Delivery only! I order from here every so often. Their chicken Milanese sandwich is the bomb dot com! My husband likes their cheesesteaks. He often gets the fries, but the sandwich for me is big enough and satisfies me. So you get larger portions for sure. My only gripe is that you can't customize their food. For example, I loathe tomatoes. I tried to order a breakfast burrito with no tomatoes. Either they ignored the instruction or don't customize. So I learned I can only order on menu. Sorry if I'm being picky, I'm kind of a Sally Albright when I order. Customizing is very big for me. read more

My first time ordering breakfast from Cafe Bee. Here's what I tried 1) The Buttermilk Pancakes - good. Came with a few pieces of fresh fruit, butter & syrup. 2) Western Omlette - better. Big portion size. The eggs were warm & perfectly cooked. A little salty but good. 3) Bagel - pretty standard - received a toasted one, even though that's not what I ordered. Three stars for the bagel. Overall good food, large portions, and priced right for the neighborhood. read more

A lovely, hole-in-the-wall little cafe tucked in the corner of a boba shop with tasty food, including an impressively vast selection of vegan and vegetarian options. There's no seating inside the shop, but the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Park is just a few blocks away if you're alright with enjoying your food outside! The food was tasty, but a bit heavy and oversaturated with oil for my taste -- I opted for the egg white omelette, which didn't include any cheese (yay for me and my lactose intolerant friends), but did have a boat load of fresh veggies! It was incredibly tasty, and honestly way bigger than I was expecting, but did make me feel pretty greasy afterwards. The potatoes were even more saturated in oil and a bit oversalted, but still delicious. The meal also came with toast, which was just white bread toasted in what smelled like butter, so I didn't end up partaking, but the friend that I had gone to brunch with said that it was oddly chewy (potentially because it had to be wrapped in tin foil immediately after toasting). She opted for one of their signature avocado toasts, which she adored -- it looks small, but it was incredibly filling, especially since they load on what seems like half or all of an avocado onto a single, frail piece of multigrain toast. The bread definitely couldn't hold up the heft of the avocado and salmon for long, so she ended up just eating her toast with a knife and fork, but it was still delicious nonetheless. The cashier was really sweet and helpful, but it did take an incredibly long time for us to get our food; even though we were the only ones in the restaurant, we ended up waiting upwards of 25 minutes to get our to-go orders. Thankfully we weren't in too much of a rush, but I would definitely recommend opting for another spot if you're looking for a quick option. Even so, Cafe Bee has a delightfully cute concept with great options for folks following a plant-based diet, and is definitely still on the top of my NYC breakfast recommendations! read more

Delicious coffee and breakfast burrito! I had mine without avocado. I'm only deducting a star because it was really difficult to find and it took a long time to get my food. I was looking for Cafe Bee and there was nothing on the outside of the store to indicate that this is where it was located. I walked back and forth on this block and checked the address multiple times. It seemed like it had closed and been replaced by a bubble tea shop. Eventually I looked really close at the front window and saw a sign referencing Cafe Bee. When I went in, it still looked mostly like a bubble tea shop except for one lone podium that said Cafe Bee with no one standing behind it. I almost gave up and left, but I asked the person who was running the counter of the bubble tea shop if cafe bee was still open. He called someone out from the back who immediately came and stood behind the podium to take my order. It took 20ish minutes for me to get my food, which, after how long it took me to find the place and order, felt even longer. read more

We are having a lazy morning on our vacation and decided to Doordash food from here. The drinks were packaged carefully to make sure they didn't spill. I really appreciate that! Our breakfast burritos were yummy and ingredients tasted fresh. They made our food quickly and was ready to go when picked up. read more

One of my most ordered from places. They really get it right every single time. I just ordered tonight, and got the most delish kale salad and penne vodka. It felt like I cooked it it was so fresh lol. I also have enough food to feed myself for quite a while so the portions are awesome for those who like leftovers! They're quick and the food is always piping hot. Try 'em!! read more

I'm pleasantly surprised by Cafe Bee! I saw them on seamless and thought I'd order. It was last minute and they still prepared my meal. Delivery arrived on time and everything was hot. Delivery guy was not very nice though! Not the restaurants fault. I ordered a large latte with almond milk (typed in special request area and they made it with almond milk!) and a breakfast burrito. The latte was actually delicious. It was made well and had a cocoa flavor profile. Perfect size and packed well. I love that my cup was full! This latte with almond milk was $4.95. Totally worth it! And I'd definitely order it again. The breakfast burrito had a nice presentation upon opening it (amazing for delivery!). Shredded carrots and fresh greens. The burrito itself had eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, cheese, and onion. Delicious!!! I'd definitely recommend it and order it again! It was stuffed with meats and veggies and very filling. It was $13 and totally worth it as well. I'll be ordering from Cafe Bee again! I also love the custom coffee cups and logo. Very cute. read more

This restaurant messed up my delivery order. Food came cold, scrambled eggs didn't have cheese in them, and my side of avocado wasn't there. I called the restaurant to have them remake and RE deliver my order and they sent me a slice of cheese and avocado! Who does that?! Smh read more

My go to spot for a healthy brunch meal. The vegan hummus wrap or avocado eggs benedict with any of the smoothies = MY FAV. 5 stars. Great service, nice and clean. I always feel satisfied and guilt-free after one of Cafe Bee's meals. PS: The manager, Johann is a gem & really makes sure his customers are taken care of! Thank you!! read more

Soggy salad! Pasta over cooked and soggy. It's just aggravating when you spend so much money and the food is inedible. All main dishes were over cooked. Not fresh. We order 4 different salads and 4 pasta dishes. The smoothie was good. The sweets were tasty. For the amount of food we had to waste because it was pre-packed with old rotten lettuce. Soggy inedible ingredients, it's a total waste of money. Needless to say we won't be ordering from Cafe Bee again. read more

Horrible! Horrible! Horrible! Messed up my order big time then doubled downed their error by lying about their mistake. When you mess up apologize. I eventually received a refund but after I waited an hour and a half for my food, then got the wrong order and I was lied to that's the least they could do. read more

We ordered breakfast from here this morning and it was great! All of the ingredients were very fresh and flavorful. Nicely packaged and pick up was easy. I highly recommend their breakfast burrito which comes with a side salad. read more

They have some tasty items. I love their vegan tofu sandwich (on their Grubhub menu, but noth their store menu) but I'd be careful what you order. For instance the vegan tofu burger is served on a brioche bun, which is not a vegan bun. read more

Like this place so much! People are so nice and warm here! It's the first time made me like American food...haha! Honestly, I am not used to sandwich before I tried Cafe Bee. Cold bread, cold milk, cold sandwich are really not my type. Well, cafe bee has free hot soup comes with sandwich! Isn't it just beautiful~~~Both vegan lentil and chicken quinoa are so yummy!!! The chorizo N egg sandwich, avocado toast, smoke turkey sandwich(I changed to toast) taste soooo goooood! Salad is good but I like the sandwich the most! Best place to have some fast and delicious brunch with friends or alone. Cause it has free wifi!!!haha read more

I saw pictures of this place making it seem like a cute cafe. It ended up being a hole in the wall place with overpriced food. While the servers were nice, it just didn't seem like an organized place. The prices were not justified for the experience. I was also expecting vegan options but maybe they changed their menu. The only vegan option they had when I asked was a tofu scramble and avocado toast. read more

I really enjoy the food from Cafe Bee. I have only had vegan options: hummus, lentil soup, kale salad, veggie sandwich, but since trying these things, I now crave these things. No it is not cheap, but it is apparent with every bite that the dishes are well thought out and made with care, rather than thrown together mindlessly, which I appreciate tremendously... and everything has always been fresh and high-quality. read more

3.5 Stars Saw a great deal on Groupon so decided to come here. Small place but the service and food was good enough for repeated visits. TL;DR: Overall (3.5 star): A tiny and unobtrusive venue by UWS that would appeal to the coffee shop freelancers. Great menu, a bit overpriced but overall a place that warrants few visits to try out their interesting menu. FULL REVIEW: Service (1 star): The cashier/waitress was very welcoming and upon arrival greeted us and suggested a table to be seated. However, the service can be slow as she was the only one acting as the waitress and cashier. The typical wait time seems to be around 10-20 mins depending on how busy it gets. We experienced about 8-10 mins from moment we order to when we got out appetizer. Menu (1 star): I really liked their menu. There has been an explosion of coffee shops with more provocative and daring menus. This place has Soba noodle and salmon tartar which are both enticing. Pricing (0.5 star): I suppose to be daring, the prices would have to reflect that. A one person sit in can easily run you over $20. Which isn't to say it's outrageous, Aroma comes to mind, but the prices are expectedly high for such a trendier coffee shop. Presentation/Atmosphere (0.5 star): Neat and subdued with color palettes being whites and grays for their interior decor. The walls had framed canvases of their menu which I guess helps to visualize what you get. It's about 9-10 table setup that functions as a quiet coffee shop with soft contemporary music. I liked their plating, like their restaurant, its very neat and clean but could be a little more expressive. Taste (0.5 star): Unfortunately we were unable to try their more proactive dishes due to our Groupon (only main entrees), so we went with the jumbo shrimp linguini and their burger. Both good but not exceptional. Both came with a "real" salad, meaning it wasn't iceberg lettuce and cucumbers, it was spinach/spring mix. Also tried their lentil soup which was very good. Really enjoyed that. Bill: - Medium macchiato - $4.25 - Lentil soup bowl - $7 - Jumbo shrimp linguini - $16 - Beef burger (with cheese) - $13 Total: ~$40 - $25 (Groupon) = $20 (with gratuity at our own discretion) Enjoy. read more

This isn't closed. My work ordered over a dozen sandwiches. Both times we ordered, the sandwiches barely had meat in them- mostly vegetables. The hummus in the hummus wrap was unrecognizable. They also have us curry chicken when we didn't order that. They also didn't label the sandwiches. For spending over $300 we expect more. read more

This restaurant is still taking online orders.. but be aware that they are terribly slow at delivery, and sometimes fail to show at all. Some of the food is good, but having cold food .. or NO food, is not worth any of it. If you are ever lucky enough to actually reach them on the phone, they blame it on Seamless, and no drivers. Oddly, no one else seems to have this problem.. This was my last (non-delivered again) order. read more

Not to be confused with Caffe Bene, The Lucky Bee, Honeybrains, or anything similar, this recessed cafe has a large menu, including some pricey sweets and a very extensive frappe menu for those with a sweet tooth. Currently free soup with your sandwich or salad purchase, as advertised a couple times within a few feet out front. Service was friendly and the pricey espresso creme brulee was decent. read more

Worst service ever. I order a ham and egge sandwich to go. After waiting for 20 min I asked to check up on my order and they said it is going to take at least another 5 min. I asked to cancel my order and get a refund . The lady in the front told me to wait and answered the phone.. So I left without food and without the refund. read more

Let's start on the positive, the venue is beautiful. There's not much seating but that didn't appear to be an issue when I was there. They're menu is very clear, and the stores overall presentation was very nice. But my visit was very off? First, it's always off putting to walk in to a business (that's open) and see the staff sitting at a table on laptops and eating. But they were very promptly up at the counter to take my order. I ordered an Iced Mocha. The first drink handed to me was a black iced coffee. The next? A mocha, but hot. In this case, third time was the charm and I was given a very good Mocha. The chocolate wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and perfectly complimented the espresso, which I was happy about because it was an $8 drink. Overall, I was disappointed with the atmosphere because it looks promising. But in the end I got a good coffee which is what I stopped by for. read more

If you're a cafe, your main product is coffee and if you can't that right, then what are you selling? The place is cute but the coffee sucks! I hope you guys improve on your coffee and hire a real barista! Get it right! Or I'm sure this place would be there long read more

Won't last long. Very sterile decor with nondescript pictures of coffee. Speaking of coffee, it is horrible. Absolutely horrible. I have very very low standards, and honestly I would expect this "latte" if I had ordered it from a shawarma cart. That is the level of expectation to be had. It however, was over three dollars so no. It was not good. I have yet to try the food, but I probably will skip it. Very disappointed. My neighbours and I were looking forward to having a coffee place so close, but it looks like it's just a place. read more

Really friendly people here. Coffee is is fragrant and smoothies are fresh. Got a turkey and tuna sandwich here - they add avocado for kicks, making it more vibrant. The space itself is wheelchair accessible and there's a cute space out back that looks like it'd be really good for parties. Free wifi and large tables, so good for groups or quick study sessions. There's good music here too - so there's a plus read more

Went here with my daughter tonight. Had to work someplace with wifi, needed yummy food to distract the kiddo. CAFE BEE for the win! Food was delicious, staff incredibly patient and accommodating, and they were perfectly sweet even though we closed down the place. We will be back, many times, as our favorite two little dogs live around the corner, Miss Coco and Master Badgely. PS. Here's a quote from my daughter about the strawberry - Nutella crepe: " Love the desserts you make especially the crepes!!" read more

Been meaning to check out this place, and today was the day but alas I was disappointed. The decor I give a 5, although sterile it's very modern with cool toned colors. The coffee was a 3 and that too barely. But what really turned me off the most was the lack of friendliness and warmth of customer service. Being that this isn't a cookie cutter Starbucks (where there really is no attention to customer service) but a privately owned business, I would think that their strong point would be the service that they're giving. Cashier barely acknowledged me, as did my barista. Heard the avocado toast was good, so might come back for that. But I really hope that they pay more attention to customer service in the future. read more

I've eaten at Cafe Bee before, both there and through Seamless / Grubhub. I've always liked the food & service, even when its been a little slow. And then, this happened: Today, I ordered breakfast from Cafe Bee. After waiting, you know, the requisite 15 min past delivery time, I got a call from the delivery guy, telling me he couldn't find parking and needed me to "come outside and meet him" if I wanted my food. Well, first things first: this is NYC. Nobody - NOBODY - takes a car to deliver something within 10 blocks (unless its an Uber / cab). And of COURSE there's not street parking - this is Manhattan! But there *is parking in my building.* So basically, the delivery guy was full of crap. The truth is he had a few deliveries to make, decided to take his car to do it, and didn't want to take the time to get out of his car to bring my delivery to me. Now, is this a really big deal? Maybe not under normal circumstances. But see, I have cancer & just had chemo two days ago. I'm in that time after chemo when I'm not feeling great, and right now, to just throw on my street clothes and head down 30 floors because someone doesn't feel like doing his job is not something I can just do. So I told the guy I couldn't come down. He got angry and left, and I never got my food. Thanks, Cafe Bee. I won't be ordering from you ever again. read more

Good food but delivery is spotty. Took over an hour for them to deliver my food when it was only supposed to be 20 or 30 minutes, and the food was cold when it was finally delivered. What's worse is that they had their phones off so I couldn't call in to find out what was happening. I can understand if there are delays, but give people a way of knowing that there are delays. read more

A great spot for healthier eating. I have tried both smoothies and i prefer the berry one, although both are great. My boyfriend and i ordered delivery. The food arrived a little later than the ETA that was shown on the app in which i ordered from. I ordered the jumbo shrimp pasta dish, the lentil soup, and cobb salad. My boyfriend had the porkchop. He enjoyed it but said that the sauce was a bit too sweet for his liking. The lentil soup and jumbo shrimp pasta were great. The cobb salad comes with ranch sauce and tastes just like your average salad. We have also ordered breakfast from Cafe Bee before. DEFINITELY get the chorizo sandwich!!! Delicious! As for the quinoa salad - bland, ive definitely had better quinoa salads read more

This is a very unusual cafe. Yes they have all the specialty coffees, teas, smoothies and blends, it is the food that has a health and international twist. We ordered the vegan lentil soup, which had a kick to it. We also ordered the Caesar salad with tuna salad. The tahini Caesar dressing had a different flavor as did the tuna. We also ordered the avocado Bahn Mi sandwich. This was another unusual twist, using different ingredients than the norm. The green tea frappe was delicious! This is a wonderful place to try because of the creative menu. You may like their food unfortunately, I am not a fan. read more
