“Beautiful space and friendly staff. We were welcomed by very polite and courteous gentleman and even though we didn’t have a reservation (we didn’t know we needed one) they were able to accommodate us with no hesitation. Giovanni offered us nice drinks and tea along with a delicious shisha. She was very helpful when we had questions about flavors and was very attentive during the time we were there. Will definitely come back. Only thing to note is that if you enjoy a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere, try to go on the earlier part of the afternoon/night as it gets louder and feels more like a nightclub later in the evening.Vegetarian options: Dry nuts and French fries“
“Their turmeric bun is insanely good. Was lucky enough to catch it right as it was fresh out of the oven and waiting to be glazed. Almost doubled back for another one it was so good (self restraint won).Delicate, flaky, caramelized crust. Fluffy, light, moist pull-apart center. I usually find glazed pastries too sweet, but this one was perfect - just sweet enough to hit the spot but not too sweet that it feels heavy.The balance of flavors is just right. Just a hint of turmeric that isn't at all overpowering.“
“Mussette in Harlem is a wine bar that truly understands the art of hospitality. From the moment I stepped in, the customer service was stellar—attentive without being overbearing. The Women’s History wine flight they offer is not just unique but also a testament to their commitment to inclusivity and celebration of diversity in the wine world.And let's talk about their charcuterie boards—absolutely sublime! The selection of cheeses, dried fruit and nuts paired perfectly with the wines we chose.But what truly sets Mussette apart is the warmth and genuine passion of the staff. They made our evening unforgettable, offering insights and recommendations that enhanced our experience. If you're in Harlem and looking for a cozy spot with exceptional wine and hospitality, Mussette is the place to be.“

We are so lucky to live close to such an incredible pastry shop and Anne herself is the absolute best!“

“We stumbled upon this coffee shop and in the Bronx and had to have our second hit of coffee. This cute shop imports coffee directly from Puerto Rico ?? so we knew it was gonna be bomb! The best part was that the coffee comes in a to go pouch and a straw. We order the horchata ice coffee and they also have a whiskey infused option as well that was strong and less sweet in case you don’t like it too sweet. Aesthetically the place was so cute. Check out the vibes in the photos and videos.“
“Nestled in the heart of Astoria, Balancero is not your ordinary coffee spot – it’s a delightful coffee shop gem.My go-to order is an almond latte, which is perfect every time, with a creamy texture and a delightful nutty flavor. The service at Balancero is nothing short of exceptional. The orders are prompt, without compromising on quality.It has a charming ambiance and fosters a great sense of community. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, you’re welcomed with a friendly smile!If you’re in search of a spot to indulge in your favorite coffee fix or simply craving a warm beverage to brighten your day, Balancero won’t disappoint.

“I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place. One of the best coffee concepts I've come across in a while. The coffee is incredible, and their setup is top-notch. It's now my go-to coffee place. Their Fredo Coffee tastes just like it does back in Greece.“
“AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! The food was absolutely amazing. The flavors, customer service, presentation and overall feel of this place left such a great impact on my friends and I. I literally tried it on Wednesday, and came back with a friend the very next day. My order: Afro Burrito with Chicken; Peanut Stew served over jasmine rice and hot sauce“
“This is some of the best food of any kind l've had in my 45 years living in NYC. Honestly, it's amazing, chef Jose is delightful and his dishes are so nuanced and delicious. Octopus tostados are heavenly, I have no idea what all it consist of but they are delicious. There are three, I can't eat more than two but the last is always enjoyed by someone else at the table. Burrito are a staple for my lunch/dinner... so fresh and comforting. AND I'm not really a fan of most Mexican food but this is on a whole other level. I just finished a salad of shrimp, avocado, mango, cherry tomato, with paper thin fennel shredded on top. The shrimp are cooked to perfection, not rubbery at all but ever so slightly firm and succulent. I live in Manhattan and there isn't anything near me as delicious and fresh.It’s really a special place.“
“I have been going to G's for over 20 years. The food is excellent. I love the breakfast burrito with chorizo, and their tortas, and their flautas. Everything thing is outstanding. They make great coffee The service is awesome. Very nice.“
“This is a cute dog cafe if you want to bring your dog and have some coffee. Two different entrances to buy coffee and to enter with your dog. People there seem friendly and they have paper towels and spray if your dog pees.However, the place is fairly small. I would say having about 10 small dogs would be enough for them to run around? I was there when 2 big poodles, 1 corgi, and 2 other small dogs and my cavapoo who is about 12lbs. I wish it was a bigger space for them to run around ?Nonetheless, it's a cute space for a quick stop to have your dog have some playtime.“
“I live in Eugene, OR. We have several small coffee roasters but they cost a "nominal egg" as folks in NYC might say and, they never feature Robusta blends. I am so happy to have found Cerini online. I went with a couple kilos of packaged beans and a some of the Cerini beans. The product is PERFECT as was their customer service and very reasonable pricing. My search for a coffee vendor ended, I only need Cerini. STRONGLY SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENT IN PACKAGING: Put a Cerini label with the Bronx address on the bags of Cerini coffee, especially for mail-order customers. It would greatly enhance the "gift" aspect, I feel it is incredibly important for Cerini to do that as it costs so little and means so much.“
“I went to the Crumbly Cafe & Bakery on Second Avenue this week for the first time. I ordered the feta and spinach bistro and it was one of the best baked goods I've had in a very long time. I was so impressed that I just placed an on-line order for 8 different items to try and can't wait to pick them up tomorrow. In addition, the wonderfully talented baker, Ms. Miriam and her lovely daughter, Mia, could not have been nicer and more welcoming. It will definitely be a favorite and am so glad of the new discovery!“
“Kung fu tea on north Ave is unmatched. I’ve been going for months now and during the summer they were getting new employees and it was not good. They finally have a good team and they’re killing it. Specifically one employee named Abraham is the best! He always is such a pleasure and knows how to make the best drinks! Shoutout him Abraham for bringing the best energy! Drinks have been killa ever since.“
“Fabulous! You could spend so much money in here and never feel unhappy about it. Totally vegan it's actually quite large with lots of places to sit and just plants everywhere. if I had more money, I would buy myself every single plant and item they have here. lovely food, lovely staff, highly recommend! please support your neighborhood, vegan place.“
“Soooo goood!!!! I've ordered so many times from here since I first tried it and it hits every time! The coffee is so tasty. The breakfast burrito is soooo yummy, the refried beans on it gives it that cali breakfast burrito taste. The bacon egg and cheese? Bomb. The pancakes? Fluffy and buttery and perfect. The waffles are great too. This place is a treat. 10/10.“
“I love harpoon Hanna’s. It’s a gem and now new Rochelle now has the best coffee caffe. The iced coffees are amazing. The owner kim and all her staff are so wonderful. Like being at home. It’s a beautiful atmospheric joy. New Rochelle new yummy treasure. A million stars ⭐️“
“We enjoyed a lovely dinner here. Chicken wings stole the show, incredibly tasty and crispy. They offer a wide range of Pho (noodle) as well. Desserts are also must-try, the coconut jelly and the creamcheese yoghurt are sooo refreshing while not too sweet. Will defo come back to try their House special rice and spring rolls.“
“Amazing!!! 5 stars all the way for this wonderful gem of a cafe that I found by chance. I spend $50 everytime I come here because not only the coffee but, the food is so, so good! I highly recommend the Turkish delights they are the most gourmet and high end that I have ever found outside of Turkey. Also I absolutely loved the Pep’N Cheese it really made me feel like I was in Istanbul again! Sezen the owner is as sweet as can be and I will definitely be coming back again!!!“
“I love this place! The pastries are soooo delicious but they get sold so quickly, so it’s best to get there early! Their special twist on drinks always turns out great! Their new tea drinks are both so great. The staff are always so welcoming and kind. The vibe inside is so chill, warm, and welcoming. I love that they share their love for the Latino culture, unapologetically. My family and I go there so often, it’s starting to feel like a home away from home lol! We laugh because we travel from the Bronx, sometimes multiple times a week, to enjoy this cafe! Definitely worth a visit!“
“On the day I left New York, I happened to come here to grab a meal near my accommodation and had a very warm and delicious meal at a reasonable price. It was run by two Korean owners, which warmed my heart. I heard you're planning to retire soon, so stop by before it closes!“
“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.“
“I ordered a mocha latte and it was really good (they use stumotown coffee so it was a good sign from the beginning). The vibe of the place was very chill and very photo friendly even the bathroom! Batista was super friendly and accommodating.“
“I love coming here and patronizing this hyper local business. They are hardworking owners and really value their patrons and suggestions. They are into building relationships, and encourage staff be the same. Their PDQs are great (and the only place near me with them), and they have a selection of other tasty choices. They have cozy indoor seating, and cute outdoor space and are very toddler/kid friendly.“
“Climbing Wolf is a cafe that I compare all else to, their specialty coffee, atmosphere, friendliness and customer experience is above and beyond. The coffee blows me away each time and it is a wonderful place to be. As a local artist who has hosted several pop-up shops, I can say that the owner is overwhelmingly kind and has been generous in our collaborations. The baristas are also personable, knowledgable about specialty coffee and very willing to share advice for home the coffee enthusiast. Their coffee selection from the bar is always delicious. This is a must for anyone in Westchester looking for a perfect cafe.“
“Delightful little shop off the Main Street in Harrison. Friendly people, good selection, and good coffee :)Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan and vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: Lots of options to facilitate various needsKid-friendliness: Very friendly environment for children“
“This cafe is incredible! The ambiance is so relaxed, clean and open. The drinks are very interested, delicious and well crafted. If you go, you have to try the pistachio croissant. This is hands down the best croissant I've ever had in my life. It's got the perfect texture, perfectly balanced flavor of pistachios, butter and almond. I cannot recommend this place enough. Also check out their merch section, they've got some super cool things from local vendors!“
“I walked in after a tough day visiting one of my adult children in the C-P hospital and walked into the best coffee shop experience I have had in NYC. Great coffee, seriously amazing jam donut, a delightful patron, great service and a wonderful tiny flipboard skate shop. I know where I am going from now when it comes to getting coffee here.“
“Stepping into Boleria is like being warmly embraced by a slice of Brazilian warmth right here in town. The ambiance is light and inviting, making it a perfect haven for anyone looking to work away from the office or home, thanks to the reliable WiFi.What sets Boleria apart for me, though, is the impeccable quality of their offerings. The coffee is nothing short of fantastic, a perfect companion to their array of delicious Brazilian desserts. The guava cheesecake is a standout, offering a taste of tropical paradise with every bite. And then there are the cheese balls – I must confess, I am absolutely obsessed with them, and for good reason; they’re a crowd favorite for their authentic flavor and perfect texture.But Boleria isn’t just about the sweets. Their traditional lunch offerings, like the freshly made soups and sandwiches, are a testament to their versatility and commitment to quality. Every dish feels like a labor of love, a piece of Brazilian culinary tradition served with care.I can’t recommend Boleria enough. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. It’s more than just a bakery; it’s a delightful experience that you’ll want to return to time and time again.“
“Quaint, friendly, family-owned café with delicious offerings all around.I've been going once a week the past month, and I've tried almost everything this place offers. The food is incredible (I'm most partial to the croissants). From the coffee to the breakfast offerings to the truffles, I haven't had something I didn't think was excellent. And they make it all in-house!The staff is great. I've been in during busy times and slower times, and they're always working hard and friendly. (And the cute barista behind the counter is always nice to see.)I've worked in service in the past and so it's impressive to see them in action when the lines start forming. Really love going there. Can't recommend this place highly enough.“
“We visited this coffee shop today. I had a turkey bacon omelette. It was simply amazing. From the tasteful presentation of food to the deliciousness and the ambiance of the coffee shop. It was so amazing! My experience today makes me want to visit this coffee shop every time I come to New York City!“
“I ordered delivery through Uber eats last night and I was definitely impressed with presentation of food.. chirashi was beautifully presented as you can see in the picture and fishes were very fresh.. they could provide bit more rice though.. this is the smallest rice I ever seen in chirashi. Also, I ordered spicy salmon maki but they sent regular salmon maki which wasn't a huge deal but still bit disappointed.“
“Our visit to Dragon Tea and Mochi Donuts in Mamaroneck, NY was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance.We kicked off our experience with the Matcha Strawberry Latte – a beautifully crafted drink that not only looked stunning but also delighted our taste buds with its perfect blend of flavors. The Milk Tea with boba was a dairy-free delight, and the Brown Sugar Latte with almond milk was an absolute standout – rich, creamy, and oh-so-satisfying!But let's talk about those mochi donuts – fresh, fluffy, and downright addictive! Each bite was a burst of flavor, and we couldn't get enough. It's wonderful to see that Dragon Tea and Mochi Donuts offers dairy-free options like almond milk and oat milk, catering to various dietary preferences.Special shoutout to Gael for his exceptional service and for recommending some fantastic teas – your attention to detail and hospitality truly made our visit memorable!Overall, Dragon Tea and Mochi Donuts exceeded our expectations, and we're already planning our next visit. If you're in Mamaroneck, this charming spot is a must-visit for tea lovers and mochi donut enthusiasts alike! There are also locations in the Bronx and NYC!“
“An adorable find! I got there when it wasn’t too busy on a Sunday morning and then when the brunch hour came the staff were fabulous. I watched them pump out orders as efficient as an In-N-Out burger. Super nice, perfect little hole in the wall coffee shop. 10/10“
“The environment in this cafe was calm and relaxed. This is a great place for you to finish up any work you need and the type of music gives a nice cafe vibes. The food I order was good and I would definitely order again. The mayo spam kimbap was flavorful and I devoured that meal like in five minutes. I would totally recommend this cafe.“

“I highly recommend Booskerdoo! Not only is the product they sell of superior quality, but the customer service and the care with which they manage the coffee shop makes it truly feel like home! The staff is AWESOME!Kid-friendliness: The staff is amazing with kids! They treat them as the customers they truly are!“
“This place is the BEST! Sheza is different because they value quality of the drink and experience above all! Sheza, Maria, and the team make carefully crafted drinks and put a smile on my face every time. I’ve ordered from this place so many times I can’t count. The to go cups are STURDY and keep my drink warm on a long train ride. And the whipped coffee is insane. ?“
“Love everything about this place, from the vibe to the staff to the coffee. The vegan croissant was delicious and the super friendly staff, Ashley and Amy, made an iced latte version of the seasonal amaretto cold brew drink for me and my friend. Honestly I can’t rate the service high enough, definitely recommend checking it out!“
“Came here for the first time and wow!! So delicious so clean and I was greeted and helped by Edward who was absolutely amazing and so friendly!!! He made the best recommendations for us. This is now officially going to be my go-to boba tea spot from now on ?????“
“Bangklyn is without a doubt one of the tastiest and most unique restaurants in the city. The food is amazing and fresh, especially the fried chicken. The owner/cook/busboy is awesome and even though he won't say much, he is kind when he does talk and he works really hard to serve the customer. As for the decor, is it a thrift shop? Is it just decoration? It's difficult to tell, but either way it's cool. Highly recommend.“
“So delicious Rich in flavors, and tastes, very very very creamy , soft and sweet !Love it!! I highly recommend the cream, vanilla cake & chocolate mousse cake. The service is amazing. Everyone is so nice and everything looks so pretty. Must try the pastries too you wont regret it.“
“One of the friendliest, homeliest, and delicious places I have ever been to. The food is absolutely delightful, we got the sabich and shakshuka sandwiches, both were outstanding. The atmosphere is extremely cozy and homely and the people that run the place just seem absolutely lovely.“
“What a bright and open space to work in! Their brewed coffee is perfect — strong but not overwhelming or burnt. Also got their vanilla latte which was a perfect combination of milk for coffee. Their teriyaki chicken sandwich was yummy; it wasn’t too dry. Highly recommend!“
“The cafe was clean and cute. It offered plenty of seatings. The barista was attentive and the service was prompt, but the drinks were just okay. The Americano was smooth, but it tasted a bit stale as if the beans had been dried out and the chai latte was rather watery.“
“Nice cozy dark place. The entrance to the restaurant was..interesting and the atmosphere is pretty dark. The food was great. We had the breakfast platter and the bacon tasted like pork belly. The pancake has more of a cake taste and was thick and airy. It was certainly a unique unexpected blend of flavors but good.“
“Have been recently shopping in the area , deciding to buy an ice tea much to my surprise i was unable to leave a tip for the service. .My understanding is that's the policy from Ownership, shaking my head and feeling bad for employees especially during these times i said I've never heard such a thing.I am one who truly believes tipping is essential for the many people in these jobs.“
