I ordered the full meal: Philly cheesesteak, french fries and homemade lemonade which was a good deal but I had to wait forever for it. When I mentioned that to the cashier she shrugged and said there are other people to attend to. True, there were a few other people but no rush of customers. I've been to places with a much longer line/far more customers and have gotten my food much faster.
Then I tasted my meal and it wasn't very good. The fries in particular were completely tasteless. I got up to return my food and someone behind the counter (perhaps the manager?) said he wouldn't give my money back. Since it's a deli, they may have a right to say that but I did eventually get my money back and the person then said "you're lucky that you're getting your money back in the first place" in a very rude tone and told me not to come back. Extremely rude. I wouldn't want to come back anyway because I wouldn't want to waste my money or time there but the situation could have been dealt with much more graciously.
Avoid at all costs!
Loads of options; salad bar, sandwiches, bagels, cold and hot food, etc. Their bagels are pretty delicious and not too big like some bagel places in NYC. It makes me feel so much less guilty when I indulge in a New York bagel here because of the decreased size. They have an OK selection, including egg, whole wheat everything, multigrain, poppy and others. I went with a multi grain toasted with veggie cream cheese and was so relieved upon opening my bagel that they didn't load on 8 pounds of cream cheese like most places do. It was the perfect amount, the veggie cream cheese was delicious. The cafe isn't huge but there are a couple of tables inside. The customer service wasn't really friendly, but it was a busy Sunday morning so I couldn't blame them. Standard prices for a cafe on the Upper West Side.
I love it here. It is your one stop shop to a quick and delicious meal and the people that work there are pretty great. Salads are BOMB. You can even ask them to chop it up for you. Best chicken tenders ever…but that's because I really love their breading. Awesome wraps, sandwiches, and desserts. What more does a girl need?
Cafe on Broadway is some good shtuff.
"Create your own pasta"
This place is amazing with this feature.you can choose the noodles you would like for your pasta. They offer linguini,penne,ziti,rigatoni just to name a few! When u finish picking the pasta of your choice, you can hand it to the chief and they will bring you to the meats and seafood section.
"Meats/seafood etc.."
So the chief brings you to this section and let's you choose any veggies, meats, or seafoods you want (I usually add broccoli, shrimp, and chicken) and he then begins to take you to the sauce and spices station.
"Sauces and Spices"
They have an arrangements of sauces and spices available for you to choose. From Alfredo(my favorite) to penne vodka they have many unique sauces to try so if your stomach can handle it I say try each one over time.
"The end result"
The pasta ended up costing less than 10 dollars and, the best part was that portions was not overwhelming, it will take u some time to finish the plate. Overall win here!
I really don't know what I expect when I decide to go out on a limb and order a pastry with my morning coffee. Somehow, I always forget that I don't really like their pastries because I can never finish them – they make me feel sick halfway through. Yet, for some reason, I think that ordering different ones will make me feel otherwise.
I haven't found a pastry that has been able to disprove that point yet.
The morning cashier woman is super friendly and cheerful. I think the manager is a little creepy looking but whatever, right?
Things here are definitely overpriced, especially if you're buying a pastry. However, I think that their coffee is pretty on point. I mean. It's not as cheap as the coffee you can get at Columbia but it's way better than Dunkin donuts coffee.
I definitely just come here for the coffee. I need to remind myself that the pastries aren't worth it.
This review is based on a delivery, not in store experience. Because of that, this one will be a more "bullet point" style since I basically just have a list of facts.
What we ordered: 2 small coffees, egg and cheese on a roll, and french toast breakfast.
Order took approximately 40 minutes on a Monday morning at 10:00.
Food tastiness: I mean, it's hard to mess up egg on a roll, french toast was good, bacon was pretty overcooked, coffee was weak.
Delivery service: sandwich was fine, french toast was served with a separate bag of butter and syrup on the side and came in it's own plate-style container, coffee lids were really cheap and therefore about a quarter of the coffee had spilled out of each cup. They were each placed in their own plastic baggy so they didn't spill on any of the food or make a mess, but my guess is the plastic bags are a result of knowing the coffee spills frequently, but not wanting to just invest in better cups and lids to prevent a bit of the spilling.
Won't order delivery from here again, but I would potentially try dining in if it's an option.
Stopped here for lunch on more than one occasion – usually on the way to the museum. I like to order a roast beef & provolone sandwich on a roll, and it's amazing. Their fries and mozzarella sticks are great too. Boyfriend loves their soup. They have a huge selection, and they seem to make everything well.
The only downside is the tight and limited seating, but you can usually find a seat after a few minutes … or squeeze in with someone else. Most people seem to order and go anyway.
