“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!“

Everything was absolutely delicious!“

If you want a relaxed place to drink coffee, this is a great place!
Highly recommend.“

“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.“

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

“OMA Coffee has a really nice modern café vibe — minimalist, clean, and relaxing despite being in the middle of busy New York. The coffee was smooth and enjoyable, and the space itself felt cozy enough to slow down for a while.

Not necessarily the most unforgettable coffee spot in the city, but definitely a solid place for a good cup of coffee, casual conversations, or just taking a little break from walking around NYC.

Simple, aesthetic, and easy to like.“

“So I gotta be honest, as a native New Yorker I was very turned off by this place because of the prices and the obvious gentrification vibe (I’m sorry I had to say it) but I decided to give it a try since I’m always looking in while waiting for the 33 bus.

I gotta say I was just pleasantly surprised.

The quality is honestly outstanding and I truly appreciate the care put into this classic burrito! The eggs are fluffy, the tortilla looks and tastes homemade, the caramelized onions give it a nice sweetness, and there’s a pleasant crunch from tortilla chips! And the mild salsa? AMAZING they should honestly sell it, it’s that good.

The coffee is also pleasantly good quality and my cappuccino was perfectly sweetened by the adorable barista.

HOWEVER, I gotta deduct one star from the lack of some salt and flavor IM SORRY. The salsa was doing alot of heavy lifting here. Also it took a hot minute to get my food while the place was empty and my burrito wasn’t really hot…a little weird. Thankfully still made my bus and was able to eat my burrito right away.

Overall would definitely come back to try the Caesar salad wrap, other burritos, and more cappuccinos!

Edit: yall got me and I’m changing my rating to 5 stars. Love to support a native nyer business!
I’ve tried the salad wraps now and I will definitely be a regular 😊“
