Tasty overall and worth the 8ish minute wait. Fantastic.Flavours were generally good (bulgogi egg sandwich), and it's a good portion size. I've tried Egg Club and still believe that Egg Club is superior, but only marginally.Filling sandwich.Nice décor, with a clean space and ample seating options.

Spectacular food, unique flavors, quickly served and friendly. A Korean take on egg sandwiches that really is amazing. I want to try every type, and there are many. Great cold brew

I love semicolon! Having a great local coffee shop with awesome food, friendly staff, and a killer matcha + strong coldbrew is everything!Their lox sandwich is my fav but all the sandwiches are outstanding.My only complaint is that there are no outlets on the occasion that my laptop runs out of battery (it looks like all the outlets are covered up, so I think this is intentional so people don’t stay too long)But there’s tons of room to sit, so you never have to worry about if you’ll get a table, the spaces, and filled with plants, and it gets an extra shout out for being someplace where I can walk in with my dog to grab a cup of coffee, and they have the cutest Polaroids of all the dogs in the neighborhood on their wall.Needless to say, I love it here.

the bulgogi sandwich was so yumm ? there was a lot of bulgogi in the sandwich and it tasted like asian style sandwich(kinda sweet and mayo based) which I have been looking for in nyc! also the bun was so soft and buttery? the sandwich was pretty big so I think the price is also reasonable! For the tiramisu latte , you should mix the tiramisu cream with the latte to make it more creamy which I also liked! recommend?? line is long during lunch!

As far as food and drink goes, this place is really Second to None in my opinion. The drinks are both inventive and accessible with a very fusion vibe between Manhattan and Korea. Everything I believe as far as food goes is made in house and is quite delicious.There is tons of space for working or reading a book or catching up with old or new friends.The only warning is that it is made from scratch and thus can take some time. So don’t go expecting it to be in and out in less than a minute! But it is worth the wait and maybe take the time to do some breath work and remove yourself from the nonstop go of American workaholism. ????

Kind of generic. Lacks the independent coffeeshop vibe and taste but delivers pretty well. Ordered a small oat cappuccino, got a bigger size than expected. Decent coffee. They use Oatly. Plenty of space to sit with my laptop.

Semicolon Cafe is a cozy, airy cafe offerring sandwiches, macaroons, and delicious coffee. The brick wall, marble barista station and variety of plants overhead makes for a minimalist yet comforting experience.It's nice to see there are about three floors where you can choose to reside. The music plays subtly in the background making it easy to focus.The Baristas are inviting and prepare your order within within a timely manner.You can't regularly come to Semicolon without trying one of their sandwiches as they are a main focus of the menu and overall marketing. I've never seen a bulgogi egg sandwhich at a coffee shop, but I am intrigued. The rich, tender crumb of the brioche bread combined with protein (ham, chicken, bulgogi, or egg) dressed in spicy Mayo makes for a substantial, tasty meal. I love this place!
