I love love love coming here!!!! Very kid friendly! You can tell they really care about their business because of all of the attention to detail within their market! <3 We even have our mompreneur meetings here!!“

“I went this morning for breakfast and even though it was packed (due to their great quality and service) they managed to give my party and me a table as soon as one was available. The food was amazing and the service as usual with Colombians, pretty good!

You HAVE to try their bread… it DOES taste like real Colombian bread.

Will be back for sure!“

“My new favorite spot in forest hills! I tried a brown butter banana matcha latte and it was so delicious! Also had their Nutella croffle which was so good! Will be back to try their other drinks but overall a great spot to hang with friends or have a solo cafe date. It does get pretty busy in there but the line moves quick. There’s also a decent amount of seating.“

“I've been a loyal customer at Coffee Shot for about 3 years now & words are not enough to explain how much i love it there! The atmosphere is very calming and luxurious, each and every one of the staff are so caring and attentive of the customers[ Alex makes the most delicious & sweet lattes], and the drinks, pastries & sandwiches are so good. Its a 10/10 for me 😊“

“Wonder is a fantastic addition to Austin Street. The facility is always spotless, which I really appreciate. The service is consistently friendly, making the pickup process very smooth. Even when ordering from multiple menus, the food comes out fast and well-packaged. Highly recommend for a quick and easy dinner!“

“My staff, friends and I have been to this place years ago and that the staff ordered grilled chicken sandwich from this store. The service was wonderful, and the atmosphere was that there were people watching the tv, helping, out, and many other things.“

“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 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.“

“Genuinely one of the best dishes I’ve ever tried. La tlayudita con aguacate y frijoles negros. The simple, clean combination of flavors paired with an excellent chili oil and flaky, crunchy preparation of the tlayudita itself? Just perfect. The tetela was also just perfect, loved the texture, cheese, and salty salsa verde.

I came here on another occasion for a blue corn queso fresco quesadilla and a mushroom taco. Have to say, the flavor here is clean and hearty. There’s a simplicity to each dish, such that the flavors are balanced and not always hit-me-over-the-head intense. Not my first choice for a taco, but absolutely the one place I’ll come to for a tetela or tlayudita. I love that For All Things Good exists.“

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

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

“I love this place, it’s so delicious and the staff is so nice! I just wish my coffee orders here would be a little more consistent. Here is a photo of two vanillas cortados (same order) ordered at the exact same time, drastically different taste and milk to shot ratio.“

“I always passed by this place whenever I walk through the shops at Columbus Circle, but today I actually stopped by to sit and eat. It was actually super affordable, especially the lunch special with the soup and the small sandwich. My server, Christian, was very polite and helpful and I would definitely come here again! The ham and swiss sandwich was a taaaaad too spicy with the dijon mustard, but beyond that - honestly super good! Especially the butternut squash soup! :D“

“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!“

“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.

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

Good prices too!“

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

“Frank is amazing and so attentive and engaging! In a bustling location like Grand Central, a host, server and bar tender needs to be able to balance socializing and fast service, and Frank’s a master at this. I’m glad to see his face when I am able to stop for a glass of wine or bite to eat!“

“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 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!“

“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!!!“

“Their chicken karaage bento box was filling and delicious. The garden was a relaxing area to eat.
9/13 Went back today and I ordered the Chicken Nanban Bento Box. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, with a nice sweet and sour sauce. The egg tartar sauce on top was also delicious and paired really well with the chicken. Overall, it was another delicious meal!“

“Service is very friendly and prompt. Atmosphere is very airy and bright. They have a wide selection of great pastries, breakfast and light lunches.“

“A wonderful bakeshop in the neighborhood! Such a gem! I love their selections of cakes and pies! My favorite is the chicken pie and banana pudding. Mary also makes the best chocolate cake and chocolate mousse. Everyone there is friendly and treats you like a family.“

“The Kala tea was soooo good.
Drip coffee and croissant were great too. The crew were great.... and correcting us nicely when we moved the stools to the waiting area. 😁

Just wishing the space is bigger.“

“Kind staff, good selection of drinks and food is great. Definitely worth sitting in store for the atmosphere, small, quiet and comfy. Recommended for small groups or to sit and do some work on your computer. Usually not so busy, the wait for food can be 15-20 mins +“

“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!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

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

“super charming little cafe with great coffee and really nice vibes. plants everywhere and people are super nice. i’d like to come back for the matcha. get beans to take home. the whole spot feels cozy, perfect for hanging out or grabbing a cup and just enjoying the mood if you can get a seat - not much seating but nice to hang out. would go again for sure, such a gem.“

“The BLT was off the hook. Came with a nice side salad. My kids loved the corn muffins (though one said it ran a little salty). Great food and coffee but it was the atmosphere that made this place stand out to me. Lots of big plants and great music — cozy but fresh; felt like we were in Costa Rica.“

“Omg that actually was the best salad i’ve ever had in my life. I got the salmon noicose salad and everything mixed together perfectly. I recommended not getting the olive dressing on it, I got it on the side and the salad was still very wet and delicious without extra oil. The salmon was crisp and soft at the same time, the tomatoes and veggies so fresh i would 100% come back.“

“The food was good. I had a E-Classic“

“The atmosphere is modern, yet cozy and comfortable. The fresh pasta and imported foods are excellent. Can’t wait to try a homemade cannoli!“

“I had left a first review but the coffee was great and the barista was so nice and detail oriented on my second visit that I had to edit this to let you know that this place is a great coffee shop. The music volume is exactly the level to listen to the songs and be able to talk to other people, the chocolate chip cookie was tasty and if you like flavored lattes, there is a great selection of syrups. I'm more of a flat white person and it was done perfectly.“

“The coffee was absolutely delicious, and the macarons were SO adorable I almost didn’t want to eat them! The shop itself is beautiful—so cozy, intimate, and peaceful. It genuinely feels like a little getaway from the city where you can slow down and relax for a while. The owner is also wonderful and makes the space feel even more welcoming. Such a hidden gem. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the food! 🤍“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was amazing, and the people were awesome! Definitely a must go place for a delicious breakfast spot.“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

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

“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!“

“My first time here I had the combo with half chicken salad sandwich and chestnut and mushroom soup. It sounded very earthy, but everything was light and delicate, and very flavorful with well balanced seasonings. My iced Cortado was also very good. The half and half combo made an excellent lunch. It looked like the whole sandwiches were generous portions. Bright and spacious and casual atmosphere.“
