Very average coffee for $6+. Waited very long only for the order to be wrong... Much better coffees around the area.

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.

Very good food. Food was so delicious. I remember when this restaurant was Indie Food and Wine and was a huge fan of their food. I loved eating their duck confit( which I don't think they have anymore) but their sandwiches are still so good and I get them frequently! The vibe and environment there is amazing and I would go there again!

Indie is back! Literally right across at the The David Rubenstein Atrium part of Lincoln Center. Still some of the Best Mac & Cheese with a daily Fresh Soup. I had the pleasure of having Sweet Potato Soup with drizzles of Cream Fraiche & Baked Mac'n Cheese

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 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.
