I have seen several Pax locations around NYC in my visits there but hadn't yet tried one out until a few days ago.
I was in kind of a rush to get breakfast and Pax exactly met my needs. It's the type of place where you order right at the counter and then pick up and pay for your food and take it to a table.
I ordered a basic breakfast — eggs, bacon, potatoes, and toast. All was fixed right there in front of me at the counter. The portions were a good size and everything was cooked just right. The potatoes, in particular, were quite good. Scrambled eggs and bacon are pretty much the same everywhere you go, but breakfast potatoes can be a differentiator, and I really liked theirs. They didn't taste like frozen potatoes, and were a good size and seasoned well. The toast was also good quality and came in a foil package that I think helped to keep it fresh tasting.
The price was extremely reasonable: I think I paid about $6.50 for a filling breakfast. That's a real good deal for NYC. Really recommend this place for a quick and basic meal.
I am officially TERRIFIED of the staff here. Came here on a Saturday afternoon – not crowded at all. Ordered a salad – it was delicious.
I asked the guy George for extra dressing and he wanted to MURDER ME. I said sorry and thank you about a dozen times and all he kept doing was MEAN-MUGGIN' ME HARD.
ALL I WANTED WAS EXTRA DRESSING – RELAX – I"LL PAY THE UPCHARGE.
Then came the lady ringing me up – NEXT! IS THAT BOTTLE OF WATER YOURS?!
I basically got screamed it….she was whispering in another language to mean muggin' George who was next to her and they were both staring at my girlfriend & I like we were from another planet. Have they never seen a gay couple before in NYC?
$10 Gaucho salad with extra avocado was delicious. Tasted even better because it was on my girlfriends company card.
But DAMN – the staff here scares me.
The worst breakfast I've had in NYC. we asked for a cappuccino, and they served as the biggest one without questions, the yogurt it wasn't yogurt. It's granola with a bit of yogurt (avoid it!). And the sandwich was awful, not quality ingredients (or perhaps rotten or something).
Food was good here and the cooks are pretty flexible (I asked for a modified version of a menu item). Would come back again.
Really annoyed at this place. I totally get that it's close to Herald Square but they need to step up their cleanliness game.
I appreciated the not so disgusting restroom upstairs and decided to buy something to keep me an honest woman. A 20oz bottle of seltzer (meant for 1 person) was $3.54, including tax. Yaaasss, I realize this is NYC and it's near Herald Sq. but that's a joke.
If you need a break from shopping, to sit and have a coffee or snack, they have upstairs seating and restrooms.
In the middle of 42nd Time Square. Good quick service and cheap prices for NY/Time Square standards. Food here was cheaper than the restaurants near our hotel in Hell's Kitchen. $8.14 total for bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese, potatoes, toast and small coffee. $5.95 for a stack of 3 buttermilk pancakes. This place is a kind of a hidden gem and can be missed if you're not looking for it.
Came here for breakfast and enjoyed my Bacon, Egg, and Cheese bagel. Very easy to order and efficient with taking the orders and paying.
Pax is a great lunch option to break up a busy day of holiday shopping. Located in a busy area where most of the food options are either junky or very pricey, Pax is a nice middle ground. Food is good, service is friendly, and prices are reasonable. Two sandwiches, water, and small coffee cost under $22. Seating is very limited on the 1st floor, but additional seating is available on the 2nd floor.
