“This establishment is truly exceptional. The family who runs it is wonderful, and their customer service is outstanding. They consistently treat me with great warmth and kindness. I have a deep affection for them and their food. I initially discovered them through Too Good To Go. Their offerings are consistently fresh, of high quality, and possess an amazing taste.“

“We got the Strawberry Matcha Latte and Ice Coffee with Oat milk.

The matcha latte was really good with the perfect level of sweetness.

Iced coffee kinda tasted burnt

They offer vegan milk options“

“The coffee house is chill, places to sit, wait time isn't bad at all. The staff are kind and accommodating and the prices are fair too (trust me, it's not outrageous!)

Besides that, this place host some events on Thursdays (every other Thursday, dont quote me though) and if you're new to Sunnyside I recommend it!

TLDR: support local and come here!“

“If u’re looking for the cozy atmosphere where it offers delicious coffee and pastries, I’d definitely recommend this place. The cafe is just 3mins walk from the woodside station, so it’s quite convenient if u wanna drop off and enjoy a sip of coffee before or after ur work. The interior is spacious, clean and has restroom access to customers. This was my 2nd time visiting and I really love their signature Pistachio Einspanner (Pistachio Cream Latte). Its taste is literally AMAZING!! The owner lady and male staff there are very friendly and patient too. I’d love to visit next time.“

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

Good vibes and energy here.“

“Such a great spot! Not just because of the quality masa, delicious fillings, and casual atmosphere, but they also carry great agave spirits (I had some Amatiteña blanco during my last visit, and even the price point was... *Drum roll ... On point (Thank you! I'll let myself out).“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“I was traveling for my studies, and it was incredible for the time I spent here. Our bartender was Frank, a great person. I won't forget him. This place is perfect for disconnecting and getting a good meal. Without a doubt, I'll be back on my next trip.“

“I stopped by this Australian brunch restaurant after seeing some great reviews. I wasn’t sure what to order, so I asked the staff for recommendations and tried these three dishes:

- Mushroom Toast: Don’t let the simple name fool you. This one was packed with rich mushroom flavor. One bite and I was hooked!

- Kangaroo Tucker: My first time trying kangaroo meat! It didn’t have any off-putting smell and paired nicely with the sauce. A bit on the chewy side, though—definitely a fun one-time experience 😅

- Strawberry Tiramisu: Exactly what you'd expect and more—sweet creamy tiramisu topped with fresh strawberries and a tangy berry purée. Great combo!✨

Overall, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was super friendly. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a good spot in Williamsburg.“

““Had a really great experience at Tartinery Café near Columbus Circle. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, perfect for brunch and enjoying the city vibe.

The Roast Beef Tartine was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Great coffee, friendly service, and an overall very enjoyable spot in New York. Definitely a place we’d love to visit again.”“

“Nice environment, relaxing music, love the chicken sandwich and lamb Haneeth sandwich waffle fries are delicious I’m hooked on brown sugar cardemon iced coffee and service is always with a Smile no indoor seating yet but they do have limited outdoor seating a must try other foods and beverages available 😃“

“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!“

“Perfect 5 star review. Since the moment I ented I only encountered great customer service, I had a great talk with one of the workers and he served me a pink lemonade and a cookie. Even though the order was simple, the execution and taste left a lasting impression. The atmosphere felt cozy and sweet. Will definitely come back again!“

“What a delightful little breakfast/brunch place!!! We went here straight from the airport on our way into town, luggage and all, and it was perfect! We sat in the little outside area with the fans because the A/C was broken inside. My mom ordered the Grey Dog’s Breakfast with her eggs scrambled, French toast, and bacon, and it’s served with home fries. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant minus the parsley (not my fave) and added bacon. I’m picky about my home fries, so the server offered me french fries instead. We had exactly zero complaints about our meal. The portions are big, the eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the French toast had this sweet butter with it that I can’t even compare to anything because it was so unique and delicious. The home fries ended up being DELICIOUS. The French fries were also good. I enjoyed the seasoning on them as well. I’m not a big fan of the thing shoe string fries, but these were good! The three employees we encountered were all very friendly and I would be more than happy to eat here again any time.“

“Le Café Louis Vuitton was the perfect way to close out my wedding weekend. I got married on Saturday, and the only reservation I could secure was Sunday dinner for two—so I celebrated with my sister, and honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a more memorable experience. Hopefully I’ll be back with the hubby soon!

We did the Culinary Journey menu, which started with a beautiful amuse-bouche: a warm soup served with the LV monogram. It was delicious, comforting, and surprisingly homey. It was such an inviting way to begin the meal. Drinks were ok—we got the lychee highball and passion twist.

Our server recommended the ravioli, and I’m so glad we listened. The mushroom and truffle flavors were bold and earthy in the best way (exactly how I like them), making it a standout course. The ceviche was more of a refreshing palate cleanser—light, bright, and tasty.

For mains, both the chicken and filet mignon were great. The chicken had an incredible sauce and perfectly crispy skin. The filet mignon was absolutely delicious and cooked beautifully, tender and flavorful throughout.

The complimentary sides truly stole the show. I would order the broccolini with its subtle hint of heat and the mashed potatoes again and again—they were SO good and easily some of the best parts of the meal.

Dessert was indulgent. The chocolate entremet was rich but not overly sweet, while the hazelnut entremet tasted just like a Ferrero Rocher—decadent, nostalgic, and satisfying.

To make the night even more special, we were surprised with complimentary chocolates and a small vanilla treat in celebration of my wedding, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch.

From the food to the service, everything felt intentional and celebratory. Le Café LV delivered not just an exceptional meal, but a genuinely joyful experience—one I’ll always associate with a very special moment in my life. 💍✨

03/13/26 Update: Returned for dinner and had another 10/10 experience! The service is incredibly consistent and just as attentive as the first time.

We did the Culinary Journey again—Crab Louis, Black Bass, and the Chocolate Monogram to finish. The amuse-bouche and sides were once again a hit and really set the tone for the meal.

For drinks, the Capucine Twist was excellent and I’d definitely recommend it over the Highball.

Always a great experience here. Can’t wait to try breakfast/afternoon tea!“

“The best Algerian restaurant in NYC, no doubt 🥰“

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

“Vale’s Kafe & Kitchen is a hidden gem in Union City. The atmosphere is cozy and charming, like you’re visiting a friend. The service is professional and attentive. The food … oh so good! Clean and flavorful. The portions are just right, not outrageous. The coffee is also very good. The only setback I see is the entrance is not
accessible. I would suggest a ramp for those customers that have difficulty walking up/down steps. Also hours could be extended, say to include dinner on the weekend (Fri/Sat). Otherwise a must see.“

“Great coffee, great atmosphere and great service. The barista was very friendly and authentic. They had everything I love in a coffee shop; computer charging areas, all different types of coffee from espresso to drip to cold brew. Cold brew was smooth and flavorful. She talked me into the croissant and it was worth it! She’s say it’s baked fresh and it tasted like it. Thanks for the great experience.“

“amazing hot chocolate and cakes. i am not sure the wait to sit in is worth it though as i felt a little rushed. but to take away you wont be dissapointed.“

“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.“

“Diogo is the best! Drinks are so refreshing and hit the spot especially right after work. We arrived around 5:30 when the place just started to get busy. Diogo helped us grab a table so we didn’t need to stand at the bar after a long work day“

“Amazing food and the service was great and attentive! Had a cappuccino with oat milk and a breakfast plate with avocado toast and French toast to share. Very flavorful meal and the espresso was amazing.

I also really loved how they decorated the place with a variety of portraits and positive affirmations around the cafe!

Will definitely visit again next time with friends and family to try out more food options and drinks! :)“

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

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

“Just ate here. I had a mocha and a pollo asado taco and a coke. The taco was really good! My only complaint was that I didn’t order a second taco! 🤤😂😁“

“I was there for a meet and greet and loved staying a few extra minutes to pet the dogs in the cafe. Such a nice break in my day!“

“Wow. I have to say that I found this place on a whim working around the area, and this place is a gem! Want to thank my girl, Naya, for being sweet for getting my food done near closing. Plus major compliments to the Chef because my chickgrilla sandwich was everything I imagined it to be—coming from someone who doesn’t prefer grilled chicken on her sandwiches, the chickgrilla was very flavorful and moist (not soggy tho!!!). The goat cheese was a perfect compliment and not overpowering at all. I literally ate my sandwich on the commute back home 😂 Looking forward to coming back and trying the others~ yummy 🥪“

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

“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.

“Wonderful, caring staff(Grand Central Station)“

“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.“

“I love everything about Meow Parlor…especially Mama and Papa, the cat beds they make ( I now own 7) & daughter & hubby. AND BABY CORN, of course (& new friend Sid)—please please like, follow & subscribe to videos of the sweetest wobbly kitten in the world!“

“Awesome design! Friendly atmosphere! BUREKASIM!“

“My favorite spot to work & eat in Jersey City Heights.“

“I am obsessed with Café Miguel's café de olla. I have been chasing the taste of that Mexican coffee since first trying it in Mexico City years ago, and theirs is incredible. The brunch line can be long, but it's worth it; the chilaquiles are delicious. I have no idea how they make so many different things so fast in that tiny, open air kitchen.“

“Great food and customer service. Try their breakfast sandwiches. The brioche is amazing!“

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

“Really cool mix of coffee shop and chinatown pork buns and other chinese style pastries

I got the cream tart and the pork bun. Both were really good.

Only downside is the entire place was full of people sitting with their laptops so wasnt able to sit anywhere inside.“

“Benjamin was truly the best of the best. He greeted me with a warm smile and was very patient, even taking my orders with care. He really was the real deal. He served me hot chocolate and a croissant, and he even gave me a cup to enjoy the rest of my chocolate on the go. I’ll definitely come back again because of the top-tier service he provided. Bravo, Tartinery!“

“I've been to a lot of coffee shops in my life, and this is my favorite. The coffee is good, the service is super fast, and the employees are genuinely nice people.

But what really makes this place special is that it actually feels like a local community spot. There currently are only three people I've ever seen working behind the counter, and it was special to watch them expand from their tiny shop to a larger location.

So many coffee shops feel soulless, but this place is different...You can really tell they care about what they've built here. The design seems so thoughtful – there are these cute cartoon animals on the walls, and Tenz told me they put them there specifically so babies in strollers have something to look at while their parents wait in line. I feel lucky to live near a shop that so much care has been put into!“
