50 Best Cafes near Fairview

“This place is the best! The food was delicious! Good, simple ingredients, and tasted great. We had the lengua and tripe, which was great. And the Pepian pumpkin dish was so refreshing! Came with my elderly parents. The staff were so kind and patient with them, it blessed all of us. 10 stars for service, and kindness.“

“Great service David was helpful. The biscuit egg sandwich was very good and the hash browns nice and thin as I enjoyed. They gave me pot of coffee without asking but otherwise I'll try something else next time“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“Lovely place , Nice people , really good cakes. THANK YOuu (with french accens 😉)“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“I have been going here for years and absolutely love it. Service is always fabulous but today I was blown away. I ordered for pick up and was pulled into a meeting, causing me to come get my iced drink and hot sandwich 1 hour later than I was supposed to, leaving the drink melted and the breakfast sandwich cold. When I got there, Pedro didnt hesitate to offer to remake everything fresh for me. In a day where everything wasnt going my way, this gesture from him meant a lot to me.“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon and ended up enjoying one of the most comforting meals I’ve had in a while. The tortilla soup completely stole the show — rich, flavorful, perfectly thick, and packed with crispy blue corn tortilla pieces in every bite. Honestly wished they had a bigger bowl because it disappeared fast.

Tried the bean & epazote tetelas on the side and they paired so well with the soup. Also shared the black bean avocado tlayudita and chilaquiles — both fresh, satisfying, and full of flavor. The chilaquiles do get a bit pricey once you add the extras, but the taste made it worth it for us.

Came around 2 PM on a Sunday and still found outdoor seating easily, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and unhurried. Great food, warm atmosphere, and one of those places you leave already thinking about coming back to.“

“Great experience at Tartinery Cafe located in the lower level food court of the incredible Grand Central Station! High quality fresh ingredients, healthy options, and all tasting delicious. We tried the soup and open sandwich deal - trying all three different soups - Lentil, butternut squash, and mushrooms, all were amazing and would recommend. With a friendly team of staff, it makes the perfect lunch spot in NYC!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“best truffle fries and yummy sauces for the burgers. Great people i will come back to this place with more friends“

“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.“

“Today we dined at one of the nicest and most affordable little restaurants in Brooklyn. The charm and the quality of the food are unbeatable.

I urge everyone who stops by here to give this place a try—it’s a real gem.

Thank you for the delicious breakfast and the incredibly friendly service.

We’ll definitely be back—and we can’t wait!“

“Easily our best meal in NY. An intimate and relaxed setting with the most delicious food. We were hosted by Natalie, Eamon and Ryan who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Every aspect of this place, from the food, to the venue, to the service has been carefully considered. We can't wait to go back on our next trip.“

“What a delightful little breakfast/brunch place!!! We went here straight from the airport on our way into town, luggage and all, and it was perfect! We sat in the little outside area with the fans because the A/C was broken inside. My mom ordered the Grey Dog’s Breakfast with her eggs scrambled, French toast, and bacon, and it’s served with home fries. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant minus the parsley (not my fave) and added bacon. I’m picky about my home fries, so the server offered me french fries instead. We had exactly zero complaints about our meal. The portions are big, the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the French toast had this sweet butter with it that I can’t even compare to anything because it was so unique and delicious. The home fries ended up being DELICIOUS. The French fries were also good. I enjoyed the seasoning on them as well. I’m not a big fan of the thing shoe string fries, but these were good! The three employees we encountered were all very friendly and I would be more than happy to eat here again any time.“

“✨ It has such a beautiful, luxurious dining atmosphere. My server, Jose, was incredibly nice and attentive. My coffee was initially cold, but he immediately replaced it and also suggested some great food options. Excellent service, beautiful ambiance, and a lovely overall dining experience! ☕🍽“

“New York is one of the world's great cities, a global center for media, entertainment, arts, fashion, research, finance and trade. This busy, modern city is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the world and the most populous city in the United States.“

“Had a great experience at Lost Draft Coffee Shop in NYC! I ordered a latte and was really impressed with the flavor. It had a smooth, rich taste with just the right balance of espresso and oak milk, making it a really enjoyable drink from the first sip to the last. I got it with an extra shot and no additional flavors so I got a nice true taste of it all.

The shop has a great atmosphere and is a perfect spot to stop in for a quality coffee while exploring the city. You can tell they take pride in what they serve, and the latte definitely delivered.

If you’re looking for a good coffee spot in NYC, I definitely recommend giving Lost Draft a try. I’ll be back for another latte next time I’m in the area!“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“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!“

“My husband and I were in town to visit friends & found Vale's Kafe, The food was amazing, healthy portions, the coffe was perfect 😊and the service was great. The owners served us & they were so kind. The place was packed and I can understand why. This will definitely be a new place when we come back to visit.“

“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.“

“This is a 10/10 breakfast spot. I’ve never had Nepalese food before, and Cafe Catmandoo blew me away. I had the Catmandoo Breakfast special and I’m not usually a fan of chickpeas but I ate the ENTIRE thing. Staff is very friendly, they accommodated our large party of 9 people within 10-15 minutes. This is a must try!!!“

“This was our first time eating at Tartinery. There are several items to choose from on the menu. I ordered the Roast Beef Tartine and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were absolutely delicious. The concrete countertops around the restaurant were a nice touch. The staff was incredibly friendly while also providing fast service. We will absolutely visit again when we are in New York.“

“Had the pleasure of eating here today with my family. What a wonder experience! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, beautiful opera being played lightly in the background, and the food was amazing with large portions. Would absolutely recommend! We will definitely be coming back on our next trip to NY!“

“An incredible meal. The fresh and seasonal ingredients provide inspiration for the changing menu items. We had an array of starters and bites, with standouts being the cabbage Caesar, squash tart, and mortadella skewers. The fried pickles and ricotta toast were also tasty. The service was great, the team was friendly, attentive and helped answered all our questions.“

“Delicious no words to describe the authentic taste of the food
The best place to go for coffee and breakfast in the area and Brooklyn for far
I always try something new and it’s just so special
Staff is the best great hospitality and all the items they have for specials they are delicious!“

“It is pricey for the size. But it is plenty strong and caffeinated to make up for it. I do like that it has different flavor note than other viet iced coffees I've had at other places. Friendly owner, will return to try other drinks“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“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!“

“Hey small place that sells homemade chai! I hit this place a number of times when I was in town and really really loved it. Go see Chris and have his amazing homemade chai!“

“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!“

“My opinion is 9.1/10. Def lived up to hype. I had the yuzu, has a lemon flavor and I did enjoy it. If back in the area would try other flavors I heard the boba is what they are know for.

“I love everything about Meow Parlor…especially Mama and Papa, the cat beds they make ( I now own 7) & daughter & hubby. AND BABY CORN, of course (& new friend Sid)—please please like, follow & subscribe to videos of the sweetest wobbly kitten in the world!“

“After a day of sightseeing in NYC, we decided to check out Hoboken for a quick bite. Found this place that looked pretty cheery inside. We ordered two chef bowls, bulgogi and the beef bowl. The beef was juicy, but a bit overcooked for my taste, but the rest of the bowl was very tasty! The Bulgogi bowl was outstanding! Meat was flavorful, but not overpowering like what bulgogi usually tends to be. Staff was very kind and inviting!“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“I dream about this place!!! I love the Breakfast special( literally if you don’t get this sandwich what are you doing???), the manager/owner is so so kind and welcoming, I always feel like family when I’m here. I love this place and when I come back to New York this is definitely on the need to visit list.“

“Absolutely fantastic dining experience at Da Adriano! The food was fresh, authentic, and full of incredible flavor. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the quality really stood out. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious Italian cuisine—I can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!“

“It’s flavorful and doesn’t have all that extra sugar. Easy to make. I love the recipes people are sending in as well!“
