    Expensive, over priced and not worth $7.50
    Michelle S.

    I ordered through Uber eats. My entire order was correct except for my avocado toasts. Firstly, the uber eats menu states that the avocado toast comes with pomegranate and an egg on top. Neither of my avocado toasts ( I ordered 2) had any of those, all we got was pieces of toast with some guac spread and the spice. I called up Crawfords and spoke to the management, no help there. Spoke to Mark who was the "owner", no help there as well. On the phone, management spoke in Spanish to other workers assuming I wouldn't understand which is stupid because I DID UNDERSTAND. On the phone, we were repeatedly told they couldn't do anything about it and was extremely rude. No mention of reimbursement and no mention of redelivering the order. The entire conversation lasted 10 minutes with them constantly being unhelpful and not offering any type of reimbursement. Also, let it be know that each piece of toast was $7.50. Overall, I paid $15 for 4 triangle pieces of toast smeared with guac and some olives sprinkled on. Crawfords is overpriced and they don't even send the correct order. I will not even try this place again and rather take my money elsewhere.

    This place looks very promising with all the pictures of sandwiches around but 3 out 5 items were not available. I mean what did you run out of at 11:40 in the morning that you can't make a grilled veggie? All hardly speaking English workers at the counter did not help the situation even though they were very nice. The food is edible and nothing more. Perfect for the following saying: "Pictures can be deceiving "

    Unfortunately, they don't use real Italian bread to make a panini. The one on the picture is a regular grilled bread.

    Crawfords is a kosher coffee bar and cafe that also makes sandwiches, smoothies, pizza, desserts, and more. I found the place to be clean but my table had a funny odor that smelled like someone might have wiped it down with a dirty cloth. The waitstaff was friendly and from my observation they have a following of regulars. Prices were normal for a kosher cafe. I only had coffee which was rather mediocre in flavor and strength. So my review does not include the food which looked pretty well made.

    I first heard about Cotti back when they opened on 8th Ave. I was surprised it quickly made its way…read moreto 86th street, and it's inside my favorite poke place in the area! I was really excited to give Cotti another try after my first experience (the latte was really good). I've tried quite a few drinks from this location: Stardust Oolong Latte, Cloud Mousse Matcha Latte, Pandan Coco Latte, Cloud Mousse Pandan Crema Latte, and Coco Cotti. One thing they have in common is how milk-forward they are. So milk-forward that my Pandan Coco Latte was white instead of green! The Stardust Oolong Latte sadly tasted like straight-up milk with no Oolong taste at all. The Pandan Coco Latte tasted like a coconut latte, which isn't bad, but I would like to taste the Pandan. Overall, I think there's potential because their espresso is good, but the milk overpowers any other flavor by a lot. With so much competition in the area, I think you can do better for the price unless they make improvements. I'll give it another chance in the future, but for now, I'll be taking a break from Cotti.

They do have a small selection of butter cookies and about three varieties of rugelach. I wish there were more flavors of rugelach. The prices are a lot more affordable than Veniero's and much better tasting too. I am unsure why they don't allow photos and videos. Their bake shop looks amazing despite it's size. It looks better than most Brooklyn Italian bakeries. The other thing I wish is that there were names and prices to the pastries. It was a bit surprising to me that the clerks had no idea of the names of some of the pastries. I had to show them pictures. The woman who helped me had no idea what was in the pastries and the name of them. I think the people who work there should be better informed! This might be my new fave bakery!

It comes already with crystal boba which is my favorite. So it's supposed to be a combination of pomegranate juice and jasmine tea. However, I don't really taste the Jasmin tea that much. It was also ordered at 30% sugar but still tastes pretty sweet. All in all, I probably would not get this drink again but there are other drinks that I enjoy a lot

Their…read moredrinks - not all but some - are comparable to HeyTea's, especially the matcha and mango drinks. I've been drinking their watermelon slushee often because it's free when you spend over a certain amount on one of the food apps. I get the least amount of sugar and it kind of tastes like watermelon juice. It's very refreshing but I wouldn't send it out to compete with the other popular tea chains. This place not only sells drinks but sandwiches and small bites. Their crispy chicken sandwich is recommendable. The sauce is yummy and the chicken is usually juicy. I usually get the combos so I can takoyaki or curly fries with the sandwich. Recently, I tried their egg waffles, which seems to be a newer offer here. They have very enticing flavors, but it's kind of pricey considering it doesn't come with ice cream, like some other egg waffle shops. I tried the pork floss with seaweed but it tasted too fishy. I also tried the mochi biscoff flavor but the biscoff is not very obvious. It is softer and chewier than the pork floss and seaweed, and I think it's because of the mochi. I prefer my egg waffles crispier

    Been a regular here for years now and this place holds a special place in my heart. My all time…read morefavorite desserts are here that are found nowhere else. The star of the show: purple yam souffle with vanilla ice cream is chefs kiss!! I thought I couldn't like any dessert more than their chocolate molten lava cake but this one definitely takes the spot. Top two desserts they have! Even when I had lava cakes at fancy establishments, it doesn't hold a candle to prince tea house! Their crepe cakes are also alright but I've found the to be less unique and enjoyable especially the brown sugar boba which sometimes comes out in clumps hard to pour onto the cake. Their food selection is decent for sandwiches like chicken katsu and also fries. Their fruity teas aren't my style but their hot milk teas are amazing. The lavender green tea was more green tea which was disappointing, hoped to taste more lavender. The best one is the rose lovers milk tea, literally perfection each time. Unfortunately, this place may no longer be my usual. My favorite part of this place is that the serves don't really care about you in the sense that the bring you food and leave you alone. However, they now impose mandatory 20% tip on all tables even for table of 1 or 2. This location only. As someone who realizes the servers here simply bring food and nothing else here (which I actually love as I don't like to be bothered) but expect a high mandatory tip, this is not the way to go. Especially since there have been numerous occasions where servers are nowhere to be seen and refuse to service you for something as simple as napkins or a check if they're not your server, this is an absurd addition. Definitely visiting less now that this happened. The most bothersome is that it's mandatory. Doesn't seem right/ethical and makes it feel less genuine. Had the pleasure of visiting other prince tea house locations and the service seems better, even water without asking, surprising cash discount, and most importantly: don't impose this mandatory tip! Not sure what changed here but not what it used to be with this and it needs to change. TDLR: -best options here: rose lovers milk teas, chocolate lava cake, purple yam soufflé -major con: new mandated 20% tip!! on all tables, even table of 1 or 2, which is unheard of at other prince tea house locations and even fancy restaurants!

For apps: the buffolo chicken has a crispy skin and is juicy on the inside - it's tasty in itself but also comes with a ranch and siracha mayo dip on the side. I like their sweet potato fries and fried shrimp lollipop too. The purple crepe cake for dessert is very filling, and I tend to get this here since lots of places don't sell this. Love their booth tables in the front and the back green house garden is nice too if you want more sun.

I ordered avocado toast with eggs and a pastry. The only real positive was the bread itself, which was fresh, large, and actually tasted good. Unfortunately, that is where the positives ended. Although the avocado seemed less generic than standard store-bought guacamole, the taste was not good. The eggs were terrible -- they looked very unappetizing, tasted awful, and appeared nothing like the photo shown on Grubhub. The same photo also showed a small side salad, but no salad was included. I requested chili oil, and that was missing as well. The added cheese had virtually no flavor, so overall the dish felt careless, incomplete, and extremely unsatisfactory. I also checked the box requesting utensils, but no utensils or napkins were included. However, to be clear, this review is not about forgotten utensils. It is about the overall lack of quality, attention to detail, and customer care. The pastry was another culinary failure. It was sold under the French name -"Pan Au Raisin" but it was nothing like what real "Pain Aux Raisins " supposed to be, it was bland, greasy, oily and missing the traditional custard base plus it was delivered in an undersized paper envelope that left the food exposed, a clear violation of basic sanitary standards for food transport. Most importantly, this order caused me stomach pain and GI upset. This was the only food I had eaten in a 24-hour period, and more than 24 hours later I still felt unwell. The owner's reply to my original review was patronizing, dismissive, and refused to take any real accountability. Instead of addressing the food quality issues, the missing items, the poor packaging, and the physical reaction I had to the order, the response tried to reduce the entire problem to utensils and push the conversation into private email. I am keeping this public so other customers can make an informed decision. I wanted to support a new local business, but the bad taste, poor execution, misleading presentation, lack of care, and dismissive management made that impossible. Based on this experience, I would not order again and would not recommend this place to friends or family.
