Cafe Amrita
“It's very close to morning side park and Central Park , two beautiful places.”
“Mostly functioning as a cafe, they also have a full bar with the usual selections of domestic beer on tap.”
“TVs around are good for just solo chillin and with all the laptops whipped out along the side wall- seems they have accessible wifi.”

I'm rating this place as a bar. It took too long for these baristas to serve up a cool Guinness! I shouldn't be so hard on this place, for it's rare to find a coffee shop/bar hop in one locale. There should be more, but I guess the clientele wouldn't mix too well. People jacked up on caffeine are so annoyinggg.
I'm a great fan of this neighborhood cosy cafe. Always busy, great simple food, full bar. Looks like a College library with everyone studying and becomes young parents central in the week ends. I also often get the pan inis to go, quiet good and not too expensive.
– Okay coffee, very friendly barista
– Great place to sit down and get work done or have a conversation
– Right next to the subway station
Love Amrita. I have been going here for a long time and am never disappointed. My roommate used to work here so it really is my go to place. It is a place for locals so you get to know the names of those who frequent the cafe and the awesome staff.
It is a bit French so during the day it is great to get a pastry or a bagel with smoked salmon and read the paper. And then In the evening, it is great to grab a glass of wine with a friend. I live right next door and love popping in and chatting with the people behind the counter.
Seriously love this place.
Lovely little place near the north end of the park, i ended up coming to this place for the first two times this past weekend as my girlfriend and i looked for a place to sit, relax and enjoy some coffee on a rainy NY day. The baristas are super friendly, and even the customers are quite nice, i ended up having a conversation with two random strangers, something that doesn't happen every day here! The coffee is delicious, and the bagels are very tasty, we've had (over the 2 trips) the plain (with butter), sesame (with cream cheese) and wheat (with bacon, egg and cheese) bagels and all were really filling, with the latter being very VERY good!
Most importantly, this place is quite cheap, and taking into account the comfortable atmosphere, the TVs for watching sports events, and friendly environment, I am sure we have stumbled on the perfect little neighborhood cafe at which we plan to become regulars!
I really wanted to like this place but I just didn't. Their chai latte was not very good and the lid that the barista put on my cup was gross and grimy and looked like something had been spilled on it or like it had been used before. For the price it was totally not worth it. Also, what kind of place shuts their wifi off on the weekends? I will not be back.
Wish this place were a little closer to my apartment – would prove to be an ideal study-spot! Lots of space, very chill environment, and good selection of food at a reasonable price. I ordered the broccoli and cheddar quiche that comes with a side salad. It was quite yummy. At first I was afraid it would be a small slice and something they just popped in the microwave – but I couldn't have been more wrong. It was a good portion and, although I am sure they simply heated up one from earlier in the day, it had clearly been made fresh there. It also just felt nice there – seemed like everyone knew each other and were regulars. Who knows, perhaps since I will be at Columbia next year, I will become a regular…
I arrived here an hour before closing and thought the service was a tad rude. My overall experience was ok. The tea was affordable and there was free wifi (allowed only after 4pm on weekdays to prevent students from hogging tables) The lighting was a bit too dim for my liking and there was only one spot with an available outlet but it was cozy and I'd return again based on it's convenient location and price. 3 stars shall suffice.
