Claudette’s Cafe

Says it’s open till 6pm. Walked for 25 min to get a good cup of coffee only to find the “sorry we’re closed” sign. It’s 4pm.

The location of this spot is great but my first and only experience with the staff just left me confused. I ordered the blended frozen coffee drink (looked delicious, was unfortunately not) and when I went to ask for a straw the unenthused barista told me they were proudly strawless and tapped the strawless sign, as if I was foolish for missing this. While I support any company's choice to do this I offer a few things:
a) you are required by law to have straws available for those who require them. You don't have to have them on the counter but you do have to have them onsite.
and b) don't put things on your menu that legitimately require straws?
I almost took a sip in front of them so they could see the whole drink fall only my face lol. Instead, I went across the street to the deli where they happily provided me a straw and THE friendliest and most genuine customer service. I was honestly ashamed to have not gone to them in the first place and from now on, I will.

We’re from Toronto but we were in town for the weekend. Stopped by for a bowl (Jerusalem and Tangier) everything was delish. Staff was nice and it was a pleasant and warm environment. We will be back next time we’re back in nyc!

I've been to Claudette's many times, including their other locations. Every time I visit, the service is lovely and the food is so delicious! I want to go every day. I highly recommend their Tel Aviv pita and tahini hot chocolate! Thank you ❤️
