LOVED the raspberry croissant, chocolate cookie, & Blue Bottle coffee (from SF!!)! ;9 The bacon gruyere scone was pretty decent too. Also, their s'mores & creme brûlée donuts look amazing!
Address is hard to find. It's on 52nd & 53rd St closer to Park in the Park Ave Plaza Bldg, which has a nice seating area next to the inside waterfall wall.
Free wifi (no outlets) in elegant & sleek (Illy) coffee lounge /choco bar w/ vast "library" of hi-end chocolates from all around world! 10% off coffee & chocos w/ chk-in & 1 chocolate w/ every drink.
An Australian coffee oasis amidst the midtown culinary desert. Get a flat white and avocado toast with pumpkin seeds and pepper.
A good addition & alternative to Dunkin' Donuts next door. Get the Be Cool Iced Tea, which has the refreshing taste of apples & peppermint. ;9
$7.50 Crispy Salt & Pepper Chicken w/ braised pork rice, string beans, pickled veggies, & tea egg (+ free black or green iced tea) was a cheap & delish Taiwanese meal.
Here for my daily iced tea- plain, no sugar. I download DD Perks app & get a free large one every other week!
Decent iced tea, blueberry Doughnut Plant donut, 1 free hr Wifi, & bathroom...I'm all set to work! It's been here for 3 yrs & thanks to 4SQ, I now know of this cool coffee shop! 👍🏻
Excited for the milk tea, Lychee green tea (w/ coconut jelly not boba/ bubble), fresh fruit & green juices & smoothies @ this new UES Chinese juice bar!
Love their fresh & good "Prince of Green" juice & relaxing environment! They have FREE wifi & also sell coffee, shakes & sandwiches.
Excellent mocha. Egg sandwich on croissant was quite good also. Quaint high quality non chain breakfast coffee place,
Cute little coffee shop with amazing coffees. The smoothies are awesome as well. Get the Tropical Thunder
The chocolate croissant is really flaky with just enough chocolate. The cannelé de bordeaux here is better than Dominique Ansel's.
$3usd for this small piece of Pao de Queijo (Brazilian cheese bread) but it's yummy! Chewy and fragrant. Worth a try!
These innocent-looking rolls are Brazilian cheese bread, a magical balance of fluffy, eggy and cheesy. Get one (or five) plain or amped up as a ham and queso sandwich. 続きを読む
Brazilian stuffed cheese-rolls (pao-de-queijo), empadas, guaraná, nice environment but don't expect a Brazilian-like padaria!
Best veggie cream cheese I've ever had. My go-to spread! If you want your bagel toasted, you have to ASK for it toasted. And know your order before you get to the counter. They are quick!
Best bagels. Hands down. They come fresh out of the oven many times a day. You can get hot bagels at 1pm as easily as at 1am. 24hrs a day 7 days a week.
Pretty authentic, not your regular coffee house. Don't come for wifi cause they don't have any. Interesting choices of drinks.
Great iced coffee! Don't come here to study though, very limited seating (bench and one chair) but great UES gem!
Coffee is (of course) excellent, but also has one of best almond croissants around!
York panini is very yummy! Great iced coffee and they always ask if you need more or less ice! :)
A great place to work (or have a meeting.) Free wifi, a downstairs filled with tables and an outdoor space, PLUS: doughnuts from Dough! I love it here.
Cafe by day and sake bar by night. In the afternoons they serve lunch, including an impressive pork katsu and seasonally appropriate Japanese vegetables.
Happy that a Taiwanese boba (bubble) tea + SHAVED ICE shop finally made it to UES! M's White Peach Green Tea & my Lychee Black Tea Slushee w/ lychee jelly tasted great (healthier than boba)!
But WTF... what shaved ice shop doesn't have fresh fruit - ONLY UNHEALTHY TOPPINGS like cereal & candy?!
Simply the best scrambled egg/cheese/tomato sandwich on UES. Don't know what they put in it - but its a no brainer
Tasty quinoa salad. The staff is super friendly and ask for Nelly she's the sweetest.
Everything is delicious! Tried most of the sandwiches and they all are delicious, especially the salmon. All the coffee is great as well. You must try the iced coffee!
Awesome matcha drinks made with lactose free milks (soy or almond). You can get your drinks with tapioca balls, red bean, or both! Staff is super friendly if you're looking for menu suggestions
amazing drinks (boyfriend, mango star/lychee jelly) with many fruit combos and great snack and lunch items(rice balls and yakisoba), grab some friends and get some food from this hole-in-the-wall!
Into flat whites at normal coffee shops? Try the flat green here, sip the first inch of it raw, the sweeten it with a few dollops of honey from the condiment station.
Hip little cafe focused on matcha. Recommend: matcha coconut macaroon with chocolate base, and the Fuji Apple Ginger Matcha cold drink. Refreshing and healthy...yum!
Matcha and Vanilla soft serve is delicious! almond milk matcha latte. They serve everything matcha, from matcha "doissants (donut and croissants) to matcha cupcakes. Cool interior.
I got the $10 eggplant richa richa and it was very good! Spicy, tasty, simple lunch. Quick service, free wifi and 15% off for NYU students makes it great for between classes
If you're looking for an addicting drink, try Es Alpukat (Avocado coffee milkshake). So good
The Indonesian comfort food is simple and authentic, reminds me of my mom's home cooked meals
Try the banana chocolate cheddar pastry called pisang molen. Fresh out of the oven or just warmed up, it's really delicious.
Pick up a canelé (or two!) near the register. $3 apiece, with a beautiful caramelized exterior, custardy soft all the way through. 続きを読む
It's sufganiyot season, and Breads makes some of the best versions of these jelly doughnuts in flavors like chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and dulce de leche. 続きを読む
i'm not even a fan of lemon desserts but the lemon-poppy kouign amann at this place was seriously the best thing EVER. such a nice balance of crunchy outside + soft, squishy insides + custard. perfect
Great deserts of course but the most surprising thing they offer are incredible breakfast sandwiches - ham and cheese croissant is my fav - and healthy to-go salads for lunch!
Like this pricier Belgian café chain's curried ckn salad tartine, pastries, waffles, fruit jams & salmon omelettes + vegan options. This 1's the worst: lazy & slow staff, tiny, filthy + 0 ambiance!
Super cozy coffeeshop by day and bar by night. Came here for Wifi but was surprised by ambience and cold brew. Definitely visit if you're in the neighborhood.
This spot has the bonus of cozy sofas, but sadly no wifi after 5pm. The good news is, once you close out your workday, the cocktails and s'mores here make for a great happy hour. 続きを読む
Love the matcha cream puff and scones here. Gets crowded so you have to fight people for room on the narrow slab of wood.
Great ambiance. Macha jasmine latte and macha pistachio cake were delightful. Just a touch of sweetness to let the matcha shine through.
Matcha Jasmine late and the banana bread are amazing!!! Didn't like the Matcha cream puffs
Banana bread, they also make their own English muffin sandwiches. Matcha green tea latte is good as well
Amazing bakery! Instead of the Crueller (which is great) try the Kouign-Amann, a beautiful French treat. The sausage egg sandwich is absolutely delish; add their in-house sauce to every bite.
Chicken rotisserie is very delicious. And try the honey lavender ice cream too.
Best croissants in the city. Almond croissant is something special. Coffee is made for you to chill for a while, gigantic cups!
LOVED raspberry croissant, chocolate cookie, & Blue Bottle coffee (from SF!) here! Bacon gruyere scone were pretty decent. So is Kouign Amann when they have 'em. Unique macaron flavors!
My absolute fave is the Kouign-amann, which tastes like a more sugary croissant that's crispy on the outside & soft inside. For macarons, Maison Ladurée still reigns supreme!
This locale is a bit of a bummer: mostly a tourist trap, crowded & not as comfy as UWS locale-which is the 1 that offers my fave Kouign Amann in NYC. For macarons, Maison Ladurée still reigns supreme!
Love their Jasmine Green tea w/ some simple syrup & the Underwest Vanilla Lavender donut!
Fantastic coffee place in a hidden alley opposite times square. Great for a quick quiet stop after shopping
Get here early or be prepared to wait. The best espresso and scones I've ever had. Get an iced coffee or cappuccino with shaved chocolate. If you use sweeteners, lay off for once.
1st request to have 0 sugar in my grapefruit green tea, since 25% is usually too sweet w/ lychee or passion fruit. Will not make same mistake again since grapefruit flavor tastes bitter w/o any sugar!
Try: Crack pie and cereal milk — along with a new pork bun served with an optional deep-fried soft-poached egg
Pain de Gruyere = to die for. Your mouth won't know what to do except smile :) Get a loaf to go if the bakery line isn't too long. If so, you can buy at the table at restaurant price for $0.50 more.
Best Baguette: baguette Monge-slightly swollen at middle & slender at tips, crackly outer crust yielding to a moist, almost damp crumb...tastes buttery w/o butter, rich & complex w. a subtle tang.
Delicious French pastries. Obviously the chocolate croissant is a must, but the Yuzu pastry is also good!
Chocolate almond croissants were some of the best I've ever had, not too heavy or oily. We had lunch - salad was good, salmon was amazing.
Yippee! Yippee! Joy! Joy! A 2nd bubble tea shop in UES!! Altho’ the 1st -Jupioca- is closer to me, Vivi has POPCORN CKN - a popular Taiwanese St snack!! Excited to see what else is on their menu! 😋
You can get European and American cheese. Coffee is from Counter Culture and bread from Bien Cuit. So they know what they are doing.
UES Flagship shop w/ focus on American cheeses + menu incl. grilled cheese sammies, soups, salads, charcuterie, wines, local beers & Noona ice cream. Will be back 4 Mac n’ cheese & everyday HH!
Always busy, even on off-times (we came in at 3:30pm on Saturday and there still wasn't an open table). But it was happy hour so cocktails were $8! I recommend the wild mushroom & avocado toast.
Excellent breakfast/brunch spot. Tasty and healthy. Plus as a bonus, they have Heinz Baked Beans and grilled Halloumi!
Can't go wrong with a large coffee and a muffin, but don't miss out on the great breakfast sandwiches and bagels w/cream cheese. They are fast and friendly.
What a local coffee shop should be. After a stroll through the stores on 36th, end your afternoon here with a coffee and the daily special, or even a banana – peanut butter – chai smoothie. 続きを読む
Welcoming this new neighborhood café that carry a few of my faves: cold brew, breakfast sandwiches, Dough doughnuts & Kouign-Amman’s! :)
Stop in to get a ham & cheese croissant & their amazingly refreshing Summer Tropical Garden Herbal Iced Tea -a blend of mango, pineapple, papaya & peach flavor! 😋
Decently priced & best in UES for the Chinese milk tea, Lychee green tea (w/ coconut jelly not boba/ bubble), fresh fruit & green juices & smoothies!
Love the iced green tea w/ simple syrup! When not all gone, decent banana bread, donuts, scones & even vegan cookies.
Great for late night munchie because they're open till 2am. Really fun flavors, the peanut butter chocolate chip melts in your mouth.
Great spot for a late night cookie fix. My favorite branch of the insomnia cookies chain.
The cookies are really good, but way overpriced. The ice cream sandwiches are a little more worth it.
The chocolate-chip cookie is 3rd after Levain and the City Bakery. It tastes familiar and simple and you'll make a fool of yourself trying to recreate it, but you'll want to try
Cookies are thinner (and yummier?) than the Levain treats down the block.
Great froyo on the 7th floor of Bloomingdales. A small size ($4.50 w/o toppings) is good enough for two to share. If you can't decide on a flavor, you can get two in one cup!
Great place with good free wifi, tasty not too thick clam chowder, taste coffee, kids play room area, books, love seat, under $5 purchase - CASH ONLY
Great fresh baked goods. Loved the blueberry muffin and strawberry scone. Lots of fresh fruit.
Breakfast sandwiches are to die for! Definitely get the sundried tomato spread on it
Nice outdoor seating on patio to the right of shop, great coffee and pastries. Refrigerated sandwiches aren't the best but a decent snack if you're in a hurry. Overall, awesome spot for coffee in OGT
Boba tea shop in UES w/ the BEST MUST-TRY Taiwanese (Garlic dark-meat) POPCORN CHICKEN, (summer only) fresh Watermelon “Sugar High” Slushy, Grapefruit or Strawberry @ 30% sweet (w/o caloric boba)!
