The best option for breakfast or lunch at Lincoln Center. Not fancy, just delicious freshly made food. Love the 1/2 sandwich 1/2 salad combo.
And the chocolate chip cookie is divine. :)

Not too pricey, low key, delicious soup and sweet potatoes, friendly staff, great place to study, gather, have online meetings
Very average coffee for $6+. Waited very long only for the order to be wrong... Much better coffees around the area.
A pleasant place to relax and have a delicious lunch. The staff is very helpful.

Attitude by one of the staff members is why I'm leaving this review. The manager sarah is great but the sales staff that rung me up is so rude. Rolled her eyes at me multiple times. Spoke to me like I'm bothering her and has the most awful attitude. Hey if you don't like people or working in customer service don't work in a cafe. Food is fine. Pastries ok. My coffee is always repeatedly cold even though I ask for hot. Won't be back sadly. Tables too far spread out and not enough. Hopefully they get it together in the future.

I got a breakfast sandwich. It comes with egg, avocado, tomato, mayo on a Kaiser roll. I wish I had asked for it without mayo, which was unnecessary, unhealthy, and kind of gross. I also wish they had some healthier multi-grain or darker bread than the standard deli bread. For $10, it wasn’t a great breakfast sandwich. It was good, not great.I also wish I had asked for hot sauce or seen it displayed somewhere.

Great coffee and friendly service. Bonus for having a pink coffee lid ?
Great place to grab a bite after getting some theater tickets from TKTS (they share the same lobby area). Had a tasty combo with the buttermilk chicken sw and a spinach salad and later went back for bread pudding dessert. Everything tasted great. Attentive service and nice atrium atmosphere. Good value, as well; they even give you a free cup or water (without buying bottled water).

Welcome back Indie, they can’t keep a good thing away for too long. I love coming here the food and the staff are impeccable; my go to suggestion would be their mixed combo option where you can get a little taste of both.

Super excited for their comeback, I’ve been going to this establishment for years and everything on the menu is superb and the service is one of a kind.
