    This food was very disappointing. The food was distasteful and the rice taste very old , ‍A  wasteful meal that cost me $18 dollar's.
    Chasity M.

    The food was disappointing and tasteless. The rice taste old and I wasted $18 on this crap. Ribs were dry with sauce covering it. I never had soggy broccoli before until today . I would have been better getting a sandwich from the other spot in this location. However the display of food was a miss .

    So many options! Care Hestia is a solid, high quality takeout/pickup lunch spot in the heart of Manhattan's financial district downtown. I come here regularly to pick up lunch since my office is close by. TBH, I usually get the same salad most times because it's consistent, it's fast, and the ingredients are fresh. However, there are a bunch of different stations and a buffet bar so I will need to branch out if I'm feeling adventurous. I have no complaints and will continue coming here for a fast lunch when I'm in the office.

    Love this place. Food is incredibly varied fresh and well cooked. There is a fantastic by the pound buffet bar for lunch Only complaint is that Cashiers are too slow. They get coffee as well and during morning rush they need some help. Line needs to move or New Yorkers get very antsy! Lunch often has a line of 25 people and only two cashiers

    Pretty convenient lunch spot in FiDi that's pretty reasonably priced. They cook noodles, rice, burgers, and tofu soup fresh and very fast. The ramen is technically instant noodles, so I don't recommend ordering that. The buffet style foods are measured by weight, so I tend to avoid it even though everything looks super fresh because I could accidentally make a $30 meal. I usually get the bibimbap and kimchi fried rice because the portions are crazy huge for $13-14 and there's a fried egg on top

    Very clean and beautifully decorated cafeteria. Always staffed and has room for people to sit. Never a wait and offers hundreds of items to choose from. Great for a quick lunch or grab-and-go meal!

    There isn't a lot going on in the Financial District. Hopefully it is coming back but unfortunately I see a lot of spaces for rent. The good news is Cafe Hestia is up and running. This is a big place with all sorts of items. It is clean and has plenty of seating so if you are vaccinated you can chill out. The sandwiches looked delicious and a classic egg sandwich would be delicious here. I think they have a few locations so they obviously know what they are doing. Check it out.

    Food is reasonably priced. Cooked on the spot and the place is brand new clean. I had the Japchae noodles and I thought it was tasty. $10 bucks too!

The matcha lemonade was of course perfect as was the butternut Mac n cheese. I have also always enjoyed the Guac burger and literally alll of the breakfast menu is delicious( breakfast only on weekends). The spot is tiny but it's well worth the wait for a seat, I mean it's busy for a reason am I right!? It's so bright and airy inside and there is also seating outside on the sidewalk. Super comfy and cute overlooking the cute west village streets. The staff is incredible and patient and willing to help and give recommendations when needed. They all are super warm and friendly. There is absolutely no reason to not come eat at Chloe's trust me with this one!

So good. For my "second visit" (aka my takeout order five minutes later), I swapped the coconut rice for the cold quinoa and bean salad -- also delicious. The second bowl had fewer mushrooms, but they weren't the headliner for me anyway. The true stars? The black beans, pickled onions, and that dreamy butternut cashew cheese. I would like to formally thank whoever invented that combination. But the real reason I'll keep coming back to this restaurant anytime I am anywhere near this neighborhood? The Matcha Latte. I had it iced with my meal -- so good even the melted ice tasted fancy. Then I had it hot with a Chunk Chocolate Cookie which is dangerously delicious but that hot matcha was rich, smooth, and absolutely scrumptious. I even went online afterward to hunt for the Matcha recipe in her cookbooks (turns out there's a lot of matcha desserts, which may or may not be a problem for future me). Bottom line: I will absolutely be back -- probably "just for a matcha"... and somehow leave with a cookie again.

There is currently construction and scaffolding in front of the place, but you'll see signage where to go at the opening of the scaffolding. We walked in, past the bar and checked in. We were seated within 5 minutes. I ordered a bourbon old-fashioned and we ordered crab rangoon as a starter. There were a lot of them and the sweet chili sauce was great. For my entree, I ordered the vodka rigatoni and a side of buttered broccoli. The vodka rigatoni was really good - liked the flavor and a decent size of pasta. The broccoli was really good for some reason to me. Also tried the truffle mac and cheese which was incredibly rich and tasted great. As a dessert, we had the chocolate pie which was dense, rich, and topped with a huge dollop of whipped topping. I really liked the atmosphere of the place, loud roaring 20s style with jazz playing. Plus I kept finding myself checking out the mural on the wall. Try it for yourself - but worth the fight to get a table.

The pure vida sauce was a herby green with mustard that was so good. There's lots of seating space with clean bathrooms and polite and prompt service throughout.

I got the spicy and it is low spice level - packed full of flavour, spaghetti squash is tomatoey and delicious, all the veggies I had were perfectly cooked and seasoned - I also tried the cauliflower and broccoli (not pictured) which were great. This is one of the few truly healthy takeout options that isn't packed full of salt sugar and additives - it tastes fresh, delicious and light. Though the portion looks quite small, it is actually very satisfying (and I can eat a lot) They get super busy (good for them as a small business!) so be aware of this when ordering at peak times in terms of wait time - my only complaint is, it is pricy - the steak in particular is quite a significant add-on. That being said, I paid for it twice in one day, so it is clearly worth it, but if I wasn't visiting - and this was a regular go-to - I would like to see prices a little more competitive.
