Pleasant surprise tucked away in a nook within the building lobby. Baristas actually polite and put their hearts into making the drinks. Very good selections of exotic flavors on the menu if feeling adventurous and want something different. Good spot for a quick break during the work days.

We visited 26th Nov 11.35 at the Lexington store. I have never experienced such poor service ever anywhere. We ordered 2 latte an avo on toast and a fromage bagel. I complained my bagel was very salty and had no filling, the young man who served me smiled and said" I can't do anything about that", I asked why he smiled at my complaint he said I like smiling, I said that is very rude, he then stayed I was projecting, and informed me enjoyed being condescending and passive aggressive. I showed him the Bagel and asked him if he thought it was acceptable he accused me of doing that, I questioned what he meant and he said, I messed it up. Which I assured him I had not. When another complained of how slow the service wad he said to the man he had not slept in 2 days. I'm sure the owners of the company would be appalled.

Not sure why this place is priced at only one $. I went there because Google said it was cheap. I ordered a 12 ounce iced coffee.. $7. Not going back here again. The code is decent but it's basically white because of all the half n half.

The guy who makes the coffee did not make our order correctly and when I asked for him to put in the chocolate that was missing from the order he was hostile, why, I don't know, his actions and words were aggressive. He obviously hates his job and shouldn't be in one where he has to be around people. Cute place in need of anger management.

Tasty coffee, good variety of different hot and ice drinks. There you can find some salads, pastry as well. Friendly staff, cozy interior.

I stayed in NY for a week and this coffee shop, among many others, was on my route to work. Le Café not only has the best coffee in the area, but also the best service. The staff are so friendly, and immediately remembered me and my order when I came back. Now I am back home missing that coffee! I ordered a caramel macchiato on my first visit. The gentlemen suggested I do a latte instead since it's a larger coffee. I'm so glad he told me that, otherwise I would have been disappointed! The next day, the other woman (so sorry l didn't get their names!) recommended me the dulce de leche latte instead of caramel. Oh mah goddddd - it was SO good! I ordered it the rest of the week. I also had a Turkey sandwich on a multigrain bread with avocado and this delish sauce. It was incredible. Lovely people and amazing coffee and food. Thank you Le Café for making my trip to New York more enjoyable!

Cute little place tucked away in the lobby of 1251. The workers are always kind and friendly and service is fast. Pro tip - if you plan on going here a lot, start a punch card!

Great little place to visit a few seats to watch the world go by, pleasant staff, quick service, and very good food from the pleasant choices... so much better than Starbucks

I am an admitted coffee snob and maybe an addict too and before I get in trouble it is cause I like my coffee strong. I made cold brew and drip and home, but sometimes a $5 cappuccino is the best. In this instance, it was amazing. I like my coffee iced, so an iced cappuccino or short latte or iced cortado with some oatmilk from here was a perfect morning pick me up. Love the location being so close to my NY office. Good amount of foot traffic, so there can be a wait, butttt worth it.

Steps from Columbus Circle this is a perfect place to refresh after schlepping around the Apple. It has a French flair and comfortable seating and of course great coffee.
Came across this very cute cafe at the lobby of 1251 Ave of Americas, right across from the escalators leading to the subways and Rockefeller concourse. I did not try any of their crafted coffee drinks, only their black coffee which reminds me a bit of Starbucks. However what prompted this review is their fantastic almond chocolate croissant. It's fresh, flaky, buttery, super yummy chocolate filling and covers in crunchy toasted almond slices. Such a delicious treat! Great customer service too... will go back to try other things on the menu.

Quick and delicious breakfast. Had the toast with almond butter and a London Fog. Both were tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Only thing we wished was that they had public restrooms.

Got a new pistachio milk latte & it was delicious. Barista was lovely. Friendly but authentic and a joy. Highly recommend stopping in here for a little pick me up treat!

Nice little coffee shop mostly good for takeaway. The coffee is OK, probably better than many other places we tried. Muffins OK as welll
