Said home fries... CRAP TATER TOTS! Cheap link sausage. The worst croissant I have ever had. Stay clear. Better places nearby. EVEN DUNKIN' DONUTS IS BETTER! read more

ordered avocado toast , asked for multigrain bread, "huh what's that" was offered "gluten-free". (The location at 333 Massachusetts Ave. in Boston has multigrain). I understand this is a global brand and I guess mistakenly thought there would be some consistency as far as products or menus. "sure, fine, give me gluten-free". large hot Matcha latte with almond milk, then we're on to going over the typical reinforcement of the original order "almond milk, no not whole milk", "hot, no not iced" etc. added 15% tip (for cash register service LOL. "Did you want whole milk with that?". " on my receipt it says almond milk" " almonds milk" "yes, almond milk, please" also: "the gluten-free bread is a three dollar up charge". I laugh, exhausted, you win, and I give him a $20 bill. he gives me $16.73 back. I have the pennies in my pocket right now. Meaning, I can prove this! oh well, the avocado toast on the gluten-free bread tasted like something a dog might leave but the Matcha (says green tea on the receipt) gets about a seven. Some people will chisel themselves to great wealth and I will die a pauper. read more

Caffe Bene - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

See all

We were meeting a friend for a leisurely conversation and we wanted to find a place in lower Manhattan convenient for her & us, where there was plenty of seating *and* where we weren't blasted into the stratosphere by the music. I read reviews of many coffeehouses and finally found this place. We went there this afternoon and were thrilled that there was no music whatsoever (quite a rarity!), plus we were easily able to find a table. The space isn't as large as it seemed from the descriptions and photos, but it certainly sufficed. The young woman behind the counter was pleasant and the price of (regular) coffee was reasonable. Also; the restroom was very clean, although the hand dryer didn't work. The reason why I'm not giving five stars is because the coffee was really bland and weak. However, we and our friend intend to meet there periodically because of the positive aspects. read more

Staff was so friendly! Came on a Wednesday around 1:30pm and it wasn't too busy, lots of space and a great place to work or read or hang out!! read more

I was staying at the Sheraton Tribeca right next-door, and it was below freezing that night. I was starving but didn't have the audacity to travel more than a few yards outside of my hotel. I had seen Caffe' Bene a few times and recognized the name as well. I looked up the menu online and thought I could find something healthy and delicious there. It was a Friday night and I got there around 7:30 PM. I met Kevin W, the owner who told me his backstory. He said after moving to America all he wanted to do is open a café and now he's living his dream. That made me feel happy to support the restaurant even more. I got a turkey Panini and asked for avocado on the side as well as a side salad. I grabbed a water bottle and a lemon ginger tea and everything in total came to about $15. Very affordable, especially for New York prices. I got my food to-go and was pleased with how big my salad was. They press their Paninis in their waffle maker so it kind of looks like you're eating a waffle with your sandwich inside, but really it's just regular bread. I thought that was creative and definitely an A+ for looks. Overall, the sandwich itself was far too bready for me. I couldn't really taste what was in the middle, but tea and the salad were amazing and the avocado was nice and fresh and the portion was generous. I stay at this hotel often, so I will be returning to try out the breakfast as breakfast is my favorite meal. read more

THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!! So many options and any option you get will be very tasty! Very affordable too and super quick service, definitely will come here more often with friends read more

I previously wrote a poor review about this business. After being contacted by the owner and further research, I was totally wrong and wrote a review about a different business with the same name. Honest mistake, I do not want to hurt a business during the pandemic. Great customer service even when it's not there fault check out this Caffe Bene and this one only. read more

Picked up breakfast at this spot I found. Looked so amazing! I picked a banana whipped cream waffle, an open bacon egg avocado sandwich, latte and a breakfast plate. So delicious!! I would definitely recommend you to come here for breakfast! read more

It was my first time ordering delivery from Caffe Bene and it is a solid option when you are looking for a sweet breakfast. I got the strawberry banana whipped cream pancakes and the honey bread with caramel and whipped cream and everything was delicious and sweet (in that Asian pancake and pastry way, for a lack of a better way to describe it). You get four pancakes in the pancake order but they are smaller in diameter (like about the half the diameter of pancakes elsewhere). On the other hand, the honey bread was much thicker than I had been expecting. The only thing is by the time I got my delivery, the whipped cream had melted just leaving the bread soggy. Maybe just forego the whip cream for delivery orders. I would suggest putting the syrup and any whipped cream in separate small containers on the side to avoid the soggy bread result. They did do an amazing job with the packaging of my cappuccino. I've received spilled coffee during delivery orders from cafes but the way Caffe Bene packaged it, they made it impossible to spill which I appreciated. I'm talking like multiple tops and cartons. My delivery order was packaged neatly in a quaint bag with a sticker and made for a lovely breakfast experience, read more

Staff is always friendly and efficient. Some of the desserts though have been sitting there all day and not as fresh as you would like though. I suggest ordering any desserts/pastries between the morning and the afternoon. I ordered the banana cheesecake and my boyfriend ordered the pistachio cheesecake. Both were really hard and not easy to cut into. It was even harder to chew it lol. I ended up eating half of it; it's wasn't a very large place even to begin with. The flavor was lacking and it had that artificial banana flavor. Felt like I was eating a Runts flavored banana cheesecake. The pistachio one on the other has was very very good. It would have been better if it were fresher but you could clearly distinguish the cream cheese flavor and the pistachio flavor in the cheesecake. While the banana one, I am convinced had no cream cheese in it at all lol. I also ordered a Chai Tea Latte with a pump of Vanilla. My boyfriend and the cashier tried to convince me that it would be too sweet but I had the Chai Tea Latte without the extra Vanilla syrup and it needed it. The best part was the ambiance, nearby restrooms and the drink I ordered. Will probably keep coming back here since this is way better than your average Dunkin Donuts. read more

So many things on the menu! The food was fresh and tasted amazing and the wide array of options made it very difficult to chose one thing. The presentation was fantastic for all of the items, especially the refresher! Would recommend the macaroons and the bubble tea. Service was amazing and food was walked out to my seat. The worker was extremely friendly,gave great recommendations, and was super patient! Keep up the great work! read more

Located next to the Sheraton Tribeca hotel. Very good location. They serve several specialty coffee drinks from lattes, cappacino,, cold brew, and other drinks. We ordered the bacon egg and cheese bagel with a medium coffee and medium latte. This place takes both cash and credit card. The inside of the store is very clean. They also provide free wifi for paid customers. Be ware that there is only 1 bathroom here so there may already be a line. The drinks were great and the food was prepared well. No complaints about this place. Just wished they offer more food options, but its okay. Will definitely come here if ever staying in the Sheraton hotel. Their coffee is much better than the hotel coffee! read more

My daughter and I visited this lovely little cafe, with a huge and amazing menu. The macaroons were so good we got a whole bunch to go! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Tribeca! read more

Caffe Bene is one of my favorite spots. Coming here because of there fruity Mojito and massive sandwiches choice. My favorite is honey garlic cheese bread. Pros: Hand sanitizer is provided in the front Social distance is practiced for dine-in seating Clean and organized Free Wifi Nice decoration Friendly and informative staffs Cons: Take 10-15' to prep your food My favorite is sold out which is honey garlic cheese bread read more

I tried to order one large tea with three tea bags in it. The waitress was very rude and tried to charge me for three large teas. I explained that it doesn't make any sense to charge me for three large teas as the size of the cup doesn't matter when you are using multiple bags. She argued with me and I ended up giving up. $10 for one cup of tea with three bags. Completely stingy and nonsensical. read more

This is a great study spot. Not only do they have great tasting coffee, but they have a great selection of delicious desserts. So if the caffeine in your drink can't get you motivated to study, at least the sugar rush definitely will. There are four bar-style seating, 8 two-person tables, and one four person table in this cafe. Although not too much seating, the space is pretty large and airy, so you don't feel claustrophobic. There are also outlets and the WiFi password is available on the receipt after you purchase something (so don't throw away the receipt unless you want to awkwardly ask the cashier). The music is pretty much your standard top 50 songs but played pretty softly so it makes for good background noise. I'll definitely try to come here more often to get work done rather than go to Starbucks. read more

I like coming here to study since the coffee is good and the staff is so nice. There's a good selection of drinks and food. I always get the teriyaki chicken sandwich and an iced coffee. The place is clean and has good music. Cute barista, too read more

unfortunately not much here is made from scratch or fresh. the pancakes and sausage are previously frozen.

Waited here for my ride back to New Jersey, so the location was very convenient. I ordered a sweet corn and mayo honey bread and it tasted very good, but for $8 you'd expect more than just a soft slice of bread toasted with canned corn and this sweet mayo on it. They also took a while to make it. I had the wipe the table down myself because it had crumbs all over it. The plastic utensils were supposed to be separated (forks and knives) but they were kinda mixed together. So I'm not sure how many hands have touched each one. Didn't feel that clean. However, the sweet corn honey bread was just my taste. read more

Caffe Bene - Sweet Corn and Mayo Honey Bread - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The response from the management was swift and greatly appreciated! I am glad they addressed the employee directly the issue. Their 'excuse' for no gloves because of the difficulty in pulling apart the white cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches is absurd particularly when I watched the employee stick his bare hand in a contusion shredded cheese and manipulate the white bread all without benefit of using a glove. At least it's not a process issue but rather a training issue - don't do what's easiest do what's right and on compliance with the Dept of Health. I'll go back just to poke my head in the kitchen to check! read more

Don't know even where to begin with this place: 1. If took the cashier a few minutes to take my order of a simple egg white and cheese on a bagel lightly toasted with butter. Which cost $5.25 (not including taxes) 2. Took 10 minutes to make. Which is completely insane specially in New York City. (There were only two customers a man who had placed an order after me and myself.) 3. I finally received a fake looking bagel, about the size of the palm of my hand (super small). I could not stop laughing when I saw what I payed for.) 4. The eggs were scrambled and certainly not egg whites! Which means the egg fell out as you grabbed the chubby-baby bagel. They ever so lightly sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese on the egg and to top it off they added something sweet! Very puzzling and ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! How can a business in Tribeca mess up a regular NYC egg and cheese on a bagel! I'm sure that they were trying to be original creating their fake version of an egg and cheese on a bagel but they failed miserably! read more

Refused to allow my three year old son to go to the washroom until I ordered something. I adamantly told them I would pay for the drink but please let my toddler go to the washroom first. They refused. I ordered a random drink and paid quickly to get a code to the bathroom as my son was in distress.They were quite rude and not understanding at all, really horrible customer service . Please avoid at all costs. Look at the ransom potty drink photos. read more

Yum latte and great breakfast sandwich. Got caught in the rain today and ran in for shelter. Warmed up with a cup of vanilla latte, spotted with perfectly roasted coffee beans they grind especially for each cup. Run in and relax in the glow of industrial type lighting overhead and super chill cafe music. Cute animal portraits made me smile. Cuz you know.. cats in glasses are so fetch. Yep, pun intended. read more

I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. The egg is not fried, it's a boiled egg that's cut into slices. The bagel was so tough that my jaw hurts from chewing the first bite. So I basically paid 4.63 for a stale sandwich. read more

When I found out there was a Caffe Bene on the borders of TriBeCa and Chinatown, I was excited because I adore blogging and working from coffee shops and cafes (but they have to be good ones). It's located on a busy block of Caffe Bene with multiple retail, tourist trap shops, Planet Fitness, The Sheraton hotel, and much more. It's also accessible by the Canal Street station in Chinatown serviced by: 6, J, Q, R, N, W and Z. Another Canal Street station is close by and serviced by: A, C and E. This Caffe Bene is not as big as the one I normally go to in Bensonhurst (my hood), but at least it's got cozy seating, wood-like decor, soft music, and a clean bathroom. WiFi is strong and working at this location. The staff here are very friendly and nice. I've been here once and twice and at times there are people like me that enjoy writing or working out of a coffee shop, tourists, and people that work around the neighborhood. There's a decent amount of outlets available for your electronic charging needs. I definitely feel that the iced coffee here is slightly better than the Bensonhurst location. Two things I liked about this Caffe Bene during my first visit is that they have salads (not much, but still good). I feel a lot of people that work or live around TriBeCa seek salads and there aren't many salad spots in that part of TriBeCa and in Chinatown. I also saw they had a menu available for visitors to look at which I thought was great and a nice touch! Overall, I've had some positive experiences working and writing my blogs in this Caffe Bene. I'm glad they've opened up another one in Lower Manhattan. I'm a huge Starbucks fan, but Caffe Bene is definitely a good alternative from Starbucks at times and Dunkin Donuts. read more
