Black & white cookie: perfection.
Two and a half stars? Seriously? This place is worth more than that, from what I've seen so far.
I (unfortunately) work across the street. Fluffy's is usually a convenient place to get coffee in the morning for at LEAST $.25 less than the other delis. However, I must say, the food I've tried isn't half bad. Awhile back I had a grilled cheese and some soup and the price was better than anywhere else in the neighborhood.
Today, after a fruitless search for vegetable soup (this was the fourth place I tried), I found that Fluffy's had cream of mushroom (close enough). It was DELICIOUS. It almost tasted like there was butter in it or something – whatever the ingredients were, they were comforting to my sickly little body. The soup comes with a free piece of roll, too – all for $4.08. Lastly, their 'small' soup is larger than any I've seen around here.
I'm pretty sure some of the 1-star reviews are from trolls (for example I've never seen a roach in here or any other signs of a dirty atmosphere)…so…don't knock this place until you've tried it.
After the opera, I was so hungry. This was the only place open around our hotel. I ate a prosciutto and mozzarella. I have to admit it was pretty damn good. Lace with sweet red peppers and spicy mayo sauce and cure my hunger real good.
To preface, Fluffy's is your standard, very crowded midtown cafe swarming with tourists (this place is steps from Carnegie Hall, Times Square, and Central Park). That said, the food here is shockingly incredible (particularly the breakfast specials) and more than worth the commotion. As someone who lived half a block from Fluffy's for two years, there is something about the way they make french toast (and I can't figure out what it is) that makes their french toast some of the best in Manhattan. The custom pasta option menu is also a favorite, with nearly every type of pasta, sauce, and add-in imaginable. Outside of the bakery items (which Midtown cafes have a tendency to excessively markup), most of the menu items are very attractively priced (with most of the breakfast and dinner items anywhere from $5-8 dollars).
Service is fast and friendly. Definitely swing by if you're in the area (and don't forget to try the French Toast).
Take-out breakfast in bed: delicious Greek omelet and potatoes with white, buttered toast. Black tea = Lipton (not my preferred tea, but perfectly adequate). The only con would be that I didn't love the sausage patty: next time, bacon!
Had a good breakfast. The seating is very limited, so probably better if you are taking and running if you have more than a couple of people. The people behind the counter were very kind and provided a few doughnuts for the kids while they were waiting for their food to be prepared. Good place; good value; good service.
While the pastries here look delicious, the actual taste is meh at best. I got a Napoleon and it just didn't satisfy. I took 3-4 bites and tossed the rest out…not worth the calories based on both taste and texture. My friend had a similar experience with the cannoli she got. The desserts here, from what we tried, definitely look better than they taste….
My daughter is new to the neighborhood and we needed a quick bite while moving her into her new apartment. The chicken Parmesan sandwich was delicious. It's our first visit and it was take out bur we are looking forward to trying other menu items.
