Wonderful service who helped reposition claw machines promptly!

Such a cool experience for any Harry Potter fan!…read more The Harry Potter Shop was HUGE and honestly so much cooler than I expected. There was so much to look at and they had so many fun things throughout the shop. You could easily spend a good amount of time walking around and looking at everything. We also got some sweet treats while we were there. We tried the cake cup, which was yummy, although I expected it to be a little more moist. The Butterbeer was definitely my favorite though! It was so good and such a fun thing to try while visiting the shop. They even have a restroom, which was a nice bonus since we were already spending some time there. Even if you're not planning to buy anything, I think it's worth stopping in just for the experience. It really feels like you're stepping into the Harry Potter world and there are so many fun details to see. Definitely a fun NYC stop!

They also have a little section where you can purchase jewelry, coasters and keychains just to name a few. There is some seating here to enjoy your coffee at. They have a few food items too, but I did not get food. I tried the Turkish coffee and an iced latte. The Iced latte was very milky. The Turkish coffee I really only got because it comes in a beautiful pot/cup. It is not something I would think I like but I was wrong. I liked it more than the Iced latte. I was shocked. Their cups they have here are cute as you can see in the pictures. It is a good vibes only place. If I am in the area I would deff come back and try out a different drink and give it another chance.

I cannot believe they don't serve hot food starting around 8:15pm and they close at 11pm. They only have cold items like hummus and veggies and sweets. And apparently, no outside food.

This is definitely not the case at the Main Street Board Game Cafe! The $15 entrance fee makes perfect sense to me... as they have a great variety of games in surprisingly immaculate condition, and very knowledgeable staff that are happy to explain how all of the games are played. The staff are really what set this cafe apart from others like it. Learning the rules from an expert is what makes complicated strategy based games less scary and more fun!! Everything is also very clean and well maintained, and the food is tasty. Definitely not the fanciest or most complex stuff on the menu, but who's coming here for the food anyway? They make a yummy grilled cheese, and some really good strong espresso based drinks. They have a great selection of teas from the clipper ship tea company as well.

They have an impressive variety of teas, coffees, food and desserts. They also have plenty of vegan options. I ordered a custom-made iced brewed Jasmine Flower Green Tea/Passionfruit Papaya Combo, no sweetener of any kind. It was refreshing, and I could taste the floral and fruity notes. I also had a slice of Chocolate Pecan Pie, which was delightful. Both orders were to go. The manager (I forgot his name) was great and knowledgeable. He was the one who served me and told me that I could sit outside and enjoy my order at any of the small tables; but that there would be no waitstaff since I took my order to go. So I sat outside and enjoyed my order, people and vehicle watching. The downside is that this place is CASH ONLY, and it took about 20 minutes for my order to come out.

They had quite the options when it came to either having like a lunch, breakfast, pastries along with coffee and lattes. We decided to go with chicken and waffles and classic breakfast of eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Everything was made fresh and didn't take long. Everything was good we enjoyed our breakfast and our shakes. I will definitely visit them again if I'm ever in the neighborhood to try their other menu options. Seems like a good chill out spot as well to eat at work or just read a book while you enjoy your food or drink.

The person working at Whiskers even sat a cat in my lap, told me his name (Oscar), and said he was available if I wanted to take him home. Let me tell ya - I was very tempted. This guy was a sweetie! The cafe isn't the nicest place I've ever been. It needs some TLC and the coffee & tea is Keurig style. Just an FYI if you're going to Whiskers thinking it is as nice as other cat cafes you've seen, because it isn't. However, the primary purpose for its existence is to find these cats a loving home. If that's something you're interested in, then you should visit.

I have never seen anything quite like Aux Merveilleux de Fred. What an absolute delight! Not only…read moreare the desserts incredible, but the employees were so friendly and pleasant to deal with as well. The star of the show is, of course, the Merveilleux. It's made with light, airy meringue and whipped cream, then covered in chocolate shavings. It somehow manages to be rich and delicate at the same time. I can see why it's their signature dessert. They offer different flavors and sizes too, from mini versions to larger cakes that are perfect for sharing. One of the coolest parts of visiting is that the kitchen is completely open. You can watch the pastry chefs assembling these beautiful creations right in front of you. It's mesmerizing and makes the whole experience feel special. The bakery has roots in Northern France and Belgium, where the Merveilleux originated, but pastry chef Frédéric Vaucamps reinvented the classic recipe to make it lighter and more modern. Whatever he did worked because these pastries are unforgettable. A quick tip: cash only, so come prepared. Honestly, if you're anywhere nearby, I think you need to run there. Between the amazing desserts, the friendly staff, and the chance to watch everything being made fresh, it's one of the most enjoyable bakery experiences I've had in a long time. I know you won't be sorry!

Aux Merveilleux de Fred is a tiny, beautifully fragrant shop on 8th Ave. I ordered the cold brew black and it was one of the smoothest, most satisfying first cups of the day I've had in a long time. Finding genuinely good black cold brew in this city is harder than it should be, and this one hit the spot so perfectly I made a second solo trip before sundown. The chocolate and almond croissant was delicate, flaky, and exactly what a croissant should be. The shop itself is small, no indoor seating, but two benches out front! The staff was warm and the whole place smells incredible the moment you walk in. I've already earmarked the Cramique for my next visit, because if it's anywhere near as good as everything else, I'm in trouble. Do yourself a favor and stop in!
