Great food and never too busy! An elevated deli vibe with some really yummy coffee/breakfast items! They also have a bodega style fridge of SO many drinks if you’d rather have a soda, juice, or other option! Their breakfast quesadillas are the absolute best!

Always a visit here during a NY trip. Down the street from my son's, it's always the first stop of the first day—breakfast croissant and a chai

Small cafe with beautiful back patio. Owners Roberto and Mariana are lovely. Stay away from Dunkin’ and get your coffee here!

Look, I’m not writing for The NY Times, so I’ll get straight to the point. Breakfast burrito with bacon at Azalea: THE ABSOLUTE BEST! To add context, I live at 116th and Claremont and literally walk through Morningside Park to get on the M16 bus to get to this spot at 116th and…you know what, I have no idea where I am. The point is that it’s way far and an expedition to get here! It takes at least 40 minutes, so it doesn’t happen often. Here’s what’s great about the place and the BB: It’s small, independently operated, clean &organized, and unpretentious(!!!); it’s not crowded; the cashier/barista is efficient and appropriately friendly & attentive; it has a single stall public restroom that’s IMMACULATELY CLEAN (never take this for granted!). Now the burrito: SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS — the ingredients are individually discernible and well cooked — tender, non-soggy potatoes marry with griddle-cooked bacon, soft scrambled egg (semi-runny yolk), onions and it’s all perfectly and NOT overly seasoned. You can taste that it’s cooked to order with intention and standard!!! Just a delicious way to start the morning, or early afternoon and a great place to spend your hard earned money and get quality! I highly recommend for the consistency and especially the non-hype!???
Such a cozy, simple but elegant cafe. Has an amazing and full menu of both food and drinks, including snacks. A very calm and welcoming place. I can imagine studying or bringing friends here for a chill brunch! I genuinely wish I lived just a tad closer so I could come by more ?

My favorite place to be other than home. The iced horchata latte with a chorizo egg and cheese is my favorite way to start my weekend but there’s so many other yummy options! The team is amazing and friendly every time. Their new backyard is so cute and fun and great for hosting parties!

Atmosphere, staff, coffees and meals!
Yummy.
The atmosphere is nice the male staff in register is rude the food is overpriced and not tasty. I tried because i work up 2 block from them but the final straw was when they made me French toast with the end of the bread slices not one piece but 2 pieces smdh. Why use the end of the bread yuck
