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

“I went there for breakfast on a Thursday morning. The croque madame was perfection! Great service, good vibe. Be aware that you have to pay for each cup of coffee (vs. getting free refills, which is typical for breakfast service at most restaurants). The upside is the coffee is fantastic and relatively inexpensive for NYC.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We came here for dessert after having brunch at a different restaurant. The wait was about 50 minutes without a reservation for seating at the bar. For the future I will definitely be making a reservation as we walked the whole store in about 15 mins. The dessert was amazing and so was the Cocopolitan. My favorite was the Tiramisu 'Montenapoleone' we also ordered the Strawberry Charlotte and the Chocolate Monogram. Will definitely be going back!“

“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!“

“We were looking for a healthier breakfast option and tried Vale’s omelette and the egg white frittata. Both were delicious and surprisingly satisfying (we usually opt for heavier options). The cappuccino was perfectly balanced smooth and not too strong. The cafe itself is kind of small, but still a great atmosphere with warm and inviting staff.“

“Charlotte Cafe is a dependable favorite. The coffee is always great, the food arrives fresh, and the staff are friendly and prompt. It’s clean, cozy, and reasonably priced.

Thank you & God bless you and your family 😊“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved this café! The ambience is warm, cozy, and beautifully designed with elegant lighting, greenery, and a very relaxing vibe. Had brunch and coffee here, and everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly made. The atmosphere feels calm yet lively — the kind of place where you can sit for hours and enjoy good conversations.

The aesthetic interior, soft lighting, and overall good vibes make this café feel extra special. The staff were welcoming, and the whole experience felt comforting and peaceful. Definitely one of those hidden gems you’ll want to come back to again and again. Highly recommend for brunch, coffee dates.

Top notch Potato Achar on the side it totally gives Nepali vibes“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“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!“

“If you're looking for authentic Greek food and pastries, Meri's Bakeshop is an absolute gem. As someone who is half Greek and grew up eating homemade Greek food, I can honestly say this is the best Greek bakery and food I've had anywhere in the United States.

Everything we tried was exceptional, from the Greek cookies to the baklava and spanakopita and tiropita. You can taste the quality, tradition, and care in every bite. Even better, Meri creates fresh specials daily, so there's always something new and delicious to try.

What truly sets this place apart is Meri herself. She is one of those rare people who instantly makes you feel like family the moment you walk through the door!! Her warmth, hospitality, and passion for sharing Greek culture shine through in everything she does.

Meri's Bakeshop feels like stepping into someone's home for a meal. The food is incredible, but it's the combination of authentic flavors and genuine hospitality that makes it so special. This is the kind of place you find once and then tell all your friends about- I can't wait to go back!“

“Highly recommend this place!! The ambiance was amazing. We ordered a tiramisu latte, mango tango refresher, and coquito latte and both are 10/10. The pastries are also freshly made!! I tried the blueberry danish, butter croissant, and apple strudel and you can’t go wrong with any of the options!!“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“Fantastic experience! The food was great, but what really stood out was the exceptional customer service. Benjamin was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome throughout our visit. His excellent service made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place, and we’ll definitely be back!“

“Took my 2.5 year old niece to Da Adriano and they could not have been nicer or more accommodating to us. We ordered the bolognese and the special of the day which was pistachio pesto and better than any pistachio pesto i had in Sicily two weeks ago. My niece said it was her new favorite restaurant and she loved the pasta. Clean ingredients, evoo only and authentic! Can’t wait to come back to this neighborhood spot!“

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

“Stopped in for a cold juice while out for a walk. It was a nice experience and we loved our juices but what makes this place special is the owner Maria. She made us feel so welcomed and treated us as if we were her family. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Please go support a local business!“

“The guy is so nice. The iced latte was excellent (and I’m a coffee snob), and the tuna sandwich was excellent (I’m also a tuna sandwich snob). And my friend really liked his his strawberry rose matcha. Outdoor seating is pleasant too.“

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

“I decided to try a new coffee spot today and walked into Tenpa’s. I ordered a 16oz iced latte with almond milk and raspberry flavoring. I should’ve taken a picture before I mixed it all up because it was pretty and layered. The raspberry flavoring isn’t very strong, but the quality of the coffee is REALLY good. You can tell it’s good just by the color of it, that perfect toasty brown. Not too milky :)
These guys are fast and efficient! Don’t be worried about a line because it’s moving FAST. The employees are nice and pleasant and everyone’s smiling. There’s definitely regulars that go in because the person making the drinks was calling out their orders before they even ordered them lol the pastries looked delicious so I’ll be ordering one next time I go in. There’s some nice seating and looks like people enjoy going in there to work. I was in and out of there in less than 5min. Looking forward to another visit :)“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“Really lovely dining experience for my birthday celebration. Everyone’s very welcoming and friendly, there’s even a little handwritten card on the table which is really cute. Especially love the Squab en Croute and Quail Mandarino.“

“The service is wonderful! At the same time, the atmosphere inside and outside the store while enjoying your coffee or crepe is relaxing. A great getaway from our daily routine.“

“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.“

“Unique space. Great vibe. Vast selection of beverages. Tasty authentic cuisine. Fresh pastries. Five star service. A jewel of Harlem.“

“Great service, delicious iced coffee and matcha latte!“

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

“Fantastic gluten-free and dairy free options. The trays were all labeled with potential allergens and the staff helpfully pointed me towards the best dairy-free options. I had this brookie cookie/brownie hybrid dessert with really fun sprinkles. I also had a soy milk latte and my husband had a regular whole milk latte, and we both enjoyed them. There's a very small bench inside by the cash register but this is really a take out sort of tiny bakery. If you visit I'd recommend you plan to take your box of treats to a nearby park bench to sit and enjoy them. I loved my dessert here and plan to come back the next time I'm in NYC.“

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

“This spot hit every time!!!! The chicken sandwich is AMAZING!! with a nice cold fresh pineapple juice. Got the Bori vibes! I dont usually leave reviews but I HAD TO !! Thank u for the amazing customer service you guys are all super friendly! When im in hackensack ill def stop here again!“

“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“

“First time in NY wanted to find place near hotel for a nice breakfast that didnt break the bank. Place is perfect! Indoor & outdoor seating, clean, good food, reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommend it if you're near W 79th and Amsterdam.“

“It’s places like this that reminds us why we support businesses like this one. The workers are so cute and sweet! And the drinks and food are amazing. Everything is fresh and the cafe itself is just so cute. I wish this cafe and the owners so much success!“

“After breakfast at a local diner, I walked up to have another coffee at Madame BONTE on 84th street between 1st and 2nd. Street level is rather small with just a few stools on the right. Order counter is in the middle. Then I went downstairs to the wine bar area where there are lots of tables and chairs. There is also a good sized bar for the evening wine business.
Very comfortable area and there are also a few tables in an outdoor patio area but no one was there as too hot.“

“Recomendado 100%, deliciosa comida“

“Got the mango shaped ice. It was large enough for four people, the ice itself had very good mango flavor with some mango ice cream on top. I do wish there were slightly more toppings. I’m not sure if the mangoes were frozen vs fresh, but it was a good way to cap lunch in palisades“

“My boyfriend and I came here on a whim and were greeted with kindness upon entering by Chenet!☺ Shout out to her for her warmth, prompt assistance and recommendations! We would come back here for sure since the interior design/aesthetics of this place were gorgeous! On top of that, the vibe was immaculate and intimate around 7pm on a Saturday!🎉 It almost felt like VIP service! My boyfriend ordered the steak frites, I ordered the pistachio pasta and both were delicious! I like that they made the pasta not so salty and that I could adjust the salt to my liking with table salt. Also we ordered the sliders and they were good too! I highly recommend giving this place a visit, it's clean, beautiful and great customer service! Thanks again Chenet!!☺🎉 The drinks are also great btw!“

“Wow. Can’t even find the words to express how amazing this was. 100% worth everything. The service was amazing, such a sweet woman. We were well taken care of and the food is delicious. Will definitely be coming back next time we are near LIC!“

“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!“

“ottimo accogliente davvero speciale. consigliatissimo!“

“Go Go Jang is an absolute gem! I stopped in for a Dirty Matcha and a Caprese Panini, and both were outstanding. The Dirty Matcha was perfectly balanced—smooth, earthy matcha paired with rich espresso for a drink that was both energizing and delicious. It's one of the best matcha drinks I've had in a long time.

The Caprese Panini was equally impressive. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, with perfectly toasted bread and a wonderful combination of flavors. It was simple, satisfying, and prepared with care.

Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to relax, meet a friend, or get some work done. The attention to detail and quality really stand out. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

“La Promenade is awesome , food is amazing staff very helpful“
