“My wife and I stumbled onto this location one day when passing through Queens. She just wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee, but what we got was so much better than expected. We had a “flat white” which was amazing high-quality coffee. And a piece of homemade baklava. I have to say this was hands-down, The absolute BEST baklava I’ve ever had in my life and if you’re a fan of this dessert, you absolutely need to go try it for yourself. I myself, have grown-up eating plenty of baklava. In my hometown, we have one of the highest Middle Eastern populations in the country so we have plenty of great baklava but I’ve still never had it this good. It was Perfect!✨ A large quantity, but not too filling, well-defined layers, very light & flaky but still moist, and just the right amount of nuts. when you bite into it, no part of the dessert gets lost or covered up. You can taste every element standing out with prominent flavor; from the freshness of the walnuts to the sweetness of the syrup and quality of the dough. After talking to the owner for a while, she explained to us how she bakes everything herself and how she refuses to buy her desserts from bakeries or skimp out on quality even if it makes her job easier. Let me tell you, it shows! I highly respect the integrity she brings to her baking and her café. She also gave us some cookies that were amazing as well.

Now let me tell you a bit about the owners of this establishment. They’re a dedicated hard working family from Montenegro and were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my travels. They were VERY kind warmhearted people who opened their business up to us as if it was their home and we were long time friends, stopping by for a visit. It was honestly surreal how comfortable they made us feel. We spoke for over an hour and enjoyed their beautifully designed and well kept Café/Bar. Whenever I go to a new location, I really pay close attention to how much the owners care about their business and the customers they serve. It is by far the most important criteria. With these owners, you can tell they really put their all into the business and it is truly a family affair. I loved how the husband and wife were both there working together and even their daughter pitches in. The daughter even drew this amazing Halloween picture on the board by the entrance and you can tell how proud her parents are of her skills. I truly admire the love and attention this family puts into their business, and I can confidently say they’re the American dream in action!🇺🇸 Please go pay these guys a visit I promise you won’t be disappointed. I know for us, It will be worth it to make the trip from New Jersey to visit again soon.“

“Came here on a cold night after my friends wanted to play board games. My friend’s house was super far away but this place was great!

There were lots of selections and we decided to play Catan and exploding kittens. I have not tried a drink but I would next time. Workers were really nice too :)“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“Cozy place with excellent atmosphere and wonderful and delicious food.

I tried the mix platter and it was amazing! Se fresh, natural and everything has it unique flavor.

At the and, a very well prepared alfogato was the great finally“

“Got the smoked salmon tartine and HOLY COW was it delicious. Visiting from out of town, and a local friend suggested we meet here. I’m so glad we decided on here. Convenient location right off the subway, and Maricello was an excellent server. 10/10 — would come back again.“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Ygeor was extremely attentive to us at the table. Came with my mom and grandma to catch up and the food was great and even though they were out of some stuff and had to do some swaps everything was great. Great lighting, pretty solid food and prices, would come again for sure.“

“this corner spot caught our eye at around 9 on a thursday with it’s red glow & cute sunken dining room that is visible from the street. the ambiance - warm and cozy. the service - quick and very personable. the bartender is awesome. the food & drink - perfect. got the spiked horchata drink n a birria res gordita, both amazing and still thinking about… ***the best fresh masa/tortillas pressed right before serving - all within view from the bar - dinner n a show. literally can’t say enough good things. excited to come back. :)“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“Live in the neighborhood and just tried this place out for the first time and it was fantastic. The baristas were super friendly and it had great ambience. I got the cold brew which was not that expensive relative to some other coffee shops, and was delicious.“

“the ambience is top notch,the food is delicious,the server adriana is so pleasant,courteous & knows her job well.The manager Sasha is hands on & ensuring everyone is comfortable.highly recommend the fois gras,the scallop souffle,the full lobster & crab for appetiser.“

“One of the best places for brunch in NYC. Everything was fresh and delicious.“

“I love this place so much and it always hits the spot. It’s such a homey vibe and I’m always so impressed with how efficiently they can make food considering how small the open kitchen is. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they all slap. I love the effort that’s put into the presentation and you really can’t beat the price.

Most importantly i love that the kitchen is like 3 tias - it tugs my heart strings“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“Food was good and friendly customer service. I will recommend everyone this place.“

“The best in the neighborhood!“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“Love their cold brew coffee，If you’re looking for a charming place with a great atmosphere, you can’t pass HI-Collar up.“

“Matcha Cafe Maiko is my favorite spot for desserts! This spot is my go-to, especially when I'm craving matcha or hojicha flavors. The Maiko Special is always one of my favorites to order and share with a friend, but this month's specials were black sesame which I knew I had to try as well! I ordered the black sesame soft serve and my friend ordered the black sesame latte, and both were incredible! I'm a huge fan of black sesame flavored desserts, and these really hit the spot.

Also loved how the shop was decorated beautifully for Halloween! Amazing quality desserts, service, and vibes. I also appreciate how this location has a few benches outside, so when I visit with friends, we're able to sit together right outside the shop and enjoy our desserts. I've been here several times and will definitely will keep coming back!“

“Loved every dish- fluke with black tea, mint and peach(who knew raw fish and fruit went so well together?), amazing grilled artichokes and grilled eggplant. Barely touched my pasta with preserved lemon because I was full, but it was delicious. My daughter’s burger was iconic. The Platonic ideal of hamburgers. Coffee was also delicious. If we had not made a plan to go to La Cabral for dessert and more coffee, I am sure dessert would have been equally excellent.Service was excellent and our waitress was knowledgeable and interested in the food.The fluke reminded me of the first time I went to USC in 1988. I had a plate with raw marinated tuna, raw salmon and raw scallops. The little heaps of fish were so pretty on the plate with their contrasting colors.“

“We had a wonderful meal here. My girlfriend loves to eat healthy and they had several healthy options, as well as, diverse offering of food, cafe and even mimosas for me.

If you are at the Park Ave location, definitely ask for Mimi she provides excellent Customer Service. We highly recommend Tartinery!“

“After hearing great things about Land to Sea, we made the trip all the way from Long Island City—with our foster dog Mission in tow! The staff were so kind and even offered him ice water on a hot morning, which we really appreciated. We sat outside and were grateful for the shaded seating.

I had the roast pork bun and coconut bun—both were absolutely delicious! Perfectly chewy, moist, and full of authentic flavor.

Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back!

“Really happy to find that place! Great real coffee and very friendly staff.“

“Stumbled upon this gem with some friends. To my delight, this place is fantastic.

I got the strawberry gelato and decaf cappuccino, though i tried my friends’ vanilla gelato and starberry milkshake. All were superb. I was not expecting such high quality.

I am an ice cream and milkshake enthusiast — and this would rate as one of the best.

The owner is also very sweet.

10/10!“

“Thick cut bacon, egg and cheese on a poppy roll with a yolk that bursts on the first bite. The perfect pick me up on a rainy nyc day. Iced latte pairs well with the crullers. Great to sit and catch up with friends over some daily provisions“

“Absolutely love this place
Discovered it yesterday and I already went twice - isn’t that insane ?

Grace and Justin provided flawless service. Including the lady who closed (I’m an asshole and came the last 30 mins before closing. Please don’t do this).

Would return a million times“

“Took two trips here on the same day to sample something for brunch and for lunch. For starters, the place is pretty big despite how the place looks from the entrance. The people working behind the counter were pretty cool, service was on point. For breakfast I had the Nutella Custard Croffle and a can of Celsius. The croffle was delightful for sure, pleasing to the taste buds though one small complaint...I don't think croffles are a good base for any sandwich because it was messy eating that, the croffle was kinda all over the place eating it.

Came back here for lunch after a few hours in the gym to order a Mocha Haze Power Smoothie and a Smoked Turkey Croffle. Croffle sandwiches here are delicious as a whole but they are very unstable and can leave a mess so as a note, ALWAYS ask for extra napkins. The smoothie was very good and filling too. I could see myself coming around here a couple more times, trying out as much of their expansive menu as I possibly could.“

“Service is very friendly and prompt. Atmosphere is very airy and bright. They have a wide selection of great pastries, breakfast and light lunches.“

“super sweet staff and great lattes! while I hung out to do work, I noticed everyone behind the counter was friendly and chatted with literally everyone who came in. great vibes, comfy seating for hanging for a bit. would love to gatekeep this place to keep it chill and quiet, but they deserve the review more! highly recommend ♥️“

“enjoyed my Sunday morning with relishing brunch!“

“Turboboost to become really happy!“

“My opinion is 9.1/10. Def lived up to hype. I had the yuzu, has a lemon flavor and I did enjoy it. If back in the area would try other flavors I heard the boba is what they are know for.

“good food the most amazing jerk chicken and the best drinks“

“My go-to everyday 4 days a week! I love it here. The coffee is always fresh and well-made and so are the sandwiches. My go-to's are the avocado toast, the hummus veg sandwich and the chicken milanese sandwich. So so good. The workers are so nice and they always remember you, having your drink ready.
Thank you guys so much.“

“The chef here knows how to use spices just right. The staff offered prompt assistance with respectful and helpful attitudes. The restaurant occupies a convenient position. Each taste melted instantly as I tried to make it last forever. This restaurant gets my support.“

“AMAZINGGGG BUBBLE TEA, CREPE, ROLLED ICE CREAM & MORE!!! WILL BE BACK FOR SURE“

“mi piace tanto il vostro posto,e veramente un piccolo parte della nostra Italia mandato qui a new York, grazie ragazzi 👌🥂“

“Came in for after dinner SWEET GOODNESS and boy, were they ON POINT! Waffle N Sip did not dissappoint. And I had the advantage of watching the staff make the strawberry waffle and I was so delighted! Such dedication and effort you can SEE AND TASTE. We'll definitely be back!“

“Popped in for a quick latte while waiting for a friend — ended up chilling way longer than planned. Cozy downstairs, peaceful backyard, and super fresh coffee. Baha, the barista, was incredibly kind and made the whole place feel extra welcoming. A total gem in the Upper East Side. Saved and starred!“

“I live right down the block, and Tenz is hands down my favorite coffee. First off the owner is so friendly and remembered my order w in 2 times of going, and it’s always delicious. But beyond that it’s the most affordable coffee I’ve come across and a bonus somehow they are always playing bangers. Try them out you will not be disappointed!“

“Absolutely loved their pistachio soufflé—it was incredible! The cold brew was a bit too strong for our taste, but they had a wide variety of other beverages on the menu. While the drinks are a bit on the pricier side, that’s expected for NYC. Plenty of seating available with convenient table service too.“

“It’s flavorful and doesn’t have all that extra sugar. Easy to make. I love the recipes people are sending in as well!“

“The food is absolutely fabulous. It is presented beautifully. We were going to go to the place next door, but due to the wait there, we ended up at Good Thanks. Such a delightful mistake. So much so that we came down again all the way from East Harlem to come back once more before the end of our trip. This is a must visit.“

“If you're looking for a cozy spot to relax, enjoy great coffee, and indulge in delicious bites, Liebre Cafe is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The staff is always friendly. Trust me, everything I've tried has been fantastic.“

“I went there for dinner tonight with my fiance and we were treated like royalty, the owner and his family served us a scrumptious authenticly Italian mea and gave us a tour of the restored Blue Moon Hotel. It felt like we were stepping back in time yet with all the conveniences of modern day luxuries. Thank you for a memorable evening.“

“My first time coming here today and wow!! 10/10, this is one of the best and freshest smoothies I’ve ever had. It was so sweet even though it didn’t have any added sugar and the owners are so nice, I would definitely recommend especially if you live in the neighborhood!“

“Great food with incredibly sweet staff!! The labneh zatar croffle was out of this world and the guy who took care of us really went the extra mile— asking about food allergies and recommending a nearby park to sit in. Even gave us a carrier for our free to-go waters. I don’t live in this neighborhood but I’ll definitely come back then next time I’m in the area! Stopping in legit made my day better ❤️“
