I’ll keep patronizing this establishment for their service, their food, and chill atmosphere. WiFi is free and the people are warm and friendly. Stop by and see. ❤️😍❤️“

“I love this restaurant the food is awesome good service classic Colombian food I love the rice with coconut that is the best rice that I ever had and the soup ajiaco that is the best soup they have. You have to order 20 minutes before you get there it takes a little while but it's worth waiting or call ahead if you're really hungry“

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

“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.“

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

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“I had a great experience with Wonder! The food was fresh, flavorful, and arrived hot. Everything was packaged well, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The ordering process was easy, and the service was quick and reliable. I’ll definitely be ordering from Wonder again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and convenient meal.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I was there for a meet and greet and loved staying a few extra minutes to pet the dogs in the cafe. Such a nice break in my day!“

“This place is a tiny little jam with great service and small bites. Everything was tasty from the Hamon to the Wago beef tartar, Hamachi crudo, Seabass ceviche and the spaghetti. Wines were excellent, especially the Chablis and Chateauneuf-du-pape. Place ain’t cheap so fasten your seatbelts.“

“The best Algerian restaurant in NYC, no doubt 🥰“

“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 😊“

“Awesome service from Q , Maite, Kayla , and Kendall helped me figure out what I wanted to order , recommended me maple syrup iced matcha it was delicious and also pairing it up with white chocolate macadamia cookie very delicious. Definitely will come back again atmosphere 10/10 everyone is super kind and friendly. Definitely recommend TheLostDaft.“

“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!“

“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“

“Arrived early for a two-person reservation on a hot summer New York night, fresh off the excitement of the Knicks parade - we didn’t catch it but the energy was palpable.

Even though our table wasn’t ready (we were a full hour early after all), the hostess was kind enough to help us pick out a chenin blanc to enjoy inside before being seated outside.

While the burger was absolutely delicious, the highlight of the evening was our server, Hunter. He struck the perfect balance of being attentive and giving us space, allowing us to enjoy our conversation without interruption. Somehow, he always seemed to appear at exactly the right moment whenever we needed something.

Exceptional service, great food, and a wonderful experience all around. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Love their cold brew coffee，If you’re looking for a charming place with a great atmosphere, you can’t pass HI-Collar up.“

“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)“

“The food is absolutely fabulous. It is presented beautifully. We were going to go to the place next door, but due to the wait there, we ended up at Good Thanks. Such a delightful mistake. So much so that we came down again all the way from East Harlem to come back once more before the end of our trip. This is a must visit.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Great matcha ice cream! The spot is super tiny with just one table where you sit and enjoy your dessert. It's probably good for a grabbing a cone and going. Matches super concentrated, perfect color. It's nested inside a kyuramen spot!“

“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“

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

“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 :)“

“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 best in the neighborhood!“

“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!!!“

“Lovely atmosphere and did my breakie the way this Australia gal likes it. Hope the new location does well!“

“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.“
