For a quick meal with no frills Green Cafe is a good option.
The salad bar drew me in at $7.95 for a small, $8.95 for a large. Includes choice of lettuce, 4 veggies, one protein, one crunch (i.e. nuts, croutons etc) and one cheese. The ingredients all appear fresh and are appetizing in presentation. They even chop it up for you when they mix it. The restaurant feels clean and well lit.
There are tables and chairs and a big screen tv to watch as you dine. Call me insecure, but some places I feel weird eating in alone, but Green Cafe is totally amenable to a solo diners just trying to grab a quick meal.
Glancing at the menu the prices on most things seemed reasonable although slightly inconsistent. i.e. $1.25 for a small coffee seems reasonable, but a ham egg and cheese on a roll is a little steep at $3.95. Some of the drinks and snacks are a little overpriced. i.e $2 for small bag of chips. Just be cognizant of the prices and you shouldn't get ripped off.
This new cafe just recently opened not too far from the subway stop I use to get back and forth to work. It's a nice addition the the area, and is definitely an improvement over the disgusting bagel shop that used to be in this spot. It's also an alternative to the Starbucks in the hood when craving a cup of coffee.
The space itself is bright and cheerful looking. Still clean and shiny new. I noticed a manager/owner was barking out orders to the staff and having them make sure all was in order. I know they call this a cafe yet to me it's basically a glorified deli that is a step above with a large variety of food options and seating inside. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, pastries, coffees, cold drinks, salad bar, sandwiches, soups, entrees, desserts, pasta bar, etc.
I had an egg white and turkey sandwich here, and a cup of coffee before heading to work today for about $5. Not too bad, but pretty standard and served it's purpose. Seems they have multiple locations throughout the city so it is like a mini-chain of sorts. Still good to see something like this open up on the UES rather than another useless cell phone store or bodega.
I popped in here after a long work way and while on the way to the Guggenheim Museum. I needed a quick snack to hold me over while waiting in the long line to enter on a pay what you'd like day. I ordered a smoothie and a cinnamon raisin roll with a little icing drizzle over it. Either I was very hungry and it was great or as my friend said who was not particularly hungry, it was just alright. The smoothie was finished with OJ which kind of overpowered the drink. It was good but would've been much better with a different finisher.
I like Green cafe, especially their bagels. This place should have a higher rating.
Just what the neighborhood ordered–the kind of unpretentious midtown-ish cafe that offers a little bit of everything.
Open from 7 am to 10 or 11 pm, this sunny new space offers breakfast (hot and cold), smoothies, a juice bar, sandwiches/wraps/paninis/quesadillas, soup, custom salads, hot entrees, coffee of all kinds, and desserts. Today being opening day, there was a certain amount of chaos, but the cheerful staff was handling it with aplomb. There's seating, including a nice banquette against one wall, and delivery.
My chicken panini was good, my smoothie a bit watery (and lacking a to-go lid). Nothing on the lengthy menu looks brilliant or even unusual, but everything is solid, and the folks here seem eager to get things right.
The place was overrun after school with Dalton students. I suspect they may treat it as a off-premises cafeteria. If, like most of humanity, you need coffee around 3:30, approach with caution.
Good place to pop in for a quick bite. Pretty typical NYC (Manhattan) prices, with paninis ~$8.50. The Club Panini has avocado in it, yum! Comfortable seating and clean.
There truly is something for everyone here…as with most places that seek to offer everything rather than specialize, you will not encounter a culinary masterpiece. But for a quick salad or wrap, it'll do in a pinch. Salad bar ingredients appear clean and fresh. There is limited seating, so don't count on eating in.
Credit card fraud!
After checking my online credit card statement just now, I see Green Cafe charged me $20.03 for the one salad we purchased. Scroll down for reviews from other yelpers noting their overcharging. They are robbing people blind, insane! They tell you the price at the register, then type in a different amount. I'm always looking at receipts, but I admit this one got passed me. They do not usually give receipts if I recall correctly. Word of advice, do not go there and if you do demand a receipt or pay in cash.
