Friend of a Farmer - Upper West Side

Beautiful cozy decorating. Everything was super delicious and all felt like it was healthy.

It’s a good place to eat but for my personal taste eggs benedict’s were a bit too heavy. I may be not the biggest fan of crab option since it’s a bit too dry. Also portion is enormous, I didn’t even touch potatoes. Service is good.

I was really excited about this place and had seen great things online. Although the atmosphere was cute, the menu is definitely over priced, and our service was atrocious. We ordered coffees, juice, and our menu items. Our coffees came out after about 15 minutes. An hour later our food still hadn’t come out, even after the waiter/manager acknowledged it, it still took 20 more minutes before our food came out. Still didn’t get the orange juice until asking again. Our table definitely got forgotten about and we waited way too long for breakfast food to come out of the kitchen. It was yummy once we got it, but again, we were so hungry, we ate very quickly and didn’t get to enjoy. The manager took our drinks off the check for free. Nice that they did that, but overall first impression was not great. I don’t think i’d go back unless someone insisted.

Ordered take-out so can’t vouch for the atmosphere or service. Food arrived cold. Waffles are dry and tasteless. Ordered a flat white and received diner style coffee with milk in it. Just say you only serve drip, no need to lie. Also what you serve with waffles is not “maple butter” it’s “maple flavored butter”. There is a difference. $30 for a singular waffle and bad coffee.

Great food for breakfast, lunch and dinner !
The waiters are nice and the place is beautiful !
I absolutely recommand

What a beautiful restaurant! Our server Mitchell really made the experience for us- he was amazing! Thoughtful recommendations & the service was so quick we got so lucky coming here as we still had time to make our show and have a delicious dinner. We had the fried chicken as an appetizer & the smoked salmon but the branzino short rib was the real treat. Thank you Mitchell we can’t wait to return!! 10/10

A quarter chicken is not a half chicken as the menu stated. That said the skin was crisp but was bland and dry. The service was amateurish. The room itself was lovely.

The cornbread!!! So good.

Came here for brunch with a large group. We were given a lovely table in the back, bright even on a cloudy day. It felt incredibly comfortable and private even though there were other people sitting around us. All aspects of the food were excellent. The coffee was exceptionally first rate. Better than most coffee shops. The only down notes -- and they were repeated throughout the meal -- was an aggressive upsell. The orders as we placed them were never enough. We were asked if we wanted this extra or that extra. The final upsell of dessert when we clearly did not want any more food was a bit ludicrous, with the waiter admitting as much. Would definitely come back.

Awesome location, stunning cozy decor and fabulous food! ✨✨✨✨✨

The food was decent, but the service was so inappropriate that I can’t, in good conscience, recommend this place to others.

I have been going to the one at Gramercy. This one is no different- a classic Brekkie place with some of the yummiest omelettes in NY. I love their home fries. Check this out if you are in NY for a sumptuous Brekkie/brunch ?❤️

My friends and I had a wonder time last Sunday. We enjoyed a delicious brunch and had some laughs while doing it. The staff were great and very friendly. The food took a while however we were happy to wait. The vibe for a Sunday brunch was spot on.

Friend of a Farmer on the Upper West Side is a gem with its beautiful, rustic decor and cozy, inviting setting. They have some great vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free options, along with seasonal offerings that showcase fresh, high-quality ingredients. I tried the salmon with a Brussels salad and cauliflower soup—both light and satisfying—and the tahini veggie panini, which came on fresh, hearty whole-grain bread. The food is lightly seasoned, which may be ideal for those who prefer subtler flavors. It’s a perfect spot for a wholesome, comforting meal in a lovely atmosphere!

Vegetarian options: Many offerings

Dietary restrictions: They easily accommodate dairy free, vegan and vegetarian diners.

The food, service and atmosphere are great — nicer than the original (though fan of that too). Such a satisfying wonderful experience all around!

Dietary restrictions: They made everything to order and even added something that made it just perfect!
