“My wife and I stumbled onto this location one day when passing through Queens. She just wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee, but what we got was so much better than expected. We had a “flat white” which was amazing high-quality coffee. And a piece of homemade baklava. I have to say this was hands-down, The absolute BEST baklava I’ve ever had in my life and if you’re a fan of this dessert, you absolutely need to go try it for yourself. I myself, have grown-up eating plenty of baklava. In my hometown, we have one of the highest Middle Eastern populations in the country so we have plenty of great baklava but I’ve still never had it this good. It was Perfect!✨ A large quantity, but not too filling, well-defined layers, very light & flaky but still moist, and just the right amount of nuts. when you bite into it, no part of the dessert gets lost or covered up. You can taste every element standing out with prominent flavor; from the freshness of the walnuts to the sweetness of the syrup and quality of the dough. After talking to the owner for a while, she explained to us how she bakes everything herself and how she refuses to buy her desserts from bakeries or skimp out on quality even if it makes her job easier. Let me tell you, it shows! I highly respect the integrity she brings to her baking and her café. She also gave us some cookies that were amazing as well.

Now let me tell you a bit about the owners of this establishment. They’re a dedicated hard working family from Montenegro and were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my travels. They were VERY kind warmhearted people who opened their business up to us as if it was their home and we were long time friends, stopping by for a visit. It was honestly surreal how comfortable they made us feel. We spoke for over an hour and enjoyed their beautifully designed and well kept Café/Bar. Whenever I go to a new location, I really pay close attention to how much the owners care about their business and the customers they serve. It is by far the most important criteria. With these owners, you can tell they really put their all into the business and it is truly a family affair. I loved how the husband and wife were both there working together and even their daughter pitches in. The daughter even drew this amazing Halloween picture on the board by the entrance and you can tell how proud her parents are of her skills. I truly admire the love and attention this family puts into their business, and I can confidently say they’re the American dream in action!🇺🇸 Please go pay these guys a visit I promise you won’t be disappointed. I know for us, It will be worth it to make the trip from New Jersey to visit again soon.“

“I did brunch with my family and it was overall a good experience. First off, service was great! Yes, you do have to get your drinks, like in most cafes but they do serve you food and cutleries. My parents thought their coffee was not as hot as they would have expected. But the staff was courteous enough to instantly serve another fresh cup. We ordered shaphaley, momos, chips and guac (diff chips style, which I loved), french toast, Himalayan breakfast (this was great!) and regular brunch breakfast. Overall, everything tasted good. The french toast was okay hence taking a point off for food. Other than that, this cafe meets my needs for asian and western fusion brunch. Will def visit again ?.“

“Got the smoked salmon tartine and HOLY COW was it delicious. Visiting from out of town, and a local friend suggested we meet here. I’m so glad we decided on here. Convenient location right off the subway, and Maricello was an excellent server. 10/10 — would come back again.“

“Loved this place. Cute little surprise in my neighborhood. Place was small but very charming. Staff was very accommodating, attentive and quick. Food looked and tasted amazing. Very flavorful. The icing on the cake was the music as they happened to play my type of alternative bands. This is definitely a 5 star spot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“David is an excellent waiter, he is very attentive and knowledgeable about the business and does a great job with the customers. Thank you very much David, and the food is super delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Very great with children“

“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!“

“Live in the neighborhood and just tried this place out for the first time and it was fantastic. The baristas were super friendly and it had great ambience. I got the cold brew which was not that expensive relative to some other coffee shops, and was delicious.“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“Great coffee, great guy! Sam’s the best! His homemade treats and delicious coffee highlight my day. Always a pleasure to visit and catch up with Sam, he treats everyone like family. I highly recommend Kiosk 250!“

“We had a wonderful meal here. My girlfriend loves to eat healthy and they had several healthy options, as well as, diverse offering of food, cafe and even mimosas for me.

If you are at the Park Ave location, definitely ask for Mimi she provides excellent Customer Service. We highly recommend Tartinery!“

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

“I love Daily Provisions and order delivery from this location so often it's actually a little weird. Food is always good! I can't place an order from here without getting a cold brew and a blueberry muffin, the patty melt and tuna melt are so good, the chefy salad is perfect, and the breakfast sandwiches are great.

The only thing is that about 9/10 times I order, they do not include a straw for my iced coffee or a hot sauce for my breakfast sandwich. Tbh, they probably only send the hot sauce once out of every 20 orders (I really order from here a disturbing amount).

Whatever, the heart wants what the heart wants. But PLEASE start sending straws!! And maybe let me order a cruller online? :)“

“Absolutely love this place
Discovered it yesterday and I already went twice - isn’t that insane ?

Grace and Justin provided flawless service. Including the lady who closed (I’m an asshole and came the last 30 mins before closing. Please don’t do this).

Would return a million times“

“Slate Cafe NoMad is a great spot for a quick, satisfying meal. I noted it was busy but runs efficiently, and the staff is friendly. I tried the cauliflower soup, which was flavorful and well-made with sourdough bread. The green tea was also delicious. They also offer good vegan and vegetarian options, like the Dijon chickpea salad sandwich, which pairs well with the soup. The setup makes it easy to grab a meal without a long wait, and the atmosphere is welcoming. A solid choice for a casual lunch.

Vegetarian options: They have unique options and vegan choices

Dietary restrictions: They answered my questions“

“Amazing and skilled barista here!! Bc they also use La colombe coffee bean which is not that special but to still make the latte and cold brew so impactful with that bean is impressive

Come here for their beautiful latte art too!“

“You should come here because they have speciality coffee and drinks, and stay for the vibes and culture. Love the concepts like the "coquito latte" and the whole attention to detail from the paintings and murals on the wall to the stoned floor and the domino table that sits in the middle of it all.“

“Absolutely loved their pistachio soufflé—it was incredible! The cold brew was a bit too strong for our taste, but they had a wide variety of other beverages on the menu. While the drinks are a bit on the pricier side, that’s expected for NYC. Plenty of seating available with convenient table service too.“

“The Healthy in Dyckman Juice Bar is one of my new favorites! The variety of food options available is mind boggling and I mean that in a good way. As someone who doesn’t eat dairy, I love it here. My favorite thing I’ve tried so far is the Salmon rice bowl. It’s so healthy, delicious, filling, and well priced! The avocado toast with the eggs was hitting too! You must give this gem a try. Thanks Juan for your great service today.

Dietary restrictions: If you’re vegan, vegetarian, or don’t eat dairy this place you’ll feel right at home. Healthy vibes apply.“

“Great coffee and great staff. Biggest windows in midtown. Beautiful sun in the heart of garment district“

“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!!!“

“I went into the Fantastic Foods store in Norwood, NJ for the first time and was amazed at the international food sections, as well as the cooking classes they offer. The owner proudly introduced me to the products. Before I left, as I was at the register paying for the things that I had purchased, the owner asked me if I’d like to try the pecan pie. She noticed that I was cooking tempting it. It looked so incredible I wondered if it tasted as good as it looked. When I tried a piece, I was astounded at how delicious it was! I’ve never tasted anything quite like it! I’ve never had pecan pie, but this must’ve been a cut above the rest. The cinnamon flavor was divine, and I immediately ordered a piece for myself to go. When I got into my car, I couldn’t wait! I immediately devoured my delicious pecan pie. My father used to say it was his favorite but I bet he never had anything this good!! I wish he was around so I could share it with him but it made me happy to know that I now can share his joy! I immediately texted my friends to tell them about my experience! The owner tells me that they also serve crêpes. I can’t imagine how amazing they must be. I Highly recommend Fantastic Foods to anyone who is selective in their culinary taste and looks for international foods. I can’t wait to go back and bring my friends with me to have their desserts and pecan pie!!!!“

“The egg toasts were delectable! Actually so happy my sister and I chose to come by. It has a tiny kick of spice which was a pleasant surprise. My sister got the vanilla flat white coffee and she loved it and finished it so quickly. The only thing I wasn't over the
moon for was the corndog. I got the mozarella hot dog corn dog and it was okay. I wouldn't get it again.

The space is small but offers some seating indoors and outdoors. I will definitely try to come again for the egg toast specifically.“

“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!“

“I go to this place at least three times a week. I love Mae Mae. The service is wonderful and the food is delicious. The cherry on top is the affordable pricing! I cannot describe how joyful it is to eat food that leaves you full, but not feeling heavy, and not steep for your pockets. I recommend to everyone at work and now the internet! Please come by and enjoy :)“

“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.“

“Super cute and small coffee shop! I got myself a refresher (I believe it was a blueberry passionfruit drink?) and it was really refreshing on that hot day. They had other drinks as well so I will definitely be back to try the others! Overall, very delicious and crisp!“

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

“Stupid, d*** delicious. Will be back every chance possible. Well worth it.“

“This place is really very good. I am tired of all those american ice cream shops, where you are consuming mostly elephant doses of sugar. But simple matcha cone ice cream is so delicious and well-balanced. More I am getting into Asian culture more I feel to disconnect from everything American.“

“Convenient life, beautiful night scene.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This cafe is my absolute favorite in all of Queens! The food here is of unbelievable quality, and I can honestly say you'll get addicted. Their cupcakes are hands down the best you'll ever have. Every bite is a delight, and the atmosphere is cozy and
welcoming Diana, the owner, is such a gem of a human—you can tell she loves what she does. Her team is incredibly talented, making every visit a delight. Highly recommend!

“Wonderful place, delicious food and great atmosphere“

“I’ve been here about ten times. The two owners (Sezane and Apo; I could be misspelling their names) are each entertaining and friendly. It’s a great place to come work for an hour or two: tranquil, comfortable seating indoors (if a bit narrow) and outdoor tables on a sidestreet just off 30th Ave. Also, they have freshly baked Turkish treats and savory food. They’re very welcoming here. Highly recommend!“

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

“This place is pretty great. It's owned by a small family, Everytime I've come I always see the mom working, and sometimes the daughter. They have a wide selection of snacks to grab, whether it be cake or one of their made goods like a croquet or the boba. Would definitely recommend, my one negative aspect would be the music taste. It's a bit tacky and old, but not bad enough to not come.“

“The Snack Stop is my favorite breakfast and lunch spot. Their food is flavorful and fresh. The best bagels in Leonia and Fort Lee area. The staff is so friendly. They already know my favorite coffee and as soon as I walk in they begin preparing it for me with out me even asking for it. lol. Overall I love this place and highly recommend it to everyone.

Kid-friendliness: They have good options for kids and I always see the kids from the neighborhood in there having breakfast or lunch.“

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

“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.“

“I’m glad my daughter found this place, now I’m addicted to bubble drinks!! And the bubble waffle is awesome!!!!“

“If you’re thinking about stopping here for coffee, DO IT! The blueberry vanilla & el cubano are so so delicious. When I’m not in the mood for coffee I have the golden milk, it’s cozy and super tasty. The blueberry muffins are perfect for a quick snack and they’re soft and yummy too.

Dietary restrictions: Great option for those with nut allergies“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

“From the moment you step into the café, you’re embraced by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The interior is beautiful and the food is outstanding for sure. The staff is exceptionally attentive.

I did have to wait a little for my dessert, but to my surprise, it was gifted to me as a goodwill! Thank you, Louis Vuitton, for your impeccable service and attention to detail. It was a pleasure to visit you.“

“I've found my new favorite sandwich spot in the city! The game-changer is their freshly baked, homemade bread - it elevates the entire experience. The coffee is also perfectly crafted, with just the right balance of sugar, almond milk, and rich flavor.

But what truly sets this gem apart is the warm atmosphere and exceptional service. The owner's kindness and hospitality made us feel right at home. She even surprised us with a complimentary treat on our way out!

What impressed me most was her generosity and trust. She encouraged us to enjoy our meal without rushing to pay, showing that she genuinely cares about her customers' experience.

If you're looking for a truly exceptional dining experience, look no further!“

“They have a cafe upstairs and a full service restaurant downstairs. My friend and I were really hungry, so we opted for downstairs. It was really nice. The service was friendly but not intrusive. We were there for hours and they left us alone, The food and coffee were excellent, including yummy desserts. The atmosphere and decor were sweet and homey. Book shelves, etc. Overall a lovely place.“

“Astounding sandwiches! The "Queen's Baby" is absolutely delicious - even though it's a bit pricey, it's a lot of food. The Havana panini is a classic Cuban that would fit in perfectly in Miami. The bakery items look absolutely amazing, and I would love to go back and try more of their menu! The only downside is the limited seating.“
