4 stars! This place is hidden from plain sight as it's squeezed between Starbucks and a hotel next to it. The cafe serves different types of pastries, baked goodies and coffee at a decent price (probably along the same price as Starbucks, but not outrageously expensive as other tourist traps).
I immediately loved this place when I walked in because the cafe had a quaint, local feel to it and it wasn't as noisy as I expected, given its location right in the heart of Manhattan close to Central Park. You could expect to order and find a table to sit and sip your coffee/enjoy your food without the hustle and bustle of the normal busy NYC life. The cashier was friendly and was patient when taking our orders, even if we were not quite decisive as to what we wanted to order. We ended up getting 2 types of empanadas ($2.50 ea) and a zucchini muffin ($2.75) and they were quite tasty. Together with our drinks, we paid less than $20 including tips.
Overall, this is a good place to grab a quick lunch bite before heading off somewhere or even a quick snack after walking through Central Park! I would totally skip other coffee chains and come here in a heartbeat if I was looking for something light and quick to fill my stomach.
Got so disappointed after discovering that none of the coffee shops were opened by the time I got to Turnstyle, so instead I dropped by Tisserie next to the hotel.
It was spacious, fast and with free wifi; however lack of the must-have hipster feeling that I was always looking for. They have a giant selection of pastries.
Not bad.
In walking crosstown one day, I made a mental note to stop here at some point. Tonight I did. It is a small space, nicely decorated and organized. It is connected to Park Central Hotel opn 7th Avenue between 55-56th Sts. Wif Fi is free. There is a large selection of coffee as well as baked goods and there are at least six offerings of quiche-sizable slices which can be heated for you. I was waiting for an appointment so I had a chocolate croissant and a hot chocolate but the choices were immense. If you are a frequent visitor, they also provide you with a card that after 9 cups of coffee, the 10th cup is on the house. II would recommend and return.
Great office lunch/snack spot!
One of the best places in the neighborhood to stop for a sweet snack. The nutella brioche is to die for. As for the lunch options, the salad with roasted veggies and goat cheese is a great go-to.
Staff is always very friendly and accomodating.
Busy New York pastry shop with a large assortment of items. Staff are only as friendly as any other New Yorker but the pastries make up for it with their warmth and flakiness. Average latte, average customer service, above above baked good. It's next door to a hotel so it gets packed, but the line moved quickly.
I really really wanted to enjoy Tisserie 55 b/c of all of the positive reviews. It just had to be that day.
We stopped at Tisserie recently b/c it was freaking cold (30 degrees) and we wanted to warm up. I wanted a pastry and my friends wanted coffee. We Yelped around and we found Tisserie.
First thing first, the milieu. It's a real nice coffee place. It's bright unlike your typical SB. They have nicely finished vertical wood panels that really give T a nice chique look. As you walk in the baristas brew the coffee and then you are treated to all of the pastries in the shop. So very nice.
The pastries themselves were delicious, and you can tell that they weren't mass produce a la SB. it was coming from their local patisserie/boulangerie. My friend's pain au chocolat was layered beautifully. One of the best I have seen here in the US. Myself some kind of double chocolate croissant and again it was really good. It definitely helped that they toasted it just enough to make it moist and crispy. So really, their pastries were top notch.
It's their coffee. Again, it had to be that day but all of our drinks came flat. I had their ice macchiato and the color was very dull as if the ratio between water and milk was completely off. It wasn't sweet at all and tasted like bad coffee. Someone had a cafe au lait that really was mostly lait than coffee. there were 5 of us and each of our drinks were misses!
The staff however was very gracious, they gatered to our needs and when I complained about my iced coffee, they were quick to want to make a new one for me. SO big props for that. In the end, I didn't get a new drink but it was a nice gesture.
Regardless, I'll probably skip next time I am in NYC.
Spinach quiche was the best I've ever had, and the coffee was good too.
But the woman at the register was SO RUDE. I was shocked. As expected, it was very busy on a weekday morning. I placed my order with a nice guy behind the counter and moved on to pay. There isn't an actual register so having been my first time there, i was unsure of where to go. The woman next to him holding an iPad was doing something else, so I started walking a little further to an area that was blocked from my vision. I thought maybe I was supposed to pay there. When I realized I had to go back to the iPad lady, she gave me a look that could only mean "what the hell are you doing?!" She threw both hands in the air too. I said you were doing something else, I didn't know where to pay. She barked back at me asking what I ordered. She ruined a perfectly pleasant morning.
The food and coffee are good. But probably not worth more than a ten minute walk and damper on your morning.
The prefect place to pop in for an iced coffee or tea before heading to Central Park!
