Cafe by the Girls Colombian Coffee

I came here because of the good reviews, but I had to wait 20 minutes (the cafe was empty!) to have an avocado toast that looked like it was made by a 10 years old, and the bread was even burnt on one side (you can see by yourself with the picture). Won’t come back

I found this spot by chance on my way to work. I got curious and walked in… and to my surprise, it was a Colombian café right in the middle of the city—a pleasant discovery!

I tried the iced coffee, a ham and cheese empanada, and a beef empanada fresh out of the oven—absolutely delicious.
The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with that cozy and familiar touch only a Colombian café can give you.

If you’re into Colombian coffee, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

Spacious and chill neighborhood spot to sit down for a bit. The empanadas were good and the coffee decent. Staff was friendly. There is wifi.

The banana bread I bought was stale and hard. When I asked for a refund, the server insisted I wait. Despite the cafe being empty, she ignored me for more than 10 minutes while making other drinks. She eventually processed the refund, but the entire interaction was an unnecessary drama. I want to support a local business, but I cannot recommend this place and won't be back.

Trust me. I know BJ’s muffins when I see em!

From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere and the rich aroma of freshly brewed Colombian coffee. The attention to detail here is unmatched—everything from the coffee quality to the service feels personal and thoughtful.

The baristas are not only friendly but clearly passionate about their craft, and it shows in every cup. I had a pour-over that was perfectly balanced and flavorful, and the empanadas are a must-try—fresh, savory, and authentic.

It’s the kind of place where you can sit and relax, get some work done, or catch up with friends. Whether you're a true coffee connoisseur or just looking for a cozy spot, this café is a gem.

Highly recommend supporting this small business—you won’t be disappointed!

Had the most horrible experience here. I was having lunch here (the food was horrible too). A homeless man, clearly on drugs, with no pants and underwear on came inside, sat right next to me, and no staff stopped him. They watched it happened and did nothing. You should train your employees better. No respect to the customers.

High prices for food, but they are laptop friendly. The male cashier is friendly, but the woman is condescending and rude.

don’t come here!! the worker was unfriendly and my food was dry and inedible. my wrap was extremely bland and I had very sad, watered down matcha latte for $22

Cozy little café with great food and excellent coffee
It’s our first time in New York and we've already eaten here twice – that says a lot. The coffee is really good and comes very close to European coffee – Europeans will understand what I mean 😉. The food is fresh and full of flavor. Yes, it takes a bit longer to prepare, but it's definitely worth the wait. A big plus: everything is served on real plates with real cutlery – no plastic or paper, which is sadly not always the case in NYC. Prices are about the same as everywhere else in the city. Highly recommended!

Paid $4.50 for a dry tiny piece of pastry with a couple of almonds on the top. Even in this economy was a complete waste of $$$. Gave 2 stars because the barista was friendly

couldnt hesr what she said and she wasnt listening to how i wanted less ice and she added a whole cup of ice to the top! no bathroom the matcha was really plain and not so great the coffee was also quite plain aswell

I’ll say it is a great spot to stop by when u r doing the gallery tour in the area. Both meals and sweets available, pretty neat and standard.

💛🧀Cheese bread was chewy and delicious. Something simple to have as a snack!

Cappuccino was pretty classic. Foamed milk and creamy enough.
