“soups are delicious, sandwiches yummy & bakery items mmmmmmm“

“My son and I had a nearby doctor appointment and put "breakfast near me" in the Google search... this delightful café came up... we took a chance and found it not only to be quality and sophisticated food, but a delightful ambience, friendly staff, visually pleasing food, baked goods and decor! even the bathroom was sweet! this is a new staple in my repertoire of breakfast/brunch and coffee spots. I expect to be a regular!“

“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.“

““Had a really great experience at Tartinery Café near Columbus Circle. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect for brunch and enjoying the city vibe.

The Roast Beef Tartine was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Great coffee, friendly service, and an overall very enjoyable spot in New York. Definitely a place we’d love to visit 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!“

“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!“

“Le Café Louis Vuitton was the perfect way to close out my wedding weekend. I got married on Saturday, and the only reservation I could secure was Sunday dinner for two—so I celebrated with my sister, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience. Hopefully I’ll be back with the hubby soon!

We did the Culinary Journey menu, which started with a beautiful amuse-bouche: a warm soup served with the LV monogram. It was delicious, comforting, and surprisingly homey. It was such an inviting way to begin the meal. Drinks were ok—we got the lychee highball and passion twist.

Our server recommended the ravioli, and I’m so glad we listened. The mushroom and truffle flavors were bold and earthy in the best way (exactly how I like them), making it a standout course. The ceviche was more of a refreshing palate cleanser—light, bright, and tasty.

For mains, both the chicken and filet mignon were great. The chicken had an incredible sauce and perfectly crispy skin. The filet mignon was absolutely delicious and cooked beautifully, tender and flavorful throughout.

The complimentary sides truly stole the show. I would order the broccolini with its subtle hint of heat and the mashed potatoes again and again—they were SO good and easily some of the best parts of the meal.

Dessert was indulgent. The chocolate entremet was rich but not overly sweet, while the hazelnut entremet tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher—decadent, nostalgic, and satisfying.

To make the night even more special, we were surprised with complimentary chocolates and a small vanilla treat in celebration of my wedding, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch.

From the food to the service, everything felt intentional and celebratory. Le Café LV delivered not just an exceptional meal, but a genuinely joyful experience—one I’ll always associate with a very special moment in my life. 💍✨

03/13/26 Update: Returned for dinner and had another 10/10 experience! The service is incredibly consistent and just as attentive as the first time.

We did the Culinary Journey again—Crab Louis, Black Bass, and the Chocolate Monogram to finish. The amuse-bouche and sides were once again a hit and really set the tone for the meal.

For drinks, the Capucine Twist was excellent and I’d definitely recommend it over the Highball.

Always a great experience here. Can’t wait to try breakfast/afternoon tea!“

“Vale’s Kafe & Kitchen is a hidden gem in Union City. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, like you’re visiting a friend. The service is professional and attentive. The food … oh so good! Clean and flavorful. The portions are just right, not outrageous. The coffee is also very good. The only setback I see is the entrance is not
accessible. I would suggest a ramp for those customers that have difficulty walking up/down steps. Also hours could be extended, say to include dinner on the weekend (Fri/Sat). Otherwise a must see.“

“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.“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

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

“Benjamin was truly the best of the best. He greeted me with a warm smile and was very patient, even taking my orders with care. He really was the real deal. He served me hot chocolate and a croissant, and he even gave me a cup to enjoy the rest of my chocolate on the go. I’ll definitely come back again because of the top-tier service he provided. Bravo, Tartinery!“

“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!!!“

“Awesome little spot, would highly recommend. Literally tasted like it was home cooking. The everything bagel with lox was great, but the chicken with rice and beans was my favorite. Chicken was fall off the bone tender and melted in my mouth, with a kick of flavor from house-made salsa verde and some heat for good measure. I was also surprised that such a small place had amazing coffee as well. I only wish I had a bigger appetite that day so I could have had the ruben sandwich! Looking forward to coming again. Yaseen is an amazing owner!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“There are places you go… and then there are places you experience. ETERI is the latter.

From the moment you walk in, you feel it—the design, the energy, the attention to every detail. It’s one of those rare spaces where everything just works. Effortless, elevated, and incredibly inviting.

The coffee? Best best best.
The Coquito? Non-negotiable. Get it!!

But what really makes ETERI stand out is that nothing feels random. From the design to the service, everything is top notch. It’s curated, intentional, and done with a level of care you don’t come across often.

Whether you live there or you’re just visiting, this isn’t just a stop—it’s a place you’ll want to come back to again and again.

My girlfriends and I visited and stayed in that area for 4 days and went there everyday for coffee. People who live there are so lucky!“

“Had a book club meet up with my friends and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. The music was nice but not too loud. The drinks were great, I ordered the milo latter with coffee and was delicious. I want to go back to try the coquito latte! I also had a arepa de yuca with cheese on top it was so good! The staff is awesome! Definitely coming back!“

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

“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“

“Beautiful array of pastries“

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

“I’ve never seen so many gluten free options before! I came here with my friend who is gluten free and it was like she was a kid in a candy store. She was beyond happy and I had the gluten free cake pops which were amazing! The people working are so beyond sweet too!! Highly recommend!!“

“First time sitting and having a meal here and it was a mixed bag. I had always wanted to try the Lumberjack which I got and it is actually way lighter than I expected. It satisfied my sweet and savory cravings in one and the cruller was delightful as always. My mom had ordered the Beet & Quinoa salad, they were out of beet which they replaced with avocado. And my dad got the chickpea veggie sandwich. Both classic café meals but nothing exceptional and pricey for what you are getting. Lastly, the cold brew was okay would not get again.“

“Madam Bonte is a hidden gem! The coffee is my favorite in the city (and they make their own oatmilk)! The atmosphere is calm and serene- upstairs is great for doing work and downstairs is huge has a beautiful little garden. The food is delicious! Highly recommend - is my favorite nyc coffee shop!“

“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.“

“The best of the best pasta place. And you MUST try the jambalaya!!! The vibe was amazing and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Great food at very reasonable prices — honestly the best value for what you get. Left completely satisfied. 10/10, will definitely be back!“

“We ordered red bean croffle and ear grey tiramisu. The good thing are: the croffle was made fresh and wasn't sweet, so does the tiramisu. The issue wit earl grey tiramisu I don't really get that earl grey that much.

We also ordered yuzu greet tea and matcha latte. They was ok. Not a big place so during weekend not much place to sit. Service the lady on the counter just ignored me while standing there for 5 min until I called out. ....not very friendly experience“

“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’ve been here a couple times before and the staff has always been very friendly and nice. Their pastries are good and so are their non coffee drinks. The music isn’t too loud and gives it a nice atmosphere to chat with your friends or study. I need to come here more often!!“

“I love this place. I have gotten the bread pudding, and the stuffed eggplant, both are delicious. The young girl working was also so sweet. I highly recommend. The only thing is that I wish they were open later, but I’m glad we made it in time.

I highly recommend this Greek gem. Thank you.“

“Such a pretty place. I felt so welcome here ☺️ the dessert display so yummy. The desserts are delicious. Owner very nice 👌 👍 I would definitely come back. Such a tranquil and serene atmosphere. Parking is very accessible. A hidden gem so worth your trip. Everyone must try this great little cafe.“

“I got the mango/matcha soft serve! Needless to say, this was one of the most delicious matcha desserts I have had in a long time! I'm a matcha enthusiast and I have been to Maiko before but never had their soft serve. This was exactly what I needed to satisfy my sweet tooth! The flavor is sweet enough and the matcha really come through - I can compare the flavor profile to Chigi no shiro by Marukyu Koyamaen. Overall, this was a perfect dessert for an extreamly warm day in NYC“

“★★★★★

My usual weekend cafecito spot. The team is always attentive, kind, and genuinely some of the sweetest folks in the neighborhood.

I usually get the espresso or the chai, both consistently excellent. They also offer oat milk, which is great for those of us who are lactose intolerant.

Great desserts, fresh croissants, and a wide range of drinks. One of my go-to neighborhood gems.“

“best coffee shop in Manhattan 😊“

“Just checked out Nourish, a new restaurant in the South Bronx, and it exceeded expectations. The decor is beautiful, the music sets the perfect vibe, and the overall ambiance makes it a great spot to unwind or meet up with friends.

Our server, King, was incredibly attentive and made sure everything came out perfectly. We ordered cocktails, sliders, and steak — and every single dish was spot on. The food, drinks, and service all came together for a really great experience.

Definitely a new gem in the South Bronx. Looking forward to going back!“

“I would rather swallow poison than anyone else's cappuccino. Best coffee, vibe of any cafe in Westchester. Staff is super cool and I love the music they play. I am not cool but I feel cool when I'm in there.“

“My god! The chocolate temptation and pistachio cakes are to LIVE for - they made me totally forget about my work stress and take a moment to indulge in a sweet moment, literally gave me new life. Service is warm and friendly, quick, and the pasta is delicious! Glad I found this charming little restaurant near Mount Sinai hospital, so I know where I can get a delicious meal to help me through labor and delivery. 😝“

“A brilliantly run little spot on 9th Avenue. I’ve honestly never seen such flawless logistics and such effortless coordination among the staff. Everything works with incredible speed and ease, yet without any chaos. On top of that — really excellent food, and a line of people waiting for a table… even in the rain.

Absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!“

“Great space! Tasty coffee, bright space, and kind staff. They offer free WiFi and it's a great place to work. It's not the largest space, so they ask customers limit their time to 2 hours, which is reasonable! I would come back for some other drinks.

Note - it's on the second floor of the building w/o an elevator.“

“We are visiting from Miami and stumbled upon this hidden gem. We ordered blueberry pancakes , 2 egg platers and a breakfast sandwich and everything was a 10/10. I got myself a mushroom coffee which was interesting , very good as well. The place is small and homey. The staff was very kind and welcoming. They have a variety of options on the menu & they even have vegan protein powder to make shakes. The hash browns and eggs were delicious and were not greasy at all. Fast service . If you are looking for some good breakfast or quick sandwich / wrap / smoothies check them out .“

“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.“
