    Black beans, chickpeas, and corn are NOT keto-friendly.
    J M.

    I sometimes get the sandwiches as a quick grab & go option, and it can be hit or miss. I've tried the nitro cold brew and a few other types of coffee drinks and didn't care for them. My macaron seemed stale. The thing that prompted me to write a review is that they're selling non-keto food as keto. The "Southwest Keto Salad" contains beans and corn which are definitely not keto-friendly. Like not even close.

    Ate here today for lunch by myself while working as a temporary substitute paraprofessional at P.S. 69 Q that I had brought the cold and fresh ham swiss sandwich and a side of cold glass of apple juice. It had tasted great, delicious and fresh. The service there was also attentive. I couldn't agree more. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time! :)

    Dessert and Iced Chai Tea Latte
    Samantha C.

    This is the second location I've been too of the Caffe Bene franchise and I have to say, I liked this one better than the first! Definitely a super cute spot to grab a quick bite or a sweet treat. Caffe Bene has a plethora of drinks you can choose from but I ordered my usual non-fat iced chai tea latte. I'm a bit particular about my chai tea lattes as I like mine on the spicier side and not too sweet. This one was a bit on the sweet side but definitely enjoyed it. I also decided to get a chocolatey dessert which was quite good too. Surprisingly not too sweet. I stopped in here as I needed a cafe for WiFi. Even though this location is tiny, there are quite a few tables here. They also have a restroom at this location that you need a code to access it. I didn't use it, but I appreciate that they had one for customers. There were a bunch of signs around saying "please only stay for 20 minutes to allow for other customers to utilize seating" (I'm paraphrasing). I also appreciated that as well. They didn't ask me to for my vaccination card even though there were signs saying customers dining in would be asked. Finally, I didn't stay for long because the WiFi was not working. On your receipt you're given the WiFi name and password. I sat down and signed in, but I kept getting kicked off. I ended up going to a Starbucks nearby for their WiFi to do some work. But all in all I had a nice experience here.

    Pistachio Ice cream
    Fateha A.

    I got the pistachio ice cream (abt $7). It was like half chocolate ice cream & half pistachio with crushed pistachio on top. I also got the passionfruit cake which was very frozen.

    Nice place, but they don't offer free refills on drip coffee and iced tea. $3.19 for a glass full of ice, I finished it in a couple of minutes. Went back to get a refill (before I purchased it they told me they provide refills). They started to charge me and when I complained they claimed that they thought I was asking about refills on the ice. Who needs ice refills for iced tea? I won't be back!

    I'm not a coffee drinker so I wanted some chai latte. It was a very cute shop. The prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, I wasn't that impressed with the chai latte. It tasted blander than I'm use to. Usually I can taste the spice from a good chai latte. The foam was nice and it wasn't too sweet but it was too mild for me. I would come back to try some other offerings. Their scones looked good.

    Here's the deal: only come here if you need a place to sit down, kill time, & use wifi for a protracted period of time *You MUST order something to sit down.* Here's why I come ONLY as a last-minute option: --when I know I have to kill time for more than 30 min, or need to relax/take a break from the nearby busy Times Square/Ktown life for a longer duration of time w/ free wifi --roomy & spacious inside Why I do not come: --overpriced food & drinks, food/desserts are so-so --watered down drinks --manager/staff sucks, they kick people out or ask you to buy something if you did not make a purchase yet (which I understand)

    Smoothies

    The smoothie I got had a plastic bag blended into it. It looks like something the fruit came in.

    Black Bean and Corn Cheesy Quesadilla, Acai Berry, Coppa Stracciatella
    Caitlin L.

    Caffe Bene has such a unique selection of drinks, food, desserts, & bakery that I was very excited to try! All visually pleasing, I was excited and conflicted with all these great options. The quesadilla was tasty, but the açaí bowl was watery. The latter did not suite my boyfriend's taste buds. The dessert was deliciously sweet, & the macaroon was perfect. I also had an iced coffee here a day or two later that I really enjoyed. Strong and fairly sweet--just the way I like it. I will definitely be coming back to try other desserts here. Not sure why there are some poor reviews here, but I really enjoyed my experience at Caffe Bene.

    Pesto grilled sandwich
    Paul P.

    The staff here is super friendly and I get the sense that the management cares. If you just want an easy, nice day, I would stop by here for a treat! They have some interesting food here. I got the pesto grilled cheese and the bacio gelato milkshake. I didn't go for a coffee or their bakery goods, since I'm familiar with them in their other locations, so I'm rounding up my review stars to be fair. The milkshake took awhile to make (think they had new members figuring out the recipe), but it was worth it. I prefer milkshakes on the thicker side, but it was extremely flavorful nevertheless. The pesto grilled cheese is a sandwich made of waffles and I believe white American cheese. A bit salty, but that's because it had a thick, goopy layer of American cheese. The pesto flavor was good. I think the grilled cheese could benefit from either a mixture of cheeses or a different kind. Another trick is they can relocate some of the cheese and put it outside so out becomes crusted to the bread. I had a good time either way, and the atmosphere here is pleasant. What else can I say?

This most recent time,…read moreI grabbed some girlfriends who have never been and we took advantage of their restaurant week menu. On a Thursday night it was quiet with only a few tables taken. Our waiter was wonderful. I started out with the Salmon Tartare which was served with toast and a salad. The salmon was delicious and so flavorful. For the main course I opted for the Steak Frites, served with a green peppercorn sauce and salad. It was wonderful, the steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the sauce was a nice accompaniment. They also have awesome fries. The others also loved the Duck Leg Confit and the Scampi Risotto. On to dessert and they were all sublime, I tasted them all. The Creme Brulee was lucious, the Chocolate Mousse was decadent with rich chocolate notes and the Il Fouttante was amazing. If you've never had Il Fouttante, it is a meringue floating in creme anglaise, their version was topped with caramel and pistachios; it was excellent. All the newbies agreed with how great it was and they want to return. As always Bistro Eloise delivered a fantastic dinner.

Nothing beats watching world-class soccer in a cozy French bistro packed with fans cheering every kick. Before the game even got going, they welcomed us with warm, perfectly baked French bread and butter. That's how you know you're off to a good start. We kicked things off with the Beef Bourguignon, and wow... rich, tender, and packed with flavor. Next came the Grilled Octopus & Chorizo with paprika butter roasted fingerling potatoes--smoky, perfectly cooked, and absolutely worth ordering. Then came the heavyweight champion: Le Steak Frites. A perfectly medium-rare grass-fed strip steak covered in a green peppercorn white sauce with crispy fries. Zero complaints. Just clean plates. The match was exciting, the food was outstanding, and for a couple of hours it honestly felt like we were sitting in a little corner of Paris instead of Queens. Final verdict: I came for the World Cup, stayed for the steak, and left wondering if I should start saying "oui" instead of "yeah." If the French eat like this every day... I finally understand why they don't rush through dinner.

Cozy but not cramped, cute little spot that's great for Summer relaxed vibes and munchies. They're specialized in Latino food and drink. They apparently have a whole flight of Margaritas and/or Mojitos to sample - I'd love to try one sometime, however yesterday I stuck with a regular Margarita and was pretty pleased. Clearly made in-house, none of the store-bought drink mixes or anything involved. My mom and I split a few appetizers between the two of us and were quite full, even had some food to bring home. Went with the birria tacos (solid), a trio of other tacos (steak + chicken + pork), and a plate of fried plantains with beef and mushrooms that was really fun - first time we'd had that, glad the waitress talked us into it. Everything came with home-made guac as well. They have a full bar with quite the selection of drinks, lots of Happy Hour specials up on the walls, and a solid, straightforward menu of additional appetizers and also burgers and sandwiches. The staff are super nice and upbeat. My Ma was buying, and I believe she spent about $85 for 3+ appetizers and a drink. Not exactly cheap but it you think of it more as a filling and fairly tasty lunch for 2, roughly $40 each - it's not bad at all. Will definitely come back and give that flight of Margs a try!
