, I been lucky to have some amazing coffee places all over the states. But ironically I did not try their coffee nor did I give their lattes a try, I felt they were kind of small for the price and just a typical NYC thing, but let me just say it is probably worth it quality wise. The Croffles are AWESOME! I had a Tiramisu and Earl Grey one. Earl Grey cakes and flavors are making their way more onto menus and I am all for it! The early grey croffle was so good, and don't let the small size fool you, that thing filled me up. It is literally "something sweet" it was very sweet but so tasty. Tiramisu was really good too, I just felt it was nothing insane but it was tasty on the croffle. Maybe because also it had nothing to balance it with a bitter taste, Tiramisu lady fingers gives it that espresso taste, it did have some espresso beans and powdering on it but not strong enough for my taste. They also had matcha tiramisu they sell and have some cool pre-made stuff, a tasty Korean inspire one looked so good!

I love speciality coffee, but I have to give it to these places, they are smart to go into baking, this was so tasty and gave me a wake me up with it's natural tea and tiramisu did have a that espresso vibe.
Also shoutout to the workers, very friendly, super funny, not too casual friendly, professional and just very kind people. NYC is a fast place, especially around 55th it can feel like everything is moving quick, even a bit lonely the city that is so big, it was nice to just have a chill chat and meet someone nice and the workers were down to earth! I'm a bit of a fisherman hillbilly and NYC is too much for me when visiting to see family, but places like these keep me going!

Give this place a try, worth the money!“

“My first time trying them was amazing, my aunt, cousins along with myself did a coffee tasting there and everything was great!! I had the FFF (Triple F) with a HEC on brioche 🔥! Service was exceptional as well, definitely a comeback whenever I’m in NJ again“

“In the past year I used Custodi to cater two parties, a Hawaiian Luau and Texas BBQ. Both times the food was delicious! Chris is so easy to work with and very accommodating with what your needs are. His staff took care of everything the day of, very professional. Our parties were a huge success and everyone raved about the food! Thanks so much Chris!“

“Excellent croffles and drinks! Caffe AND is a great place for a quick treat; service is fast, efficient, and friendly. The staff have always been welcoming, and the croffles come out warm with the perfect texture. I especially like the blueberry croffles, and I hope to try tiramisu next. The ambience of the restaurant is nice, but seating is pretty limited.“

“Wonderful place, delicious food and great atmosphere“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“Wayne Hot Bagels supplied breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week and did a fabulous job! They were friendly, courteous, patient and worked with me to find items that fit within the budget. They even personally delivered for us free of charge. They truly were a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely use them again for future events!“

“More than just a snack bar, this place serves amazing full meals! The menu is diverse, and I've enjoyed trying something new each time. The cleanliness and spaciousness are a plus, but the outdoor seating is paw-fect for dog owners like me“

“Saw this place called Mr.Waffles. Looked appetizing so I checked it out. Omg freaking amazing. Have to check out their full menu of waffles & juices. I ordered the Waffles 4 in 1 Pistachio Nutella, white chocolate, kinder bueno, fruit as you can see from the photo looked & tasted amazing!!!!“

“Melanie did an AMAZING job on my sister's Game of Thrones themed couple shower. I had some ideas but she really took what I said and made my ideas into something more. Not only did everything look great, the desserts tasted wonderful too. I highly recommend her and Jamm Events and will use her again.“

“Great food and servers! definitely going back. Fresh squeezed OJ!“

“Dots Café is one of those rare spots that makes you want to come back every single day (which at this point I basically do). The coffee is great (shoutout to the seasonal flavors), the food is thoughtful and consistently delicious, and the whole place has a welcoming energy that’s hard to find. Favorites of mine are the breakfast burrito, chicken sandwich, and the pastries, but honestly almost everything here hits the mark. The staff make it even better, as they're kind, upbeat, and always on point, and the owner brings a personal touch that makes the café feel like a true neighborhood gem. If you’re looking for a place that combines quality with atmosphere, this is it.“

“The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The decor facilitates a creative space for gathering with friends and colleagues.“

“Had a delightful lunch today at the 41st St location. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The dressing on the greens that comes with the sandwiches was to die for! Atmosphere was quaint and inviting. Staff was exceptionally attentive and polite even though it was busy! We can’t wait to go back!“

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

“Great drinks and great view 😍“

“This place is great. Highly recommend. One of the best spots around. Between the food, coffee and service, this place is a 10 out of 10. They’re very caring and friendly! The blueberry scones are the what ones I’ve had. So good !!“

“Love it! So happy it’s in our neighborhood!!“

“We have been to Made in Italy many times during all of the ownership changes. We have been for dinner, had graduation parties and gone for dessert only. We were so happy to hear that it was open at night again. My husband recently had knee replacement and was itching to get out. We decided to go for coffee/dessert at Made in Italy. He struggled to get in the car and out when we arrived. It was 8:30 Saturday night when they close at 10. There were over 15 tables open - we asked to be seated for coffee and dessert only to be told they don’t do that. They wouldn’t seat us - they gave us their card and told us to check the menu when we got home- which we did. The second paragraph of the website says - stop by just to have a cup of our gourmet coffee. They had many tables open and preferred to turn us away. Needless to say - we will not be going back.“

“Love this place, looks like it was lifted from Brooklyn and placed in this corner. It’s cozy and very eclectic, uniquely furnished, has a bunch of tiny unique items scattered through the space for sale, like candles, flower vases, other small decorative item. More importantly they have a menu with a variety of beverages and pastries and I believe sandwiches (not quite sure if I saw sandwiches on the menu but definitely a variety of pastries). This is going to be my new goto spot“

“Nice place to get u coffee Sandwich and u gas 😍“

“Great place! Great views!!!!“

“This place was awesome. There’s lady taking our order was so friendly. She gave us several recommendations and helped accommodate us as we were running late to something. The food was delicious, I don’t think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. There’s not a ton of seating that I could see, but we got there early and there was only a couple people there.“

“Frisson is a tiny nook with friendly energy. The barista greeted us with a smile, walked the girls through their iced matcha, and nailed the drinks quickly. I ordered a flat white, hoping for a light roast, but medium was the only option on bar. It was smooth and chocolate-leaning with perfectly textured milk, just not the bright profile I usually chase.

Space is tight so more grab-and-go than sit-and-stay…so don’t count on lingering for long. Still, the warm service and solid execution make it an easy four-star stop when you need a quick coffee fix in the neighborhood.“

“Everything is so delicious“

“excellent service, place is super clean, food is great, fast service definitely will order from them again“
