“The Pelican Room is relatively new, but they seemingly manage to bring a homely, inviting ambiance to your table. From the service to the food, everything was impeccable. I cannot recommend the truffle and gouda coquettes enough. Definitely looking forward to another visit soon.“

“Great food my kids love going there. It’s really awesome and I support our local community too. Eat local, especially here.“

“I’m a WFH girly & I’m always looking for cafes to work at. The atmosphere was nice - pretty spacious & cozy. The music was nice & not too loud. I had a cappuccino with almond milk & cinnamon on the top. It was so good & loved the presentation. I’ll be back - looking fwd to trying some food options.“

“My visits are few and far between, because I don't drive. But everything I go, I'm with someone who has never been there, and they are always impressed by the massive selection, the taste, and the freshness. Gourmet express never disappoints. This time they had vegan carrot cake loaf, foccaicia, and olive bread loaf. I bought them all!!😊“

“I always have a comfortable time when I go to this location!“

“If you're looking for authentic Greek food and pastries, Meri's Bakeshop is an absolute gem. As someone who is half Greek and grew up eating homemade Greek food, I can honestly say this is the best Greek bakery and food I've had anywhere in the United States.

Everything we tried was exceptional, from the Greek cookies to the baklava and spanakopita and tiropita. You can taste the quality, tradition, and care in every bite. Even better, Meri creates fresh specials daily, so there's always something new and delicious to try.

What truly sets this place apart is Meri herself. She is one of those rare people who instantly makes you feel like family the moment you walk through the door!! Her warmth, hospitality, and passion for sharing Greek culture shine through in everything she does.

Meri's Bakeshop feels like stepping into someone's home for a meal. The food is incredible, but it's the combination of authentic flavors and genuine hospitality that makes it so special. This is the kind of place you find once and then tell all your friends about- I can't wait to go back!“

“Stopped in for a cold juice while out for a walk. It was a nice experience and we loved our juices but what makes this place special is the owner Maria. She made us feel so welcomed and treated us as if we were her family. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Please go support a local business!“

“Unique space. Great vibe. Vast selection of beverages. Tasty authentic cuisine. Fresh pastries. Five star service. A jewel of Harlem.“

“Healthy & Dyckman is a great little café in the Bronx where you can get fresh, flavorful food at a reasonable price. Everything is made to order, so just be sure to order ahead or come with a little patience—there’s usually one person at the counter and one in the back preparing the food.

They offer both vegan and non-vegan options, so there’s something for everyone. Definitely a solid neighborhood spot worth checking out.“

“This restaurant was amazing! The person working there was very kind and answered my questions in a way I understood. I got my latte. It was made in a quick fashion. There were nice, clean tables to sit in to enjoy my latte. I highly recommend this location“

“I had the pleasure to enjoy the food here at Toastique. The food was delicious, I tried the Spicy crab toast, it was the best tasty presentation of real crab meat with fine vegetables. The juices are healthy mixes of real fresh fruit. I tried the spicy Margarita, super tasty drink! The place is nicely updated, modern look, service was excellent, friendly and very welcome environment! Great place to enjoy some time with friends or family.“

“My boyfriend and I came here on a whim and were greeted with kindness upon entering by Chenet!☺ Shout out to her for her warmth, prompt assistance and recommendations! We would come back here for sure since the interior design/aesthetics of this place were gorgeous! On top of that, the vibe was immaculate and intimate around 7pm on a Saturday!🎉 It almost felt like VIP service! My boyfriend ordered the steak frites, I ordered the pistachio pasta and both were delicious! I like that they made the pasta not so salty and that I could adjust the salt to my liking with table salt. Also we ordered the sliders and they were good too! I highly recommend giving this place a visit, it's clean, beautiful and great customer service! Thanks again Chenet!!☺🎉 The drinks are also great btw!“

“The pasta, made fresh every day, is delicious. My fav, Fusilli in bolognese sauce! And they Deliver!“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Well what started out as "oh let's try this place" as we hunted for a new brunch spot has quickly become a fam and friends fav. This eatery is a hidden gem in the mount Haven section of the BX...who knew!? Love the rustic casual ,chill vibe & the rooftop seating on a summer day is everything. The food... fresh uncomplicated, there are halal vegan& vegetarian options. The chocolate croissant and vegan carrot cake 🥰 My personal favorite is avocado toast with turkey bacon , arugula or the goddess bowl add a great cup of coffee or Chai latte it's all delish!! To the staff are friendly and helpful. We love this eatery so much we just had my friend's son's wedding there, intimate, beautiful. A must try.“

“I would rather swallow poison than anyone else's cappuccino. Best coffee, vibe of any cafe in Westchester. Staff is super cool and I love the music they play. I am not cool but I feel cool when I'm in there.“

“best coffee shop in Manhattan 😊“

“Hands down the best restaurant in Westchester! This is a run, don’t walk, recommendation. From the moment you enter Cafe Deux, you’re transformed to another era. The owners, Carrie and Charlotte Denoyer, greet each customer with warmth as they accommodate every request—from seating, to craft cocktails, to gf/df/v options. With a chef who clearly “gets it”, each course feels so very special—as if prepared just for you! I’ve been visiting Cafe Deux since they’ve opened so picking my favorite dishes is near impossible, but…Breakfast-crustless farmers market quiche; Lunch- salad tuna nicoise; Dinner—mussels, the Deux wagyu burger, any fish special, and of course the fries, which take 48hrs to prepare). This place is perfection! Harrison sure is lucky to have them!“

“The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My juice was amazing and I topped it off with a veggie patty. I will definitely be back!“

“This is by far my favorite coffee shop! The coffee is always fresh, delicious, and made perfectly every time. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is cozy, clean, and the perfect place to relax, study, or catch up with friends. I love supporting a local business that consistently provides such great service and quality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing coffee and a great experience!“

“Great customer service. The people who work there are knowledgeable and they have the best stock of bikes around. At 5’1” no one ever has bikes in my size. Not only did Piermont have a bike, they had 4 for me to test. Sunny also told me the size I originally thought I needed was too big and his recommendation for the smaller frame was spot on. I ended up with a 44 cm Cannondale Evo and couldn’t be happier.“

“Honestly, the healthiest cafe in the Castle Hill area of the Bronx, if not in the Bronx!“

“Great Food and ambience. Drinks are great but I love more beer options. This place is a hidden gem for coffee.“

“Walked into the Cafe the vibe was very nice and cozy good environment if you want a chill breakfast or brunch, the girl who served at the front desk was very nice and the speed of the food was also not bad, would definitely come back during an autumn day to get that Halloween vibe“

“Lovely cafe! Such amazing matcha, the cafe staff are so friendly too. Definitely recommend!!❤️“

“This is my go-to place in Manhattan. My favorite coffee and pastries. Superb! Everything with guava that they offered is just exceptional! The warm and kindness of the whole team makes you feel like HOME. Go for the pan de bono, guava chicharrón, cranberry scone, guava croissants, and dare to try more and more! You won’t be disappointment ✨

We need more places like this in the city!!“

“Honestly parking here is HORRIBLE because it’s located in a shopping center with a few other businesses/ restaurants so I would say best to park outside the lot. I ended up parking 2 blocks away which was far for this area. The cafe is small and can easily be missed. They’re a lot of seating and wasn’t busy so service was quick. They’re blueberry matcha was a special and when I received it I didn’t think I would like it as much since I’m not a fan of anything with pulp and the blueberry had pulp bits but you can tell it’s super fresh. After my first sip I can’t wait to go back for more because it was THAT good. Probably the best blueberry matcha I’ve ever had. I love places like this - little hole in the wall spots that just slap! Would recommend but it is far from me so I would have to make the 25 min drive (without traffic) just for this cafe. Wish the matcha was a little stronger so I would probably do double matcha next time but it did work well with the recipe for the drink. Would highly recommend giving this a try. I saw they have strawberry matcha too so maybe I’ll get both next time“

“Lifelong Palisades resident, and have loved the 9W Market/The Filling Station since it opened back in 2011! A HUGE improvement over the previous ownership when it was called the Palisades Market which opened in the spring of 2010 and was only open for a few months and then closed. I was so disappointed with the Palisades Market because it lacked a decent food selection and this community needed something so much more. Luckily, the owners of the 9W Market have done such an amazing job! I’ve never had a bad meal here! The ingredients are high quality and super fresh! The atmosphere and ambiance is very relaxing and tranquil! Love the bistro theme on the indoor side and picnic theme by the filling station burger stand. Not to mention, the burgers are the best I’ve ever had! Made with high quality grass fed beef! This is gourmet nyc restaurant style food right in our local neighborhood! Keep up the great work!“

“Found this little gem through Google as we took my mother in law to the hospital for her surgery. The place didn’t disappoint, we had French toast, avocado toast, and eggs with bacon and sausage. Everything was amazing and the owner who was also our server was super sweet and funny!! I would recommend this place to everyone !!“

“OMA Coffee has a really nice modern café vibe — minimalist, clean, and relaxing despite being in the middle of busy New York. The coffee was smooth and enjoyable, and the space itself felt cozy enough to slow down for a while.

Not necessarily the most unforgettable coffee spot in the city, but definitely a solid place for a good cup of coffee, casual conversations, or just taking a little break from walking around NYC.

Simple, aesthetic, and easy to like.“

“Was there visiting from Ohio. Great coffee enjoyed sitting outside taking in the scenery.“

“What a great spot to eat. Delicious food and courteous staff. 👍“

“The drinks and atmosphere are great but the service is so poor. The baristas are straight up mean to customers. Also you can’t get any drinks an hour before closing, just water. It’s such a bummer that the service sucks because the places itself is so relaxing and lovely to work in.“

“Highly recommend their drinks, so far I’ve tried their vanilla latte & rose matcha and they didn’t miss.
For food, my fav would be the eggcelent avo toast & it’s really filling and tastes amazing.
The people are very kind & courteous. Whole in the wall!! Wish their space expands!!“

“So I gotta be honest, as a native New Yorker I was very turned off by this place because of the prices and the obvious gentrification vibe (I’m sorry I had to say it) but I decided to give it a try since I’m always looking in while waiting for the 33 bus.

I gotta say I was just pleasantly surprised.

The quality is honestly outstanding and I truly appreciate the care put into this classic burrito! The eggs are fluffy, the tortilla looks and tastes homemade, the caramelized onions give it a nice sweetness, and there’s a pleasant crunch from tortilla chips! And the mild salsa? AMAZING they should honestly sell it, it’s that good.

The coffee is also pleasantly good quality and my cappuccino was perfectly sweetened by the adorable barista.

HOWEVER, I gotta deduct one star from the lack of some salt and flavor IM SORRY. The salsa was doing alot of heavy lifting here. Also it took a hot minute to get my food while the place was empty and my burrito wasn’t really hot…a little weird. Thankfully still made my bus and was able to eat my burrito right away.

Overall would definitely come back to try the Caesar salad wrap, other burritos, and more cappuccinos!

Edit: yall got me and I’m changing my rating to 5 stars. Love to support a native nyer business!
I’ve tried the salad wraps now and I will definitely be a regular 😊“

“One of the best spots in the Bronx ! Hands down !“

“My first time here but have been following them for years. OMG, the real deal! I was in a rush so ordered two sandwiches and three pies for a pick-up, but saw that tire was stocked with authentic Italian products so want to come back and shop!“

“I really enjoyed the atmosphere an the the service was excellent also the young lady who was working at the time of me dining there was very pleasant she made me an my children feel as comfortable as possible I really enjoyed everything an will be returning in the near future..“

“A lovely and friendly place with delicious pastries and home made French Crepes. It was a pleasure to come and exchange with owner Pierre-Yves. Undoubtedly a place to come !“

“Here's a heartfelt review you can use: From the moment we walked in, we were embraced with warmth and kindness that made us feel like family. The atmosphere of this intimate establishment was not only beautiful, but thoughtfully curated with an eye for detail that didn’t go unnoticed. The food was absolutely phenomenal—every bite bursting with flavor and made with love. The hospitality, professionalism, and sincere attentiveness of the staff was unmatched. We were served with such dignity and care, it truly touched our hearts. This place deserves more than five stars—I'm giving it a full 10! A gem of an experience we won’t soon forget.“

“An all-time great dessert spot in Asotira, New York. We called-in as we were arriving close to store closure time, and the front desk peeps were kind enough to let us in and dine in.

I got the brownie waffle and it did not disappoint. The brownies were very generous and the different chocolate drizzles completed the delight. They serve really good coffee as well.“

“I love this place! The best Asian food in the neighborhood. Bahn mi is sooo good, thats probably my favorite. Summer rolls are fresh and delicious. And the lavender milk tea is great too. Highly recommend this spot, the owners are really friendly too!“
