I’m a Brooklynite and was running a long errand in the area when I stumbled over this cafe. They have lovely options for all diets and when I asked the woman at the counter how “cilantro-y” the cilantro sauce on their breakfast bowl was, she gave me a little cup of it to try. Funny, kind, attentive staff, and I had a lovely time sitting outside to eat my lunch. (And for anyone else with the cilantro gene, the sauce still tasted good to me!)
We had lunch on Saturday, October 3, at the Slate Cafe on 2nd Ave in midtown and the food was fresh, fabulous, delicious, and extremely satisfying😋
I especially want to mention how wonderful the staff is and give a very special shoutout to Orlanda who is exceptional. Very patient, dedicated, kind and joyful. She made the most amazing decaf oat milk latte! We will definitely return 🙏

Decent place to have lunch/brunch. Looks a bit worn down, several trash on the floor.

Slate Cafe Midtown offers a variety of food and drink options for all meals, with a great selection of coffee. The menu is reasonably priced and has something for everyone. It is a cozy spot for breakfast, featuring options like the Matcha Yogurt bowl and other delicious choices such as the egg mushroom dish and the breakfast sandwich with lox. The cafe can get noisy when crowded, but it provides a bright, sunny place in Midtown East that is nice for meeting up with friends or doing remote work. Many customers enjoy the grilled chicken sandwich and the smoked salmon bagel, while the berry waffle has been described as the best waffle ever. The salmon bagel remains a popular choice, and the staff is friendly. Some reviews mention that the coffee is generally good, with the cortado being a favorite. While the food can be hit or miss—highlighted by the berry waffles which are described as hard, syrup-less, and lacking flavor, or the bacon scramble which can be overcooked—the overall atmosphere and healthy vegetable-based meals make it a favorite spot for many visitors. Although it can be loud due to poor acoustics and many conversations, it remains a nice place to enjoy a quick, tasty bite.
