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 restaurant was amazing! The person working there was very kind and answered my questions in a way I understood. I got my latte. It was made in a quick fashion. There were nice, clean tables to sit in to enjoy my latte. I highly recommend this location“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Been wanting to try this place out and so glad I finally did with my husband and son! Didn’t disappoint at all! Biscoff iced latte was delicious as well as the Haven Staple! Such a nice relaxing atmosphere, my 3 year old loved the vanilla Frappe!“

“Daily Provisions consistently serves the best sandwiches in the city. This location, near the museum, is my go to after a run. The chicken Milanese dipped in their tomato soup is my favorite (the olive oil makes the difference), paired with a side of fried potatoes.

If you want something simpler, their tuna melt is pretty decent, though the majority of customers (7 out of 10) opt for the chicken Milanese.

The wait is minimal, ample seating, and this location is noticeably more spacious (and less stuffy) than their Union Square outpost.“

“Such a pretty place. I felt so welcome here ☺️ the dessert display so yummy. The desserts are delicious. Owner very nice 👌 👍 I would definitely come back. Such a tranquil and serene atmosphere. Parking is very accessible. A hidden gem so worth your trip. Everyone must try this great little cafe.“

“I would rather swallow poison than anyone else's cappuccino. Best coffee, vibe of any cafe in Westchester. Staff is super cool and I love the music they play. I am not cool but I feel cool when I'm in there.“

“Just checked out Nourish, a new restaurant in the South Bronx, and it exceeded expectations. The decor is beautiful, the music sets the perfect vibe, and the overall ambiance makes it a great spot to unwind or meet up with friends.

Our server, King, was incredibly attentive and made sure everything came out perfectly. We ordered cocktails, sliders, and steak — and every single dish was spot on. The food, drinks, and service all came together for a really great experience.

Definitely a new gem in the South Bronx. Looking forward to going back!“

“I had the pleasure to enjoy the food here at Toastique. The food was delicious, I tried the Spicy crab toast, it was the best tasty presentation of real crab meat with fine vegetables. The juices are healthy mixes of real fresh fruit. I tried the spicy Margarita, super tasty drink! The place is nicely updated, modern look, service was excellent, friendly and very welcome environment! Great place to enjoy some time with friends or family.“

“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.“

“best coffee shop in Manhattan 😊“

“Was there visiting from Ohio. Great coffee enjoyed sitting outside taking in the scenery.“

“Hands down the best restaurant in Westchester! This is a run, don’t walk, recommendation. From the moment you enter Cafe Deux, you’re transformed to another era. The owners, Carrie and Charlotte Denoyer, greet each customer with warmth as they accommodate every request—from seating, to craft cocktails, to gf/df/v options. With a chef who clearly “gets it”, each course feels so very special—as if prepared just for you! I’ve been visiting Cafe Deux since they’ve opened so picking my favorite dishes is near impossible, but…Breakfast-crustless farmers market quiche; Lunch- salad tuna nicoise; Dinner—mussels, the Deux wagyu burger, any fish special, and of course the fries, which take 48hrs to prepare). This place is perfection! Harrison sure is lucky to have them!“

“The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My juice was amazing and I topped it off with a veggie patty. I will definitely be back!“

“Love this place! The sandwiches are authentic and very delicious. They have a big variety of drinks and other Asian street food, like Korean cheese corn dogs. It can take a while for you to get your food, but other than that, I will definitely keep coming back!“

“Highly recommend their drinks, so far I’ve tried their vanilla latte & rose matcha and they didn’t miss.
For food, my fav would be the eggcelent avo toast & it’s really filling and tastes amazing.
The people are very kind & courteous. Whole in the wall!! Wish their space expands!!“

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

“Great Food and ambience. Drinks are great but I love more beer options. This place is a hidden gem for coffee.“

“Great food my kids love going there. It’s really awesome and I support our local community too. Eat local, especially here.“

“I visited this shop a few times and really like the space and location. They make a solid expresso; the pastries aren’t bad either. The patrons and barista do not really have a warm personality, which is unfortunate, but at lease the coffee is good. Wish them much success.“

“The vibes are great, food is delicious. I honestly didn’t expect such a delicious French toast from a cafe, probably one of the best, perfectly cooked, caramelised light crunch. You don’t even need syrup or whip cream. Coffee is so good!“

“Some days you just want comfort without leaving home, and today Susan’s Kitchen was exactly what I needed. I ordered delivery, and they went above and beyond with every detail. The chocolate chip cookie with walnuts is the kind of treat that instantly lifts your mood, and the omelettes were perfectly prepared and so delicious. Their thoughtfulness really shines through, and I’m so grateful for the warmth they put into their food.“

“Had a delightful lunch today at the 41st St location. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The dressing on the greens that comes with the sandwiches was to die for! Atmosphere was quaint and inviting. Staff was exceptionally attentive and polite even though it was busy! We can’t wait to go back!“

“We had breakfast here with friends.
The food is incredibly tasty, very fresh, and filling.
Cozy atmosphere and very kind staff.
The place smells quite strongly of the kitchen, but it doesn’t take away from enjoying the food.“

“Unique space. Great vibe. Vast selection of beverages. Tasty authentic cuisine. Fresh pastries. Five star service. A jewel of Harlem.“

“I had the good fortune to walk into Da Capo on Madison Avenue near Mount Sinai where I had a delicious lunch and a great latte. I actually met the entire family of owners who are understandably very proud of their cafe, since it’s really a fabulous cafe.Alex and Aris who are brothers do a wonderful job managing their restaurant. They also have another location across from the Javits Center. In addition to having wonderful coffee and teas as well as sandwiches and desserts, they occasionally have musicians perform in their dining room!“

“Eggty8 offers a standout dining experience by masterfully blending creative Western brunch with traditional Eastern flavors. The special blueberry pancakes provide a light and inventive sweetness, while the Nova Benedict delivers a refined, perfectly poached classic for seafood enthusiasts. Complementing these is the authentic Malaysian curry noodle, which features a rich, fragrant broth and genuine spice, making the restaurant a rare destination where inventive sweets and bold, traditional comfort food coexist beautifully. You should try.“

“Lifelong Palisades resident, and have loved the 9W Market/The Filling Station since it opened back in 2011! A HUGE improvement over the previous ownership when it was called the Palisades Market which opened in the spring of 2010 and was only open for a few months and then closed. I was so disappointed with the Palisades Market because it lacked a decent food selection and this community needed something so much more. Luckily, the owners of the 9W Market have done such an amazing job! I’ve never had a bad meal here! The ingredients are high quality and super fresh! The atmosphere and ambiance is very relaxing and tranquil! Love the bistro theme on the indoor side and picnic theme by the filling station burger stand. Not to mention, the burgers are the best I’ve ever had! Made with high quality grass fed beef! This is gourmet nyc restaurant style food right in our local neighborhood! Keep up the great work!“

“The best neighborhood spot!! Great team, food and coffee. They especially love my puppy and bring her treats outside when we are walking by. Zizi and Holly are standing outside!! Love the personal touch. 5 out of 5 stars without question. Ps….. they have pistachio milk!!!“

“Had a great night and tasty meal at the Pelican Room and their speakeasy next door - Kalico lounge. Food was terrific, drinks were outstanding snd service top notch. Great vibe too. Felt like it could be in the city or Brooklyn.

Will definitely come back.“

“Great coffee and food, but a weird place to spend any amount of time to do work or meet a friend - I was there on a Monday afternoon and maybe that's not the best time, as there was literal construction going on, and they left a door open for like 25 minutes while deliveries were coming in, so it got very cold.“

“Best pho ever. It has the most authentic chicken broth flavor and the chicken was so tender! The broth is so good, you don’t even need the sauces to make it better. Service is good, and you can smell the delicious pho from the outside! Amazing to have on a cold chilly day.“

“Buffet with a large variety of food sold on a pay by the pound basis. All the food is good, service always pleasant. Most go for take-out, the atmosphere is clean and utliitarian, not the place for a date but fine with a friend to chat over lunch.“

“I’m a WFH girly & I’m always looking for cafes to work at. The atmosphere was nice - pretty spacious & cozy. The music was nice & not too loud. I had a cappuccino with almond milk & cinnamon on the top. It was so good & loved the presentation. I’ll be back - looking fwd to trying some food options.“

“What an incredible place! I was in a pinch as I was planning on visiting my family for a few weeks in New York. My dates kept changing and the team went above and beyond to accommodate me and my evolving schedule. My daughter LOVED going to the camp. She came home with so many stories, they made food, craft and had fun! What a gem. We will be coming back when travel again to garden city“

“Loved the super friendly staff, including the owner who stopped by to ask how everything was going; the menu was quite varied and healthy, & lattes great, especially the 2 seasonal ones we tried; ambiance delightful — lots of sunlight, good mix of seating, cheerful decor w. lots of goods from local farmers & vendors in market section, free WiFi, & location central to subway & bus stops, though on edge of busy and bit chaotic traffic circle, making cafe signage not as prominently ideal. Outdoor seating a big plus during warmer months which this clearly wasn’t, but chairs still optimistically there :D

Cafe works hard to operate sustainably and therefore participates in an innovative local program that offers recycling of fresh flower arrangements post their short life at a special event, so not wasted. Very creative!

Highly recommend checking out as would be a regular IF lived in NYC, and not Somerville, MA!“

“Best Bolognese sauce and fresh homemade pasta“

“Great atmosphere. Pretty good 🌭 and the ☕️ was great. 🚻 was clean as a whistle.

The park is making you pay for parking now even during winter. I don't know if that's new or not. Further south (Fort Lee/Alpine) it's still free for the winter time.“

“Chef Geoff is the real deal. not only is everything delicious, hot plates, pastries, salads, and of course top shelf coffee. not only is it prepared perfectly, you can taste the love in every bite.“

“great place ,lovely lady serving ,great capuchinos ,the best tiramisú“

“Cloud Touch is one of those must-hit spots you’d usually find down in Greenwich Village—and now we’ve got them on the Upper West Side 🔥 From the corn dog 🌭 to the egg & cheese sandwich 🥪 and the donuts 🍩, all I can say is FIRE. Top-tier quality, packed with flavor, and everything hits just right. Absolute win for the neighborhood 💯🔥“

“I left an funeral and needed somewhere to eat. I walked down the street and saw this restaurant. The food is really good but what's better is the hospitality. The people who worked there are AMAZING. I will be back and will be referring this restaurant to all my friends.“

“I love this place! The best Asian food in the neighborhood. Bahn mi is sooo good, thats probably my favorite. Summer rolls are fresh and delicious. And the lavender milk tea is great too. Highly recommend this spot, the owners are really friendly too!“

“Great drinks and great view 😍“
