“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Popped in for a quick latte while waiting for a friend — ended up chilling way longer than planned. Cozy downstairs, peaceful backyard, and super fresh coffee. Baha, the barista, was incredibly kind and made the whole place feel extra welcoming. A total gem in the Upper East Side. Saved and starred!“

“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.“

“I live right down the block, and Tenz is hands down my favorite coffee. First off the owner is so friendly and remembered my order w in 2 times of going, and it’s always delicious. But beyond that it’s the most affordable coffee I’ve come across and a bonus somehow they are always playing bangers. Try them out you will not be disappointed!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Gorgeous presentation. Got the limited cherry blossom x peach swirl. Ice cream itself is not too sweet but that parfait is 72 g of sugar all together.

Second visit: matcha and Ube ice cream on a waffle cone with sprinkled hojicha powder (available at the pickup counter). The cone is actually a lot of ice cream at once.“

“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.“

“Convenient life, beautiful night scene.“

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

“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.“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

“best currants roll, canele, curry puff, cookies cakes alll soooo delicious. All freshly made. Vegan, vegetarian, organic, sugar-free, gluten-free and more! check her out in Ditmars Astoria“

“Absolutely love this place! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the warm, comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and a genuinely welcoming vibe. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always remembers my order — a small touch that goes a long way. The coffee itself is top-notch: rich, smooth, and clearly made with care. I also appreciate the cozy atmosphere — perfect for working, reading, or catching up with friends. Their food is delicious too (highly recommend the avocado toast!). Easily one of the best coffee spots in town.“

“I stopped by this little coffee shop on a whim, and wow, I’m so glad I did! The coffee and bagels were amazing and the owner is the nicest person ever. Super friendly and made me feel so welcome, like I’d been coming here forever. The place has such a cozy vibe, and the pastries. Don’t even get me started—so good! Definitely my new go-to spot. If you’re in the area, you HAVE to check it out!“

“Every once in a while you find a place that makes you feel like a kid again in the most beautiful way. This place is one of those places. Everything is perfect. The food, the vibes, the people. My only complaint is that I had to leave and go home afterwards. The most wonderful little cafe you will come across.“

“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.“

“The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My juice was amazing and I topped it off with a veggie patty. I will definitely be back!“

“We are new to the neighborhood and this already ranks as a regular spot. The paninis were perfectly warm, crispy, flavorful. The lattes were hot and customized to our preferences. The service was kind and upbeat. Will have to come back for breakfast!“

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

“I visited on a Wednesday morning with 2 other people and we were quickly seated and waited on. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and the iced mocha was unmatched (a perfect combination of cocoa and sweetness). I’m still dreaming about the quality of food and will be back if I’m in the area!“

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

“Delish coffee, pastries and service“

“I just noticed that this place offers breakfast, and was able to try it yesterday. I was impressed! Really enjoyed the omelette, and the decor and atmosphere was pleasant. Definitely has a European vibe to it. Free refills on the coffee would have made it perfect, but otherwise a 5 out of 5 experience!“

“Great Israeli food and fantastic ☕️ coffee!“

“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 :)“

“LITTLE FLOWER IS THE BEST CAFE EVERRR! They are so much more than just a cafe though, it's more like a movement or way of life for me at this point LOL. I love their food, their activism, and how they show up for our neighborhood. I have tried various things on their menu and it is all my favorite LOL! I typically get a cold brew and some kind of food. My go to is their guava pancakes and egg sandwich. Their pastries are phenomenal too. You need to do yourself a favor and visit! The staff are the sweetest most genuine people on earth. I love our little chats. Ok this review is already so long-- ILY LF!“
