This place slays hard. The owner is nice and the food is great and really consistent. Vibes are good but it gets busy during lunch so don't come if you're in a rush unless you order ahead. read more

I stopped in to Bite to grab a bite, and I have mixed feelings. I ordered a Prosciutto Panini, and I waited. Bite needs a good cleaning. The aroma emanating from the basement was unpleasant to say the least. My sandwich arrived about fifteen minutes after I place my order. The Sundried Tomato did not work with the Prosciutto and Mozzarella. I think that if I return I will ask for the sandwich not to be pressed, and fresh Tomato instead. My bill with a bottle of water was $14. Thank U next! read more

This is my favorite place near my studio to go for lunch or breakfast. I love to get the Thai Coconut Soup!! It hits the spot every time. Today I tried the organic egg sandwich and the brioche was so soft and yummy!! It was the best egg sandwich I've ever had!! I added swiss cheese. I love the vibe here, artwork and mosaic skateboards on the wall, chill music, love this place! The service is fast and Ray and the guys take great care of me. It's super affordable as well! read more

Last week I had an amazingly rich & flavorful vegan zesty lemon & coconut cake. The lemon tastes like Spring & the coconut reminds me of summer, a fresh & yummy combination, vibrantly delicious. You're in for a real treat if you're lucky enough to go to this Bite location when this moist dense cake is available. The soups here taste like homemade, slow-simmered with high-quality ingredients. Super fresh sandwiches are always delicious. fyi: on some, let them know how spicy you like it Have been to all locations each has a very cool vibe. The East 14th St location is where I find myself most often. read more

Bite is phenomenal and one of the best bang for your buck eateries in NYC. Sandwiches are fresh and flavorful; the menu is so varied that I sometimes have trouble choosing! But their half and half option (half panini half sandwich) is really great. I had half of the turkey brie sandwich and half of the chicken mozz panini. 2 sandwiches for 24 bucks. Better than most options in NYC. I wish there was a bite in Midtown! read more

The chicken on the Panini and sandwich were both very dry, however, the ingredients seemed fresh and quality. Portions and service were good. read more

Bite - Fresh Mozzarella Sandwich - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I was on the hunt for a new lunch spot and stumbled upon Bite. Its near my office and had some pretty great reviews so I figured I would try. I went ahead and ordered online, mainly because I hate waiting in lunch crowds. Glad I did! As soon as I walked in, it was packed to the max. I took it as a great sign but also had no idea where I was supposed to go to pick up my food. I wiggled my way to the bar and someone noticed me looking like a lost puppy and knew I was there for a pick up. As soon as I go the bag, I was shocked at the weight. Oh, this was a REAL sandwich. I had the grilled chicken panini and it was so yummy. super flavorful and dripping with goodness. I highly suggest you first prepare for this sandwich by having a stack of napkins in reach. It was a little messy, but it was totally worth it. They have found a new customer in me. read more

I was wandering the streets aimlessly trying to photograph some post-election day madness (side note: I didn't) and needed to fill my food box. It was already 3 and didn't wanna spoil my supper so I just needed a quick "bite". (If you stop reading now, I completely understand) Found this spot and the street was closed off so outside dining was a go. Got the Black Forest ham panini and it did the job. I especially enjoyed the pickled jalapeños because who doesn't like to add a lil spice to their life. The chipotle Mayo got me so excited that I got some on my mask and now I just remembered I have to put some shout on it. Hopefully it's not a permanent stain because if it is, I'm gonna be pissed. read more

Bite - Black Forest Ham Panini - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

Bite is just AMAZING. The food is so tasty, fresh, and creative. It's an interesting, Mediterranean style cafe with unique food that you can't really find anywhere else. My go-to is the chicken panini...so I ordered two LOL (one to eat there and one to-go). Their salad is also really hearty and filling with unique add-ins and dressing. I also ordered from the specials menu and went for a Mediterranean grilled cheese (feta, ricotta, olives, tomato, etc.) which came with and amazing tomato soup. You also have to try the traditional Malawakh! It's like a doughy crepe with sauce and salad. Very simple but delicious Free coffee (hot or iced) when you check in!!! Love this place! read more

I was looking for a quick late lunch, and I came here after seeing by Chloe next door packed. The menu is very creative there were a ton of options to satisfy every appetite and palate. I got a combo with half vegetarian lentil soup and half salami panini. The soup was packed with different types of veggies, and it was surprisingly very filling! The panini was amazing too--the bread is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It seems like most items are under $10, which makes this a great place for a healthy, delicious lunch. read more

Another solid location to go along with their sister spot on East 14th Street. I was happy to stumble upon this one not too long ago and can safely say their sandwich and soup options were just as good as I remembered The vegetable split pea soup served up with bread to dip and soak, along with my fave sandwich here - Exotic Tuna (Curried tuna with golden raisins, red cabbage, carrots, field greens, and plum tomatoes) - were pretty much the same as I had in the other location. Just as tasty. That damn well hit the spot and satisfied my hangry-ness! Along with fair prices, friendly service, and a clean casual dining area this is a must try for lunch. read more

My to go place for a casual meal in town! Food is amazing (schnitzel is my favorite) and there is a large variety of dishes in the menu including vegetarian and vegan. It's a nice place to come solo, or with a small group for a relaxed, casual dine. read more

The food is great but they are AWFUL at delivering. They forget to send drivers out, they give the wrong orders all the time. It's so frustrating because there are such limited places to order healthy and fresh food for lunch. I've given this place so many chances but they need to step it up. The order is literally written out for you My soup was wrong and I asked for no rice...they wrote "no rice" on my incorrect soup...for there to be rice inside (: read more

Bite - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I love Bite! Started going to their 14th street location, I prefer this spacious location in Chelsea. I have been going here for a couple of years, since I was eating meat, and now as a vegetarian, which is nice they have options for both times in my life, lol. My previous go-to was Green Thai Coconut Curry with chicken or the Grilled Chicken Panini combo (either with soup or salad). Now my favorite is the vegan schnitzel, which I sometimes think about automatically when I'm in the area, lol. I will also get this sandwich either, in it's entirety, with a combo of soup or salad. Their salads are very refreshing so depending on the weather I will get salad or soup. The vegan schnitzel comes with chipotle mayo, and pickle in the sandwich. SOOO yummy. I often will dip the sandwich in usually a mix of lentil/tomato soup or with the salad dressing (balsamic vingerette). What's great is there is a little something for everyone here. Their seasoned fries are yummy and large enough to share. I've been for breakfast as well, I order ahead with Ritual (app) and get the Organic egg sandwich with fresh mozzarella, very hearty and satisfying with chipotle mayo (see a pattern :P ). My only knock would be that they don't need the volume on their music playing to be too loud as sound of customers music make it overly loud. Speaking of sound! they also have live music which I've only once caught the end of, gotta check it out more. Yeah I'm a fan and recommend. read more

Bite - Satisfied. Vegan Schnitzel Vegetable Lentil Soup combo. - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I had Bite for lunch during the work week and boy was I surprised. It was great! I got the panini and soup special which is about $11 or $12. The panini was great and flavorful. The soup was okay but lacked a little on the flavor side. I added a little cheese and cracked black pepper and fixed that problem quickly. Overall it was a quick and satisfying meal for a super decent price considering the area. Would I come back? Absolutely! I can't wait to try more items. Would I recommend it to a coworker? Yes! read more

Flavor of foods, variety of options, quantity & value. Keep it up and thank you for being a healthy food option! (I go to all 3 locations.) *GF and VEGAN options available* My faves: _ COMBOs (~$9) for 1/2 sandwich + choice of 1/2 soup or 1/2 salad The balsamic vinaigrette is delish. _ Exotic Tuna Sandwich (on GF bread) _ Grilled Chicken Panini (on GF bread) Everyone I bring here enjoys it. Highly recommended. read more

Very good taste and good deal with the combo. Salad was amazing with hummus and roasted eggplant. Pita bread was great warm and puffy and good portion. And good deal for lunch option with just $11.5 price. read more

Bite - Half (Vegetable lentils soup) + Half (Mediterranean salad with pita bread) for $11.50 - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I really wanted to like this place. Opted to come here for a healthy meal. Chose this place over By Chloe, which is next door because of the price difference. I ordered a hummus plate with sautéed mushrooms. The hummus was fine but the mushrooms ruined it. Not only was the mushroom seemingly out of a can and flavorless. It was watery and didn't look sautéed at all. I can deal with that and enjoy the hummus but the water from the mushrooms made the whole plate unappetizing. The coffee was blah. Literally worse than 7-11 coffee. People seem to enjoy the place a lot. I guess I chose the wrong dish. read more

First impressions last a lifetime. Or maybe a few seasons. I'd first been introduced to Bite at their 14th street location several years back. It always had a somewhat grimy feel to it BUT they had an A food grade, so I tried them out. Fell in love with their Sabih sandwich which is eggplant, boiled egg and other phenomenal things. I finally stopped going when I saw a Grade Pending that turned into a B or lower, can't recall. But, it was enough to confirm the grimy feeling perhaps was real. But enough about them. Their sister location at 23rd is quite the improvement. Open space, bright, spotless, new fixtures, and inviting. I was actually heading to my vegan friend next door as I typically do, but stopped in my tracks and decided to give Bite another try. 4 years had passed and this was an entirely new and visibly improved location. I'd also read a review the night before that said they had vegan options. I walked in and scanned the menu and saw several. The cashier was so bubbly and helpful and even came by after I received my food to warn me that the sauce had honey--but no worries, I'm not THAT vegan. But it was thoughtful. Pretty much every employee I interacted with was just as helpful and pleasant. I'll definitely be back. read more

aaaaahhhhhh, at long last a decent falafel. This neighborhood suffered a great loos when the place on 23rd and 7th closed during C19. Bite is the great successor. Delicious flavorful falafel salad with matbucha, hummus, on a nice pile of fresh greens and slightly thinned tahini. I'd like the falafel nuggets cooked a bit longer, but they were fine as they were. Nice portion for the price. With a fresh baked fluffy pita. I will ask next time if they have a ww one. With adult utensils. Ya know, metal, so's they don't break halfway through the meal. Good mango banana smoothie. Friendly people, fast service at busy lunchtime. Clean inside. Indoor tables for about 20. read more

I love this place! It's so hip!! The food is fabulous! I had the prosciutto and mozzarella panini. Holy cow. This panini sent my taste buds to a whole different realm! The coffee is good too! Nice and strong as it should be. The staff is very kind and greeted me as soon as I entered. The service is super quick. My panini was out in 3 minutes. There is lots of seating so you don't have to work about seeking for a spot. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this cute little place. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Bite is one of those places that you need next to your work or your apartment. They serve some delicious plates, homestyle soups and sandwiches. I stopped by here for late lunch Monday and it wasn't busy. You order at the counter and you can either dine in or take out. I got the combo, mediterranean tuna panini and coconut chicken curry stew. Odd combo but this is what happens when you can't decide. It was so darn good. The sandwich was balanced salty, spicy and acidic. It all melted together with gooey cheese in hot crisp bread. I wish you could taste more of the tuna though. The curry stew was flavorful and packed with yummy veggies and chicken. I couldn't breathe after. Also. Get their vegan chocolate chip walnut banana bread. It's made in house. Vegan or not. You won't regret it! read more

Looked for a place to grab a quick bite (pun intended) for lunch in Chelsea and found Bite on Ritual. Ordered probably 10 minutes in and walked into a busy, loud, little restaurant on a weekday. I went to the back counter to pickup but my panini was not ready. It took a bit, however, the app did mention 10-20 minutes. Luckily it came out at a decent time and CNN was playing on the big screen to keep me up-to-date with the world. Place is pretty good. I enjoyed my chicken panini on rye. The cheese was delectable and the bread had the right crunch. Chicken was juicy. No regrets! Will I come again? Sure! But maybe I'll take my time strolling by Flatiron. Accepts card and Ritual. And delivery from Postmates! read more

For someone who doesn't eat a traditional breakfast, I've found my home at bite. They serve sandwiches and Paninis at the crack of ass for traditions breakfast haters like myself. Their lattes are a1, and the service is on point. The tomato, mozza panini add pesto? To die for! read more

I was really glad to find this place! My friends and I were trying to go to By Chloe for dinner next door, but it was very crowded and not everyone was thrilled about the options. So luckily Bite was next door and we all agreed it sounded good. I shared the cauliflower appetizer and the shakshuka. Both were delicious. The shakshuka especially has a delicious red sauce and is served with warm, toasty pita bread. They were even nice enough to give us another piece of bread when we asked! I like the decor a lot, beautiful tiles on the floor and cool art on the walls. It was pretty quiet on a Sunday evening so it was nice that we could spread out at two tables. I could see this place being popular wth the lunch crowd during the week. The prices are reasonable so that is an extra bonus! read more

My girlfriend and I were looking for a place with food that was light but filling and we stumbled across this place. She got the combo ( 1/2 panini and small soup) and ordered the fresh mozzarella panini and the country tomato soup. I ordered the chicken schnitzel salad and the spicy black bean soup.Their soups are water based, not creamy. It was all very flavorful. The owner came up to us for a chat and let us try the vegan cookie. Rich and delicious! I would highly recommend this place! read more

In the world of Cava, Dig Inn, and Sweetgreen...Bite should not be forgotten. They may be the red-headed step-child of go to lunch spots in New York City, but their food and staff help prove them as the true Cinderella story. I found Bite while working in the Flatiron area, and now order to go and make the walk from Midtown West. Yes, crazy, but necessary. I consistently get their Mediterranean Salad with Chicken and it gets better everytime. The eggplant is cooked to perfection, and for the price I'm always happily full. Staff is very friendly and attentive despite how crazy it can sometimes get during lunch. Plus...they have a rainbow flag. How can you not support them. Shantay, you stay. read more

I was feeling some eggplant (weird, I know) so I chose to try Bite. My craving was satisfied with the Middle Eastern vegan sandwich. It is loaded with savory fried eggplant that melts in your mouth. The fresh tomatoes and greens helps cut the oil. The hummus and roasted pepper tapenade is delicious as well. As if this amount of oil wasn't enough, I also ordered the panko encrusted cauliflower. I was shocked at how well the panko holds to the veggie and makes for a wonderful flavor combination. Sadly, I had to waste the tahini that came with it because it was too spicy. I wish they had more vegan options, since I basically already got the few items they offer. However, I would still return just to get the same two things. The place is also very inviting for a sit-down meal. It is nicely decorated and feels intimate. The woman that took my order was very helpful and friendly so I assume service would be just as good if you choose to stay. read more

Probably my favorite cafe. I discovered their Union Square location years ago and tried a bunch of things on their menu. They also have a small location on Lafayette. Hummus, sandwiches, paninis. Their middle eastern salad is delicious but they have THE BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICH in the city. The organic egg sandwich, sometimes add some cheese, is the best thing you can get. The vibe is cool, the staff has personality, and it's never crowded. This location has the most seating, so it's my favorite. It's not a quick grab-and-go, so if you're in a rush, probably best to try somewhere else! read more

First off, the manager and employees need to work on their professionalism. Went in for lunch and they were talking about how lettuce was thrown in the garbage, call each other the "R" word, and fighting right in front of the customers. As for the food, I got a sandwich on gluten free bread that turned instantly soggy and couldn't be eaten as a sandwich. My salad also came with no dressing. Won't be going back for many reasons. read more

I've ordered from here twice. Both times - terrible. The latest and LAST time, the pickup experience is completely disorganized. A line of 10-15 bags on the bar (where people sit?) with one dedicated pickup person who was taking credit cards and handling dirty dishes. After finically getting his attention (after him haphazardly going to other people) he found my order. Take a look at the attached photo. My "sandwich" consisted of two slices of turkey. That's it. Two. My precious experience ordering yielded multiple wrong orders for a company lunch. Their takeout game needs some major help. The salad was a bit better but nothing special. For the price, you can do much better then this. read more

I started working about 2 blocks away a year ago. When I first started at this job, everyone went to bite several times a week. Good prices, good food (and sizable portions) with little to no wait. I usually stick to sandwiches or the Mediterranean salad here, because that's what I like. Over the course of this last year, I have noticed the quality go way way down. I don't know if they changed food suppliers or everyone in the restaurant just stopped caring at once, but I will no longer be eating at Bite. First the service: Forget ordering at the counter if you go at lunch time... the lines move slow and the wait is atrocious - can't fault them for being busy, so I almost always order online. When you order online, it'll say, "your order will be ready in 15mins" or something to that effect. So I'll time my walk to arrive at Bite at the designated time and my order is almost never ready on time. It's not even close. I usually wait another 10-15 mins in the crowded back corridor because clearly everyone that orders in advance is given a bad time estimate as well. Next the food: The past few times I've ordered the Mediterranean salad, there has been a literal POOL of water at the bottom of the salad container. Not like, oh they didn't fully dry off the greens... but it's almost like someone thought it would be funny to pour 4-5oz of cloudy water in the bottom of the salad. The first time this occurred, I didn't notice until I got to the bottom and was disgusted. I know now to always check. No one wants salad soup. The final straw came today though when I ordered a simple turkey sandwich. I go to pick it up (of course it isn't ready, so I waited a few minutes) and immediately noticed the order was deceptively light in weight. I was busy at work, so I just went straight back to the office. I unwrapped the sandwich and realized why it was so light... there was a SINGLE PIECE OF TURKEY that was once folded over. My entire sandwich was a single piece of turkey, more greens (by weight) than meat and a couple frozen/slushy tomatoes. Completely inexcusable. If my order was $3 I would have still thought it was overpriced. read more

Bite - Sorry excuse for a sandwich. One single piece of turkey folded over. I would rather spend half as much at any deli and get twice the food. - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

Owner (or probably manager not sure what he is) is lovely and the food is great. However, cashier at the front ruined my experience. Usually my order gets taken by the ginger haired guy. He is super nice and polite and seeing him is a pleasure (very hard worker). However, the young lady who is also a cashier with black hair, wore it in a bun when I seen her and had a grey shirt, kinda short, has the nastiest attitude and is so unkind and rude. I politely greeted her and asked her a question about the food. She was brushing me off and making facial gestures as if she was annoyed. Granted, it was rush hour, but she didn't approach the other guests with this behavior, only me, the only woman of color at that moment. She had rude remarks like "huh" "what" "mmm-k" while I placed my orders with rude facial gestures. Honestly upset me the whole time. Another guy came in and placed his order, he was also a man of color. He pointed to the menu because he couldn't pronounce the name but tried his best and she gave him the same rude remarks and facial gestures she did with me! But not to the white people... Please find new cashiers that are willing to be unbiased and polite. Just because people need help and can't communicate the way you do doesn't mean that gives you the right to be rude! Be patient. read more
