“Nothing much to say but the Milk Cream Bread is the BEST pastry i've ever tried and it was my first time going there too like... The sandwiches are also really good, it isn't plain or bitter at all. Probably because I asked them to heat it up a lil but whatever. I'm definitely going back with my friend“
“Loved it! I’ve been a lot over the years, and last night nailed it across-the-board.m! The ‘steak for four’ was as good as prime beef gets. Additionally, cocktails from the bar were surprisingly good, and all of our appetizers, salad course, and desserts exceeded our expectations. Steakhouse dining does not get better than this.“
“I think this place is great. Especially for a date night too. The Temaki they serve is great for a 2 bite situation, making it really easy to share between 2… if that’s your thing.To be honest, coming here and getting the classic & signature is just as $ as getting delivery sushi, maybe a bit more expensive but it’s worth it. High quality ingredients & thought out flavors.Personal favorite temaki is the XO scallop.The whole entire restaurant is gluten free by the way, so that might win a lot of people over.The interior & vibe is definitely for a certain demographic and will become aged out within maybe a year or two. The interior is on the same note of that Tend instagram dentist place, and that’s not a compliment. The music they play reminds me of what they would play at like a retail store.Dietary restrictions: The entire restaurant is gluten free & can help gluten intolerance with their meal.“
“Also packed with a line outside the door for late lunch - but the interior is spacious with also outdoor seating! We got the Hell Boy and Mutz, which was a lot flavorful than a typical white pie with a great oomph from the garlic. We've tried the Hell Boy slice at MSG but getting it fresh and hot here is best - the sesame dough crunch is unreal!“
“The servers at Casa Ora are super friendly, focus on their customers and are very attentive. My server Freimar, took time to answer any questions that I had, pertaining to some of the items on the menu .She had such a wonderful personality and really made my dining there, all the more enjoyable. The food I ordered was well seasoned, I should know that, as I am a cooking school grad, and worked at Port Authority of NY and NJ ,four different facilities, in their kitchen and dining room/cafeterias for 20 years and six months. I am also a Veteran of the US ARMY,served for 17.5 years. I totally enjoyed the Pastelito,, The Brisket was most excellent, had a very nice flavor,.There was a mild garlic sauce that I put on it,made it taste even better. I just loved the sweet plantains, which came with sour cream I had a glass of Mongarda Brut Prosecco,, which was very good. I ordered a cup of Cappuccino, which was very good. I really enjoyed this meal and most definitely will return. I plan to bring a very special friend of my family, who is from Peru,the next time that I dine at that restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant, I give them 5 stars and as far as Food Presentation, they get a 10 from me.......“
“Lovely spot, came for brunch on my birthday. Same great food and great service as always, but I was surprised to find the Yemenite Pancake renamed (which is the best thing on the menu).I always thought they were cool for putting aside differences and shouting out their southern neighbors… I mean, Yemenis food is delicious.“
“I happened to be in Greenpoint on a weekday morning so I decided to add Radio Bakery to my list of places to stop by. There was no line, so I was in and out. There are a few counter seats by the window and some tables on the sidewalk outside for those who want to eat at the bakery. I was hoping to get their chocolate PB croissant, but they didn't have them that morning, so I ended up getting the double baked pistachio croissant and the earl grey morning bun. The pistachio croissant was very good - super flaky and crispy on the outside and not too sweet. I liked the whole pieces of pistachio on top. The early grey morning bun was also solid, and I really liked how strong the early grey flavor was. Overall this bakery is great, but I knocked off a star because this place is pricey, even for NYC ($8 for a croissant!). I also don't think it's worth waiting in line for on the weekends, so I'm glad I got to go during the weekday.“
“I was so tired so I grabbed the first thing I saw that looked familiar instead of reading the menu or checking out comments. It was beyond burger, which was delicious. After I ordered I saw crab cakes that looked yum, I wish I tried those too. They also had a bunch of desserts that looked good, but I can't eat that much at once. So if I'm ever back in New York I'm definitely coming there again. Service is really good, nice people working there, order ready fast! I definitely recommend this place.“
“I absolutely love the coffee, however, everytime I come to this establishment, I am charged differently for the same drink. I am not to certain as to why. I expressed this with some of the staff here at Hamlet, who then empathized with me, but I guess did not relay the message. I am starting to believe that specific staff members are making up prices. I am not too happy about this. I truly enjoy the coffee, however the fluctuations of the pricing will be their downfall if it persists.“
“I visited Hibiscus Cafe less than an hour before closing on a Sunday evening. The café was really busy, and everyone (including myself) was ordering complicated drinks. A few folks ordered things that required ingredients that were out, and something like that could throw anyone off their game at the end of their shift. However, the woman working was handling everything so smoothly and efficiently, and she was just plain awesome. My matcha latte was also delicious! I can’t wait to go back!“
“My wife's German grandma loves this place, and often treats us to the family style special. The food is good (certainly the best BBQ you can get in NYC) and the service is always excellent. It does tend to get busy and loud, sometimes louder than is comfortable, but it's always a good time. We went once for lunch, and since it wasn't as busy, that was the best experience we had there. Prices are pretty good, especially for Manhattan. Always have a great time here and love to get good BBQ even this far north!Kid-friendliness: A bit loud for kids, but they put out a coloring page with crayons. There are a few racy pictures on the wall, but they're high up in the corner and my 4 year old didn't notice. She's too focused on the excellent mac and cheese“

“We had ordered a baby shower cake. The base was a Jaffa cake with butter cream frosting. The cake was fantastic in the way it looked and the taste. The service was excellent. Ms. Marie is a talented artist. Would highly recommend this place!“
“A delicious cookie spot! I finally caved and tried one. It is tasty, crunchy and soft and chocolatey as a good cookie should be. Honestly, for the city and the size of it, the price is okay. I definitely enjoyed it and understand why it is so cherished. I enjoyed mine in the park.“
“One of my favorite study spots on the Upper East Side!!! They offer a delicious selection of Puerto-Rican inspired coffee and have two rooms, one where you can buy the coffee, and one quiet one with long tables where you can work peacefully! The atmosphere is lovely and the service is great. I definitely recommend!!“
“My favorite brunch in Brooklyn maybe even nyc !! Everything is absolutely delicious, fresh, good portions and you can tell they use quality products while maintaining good prices! Their coffee and drinks are also incredible. They were really cute before and just went through a lovely renovation that matches the incredibly quality of the food! Amazing friendly staff, I go so much they've started to recognize us, love you Betty!“
“Started with oysters , all 3 were delicious, cherry and chili were my favorite of the 3 . Highly recommend the caviar slides. Absolutely deliciousBacon was good. Very rich and best shared with 3+ people as it's very rich . Was delish and unique and very different. Got the sirloin steak as recommended by server and had the truffle butter which was so flavorful.Finished with the sticky toffee pudding which everyone should have the experience of tasting as it's perfection! Highly recommend. Server was amazing. Hostesses were very nice. I was alone and sometimes restaurants can be weird if you're by yourself and they were fantastic and made me feel super comfortable. Beginning to end was a great experience and I am glad I listened to my friends who recommend I come here!“
“After our fantastic team-building event, we headed to dinner at The Smith on 2nd Ave.Street. The ambiance was welcoming, the service was excellent, and my meal was delightful. Everyone at the table also seemed to thoroughly enjoy their dishes. Overall, it was a very pleasant dining experience at a lovely restaurant in Midtown.“
“I’ve been here many times, the food is delicious and everything on the menu can be prepared gluten free which is amazing for an Italian restaurant. The waiters are nice and make you feel at home!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free and dairy free“
“A MUST TRY! I’ve been coming here for the past couple months and I can’t get enough! Safe to say, the BEST BBQ I’ve ever had! My favorite is a full rack and ask to get of them deep fried. Super friendly staff give this place a shot you won’t be disappointed.“
“Definitely lived up to the social media hype and no doubt best tavern burger in Queens. One can choose any burger on their extensive burger menu with a side of fries or onion rings for less than 20 bucks, it’s a deal I’m willing to sign up for every day.We went on a Thursday late afternoon and place was energetic and lively, just what you expect from a well-known busy tavern. I can only imagine what it’s like on weekends when they have live band.Donovan’s is the real deal.“
“Great addition to the UES. Excellent food, try the prosuitto, fig and melon appetizer if they have it. The carpaccio was so good and the deserts! The wait staff was very attentive and refilled our water glasses often. The owner was lovely and sweet. I will be back with my family soon.“
“We live in nearby Dobbs Ferry, we have came by a few times for special occasions (birthdays, valentines, etc) and have not been disappointed. I wasn’t sure if Gluten Free, Non-Dairy and Kosher would taste different, for their cakes you hardly notice any difference than one that is not those things. It’s not an inexpensive place as evident by their locations but you get an excellent product from them which makes them worth going to.“
“Went at 945a a little after they opened and the line was moving pretty quicklySubbed chorizo with avocado in this massive burrito with scrambled eggs, potatoes, tomatillo salsa verde. Ok each bite had a burst of flavors. It’s reasonably priced and I would absolutely get it again!I also tried their chocolate chip cookie, chocolate banana bread loaf, ube sesame mochi, cheddar chive biscuit“
“Happy hour did not disappoint! My friend and I ordered a few happy hour items to share, and the dip trio is a definite must-try. The hummus was incredibly smooth and perfectly seasoned. The romanesco was a recommendation from our server, and it was my personal favorite. Kinda reminiscent of buffalo sauce because of the tang and spice, goes very well with the pita. The feta-lebneh was interesting, very pungent and strong in flavor but I still enjoyed it. The chicken sliders were seasoned super well, but a little messy to eat since the pita slice buns were thin. The kale salad was a good way to balance out our spread, and the pinenuts and cheese added good texture and flavor. Great place to catch up with a friend or have a date night!“
“Divine.$11 for a croissant and specialty latte.The croissant didn’t have a mass produced feel to it. Every croissant looked a little different in the display case. Chewy and moist inside, crispy, flaky and buttery outside.The pistachio latte was insane in both taste and presentation. They use a pistachio cream like Nutella. They only sell it as a large so I couldn’t finish it but might be great to share. Soooo delicious.Service was stellar too. I had a few questions and the person answering was very nice about it (very unlike other cafes). Pleasant experience from start to finish.“
“We were craving for pastries from Chocnyc which was recommended by Yelp Top 100 Croissants. It’s kind of far from where we live but no one can stop us from eating.We were satisfied with their line up. We got their Plain Croissant, Caramelized Croissant, Pecan Sticky Bun and Savory Biscuit as first try. The portion was great with reasonable price.Our favorite was the Pecan Sticky Bunwhich was satisfying with soft and rich texture. Their croissant wasn’t our type but it’s still worth a visit.“
“Today I had a life changing cookie. I had the strawberry milk cookie, then immediately texted my husband and called my sister to talk about this amazing cookie. Strawberry is one of my favorite flavors, so maybe I’m biased, but it was the best cookie I’ve had in a really long time. It was soft with crunchy bits on top, and the strawberry flavor popped. I felt like a cartoon character with heart eyes and sparkles coming out of my head with just one bite.The s’mores cookie was also amazing. Both cookies were delicious and also unique. I can’t wait to try the other flavors.“

“My two nieces and I popped in this morning on our way to the Natural History Museum. I’ll admit I was hesitant but thankfully I listened to my nieces! I had the avocado and eggs in a crepe, which was the best gluten-free sandwich I have ever had. Did not miss the bread at all. My 14 year old chose the Nutella crepe with banana and the 9 ounce Açaí bowl. Oldest selected one of the big bowls … it was a work of art. Highly recommend and we will be back on our next trip. All the best on your growth plans!“
“Personally, this spot is a 10/10 for several reasons. The personable owner is from Italy and knows how to provide great service and authentic cuisine. The atmosphere is perfect for me: lowkey, dim but not too dark, nothing crazy or lavish just a homey, great dining experience. The butternut squash was to die for. Definitely going back!“
“It was nice meeting you Anthony, thanks for chatting with us about coffee. I loved my mocha and Tony enjoyed the Ecuador pea berry, very tasty. You have a really nice coffee shop and coffee offerings. Hope to keep in touch and visit again.“
“Was a random order from this bakery. Let me tell you how proficient and easy this experience was . They suggested a Carrot Walnut cake . I needed a fast cake for my Hubhub’s birthday.The cake (Gluten Free) was out of this worldDeliscious. Beyond ! He loved it!You can’t go wrong !“
“Brick-walled institution in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn serving up spectacular steak and seafood. Incredible old world ambience and can’t say enough of their impeccable service. Overall just an incredible spot to dine in.St. Anselm is most famously known for their signature Angus Butcher’s Steak so if it’s your first visit, this is the absolute must on the menu.“
“I went to Quality Meats last week and it was pretty good. The steak and tuna tartare were really tasty, especially the tartare because it had the right amount of spice. The steaks were cooked just how we asked, which was great. The place was busy and had a nice vibe, though it was a bit loud for me. Our waiter helped us pick a nice wine, which was a nice touch.“
“Fantastic restaurant with such romantic flair, super cozy and the food is served in large portions for one person! We had the Garlic bread with goat cheese which was splendid, the butternut squash soup is a must try and the rigatoni/bolognese were delightful. Our waitress Madeline was stupendous and super patient to our party with 4 kids. Very grateful for her continuous attentiveness. the only thing I would say or take the subway or an Uber as parking is so scarce. We’re here on a Wednesday night!“
“This place is as good as it gets when it comes to whole food plant-based fare! It has an attractive decor, a friendly staff who you order from at the counter, and really good food. I’ve tried the UWS and UES locations and both are consistently very good. Unlike most vegan restaurants, that offer a wide variety of highly processed fake meat, Le Botaniste is all about whole foods – vegetables, grains, beans, with various dishes to suit of a variety of tastes. And everything is freshly made and ready to go, so there’s no waiting.“
“I have been to Flex Mussels many times; however, disappointed in the service. I believe our waitress came to the table 2x (1x to take our order and the next to grab the check). Only after the check was delivered, the waitress walked by 3 times, waiting for a tip on $300 without really doing much. She also seemed very upset to be working. I love Flex and will be back, but I hope the staff remembers service, ambiance and care of your customers are just as important as the food.“
“I recently moved to a new neighborhood and decided to explore the local coffee shops for my morning breakfast routine. Right next to my building, I discovered Claire’s Kitchen Cafe. The place has a charming ambiance, albeit small with limited seating - one table and two sets on the window bar inside, and three tables outside.I opted for Claire’s BEC for breakfast, and it was a delightful choice - delicious and satisfying. However, my experience with the cappuccino was not as impressive. The overcooked milk resulted in a cappuccino that lacked the creamy texture and flavor profile that I was expecting.Despite the mixed coffee experience, the service at Claire’s Kitchen Cafe was friendly and pleasant. While I may not return specifically for the coffee, I would consider revisiting for the food.“
“My wife is gluten-free, Lilli and Loo have a huge gluten-free menu! I usually try what she gets just to compare to non gluten-free options. Everything was great. The fried dunplins, the sushi, the fried general tso chicken. The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable about gluten-free restrictions. They even have gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options“
“The place is beautiful, cozy, loved the music and the environment!Food wasn’t good tho, I ordered the beef in wine (Boeuf bourguignon) was really salty and the carrots raw.The escargots and the onion soup were amazing!All of the servers were really kind!“
“Cute cafe located in the Inwood area. I usually get a dirty chai with oat milk and it always hits! If you get there early enough you might get lucky and be able to get a pastry. I'm a little obsessed with the everything bagel seasoning cream cheese filled croissant (sounds like a mouthful). It's just perfect; salty, rich and filling little snack you can take on the go with your coffee. My fave on the weekend. Staff is also pretty friendly and patient because if you're anything like me you will easily get distracted by all the goodies near the counter.“
“Wow! I'm so happy I found this place. It is such a cute and comfortable atmosphere. The guy that helped me was very nice. Their selection is wonderful (I went in around 6 or 7 on a Sunday and they had so much goodies left). I got a few items to take to hang out with friends and there wasn't a crumb left after we tried everything. Not a single disappointing thing in the box. The brown butter and Chai cookies really blew my mind. Prices are great considering the excellent quality of everything and the packaging they put they put the items in. Can't wait to go back!“
“The cozy atmosphere of this place is unmatched! Seating is limited so come early or make a reservation because the food here is fantastic. I loved my burger — the thick patty, sourced from Ottomanelli’s (for local UESers), had quality you could taste. It’s served on an English muffin which is unique and totally works! This was one of the few burgers where I didn’t feel absolutely stuffed/heavy after eating it which was refreshing. Highly recommend ordering it with the white cheddar cheese! The low lights, soft jazz, wooden furnishings, delicious food, and welcoming service make this place an easy 5 star ??“
“I’ve *always* and will forever love this place and the staff there. Many years ago, my friend Jon and I went for lunch and not only was the food so delicious and comforting, we were given a free drink and lovely vibes. Today, I went back and he remembered me and gave me a hug and I bought a couple of things with elemental gold in it as well as sea moss and it just felt so right to go in and revisit the place. There are some other occasions like events that I went to there and it’s always fun and the food ?? I was offered a treat on the house but I was quite full, but it was really nice to be treated like I was a welcome guest and so for this, always 5 stars!“
“After reading the review, I immediately asked for a two-chip chocolate chip cookie instead of the famous original chocolate chip walnut cookie, and it was really delicious! If you don't like sweets, it may seem too sweet, but if you eat it freshly served, it's crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, so it's delicious, and it goes great with a bitter drink like Americano or green tea... When I run out of sugar while shopping for nearby vintage, I eat about a quarter of it and then eat it again when I feel thirsty. You can walk around for a long time. It's so sweet that you definitely can't eat it all at once! Still, it’s a cookie like a scone or brownie, so it’s a bit filling and delicious!The staff seemed to differ depending on who was caught. The other two staff were very friendly, but only one had an expressionless expression. Still, the atmosphere inside was nice so it was nice to sit and relax, and seeing as a lot of people were ordering coffee, the drinks seemed to be good as well.“
“The pastries have been and always are phenomenal. Tasty, fresh, and of the highest quality to meet everyone's taste preferences. I ordered an assortment of pastries for a work meeting, and the team of nearly 20 people absolutely loved it and even took some for colleagues as well. I will definitely be ordering again in the future!! In the past, I have also ordered a box of muffins just for myself to enjoy ?Dietary restrictions: Even provided vegan options that taste just like any other muffin. Best place to order.“
“Came here for a quick lunch. It was super busy but line moved fast! Everything here looked so delicious and fresh! I ordered a ham and cheese baguette and asked them to heat it up for me! Washed it down with an iced coffee! It was delicious! Service was great also! Paris baguette never disappoints!“
“I wish they would ship items!!! This is the best dairy and gluten-free bakery I have found!!! I have a serve dairy allergy. Their food isn't dry at all very moist. The coconut cake and brownie cookies are the best!!!!Vegetarian options: Dairy and gluten freeDietary restrictions: I have a serve dairy allergy, and it was nice to get really good baked goods!!!“
“We were there waiting for the taxi to take our suitcases. They kindly kept them for us and didn't give us any problems. We had something while we were passing and it was incredibly good, 10 service and delicious food, totally recommended.The order was slightly delayed and they gave us freshly squeezed orange juice, incredible!“
“A lovely, sunny and delicious respite from the cares of the world... How wonderful to find a place that serves top notch vegan fare--both sweet and some savory offerings too. Loved the rainbow cookies, Jamaican Patty and the black cake. The layer cakes are spectacular as well. Coffee, tea, chai, cappuccino--just some of the hot drink offerings to go with your treats. The owners are most congenial and welcoming, serving you with utmost care and attention. The bakery is light and airy with several tables to dine at. Located across the street from the Glen Oaks library on Union Turnpike, there is ample street parking as well as the large parking lot located behind the bakery. There is convenient access to public transportation too: the Q36 and Q46 stop steps away. My family and I truly enjoyed our time at Rose Valley bakery and cannot wait to do so again!“
“THE STRAWBERRY TIRAMISU IS SOOOOO FREAKING ADDICTIVE !!!!!!! I HAD NEVER HAD A STRAWBERRY TIRAMISU BEFORE.
