“The food and service is always on point. I live in Brooklyn but love to stop here whenever I’m in the city or when I’m showing visitors around. I’ve had the avocado toast, the rueben benedict (a must), salmon benedict and the ranchero (brisket dish) and it all hits!! I have yet to try the lunch menu but it’s just the perfect breakfast spot. Coffee is always great too. Just consistently good food and such warm friendly service.“

“Best breakfast in the city.“

“I was there only to pick up a to go order but the place was PACKED and from what I could see AND smell everything looked and smelled delicious!!!“

“Good food and cold beer! Mac and cheese hit the spot on a rainy day.“

“This is such a great little spot in NYC! We went for breakfast and when we arrived the owner opened the door for us and welcomed us in. We had to wait a moment till they had a table for us, so they gave us menus to look at in the meantime. The food was delicious and very filling. There were quite a number of staff on hand, so we had wonderful service. They were very quick to refill our water and respond to any needs. I would definitely go here again!“

“We stumbled upon this cafe randomly. Best coincidence ever! The food was yummy and at an amazing price, and the staff was insanely friendly! The kind of genuine friendliness you usually don’t find outside the Midwest. They also played very nice music :)“

“This could be the best breakfast spot on the UWS if you want to have the perfect price-quality balance. The guy working there is also super nice and kind.

Definitely recommend! Please note that it’s a cash only restaurant.“

“AWwsome Begel ,great place .. we are out of town or‘s and we were looking for a authentic bagel place and you hit the mark it was amazing when we get back here we will check you out again the staff was wonderful very friendly and helpful our bellies were happy😁“

“stopped in one morning on our visit to NY. the pumpernickel bagel was fresh with a lot of cream cheese was amazing. I ordered a caramel latte and watched him grind the coffee beans to make my latte and it was one of the best lattes I've ever had!“

“Very nice atmosphere and delicious croissants.“

“I really wish I could give a five star because the sandwich I received was amazing. I’m giving four stars because the atmosphere of the entire place needs to match everything. The worker at the register was honestly just rude and had a very standoffish attitude. It almost made me want to cancel my order and walk out the store. Please do better and be more welcoming because the food is amazing and it throws everything off. This was at 3:40pm today.“

“Visited from the Uk with our 3 girls. My breakfast was amazing….corn beef hash 👌🏻. The girls all had something different so had to have a taste of theirs too….all were so good. Definitely recommend this lovely little place 👍🏻“

“I'm a big fan of this place. I love coming here and getting their egg wraps or a muffin. They already know me for that 😂. But they're super attentive, diligent, and very courteous. The food is always good and I've never had a problem. They also have good coffee which rules. You can also snag a delicious breakfast burrito for about $10 so especially finding a place to eat in Midtown. It's perfect.“

“Café,desayuno,repostería y muchas cosas más.“

“I can’t express how GREAT this place is. From the moment you walk in door, you are greeted with a smile. The staff is super friendly & helpful. My toddler loves it there because of how gentle and patient they are with him. The owner is usually on the premises and is very kind. Fresh & Co has became apart of my daily routine. Whengeee you are in need a warm, friendly atmosphere, he is where you want to be.“

“Great place, mini diner, fantastic breakfast.
Atmosphere? Lol, Google doesn't understand how humans value space, it has the Atmosphere of a traditional lunch counter, which is fantastic for a lunch counter. Come here for food, it's great!“

“I have had hundreds of breakfast sandwiches all throughout the city and the Breakfast Burrito from Uri’s is without a doubt the best. Perfect flavor and texture combination, manages to hold up if you aren’t eating it for a bit (doesn’t get watery). Plus the people who work there are super friendly. An absolute staple of the UES“

“Went to Crema in Dania Pointe. High quality atmosphere and service. Carla was our barista and server and was excellent in her demeanor and service. Highly recommend.“

“Our family had a great experience at this WTC location. We went for brunch to celebrate our son’s birthday. He has a lot of food allergies so we don’t typically get to eat out, but Fogo is one of the few restaurants that he can eat at safely.Out of all the times we’ve eaten at Fogo de Chao in different cities, this was our favorite experience. Pablo, our waiter, was so friendly, accommodating, and helpful. He made sure to speak with the chef regarding our allergies and made us feel very comfortable with the items he brought out from the kitchen, so my son could avoid cross contact. He checked on us throughout and was quick to notice when we needed a refill or anything else. His recommendation to try the grilled pineapple was spot on! Kevin, our meat server, was also incredible. He was so patient, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about all the cuts of meat. He knew all the ingredients that went into the different cuts and helped us figure out which ones were safe for our son. His meat recommendations were also spot on. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or better service to celebrate his birthday.“

“Had a really pleasant evening with the fam while the winter winds howled outside. Lovely Chicken Piccata, and the Kid loved their Farm Burger. I believe the food has gotten better to the point where it is pretty damn good. The ambiance especially is really welcoming, and welcome.“

“I recommend delicious steak sandwich“

“Great breakfast . Friendly employees in a local spot. It is called by locals " dirty kitchen" BUT it just LOOKS dirty it is actually VERY CLEAN !! The asian wife is always cleaning. Great place for when you want a home cooked breakfast . Only like 4 counter seats but most people take it to TOGO.“

“amazing neighbourhood diner restaurant! got the huevos divorciados and it was delicious. the salsa verde which flooded the plate had the rare, perfect amount of acidity. the fruit pancakes deluxe with sunny side up eggs and sausage were also equally perfect in each component, with a special shoutout to the sausage (crispy skin! piping hot!) and hotcakes that had all the comfort of a childhood homemade breakfast. the servers were kind and warm, and the environment is cosy without being cramped. absolutely absolutely will be returning in short order.“

“this is a nice food truck! great service and recommendations. wraps were tasty! well proportioned. hot chocolate was too watery so thats the only downside. else this is a really fantastic breakfast truck and you can sit at the park nearby to eat them! well done !“

“Wanting to take my daughter for a special treat whilst in New York for a few days we booked afternoon tea in the Pembroke Room at the Lowell Hotel after knocking back the Plaza after reading a few dodgy reviews. So pleased we did as we spent over 2 hours enjoying every moment. The service was excellent as was the food, especially the warm scones. It’s a shame the cream was “Devonshire” rather than the traditional Clotted Cornish but other than that it was perfection. Lovely small intimate setting too where we felt our custom was welcome rather than feeling just a number as we were one of just 3 tables there. Would we return? Absolutely!“

“Spicy Gourmet Deli on 109th is hands down one of the most accommodating 24-hour delis on the Upper West Side. They have a huge variety of options, whether you’re grabbing something quick or looking for a full meal at any hour.

What really stands out is their hygiene, excellent customer service, and speed—everything is always clean, the staff is friendly and attentive, and orders are prepared quickly without feeling rushed. They truly treat customers like family and know their regulars by name, voice, and even address, whether you call in or stop by in person. That level of personal service is rare.

Definitely a neighborhood staple and a reliable go-to any time of day or night.“

“Amazing bagels and quick to get in and out. The tofu cream cheese was a good dairy alternative and the purple blueberry bagel was delicious. Staff was friendly and on point for service.

Dietary restrictions: Veggie and Dairy Free were options I enjoyed.

Parking: It’s the city, parking sucks.“

“I must say food and service was great! I ordered via uber eats and everything was fresh, hot, absolutely tasty, and on time. I ordered the chicken and waffles, cheese omelet w/ hash browns, and a cheeseburger. So far, it is one of the best places I've ordered from. You definitely will be satisfied. Great portions and again, the food was delicious. Thank you for a great experience!“

“If I could give Amuse 10 stars I would. The drinks are stellar, but the staff really make it. Cate, Amy, Brian, Guillermo, and the team provide impeccable service. They’re efficient, considerate, and sociable. The espresso martini is out of this world. I’m a local and I’m a regular. Whether you’re visiting the city or just passing through midtown, the open yet cozy ambiance of Amuse is an ideal reprieve from the city.“
