    Ordinarily would not complain about something like this but I've been here for morning coffee a dozen times after dropping my son off for practice as Asphalt Green and I won't be back after today. For what it's worth, I liked this place because it's open early and the coffee is a solid "good." Not remarkable, but fits squarely within the tier of quality that is slightly better than Starbucks but not anything memorable. Like, a solid B+ coffee shop. Today I came in as I usually do with my 20oz Yeti and ordered a large. Today the guy tells me they're large as are only 16 oz, so would a partial pour be okay. I just wanted coffee so I rolled my eyes inside and said sure. But something about seeing a mug that looked 2/3 full annoyed the sh*t out of me. That's entirely a me problem but still, I can't imagine they would lose more money by giving me *4oz* of coffee (e.g. not liquid gold) vs what they're saving on the price of the printed cup and lid. But I'm polite so I turned around and ordered a small so I could fill my mug, make myself happy, and have a little extra coffee. I was content to follow the rules, be nice about it, and just never come back to a place that's going to nickel-&-dime me over some hot water and probably 4 beans worth of coffee. The reason I'm publicly airing this is because after all that, my final sip from my mug was straight up a mouthful of sludgy grinds. It was so much (I took a big sip) that I almost gagged at the dog park and hand to walk home with a dry mouth full of coffee grinds. Check out the aftermath of my mug in the photo. So my advice to this place is to learn to thread the needle between a little goodwill that will invest in customer retention and being an absolute cheapskate who happens to not really train their people on basic quality control. Good luck but your coffee isn't any different than any of the other 600 places downtown who charge $4-5 for a cup of drip, so I'll say it was nice-ish while it lasted.

    Such a cute&convenient little coffee spot! Stopped by to pick up my morning coffee. The barista was very friendly and patient as we took some time looking at the menu. Drip Coffee was great, and the mocha was delicious The white chocolate oatmeal cookie was phenomenal! They do have an indoor/outdoor dine in option that looked great, but we just picked something up on the go. Would definitely come back!

    Beet Latte & Side of Berries

    This was a great healthy option to start the day to balance the rest of the junk food and beverages I enjoyed in the city. The staff were friendly and the food came out in less than 10 minutes - very fresh and good quality &quantity.

    Side of fries
    Stephanie T.

    I came in a large group and got some fries. The fries had no flavor whatsoever. I added salt and pepper but it could not redeem the dish. The fries come with a side of ketchup and a white unidentified sauce that is watery and also does not have flavor. I had other friends who ordered fries and did not finished them either. The cafe manager promptly removed our dishes as soon as we finished eating which was rude. Considering that you pay beforehand, that was not needed since the cafe was not even full. Your local Chinese spot has better fries for $5.95. The reviews are correct, customer service is spotty at best.

    I've had Bluestone Lane back in LA and decided to get it again here in NY. The Battery Park location is conveniently located close to me and super cute. Friendly employees, but slow service and nasty scone. Iced oat latte (4/5): Standard latte that's pretty difficult to mess up. No complaints as it tasted fine. Cheddar scone (1/5): Worst pastry ever. The scone was so dry that the texture tasted like saw dust in my mouth... It was NOT light and fluffy, and definitely DID NOT have a rich savory cheddar cheese flavor. I literally took two bites and threw the rest away lol.

    B.L.A.T.E.

    Bluestone Lane was right across from our hotel and I was excited to give it a try. Their menu offered both "brekkie" and lunch options. I opted for an Avocado Smash with a side of bacon and the hubby ordered the B.L.A.T.E.; consisting of bacon, lettuce (arugula), avocado, tomato, and an egg on a brioche. Hubby was stuffed for hours. My Avocado Smash came with bacon on top although I wanted it as a side. Not a problem, I just slid them off. The portion was huge and they were not cheap with the avocado; huge plus. I had a harder time slicing into the toast but over it was super fulfilling. I also ordered the vanilla oat latte which seemed like a pre-made/pre-packaged coffee. Although it did the job, it didn't quite hit the spot like a fresh made latte. Service was friendly. You can see the servers double check the food prior to it going out to the customers. I saw them push my order back to add more bacon on my plate. Nice!

    Food was outstanding. But service was horrible. We didn't even get a "hello" or "welcome". Super negative staff. Couldn't give us a smile or even speak. Also, there was a bird in the middle of the lobby flying all around. Very tiny inside. Food took a while, my friend had to wait an extra 10 minutes on his food because they said his dropped on the floor and couldn't apologize or say anything... I left a 25% tip just because.. whatever I'll never be back.atmosphere was small but clean. And it was pricey.

    Best Mates Bowl
    Vicki C.

    Was pleasantly surprised by how cute the seating area was! My flat white was pretty good - better than many of the other coffee shops in the area, and the bowl was also really yummy! Just enough veggies to keep me going for the day, and the scrambled eggs were so perfect! Kinda pricey for lunch once you add them up, so maybe a once in a while thing!

I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.

We also wanted to try a classic pastrami on rye--but without committing to the long lines at Katz's Delicatessen. Sarge's ended up being the perfect alternative, just a quick five-minute walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:00 pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which already felt like a win. The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying. If you're looking for a no-fuss, traditional deli experience without the wait, Sarge's is a great option.
