This cafe, just a block from the Hilton where I stayed, was a lifesaver. The selection is amazing, like a Costco! From wine and coffee to toiletries and dinner, I found everything I needed. I even had a great dinner here when I didn't want to go too far.

I had an extremely disappointing experience here. I purchased a panini and sat down to eat with my friends, who had food from another place. Despite the fact that I was a paying customer, we were told we couldn't eat there simply because my friends had food from elsewhere. That alone felt unreasonable. What made it worse was how the staff handled it. One of the employees raised her voice at us in a completely unprofessional and unnecessary way. We were not being disruptive—we understood the request and were already getting up to leave when she continued to speak to us in a rude, aggressive tone.This kind of behavior is unacceptable anywhere, but especially in a business located near Times Square, where you'd expect a basic level of courtesy and professionalism.

Really bad staff and service for the quality of food they provide. Also they charged for the beef option on one of the items I purchased that was chicken.

Me and my family ate here and our food was very good and fresh. I had the caesar salad, tuna salad, cucumber salad. Got for a quick snack

What a great food option in Midtown! So many hot and cold options! I was especially impressed by the fresh fruit on their cold bar! Would highly recommend for folks in need of a quick bite to eat.

TOURIST TRAP- AVOID AT ALL COST

I have been staying in Hilton for buisness trips for last 20 years . This cafe has been around for a while . It’s always been overpriced.
The service has always been below average but it’s New York so you never expect them to be great at hospitality. But with the inflation it’s just not worth it anymore . I think today was my last time visiting them . The guys frying eggs were just so grumpy. I will never understand the whole gangster vibe which is really not required while you taking breakfast order . I asked one question and they just got so upset . Totally messed up my order . They speak in a different language so you have no clue what one is telling the other about your order . Different price for exact two bagels , I informed the lady at counters and she just stared at me . I just paid cause I was in a rush .
I understand nothing will happen but I like to inform people visiting in future .
There are way too many options around the area . And you don’t deserve to pay 24 dollars for two bagels prepared wrong with a shitty service .
