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

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

“I was traveling for my studies, and it was incredible for the time I spent here. Our bartender was Frank, a great person. I won't forget him. This place is perfect for disconnecting and getting a good meal. Without a doubt, I'll be back on my next trip.“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“We absolutely love the Kurly Kurdish shop. I had a Kurly kone with cherry vanilla ice cream. This is the best sweet treat. I recommend everyone stop in and try one!“

“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!“

“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.“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

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

“Food was good and friendly customer service. I will recommend everyone this place.“

“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.“

“The vibe here is so cozy warm and friendly, but it's not the best for settling in and getting work done due to their 90 min policy.

The cafe is spacious and the drinks and pastries are delicious. I wanted to try the famous pistachio croissant but they were out at 2pm! So I got the pistachio muffin on my guy's rec. It's filled with pistachio butter. So delicious, pistachio lover's dream. Their hot chocolate is really rich and chocolatey too, not watery at all.

As for service, the reviews about wanting to be the baristas' best friend are accurate, they are very kind and caring people. The guy who took my order thoughtfully toasted my muffin without me even asking!“

“We're heading to a show at Rose Theater and wanted a quick bite and a glass of wine. Tartinery was perfect! They seated us in a reasonable time, no reservation needed and the food was delicious. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. The wine French and yummy. Highly recommend!“

“Diogo is the best! Drinks are so refreshing and hit the spot especially right after work. We arrived around 5:30 when the place just started to get busy. Diogo helped us grab a table so we didn’t need to stand at the bar after a long work day“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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.

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

“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 I could come back for every meal I would. From the hostess and host to the servers and food everything was beyond incredible.

Order the tasting menu. You’ll love every bit of it. The little details were incredible and every single member of their team went above and beyond. Will definitely be back as often as possible.“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“I am obsessed with Café Miguel's café de olla. I have been chasing the taste of that Mexican coffee since first trying it in Mexico City years ago, and theirs is incredible. The brunch line can be long, but it's worth it; the chilaquiles are delicious. I have no idea how they make so many different things so fast in that tiny, open air kitchen.“

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

“Varon is one of my favorite employees. Yesterday he made me some guacamole he was sooooooooooooooooo patient with me lol. Thank you Varon for being so great to meeeeeeeeeeeee.....“

“It is an amazing place with amazing people and CATS! 😻😽😻😽😻😽“

“I've been going here for years & it is so sweet--staff are always so nice & helpful, the coffee & pastries are great, and they do so much for the community its been amazing to see them grow. I usually sit in with a friend & it's my favorite part of the morning <3“

“We were seated in the back at some corner which was pretty uncomfortable to me as I felt claustrophobic there. There was an available table in the front. I asked to be seated there but they couldn’t because “it’s a table for three” and it was two of us. Interestingly, they could seat one person at the table for two and they could seat three persons at the table for four.“

“I've been to a lot of coffee shops in my life, and this is my favorite. The coffee is good, the service is super fast, and the employees are genuinely nice people.

But what really makes this place special is that it actually feels like a local community spot. There currently are only three people I've ever seen working behind the counter, and it was special to watch them expand from their tiny shop to a larger location.

So many coffee shops feel soulless, but this place is different...You can really tell they care about what they've built here. The design seems so thoughtful – there are these cute cartoon animals on the walls, and Tenz told me they put them there specifically so babies in strollers have something to look at while their parents wait in line. I feel lucky to live near a shop that so much care has been put into!“

“I took a sip of my friend’s strawberry matcha and it was really good. I think it’s on the sweeter side but that’s my preference for matcha. They have a lot of fun flavors like banana matcha and creative ones. If I were to get matcha from somewhere as someone who usually doesn’t like matcha because of the bitterness, I would go here for matcha and to try the different flavors.“

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

“The jammy eggs are quite literally THE JAM. This spot has little seating but things move pretty quickly. The service was incredible— such kind people who work here. The food was amazing. I had the kale Caesar (best Caesar dressing ever) and my partner had an egg sandwich. She said it was the best egg sandwich she has ever had… which is saying a ton!“

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

“Amazing coffee shop!“

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

“I absolutely loved this place!! I gifted a box of mini croffles to my friend to share with others and she said they tasted amazing. Perfect for my friend’s sweet tooth. I also ordered the injeolmi croffle for myself and this place might be my new fav cafe in New Jersey!!“

“Espresso drinks > drip coffee. As good as it gets in the area - minus the specialty places with third wave beans.

Great breakfast sandwiches — always piping hot, straight off the grill. Highly recommend - this is a local favorite for a reason.“

“I tried the Reuben and the strawberry rose iced matcha. The sandwich was fire, steaming hot and served within minutes, perfect ratio of meat to bread, and the bread itself was fresh and delicious. I could’ve used more sauerkraut but that’s a personal preference.“

“Love Healthy in Dyckman. It’s a gem in the Kingsbridge area where it’s possible to find good quality, healthy food. I particularly love their healthy egg wrap and chai latte. The staff is very sweet, and the place clean. The food is on the pricier side compared to the area, but it does justice to the quality. Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“This place is amazing! Their soft serve is so creamy, smooth and tasty! Made it into an affogato and it was 🧑🏻‍🍳💋. The staff here are also so friendly, highly recommend! Wish I lived closer so I could get it more often, but definitely a spot I’d go out of my way to go to with friends 🥰“

“So good - took me right back to Japan with their delicious coffee/specialty drinks! I didn’t love how the iced drinks were served in hot paper cups though - drinking and iced cold brew out of a cup with no straw for $7 is not my preference but otherwise the drinks are delicious! I tried the matcha latte and cold brew - both phenomenal.“

“Good quality, family-friendly, reasonable price. The owner was very friendly and accommodating to my two young children. They had fun in the cafe and enjoyed their very healthy smoothies. Would recommend to parents for an enjoyable and low-stress outing with healthy food for your kids“

“My wife and I had the most lovely date night here. Customer service - for me - is what makes a place stand out in NY. Every single employee was the absolute best. So passionate, insightful and kind.
But yes. The food is also superb. Each dish is a little art piece. You can tell you are eating something that has been lovingly tested and improved upon. Such a treat.
And then the drinks. I had never heard of a single spirit on the menu. Had a blast jumping around and being taken on a ride.
And good hand soap. Gotta love good hand soap.
So yeah. It’s great. Check it out.“

“Great coffee and baristas, but the screen free zone downstairs during the day is unnecessary when completely empty on most days. Do a time limit if you're concerned about turnover/dining or minimum spend. Would be great to have Turkish coffee back or a pour over option as well.“
