This place should be ashamed of themselves!! They take advantage of all the children who purchase food here in the morning before school. They have sign that says the buttered bagel is $2.75 however, they are charging children either $4 or $6 WITH NO DRINK, depending on who is at the cashier. I went inside and spoke with the cashier, and she said "it must be a mistake, or it could be taxes" but it wasn't! Taxes is not $1.25 on $2.75 It has happened multiple times! I NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE STORE MGR IMMEDIATELY!!!! This is a cruel practice, to take from children who use their allowance to enjoy breakfast.

We always enjoy eating here. Every time I stop in, it's busy, but that doesn't stop them from always looking clean. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the staff is always friendly. And 100% of the profits going back into the community - that's a win-win. A+

I went to get a bagel with cream cheese and bacon the price that they had on the wall, was $4.25. When she rang me up it was $6.60. I told her that it was a false advertisement and you have to change it. She said that it’s the boss have to change it. I ask her to give the price that it was on well, she said no.

The food is decent. Chicken quesadilla, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks at least.The staff (not manager) tries to shut down as early as possible (more than a half hour before closing time they rush people to make decisions and clean the grill so a third of the menu disappears. It's obvious they don't want to be here, and visible on their faces.

Pretty good. Fast service and fresh ingredients. My only suggestion is I don't like the coffee. I'm not sure if it's the machine but it didn't taste right the 2 times I tried it.

I set my expectations low ONLY because I have never been here, what a mistake. I ordered a NYC standard and they delivered. My Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich was phenomenal. The Roll was as soft as a cloud, the Eggs were fluffy and the Bacon was cooked to a nice crunch. The Coffee I ordered was a perfect compliment to my sandwich and they even had almond milk which I used in place of milk or cream.I will gladly order here again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Dietary restrictions: I could not have milk or cream and I was pleased to know that they were able to accommodate me with an alternative.

This is by far the worst kind of cafeteria food I’ve ever experienced. NYC schoolie better than this. Everything is super dry, no flavor, no nothing. They need to put a better food restaurant since we paying an arm and a leg to come to school.and charging $3.20 for an Arizona is a crime. They charge almost $8 for a bacon eggs and cheese and they try to charge people for forks. Bagels mad hard and people have attitudes to put ketchup when they forget. Don’t update their menu at all with new prices. Like that’a mad weird
Wow! The Commons cafe gets super busy around lunchtime, the service is fast and efficient had a couple great sandwiches custom made salad bar everything was perfect the prices are right as well. Hardworking staff.

I have eaten at the cafe several times in the past years. Food and service was always fine. I recently visited The establishment as I was working in the area. I'm a city employee and needed to complete some of my paperwork for the work day. Once I sat down, within 3 minutes an employee approached me and asked if I was buying anything and if not I need to leave. Needless to say they have lost my business.

I started working in the area and decided to get a chicken wrap. It actually tasted awful and since I'm diabetic I had to have something to eat so I took the chicken out and ate the rest. My stomach has been in bad shape since Monday. I still have discomfort. I will never eat there again!! Beware.

Had breakfast. Egg sandwich was ok, homefries were oily. Coffee was not very hot.
