“This place is ALWAYS super fresh and unbelievably delicious!! Love the friendly atmosphere and incredible coffee ☕️! My go to for breakfast every time I’m passing through!“

“The best of the best avocado toast I’ve ever had in my life!! Looks like a huge portion, but salad is pretty light, the bread is not too hard as usually avocado toast is, and super easily to cut, the dressing is so tasty. Would love to be back when I travel to NYC again.“

“La Nueva Bakery is an amazing place. The bakery items are delicious, always fresh, and full of flavor. Their cakes are beautiful and well made — each one feels unique and carefully crafted. The service is excellent, with friendly and attentive staff that make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The space itself is cozy and inviting, perfect for enjoying a coffee and something sweet. I especially love coming here for their classic Colombian and Uruguayan bakery, which is hard to find and always so well done. Highly recommended — it’s definitely a place you’ll want to visit again.“

“Anoche fui a El Paisa Bar y la pasé increíble. La comida estuvo deliciosa, como hecha en casa, y la música estuvo buenísima, me hizo sentir en mi tierra. El ambiente es súper alegre, lleno de buena energía, y el servicio fue rápido y amable. Definitivamente, un lugar al que quiero volver con mis amigos para pasar un rato chévere.“

“Amazing place, the food was PERFECT. I definitely would return just for the food. The service is very good, it didn't take long for the food to come out, splendid. The atmosphere is interesting, very unique. It wasn't very spacious, but yer could definitely eat your food in peace, so that's great. Overall this place is a very nice place with the cooks' skills honed to perfection.“

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

“Lots of board games, events all the time and very price efficient memberships for regulars. The two private rooms have their own temperature regulation for different preferences and going solo is an option because there’s usually staff open to playing with you, though I highly suggest bringing friends. I like their drinks :)“

“Such a great spot! Not just because of the quality masa, delicious fillings, and casual atmosphere, but they also carry great agave spirits (I had some Amatiteña blanco during my last visit, and even the price point was... *Drum roll ... On point (Thank you! I'll let myself out).“

“Incredible Cubano, excellent frozen margarita 👍🏻“

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

“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)“

“Nice environment, relaxing music, love the chicken sandwich and lamb Haneeth sandwich waffle fries are delicious I’m hooked on brown sugar cardemon iced coffee and service is always with a Smile no indoor seating yet but they do have limited outdoor seating a must try other foods and beverages available 😃“

“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.“

“Perfect 5 star review. Since the moment I ented I only encountered great customer service, I had a great talk with one of the workers and he served me a pink lemonade and a cookie. Even though the order was simple, the execution and taste left a lasting impression. The atmosphere felt cozy and sweet. Will definitely come back again!“

“Le Café Louis Vuitton was the perfect way to close out my wedding weekend. I got married on Saturday, and the only reservation I could secure was Sunday dinner for two—so I celebrated with my sister, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience. Hopefully I’ll be back with the hubby soon!

We did the Culinary Journey menu, which started with a beautiful amuse-bouche: a warm soup served with the LV monogram. It was delicious, comforting, and surprisingly homey. It was such an inviting way to begin the meal. Drinks were ok—we got the lychee highball and passion twist.

Our server recommended the ravioli, and I’m so glad we listened. The mushroom and truffle flavors were bold and earthy in the best way (exactly how I like them), making it a standout course. The ceviche was more of a refreshing palate cleanser—light, bright, and tasty.

For mains, both the chicken and filet mignon were great. The chicken had an incredible sauce and perfectly crispy skin. The filet mignon was absolutely delicious and cooked beautifully, tender and flavorful throughout.

The complimentary sides truly stole the show. I would order the broccolini with its subtle hint of heat and the mashed potatoes again and again—they were SO good and easily some of the best parts of the meal.

Dessert was indulgent. The chocolate entremet was rich but not overly sweet, while the hazelnut entremet tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher—decadent, nostalgic, and satisfying.

To make the night even more special, we were surprised with complimentary chocolates and a small vanilla treat in celebration of my wedding, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch.

From the food to the service, everything felt intentional and celebratory. Le Café LV delivered not just an exceptional meal, but a genuinely joyful experience—one I’ll always associate with a very special moment in my life. 💍✨

03/13/26 Update: Returned for dinner and had another 10/10 experience! The service is incredibly consistent and just as attentive as the first time.

We did the Culinary Journey again—Crab Louis, Black Bass, and the Chocolate Monogram to finish. The amuse-bouche and sides were once again a hit and really set the tone for the meal.

For drinks, the Capucine Twist was excellent and I’d definitely recommend it over the Highball.

Always a great experience here. Can’t wait to try breakfast/afternoon tea!“

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

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

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and the service was great and attentive! Had a cappuccino with oat milk and a breakfast plate with avocado toast and French toast to share. Very flavorful meal and the espresso was amazing.

I also really loved how they decorated the place with a variety of portraits and positive affirmations around the cafe!

Will definitely visit again next time with friends and family to try out more food options and drinks! :)“

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

“Just ate here. I had a mocha and a pollo asado taco and a coke. The taco was really good! My only complaint was that I didn’t order a second taco! 🤤😂😁“

“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!“

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

“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.

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“My husband and i found this place after needing food from traveling. 1,000% recommend, the flavor combinations are delicious. I had a Vicky Velcro and a fresh squeezed OJ (pictured). He had the Madame and loved it! If in the area you have to check them out.“

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

“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“

“Benjamin was truly the best of the best. He greeted me with a warm smile and was very patient, even taking my orders with care. He really was the real deal. He served me hot chocolate and a croissant, and he even gave me a cup to enjoy the rest of my chocolate on the go. I’ll definitely come back again because of the top-tier service he provided. Bravo, Tartinery!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome little spot, would highly recommend. Literally tasted like it was home cooking. The everything bagel with lox was great, but the chicken with rice and beans was my favorite. Chicken was fall off the bone tender and melted in my mouth, with a kick of flavor from house-made salsa verde and some heat for good measure. I was also surprised that such a small place had amazing coffee as well. I only wish I had a bigger appetite that day so I could have had the ruben sandwich! Looking forward to coming again. Yaseen is an amazing owner!“

“Great service, delicious iced coffee and matcha latte!“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“Wow… Their shrimp tempura rice ball was absolutely amazing, and I don’t even usually like sushi. The young lady working the cashier was so sweet and friendly. She even put on gloves and helped teach me how to properly open my rice ball. Don’t miss out on this little hole in the wall- I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“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!!“
