  1. Don't know what the complaints from others are about but I thought the place is pretty decent, food wise. The price is definitely cheap, considering it is on the UES where everything is super expensive. I had the corned beef hash with sunny side up eggs. It came with a side of toast and fries. For $12, I think it is a steal. Can't finish half my plate. Mum-in-law had their BLT and for $7, the portion is a steal. We are never fans of over-sized servings, anyways. My mum and aunt split an order of their Turkey Sandwich, now that I consider overpriced. At $17, I have no idea what drives up the price of the sammich, but hey, it is still decent for UES. Iced coffee is weak on the caffeine note. Service was prompt. Our waitress was polite. Can't say I will return for the restaurant alone but if I am in the area, I won't mind eating there again.

  2. I love this place. I've only taken out here but they are quick, they remember my order and they are super nice guys- Steve especially.  While they are a little pricey, you can't find anything else cheaper in this area. I'm a big fan of this place.  Make sure you have cash though, they are cash only!

  3. SO expensive for a cash only place! It's the worst when you can physically see how much that little sandwich was worth at this tiny shop. The place is very cramped, I don't get how they stay in business.. oh wait, probably b/c their average price for a meal is 15 bucks, be it a sandwich or an entree.

    The waiter, the bald dude, might want to think about another career… he forgot multiple orders, brought out the wrong food to the wrong table, gave the wrong checks to people… etc etc. If you are a wealthy enough person who lives on the upper east side and can afford a $18 eggs and ham, you might like this place.

  4. Just order the simple stuff, you can get a quick, decent bite with service from nice people and they have real brewed iced tea.  It is in an expensive area, one of the most expensive in the world so the prices were 'cheap' compared to the pricier restaurants nearby.

  5. Nectar Coffee Shop is just a local diner, with a typical diner menu and typical diner service.

    We drop by, once in a blue moon, when we do not want to cook. But there are so many other breakfast, brunch options in the neighborhood, so Nectar Coffee Shop flies under our radar.

    The only plus, a major plus, would be it's corner location on Madison Avenue and 79 street, just a block from Central Park and Museum Mile. And they have outdoor seating.

    Expect your jelly, butter, and honey to come in individual packages and sachets.

    They only take cash.

  6. Literally stumbled upon this place after a Saturday evening at the Met. We were there for sandwiches — a turkey burger and a turkey club — and both were excellent. The turkey was real roast turkey, not sliced deli meat. The fries were delicious and not too greasy.

    Our server and the rest of the staff were super nice — we had a question about the bill, and he very non-defensively went through and explained it, no big deal.

    It's not cheap — $6.50 for a side of fries; $2.75 per soda, and no refills — a refill is an additional charge. But the food is fresh and delicious. And on a separate note – the place is super clean, including the rest room. I'm definitely going back.
