I always get delivery from here. The Albacore Tuna Sandwich is my favorite sandwich in the city. It comes with tomato, melted Swiss, and avocado on a soft yet crispy baguette. And the Cajun fries are crave worthy. I also love the Nicole crepe

Cafe Bee is tucked inside Tea Magic and is mostly a takeout operation. I came here on a Saturday morning in search of a breakfast burrito, which had gotten quite a few shootouts and positive reviews on Google. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. On the plus side, the burrito is large enough to share and the scrambled eggs inside of it are really tasty. On the downside, the chorizo isn't spicy and it comes with way too much of this sour cream like sauce. Overall, very average.

I’ve eaten here plenty of times and the food has been really good, like the pastas and the sandwiches, but this time I was shocked. My work ordered over 12 sandwiches and every sandwich was all vegetable and BARELY any meat. I couldn’t find hummus at all in that sandwich, and for the turkey sandwic, there were little tiny pieces of turkey. There was almost no tuna in that sandwich too. Disappointing.

Makes no sense.. nothing that indicates they are located in tea magic… no sign and nothing online

This hole in the wall removed all seating but did not update Google Maps listing photos. It is now another Tea Magic with a take out burrito twist. Try the diner at 69th. Forget about this "restaurant".

Wheelchair accessibility: I can confirm they have a ramp inside. I confirm not one Chair.

A lovely, hole-in-the-wall little cafe tucked in the corner of a boba shop with tasty food, including an impressively vast selection of vegan and vegetarian options. There's no seating inside the shop, but the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Park is just a few blocks away if you're alright with enjoying your food outside! The food was tasty, but a bit heavy and oversaturated with oil for my taste -- I opted for the egg white omelette, which didn't include any cheese (yay for me and my lactose intolerant friends), but did have a boat load of fresh veggies! It was incredibly tasty, and honestly way bigger than I was expecting, but did make me feel pretty greasy afterwards. The potatoes were even more saturated in oil and a bit oversalted, but still delicious. The meal also came with toast, which was just white bread toasted in what smelled like butter, so I didn't end up partaking, but the friend that I had gone to brunch with said that it was oddly chewy (potentially because it had to be wrapped in tin foil immediately after toasting).She opted for one of their signature avocado toasts, which she adored -- it looks small, but it was incredibly filling, especially since they load on what seems like half or all of an avocado onto a single, frail piece of multigrain toast. The bread definitely couldn't hold up the heft of the avocado and salmon for long, so she ended up just eating her toast with a knife and fork, but it was still delicious nonetheless.The cashier was really sweet and helpful, but it did take an incredibly long time for us to get our food; even though we were the only ones in the restaurant, we ended up waiting upwards of 25 minutes to get our to-go orders. Thankfully we weren't in too much of a rush, but I would definitely recommend opting for another spot if you're looking for a quick option.Even so, Cafe Bee has a delightfully cute concept with great options for folks following a plant-based diet, and is definitely still on the top of my NYC breakfast recommendations!

The breakfast burrito with spicy chorizo slaps. The place is kinda hard to find but it is labeled as a tea magic boba place. The cafe is inside of that place and is only take out. My new favorite breakfast burrito

Order breakfast via DoorDash and I really enjoyed the food. Would recommend getting the breakfast quesadilla- the ingredients seemed really fresh and the portion size was large. I also appreciated the way it was packaged so that the food stayed fresh throughout the delivery. Also got the fries which I though were really good - well done and crunchy in a good way.

This place is actually under-rated. Solid breakfast

Great food, great service! Whenever I order something from Cafe Bee, they never disappoint me. Their pancakes and breakfast veggie burritos are the best!
