Masala tea was very badly made. Two cups of tea was made with one tea bag and a splash of milk was added. No spice flavor. Worst masala tea.

What a lovely spot for breakfast. The food was delicious and affordable, and the waterfall provides an oasis in the city. There was even a heater near us. We were so happy we ate breakfast here.

The place and the food are very good. I've tried the chicken kebab with rice, and it was fresh and warm.

Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant was excellent! It was large enough that we could have split it. Searing was in an outdoor garden with waterfall and beautiful plants.

Come here for the view, not the food.

Phone number doesn't work. I'm trying to call because I was double charged.

Excellent western omelet with hash brown. Wonderful dining in a park setting with trees and flowers, waterfall and stream. Can't overstate how pleasant it was.

This outdoor cafe has a Platter with 2 small pancakes, 2 strips of bacon, 2 eggs, and a hash brown. It's an excellent price for the taste of the food, the speed of the preparation, and the pleasant yet casual ambience. Plus it supports the most beautiful park in Midtown Manhattan (even more beautiful than Bryant Park in my opinion.) I definitely plan on returning here whenever I'm in the area.

The food, the service and the ambiance all hit the Tops ratings. I had breakfast that hit the spot! Carol, herself, aims to please. The private Greenacre Park with its cascading waterfall, offers surroundings with greenery and singing birds in the trees! What more could you ask for?

Good choice of breakfast and brunch dishes. Amazing view on the waterfall. The service is good, but overwhelming for the cook at times.

Iced coffee is very good, sandwiches are okay but nothing special.

Horrible attitude from the waitress. If you don't like something, tough luck, she double-charged us and thought we wouldn't notice. It's near a waterfall, but you can get anything else and eat near the waterfall with better customer service. I'm also pretty sure she spit in our food because I sent something back. Do yourself a favor and just go somewhere else.

Perfect spot for morning coffee…

Incredible! Tucked away, with a beautiful waterfall and quaint seating, Carol's is a hidden gem! The food is so reasonable and absolutely delicious. Went for Essa-Bagel and the line was too long. Walked a half a block and got better food for cheaper! Absolutely will be coming here again.
