I visited this cafe hoping to grab a coffee to enjoy with my dog, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The staff was unfriendly and, frankly, quite rude. I was asked to leave without any explanation or courtesy, which I found very upsetting. While I understand that policies may vary, respectful communication would have made a big difference. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Good place if you are vegetarian and in a hurry. My food was ready in 5 minutes. There are a variety of vegetarian opinions here, the food is reasonably priced. I paid $10 for the vegetable burger on its own. The bread bun was nice and tasty. There was a good ratio of vegetables in this dish.

Beautiful waterfall views, but very unimpressed by their smoothies (watered down) and food.

We stopped here in the small park and had brunch. The owners were friendly and professional, and the good was delicious. They did give a good amount of food for the prices. Will return if ever in the area.

They will not serve anyone with a bicycle. Literally the only outdoor place in Manhattan I've ever encountered this, and no bike rack anywhere to rationalize it. Neat waterfall.

Parking: Bicycles not allowed, no bike rack.

Wheelchair accessibility: Only one ramp that is about 30 degrees steep.

The food was just okay, the dining area was gorgeous, but the server was very standoffish while I was ordering, she then got my order wrong and then denied that I had ever ordered it.

This tiny cafe is a true gem! It's affordable, delicious, and fresh- all cooked to order!! Then you get to eat in this secret paradise! My egg and sausage sandwich was super tasty. I can wait to come back and try other things. I definitely recommend a stop here.

Carol's Cafe make delicious cinnamon French toast, buttermilk pancakes, and hashbrown omelettes. I appreciate that they took my dislike of onions and tomatoes into account. Also, the view is fantastic. It's right in Greenacre Park, and there is a waterfall you can watch all day while dining. And the owner is awesome.

The café inside the cute little park has the worst service ever. The server took the order with the least patience. The coffee is restaurant-grade, not café-quality, so if you don’t know coffee, you wouldn’t mind. I drink coffee black, so it has to be made from the finest beans. The pancakes were undercooked, the French toast tasted like the frozen ones, and the egg croissant and omelette were decent.
