Great hazelnut coffee.My morning hang out. Place is cozy and bagels are always fresh. Love this local place.
I came here on a whim because my sister needed some coffee to start off her day. I went ahead and ordered a chai tea latte since I'm not really a coffee person. The chai came out in a timely manner and was piping hot. I took a sip when it cooled down a bit and was really taken aback by just how sweet it was. They definitely went overboard with the milk because I didn't get too much of a chai taste. It was still good but more chai and less milk next time, please! It almost felt like I was drinking just cinnamon milk for a while haha.
Pretty run of the mill brasserie-themed cafe that is only for people living on the neighborhood. I can't for the life of me think of any reason why anybody should walk more than 2 blocks to go have food here. Just so happened we were walking by and decided to stop in for some coffee and croissants. I am sure this is fairly common for other cafes around the city but the pastries seemed to have been trucked in from Balthazar, which basically killed any chance of these guys getting a better rating as they're now just the repackager of other people's food.
Pass.
I've been coming here for awhile now and seem to get the same experience every time. The individuals at the counter who take the order always seem to be miserable or just look annoyed. The staff who prepare the food/coffee are friendly. The coffee is great and there's a lot of different choices. The food is quite delicious as well..always find myself getting some type of egg sandwich. However, their yogurt parfait lacks granola and fruits. Too much yogurt and not enough granola or fruits. Good spot to come in for some basic meals
This is a local place and they come in and settle in. Go for it.
The bagels are stacked, so don't be surprised if your plain bagel tastes something like an everything bagel.
It is small, but I heard it is much larger than the original which was really more of just a coffee shop. Service was okay, water was only room temperature in a miniscule cup. It really was just okay, nothing special.
I've been here a few times and really enjoyed it. I like their thin style bagels and their paninis are great. Last time had the Chipotle Chicken Panini. It was delicious! I had half immediately and reheated the other half 2 days later and it still tasted great!
I would not recommend coming here if your in a hurry. Everything is prepared after you order it so it takes a little while to get your food.
Cozy cafe on the Upper East side. This place is very busy during lunchtime, so expect to wait for a table or snatch one as soon as it becomes available. The free wifi reels in a lot of people. I stopped by recently and was craving a chai latte. I got it iced since it was a warm day and they were pretty speedy with their orders. When I took a sip, it was so so sweet. Either they over-did it with the syrup (or powder/whatever they use to flavor it). I asked them to add more skim milk in hopes to dilute the cloyingly sweet taste. And on top of that, it was a bit pricey. I also tried their chocolate covered coconut macaroon which was okay. It wasn't as moist as I would have liked.
I'll have to come back to update my review once I try the other items. However, I don't know if I'll be getting that chai latte again. Eek.
Contrary to their hours on Google, they close at 5:30 on Sundays, not at 7. Would be frustrating but acceptable if they posted hours on their door and I had just failed to notice, but they don't do that either (the Sunday hours are peeled off), so when the barista rudely told all the patrons (and I was not the only one sitting there expecting to be able to work until 7) that we needed to leave RIGHT NOW, I was a little annoyed. Their management should really work on making sure that their hours are clearly noted online, especially if they're not going to post them anywhere else.
I was so excited to find a cafe with lots of seating, but I'd rather go somewhere that will stay open when they say they will. The tea I got was unremarkable, and I'm not going to go back to support a place that can't be bothered to tell their customers when they're going to kick them out, or even be polite about it when they do so.
