“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“I was traveling for my studies, and it was incredible for the time I spent here. Our bartender was Frank, a great person. I won't forget him. This place is perfect for disconnecting and getting a good meal. Without a doubt, I'll be back on my next trip.“

“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!“

“Great coffee, great pastries, great man. Sam is the nicest man there is. He invited me to come eat in his own home. His wife's homemade pastries are the best!“

“The vibe here is so cozy warm and friendly, but it's not the best for settling in and getting work done due to their 90 min policy.

The cafe is spacious and the drinks and pastries are delicious. I wanted to try the famous pistachio croissant but they were out at 2pm! So I got the pistachio muffin on my guy's rec. It's filled with pistachio butter. So delicious, pistachio lover's dream. Their hot chocolate is really rich and chocolatey too, not watery at all.

As for service, the reviews about wanting to be the baristas' best friend are accurate, they are very kind and caring people. The guy who took my order thoughtfully toasted my muffin without me even asking!“

“We're heading to a show at Rose Theater and wanted a quick bite and a glass of wine. Tartinery was perfect! They seated us in a reasonable time, no reservation needed and the food was delicious. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The wine French and yummy. Highly recommend!“

“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! The service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and the place was very clean with a nice atmosphere. It’s also BYOB, which makes it even better. Such a great addition to the community. Highly recommend and can’t wait to come back with my family!“

“I can’t believe I’ve only just discovered this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt so warm and welcoming. The staff were attentive and kind, which made the experience even better. We only had drinks this time, but everything was excellent—the recommended espresso martini was especially delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!“

“Really happy to find that place! Great real coffee and very friendly staff.“

“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!!!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“If I could come back for every meal I would. From the hostess and host to the servers and food everything was beyond incredible.

Order the tasting menu. You’ll love every bit of it. The little details were incredible and every single member of their team went above and beyond. Will definitely be back as often as possible.“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“We were seated in the back at some corner which was pretty uncomfortable to me as I felt claustrophobic there. There was an available table in the front. I asked to be seated there but they couldn’t because “it’s a table for three” and it was two of us. Interestingly, they could seat one person at the table for two and they could seat three persons at the table for four.“

“I absolutely loved this place!! I gifted a box of mini croffles to my friend to share with others and she said they tasted amazing. Perfect for my friend’s sweet tooth. I also ordered the injeolmi croffle for myself and this place might be my new fav cafe in New Jersey!!“

“Love Healthy in Dyckman. It’s a gem in the Kingsbridge area where it’s possible to find good quality, healthy food. I particularly love their healthy egg wrap and chai latte. The staff is very sweet, and the place clean. The food is on the pricier side compared to the area, but it does justice to the quality. Highly recommended!“

“Tenz is one of the best parts about living in this neighborhood! Been a regular for a few years now. They are fast, friendly, and the drinks and pastries are so on point. I’m also a big matcha person and this is one of the best I’ve had in the city—super strong and super green. Tenz has 5 stars for a reason 💗“

“support the bzrrio by supporting the local businesses and not the Stsrbuck types“

“Excellent coffee and best cookies in the city! Baristas know what they’re doing, service is quick, and single origin specialty coffee is a bonus!“

“Great coffee and baristas, but the screen free zone downstairs during the day is unnecessary when completely empty on most days. Do a time limit if you're concerned about turnover/dining or minimum spend. Would be great to have Turkish coffee back or a pour over option as well.“

“Very glad we found this place. Nice ambiance and delicious food“

“Cute well decorated shop with seating, plants, and cold vegan food. Wish they had outlets for laptops or fresh hot food. Looks like they have liquor but they’re closed after 3pm and on weekends so that doesn’t really make sense?. Tried a horchata latte and it was very sour and difficult to drink. Man happily fixed and changed it for me. Second drink still bad.. Would not eat here again but would come back for a casual daytime date just because of the cozy ambience & Great service.“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

“Daily Provisions consistently serves the best sandwiches in the city. This location, near the museum, is my go to after a run. The chicken Milanese dipped in their tomato soup is my favorite (the olive oil makes the difference), paired with a side of fried potatoes.

If you want something simpler, their tuna melt is pretty decent, though the majority of customers (7 out of 10) opt for the chicken Milanese.

The wait is minimal, ample seating, and this location is noticeably more spacious (and less stuffy) than their Union Square outpost.“

“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.“

“Cafe Piecebook truly feels like a second home to me. It's my go-to spot for a daily pick-me-up. Their white mocha is my favorite when I want something warm and cozy, and the iced caramel latte is perfect when I'm craving something refreshing. The cookies n cream cookie is absolutely delicious, and their seasonal drinks never disappoint, especially the teddy graham latte.
The owner, Seoul, is amazing and genuinely treats you like family. The rest of the staff are just as wonderful, always patient and welcoming. On top of that, the interior is very unique and edgy with a cool aesthetic that makes you want to stay awhile. The great reviews are well deserved. If you're in the neighborhood, it's definitely worth stopping by.✨☕️“

“My favorite spot to work & eat in Jersey City Heights.“

“Wow. It's hard for me to articulate how much I loved it. Incredible warmth, coffee, service, and crepes all packed into this absolute gem. You feel like family the moment you walk in! Every time I'm in town, I'll stop by here - I promise it!“

“My fiancée and I come here probably 2-3 times a month for a casual weekend coffee.

I can’t believe that this spot only has 200 five star reviews.

It’s easily the best combo of ambiance, food and coffee in midtown without a doubt and it’s reasonably priced too.

It’s also one of the few coffee shops that actually has seating where you can relax and hear yourself think.

I’m honestly a little worried that this place will show up on influencers’ radar and my favorite local spot will be overrun“

“Convenient life, beautiful night scene.“

“I’ve been coming to this coffee shop for over two years now, and there’s truly nothing else like it in the neighborhood. The quality of their coffee is consistently excellent, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Rodrigo makes my caramel mocha latte every morning — it’s the perfect way to start my day!

The atmosphere is always warm and inviting. I often bring my laptop to get some work done; the Wi-Fi is reliable, the music is always on point, and the vibe is just right for focusing or relaxing.

Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great coffee, friendly service, clean and a welcoming environment.“

“I've discovered a restaurant that I'll be visiting regularly from now on. Their dishes deliver every time. The employees maintain a friendly demeanor. This place sets standards that shame competitors. Check this restaurant out – it's worth your time.“

“Perfect cappuccino. A must stop to satiate the craving.“

“I love Cafe sparrow! The minute I walked in the barista was very welcoming and super helpful. She offered many drink recommendations as I was indecisive. I settled with a strawberry matcha 🍵 which was so good and a nice warm toasted bagel with cream cheese. Overall I enjoyed my experience here, definitely recommend if you’re looking for good customer service and a nice quiet spot to sit and relax.“

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

“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.“

“This is such a great little spot in NYC! We went for breakfast and when we arrived the owner opened the door for us and welcomed us in. We had to wait a moment till they had a table for us, so they gave us menus to look at in the meantime. The food was delicious and very filling. There were quite a number of staff on hand, so we had wonderful service. They were very quick to refill our water and respond to any needs. I would definitely go here again!“

“Mochi Mochi Cafe is an amazing place to go, and as a regular, I am in love. It is very family friendly and the owners are amazingly kind. The food is great and at a good price. It has a ton of options for everyone and I would 100% recommend!“

“Pleasantly surprised coming across this place randomly looking up places nearby to quickly eat. The food was flavorful, fresh, and the coffee and drinks were solid. Wonderful place to catch up or do some reading depending on the time of day. I will be returning for sure and the staff were incredibly attentive and kind. It was nice to not feel rushed either. I could have kept eating all day!“

“Io e mia figlia siamo state una settimana a New York e questa è stata la nostra caffetteria per tutta la settimana. Cappuccino ottimo, per non parlare dei dolci, e le focacce baresi 😍😍😍... Lasagna tradizionale buonissima 😉presa 3 volte. Il top qui a New York. Lo consiglio.“

“Located in Tangram mall, this Matcha Cafe Maiko location is a great stop for a sweet treat. They have a couple kiosks where you can order at, and service is relatively quick considering how popular it can get.

They have a variety of matcha and other Asian drinks and cold desserts. Every month, they also have specialty flavors. When I went, I got their matcha and lychee parfait while my friend got their matcha soft serve. The parfait had so many different kinds of toppings and the portion was generous. Love their soft serve and I will definitely be coming back. (Their quality is also pretty consistent across locations!)“

“Since I planned to be in the area for a few hours, I looked online for a decent place to have lunch nearby. I wanted healthy & tasty food and found that based on positive reviews, I decided to give Claire's Kitchen a try.

Well let me tell you, the atmosphere was cute & had a chill & boho vibe. It's small with limited seating. The time of day was around lunchtime so the majority of customers had their orders to go. A couple of them ordered their favorites which was a sign that Claire's Kitchen has repeat customers.

I had the beef empanadas with a side salad and a chocolate chip scone for dessert. The empanadas were not deep fried so their crust was nice & soft; something that I wasn't used to in an empanada. The beef filling was seasoned nicely- the spices gave it a nice kick to it.

The green salad was very fresh and organic. It included mixed greens, cherry tomatoes and red onion .

Last but not least I must say the chocolate chip scone was divine! It did not need butter. I ate it as if it was like a big ole chocolate chip cookie-the whole thing in one sitting! In the past I found the texture scones to be dry and boring. Not this one! It was really good and fun to eat. I would definitely buy this again. This was a great substitute for the gluten-free chocolate cake that she ran out of :/

So when you are in the mood for tasty and healthy food and you happen to be in the neighborhood ,stop by Claire's Kitchen and treat yourself to a meal made with love.“

“We love this cafe. Coffee is amazing. Recommend the egg sandwiches, scones and heavenly croissants. You will not be disappointed ❤️“

“Coffee, hot chocolate, muffins! The experience!“

“We celebrated an anniversary with Dinner South Bronx at Nourish last week, and the experience was flawless. The service was impeccable, and the steak was cooked to perfection. The dining room has a chic, cozy ambiance, making it a wonderful place for a date night or a special occasion. We are already planning our next visit for another fantastic meal.“

“A nice cozy place to relax and enjoy breakfast or lunch!“

“I'm loving the new growth of my hometown Jersey City. So many businesses opening up and I'm loving it. Congrats to all the business owners and future business owners. 🙏❤️🙏 I can't wait to come back to visit.“
