This is such a cute, small coffee shop. Everything on the menu looked amazing, but I decided on the Lox Delight on a croissant. If you enjoy smoked salmon, this is definitely a great choice. I also had the orange juice, which tasted freshly pressed and really elevated the meal. The service was pleasant and quick, making the overall experience even better. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu. read more

I was in the area for a show and had about 45 minutes to kill. I was thirsty and just a little hungry, so I stopped in for a matcha and a slice of their orange pie. The matcha was ... not great. The orange pie though, was excellent! It was so syrupy and gooey. I would come back for that pie, but not for any of their matchas. read more

We came here to grab a quick bagel sandwich for the morning. My husband got the jalapeño bagel with egg and cheese and it was one of the saddest bagel sandwiches I've seen. The egg was so thin that it felt like there was more cheese than egg. It looks like they have a nice spread of cream cheeses but we didn't try them. read more

Try their Greek Foam latte. Different from espressos but we liked it and think you should try it too. Nice people serving your coffee without the pressure. No lines or waits on most days. Ask for a 10% local discount read more

Wonderful little stop on our way to the Manhattan cruise port. We ordered 2 espressos and a bakalava cheesecake. The bakalava was filled with more of a whipped light cheese. Kind of like a cream puff. Light, fluffy from the filling and crunchy, sticky from the phyllo dough. So good! The service was amazing as well. I highly recommend!!! read more

Amazing bagels and coffee! The freddo espresso is the best I've had in the city. The staff is incredibly friendly, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I came here multiple times during my recent visit because it was that good, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

I stumbled by this establishment while wandering through the city, and was instantly captured by the cute corner aesthetic. The bagel was delicious and was the perfect start to my morning. Would definitely come back to try their other foods. Staff was also very friendly. read more

Can't believe I didn't complete this review sooner. Was in NY last month and loved this coffee/bagel shop. I had the G.R. Frappe and an everything bagel with the lox cream cheese. Everything was great. Customer service was equally as great. Good, friendly customer service will win my support every time. read more

Coffee roasters with pastries and lunch options. This coffee shop is much better than the Starbucks across the street. The cashier was warmly greeting me, and assisted with patience. Their daily coffee has hint of citrus. Restroom is for store customers. It's a small local coffee shop, but once you step in you quickly receive the warmth vibe. read more

The bagels were really good, crusty on the outside but soft on the inside and they had a lot of fun cream cheese flavors including a tofu one if you're vegan. But the star is the pistachio latte, I think it's better than the blank street one it's so delicious and not too sweet it has salty notes, I'm obsessed read more

Bitter acidic burnt shots. Undrinkable. Was so disappointed given the number of good reviews.

I got ripped off by the cashier when we were here on June 2. I ordered 2 cappuccinos and 2 pastries (1 almond croissant and 1 plain croissant) and also presented a 10% discount card from my hotel. I was charged 28.93 (without tip)! I have the transaction record. The place is loud and chaotic so the owner/cashier had moved on to the next transaction before anything could be corrected or I could get the paper receipt. I contacted them on their website and instagram, no response. Seems like they rip off tourists if they can get away with it. Also, because it's so busy they are not able to process any requests like "extra foam," so don't even try. read more

Service is fast and friendly but food is lacking. Ambiance is warm and cozy. Vibe is vibrant and energetic. Great place to meet a friend or work for a bit. My tuna salad sandwich tasted at least 3 days old; the bread stale, the cucumber slimy. Charging $1 for alternative milk seems excessive especially since Starbucks just dropped that finally. The coffee was not bad but if I can't enjoy it with milk that doesn't make me sick without paying almost $5 for a regular drip I'll go elsewhere. read more

Great coffee, great bagel sandwich. Lovely staff members as well. Not too spacious on the interior but it's enough for a quick morning breakfast and then heading on your way. Only wish there was a bit more bacon and egg on the breakfast bagel I got. Otherwise, very happy with my experience! read more

Grind NYC - Bacon egg and cheese bagel, small black coffee - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

The baristas are chaotic and a mess. Gone there three separate times each time was a negative experience. Tried giving them the benefit of the doubt because I want to support a local place. But... 1. It's overpriced by like $3 per drink. 2. Wait times - ordered a tea. Hot water and bag of tea. Waited longer than 7min. 3. Another time three people tried to take my order. Each misunderstanding. Putting hot black coffee in front of me immediately after ordering. It was also an overcharge. Had to repeat my order several times. Then overcharged again. I told them never mind. They cursed at me, so I walked out. It's too bad. Had a good pastry once. Like the location. But I can't support bad service and being scammed, and being overcharged. There are several other small coffee shops in the area. I'll be headed to those. read more

We stopped in for a quick bagel sandwich and wrap. It took over 20 min to get our food and the chicken Cobb wrap was hot which was not indicated it was going to be. The flavor of the food was subpar as well. I would not go back again. read more

Best Cold Brew in Manhattan by a very large margin. Have tried it at 4 different coffee places and it ranged from not bad to really bitter. The Grind uses beans that have rich flavor! Bagel sandwich has all the flavors which is amazing, but I can say the bagel itself is not the best I had. Not bad, but not the best. Service is polite and efficient. Typical coffee shop vibe, with decent amount of seating. read more

we came here ordered half a dozen of bagels and they didn't give us 2 of the bagels. they also put in my coffee order wrong and i had to have them change it before the final placement. they stapled the bag shut so we didn't see the missing bagels till after we got home. disappointed in this service. we also spent a good amount here read more

Was staying at the Pod hotel, who gave me a voucher (10% off!) when I asked for a coffeehouse recommendation. Was so happy they did! Great dark roast Americano and delicious cheese danish (Greek yogurt based). Was fun people watching and just waking up with a nice brew. Service was super friendly - much more personalized experience and better food than the evil empire location across the avenue! Highly recommend! read more

Although the bagel was delicious, it could be fresher. I appreciated how seasoned it was, and how friendly the staff is! The prices are insane though! 7 dollars for a bagel? It was also packed, so it was hard to find a seat. Appreciate the staff, the WiFi, and the vibes, but wished it was more accessible! read more

The bagel with cream cheese, avocado, egg and bacon was so yummy. The bagel was a bit dry but honestly not too bad. The service was kind of quick but i'm sure they are quicker with their drinks. We didn't get any to try but the bagel sandwiches weren't too shabby. The place was very small though. However, it was cute and aesthetic. :) read more

Would not come here. Over priced. The seating is decent but if it's cold a lot of the seating isn't available. The iced drinks were filled to the brim in ice. About 1/2 cup of drink for 9 dollars... pretty crazy and it was kind of bad. The staff isn't bad but nothing to really report on. I won't be coming back. There are so many other spots that are great. Don't waste your money on watery drinks and over priced average food. read more

TLDR: surprisingly pretty good coffee, but I'd rather go elsewhere for pastries. Portions are HUGE. Moved to the area about 5 months ago and I've been frequenting here a several times a week since. I'm picky about the quality of my coffee. I was surprised by the coffee here. I assumed it wasn't going to be good, probably from the looks and sizes of the pastries but it's not bad. I only ever order black cold brews and oat lattes so I cannot speak to any of their flavorings. Keep in mind sizes are quite large. Their "small" is 16 ounces and their large is 24! I've had several food items here as well. Everything is quite large. The banana and carrot loaves aren't bad but I usually save it for two snack periods because it's enough for two people. I do like the avocado toasts, particularly the pico de gallo which comes with pico de gallo, chipotle sauce, and a runny egg on top. It's super messy so don't use your hands for this one. Toasts take a while to come out so if you're in a rush, get something else. Also like the portokalopita, if you're craving sweets. Every other food item, to me, is not worth it. They're all super sized and mediocre. Service is pretty quick. Patrons are usually a mix of tourists and locals. At the coffee shop near my old place, they got to know me pretty quick because I came so regularly. It's been 5 months and I've come to recognize their faces and names, but everyone still treats me like I'm new each time which I find strange. Overall: if you're a large portions/volume person and don't care too much for quality, this is your place! If you're a quality over quantity person, perhaps go elsewhere. Coffee isn't bad, but don't expect to find single origin selection here. read more

This place is amazing! First, the ambiance: the inside is so cute with ample seating that is super comfortable. I didn't see too many outlets, but I wasn't here to work, so I didn't look too hard. Second, the coffee: WOW! So smooth and delicious. I loved the ice drinks. Their oat milk is really good, and I don't like oat milk typically! Love the coffee and not too badly priced (~$6 for a medium one). Finally, the food: I could write stories about the hazelnut croissant. It was so light and fluffy and delicious. I loved every second. We also split a bagel, and it was a really good, fresh nyc bagel. Will definitely be returning! Found this place in my NYC Cafe Passport...it was my first stop, and I loved it. I will be continuing to make my way through this cute little cafe guide! read more

The Grind Coffee shop was good. It's in an area that is a bit far for me to go more often. Glad I was able to try it though. I heard that their hot chocolate was the thing to have. So I obviously tried it. I did not have anything to eat but their food and pastries did look good. The hot chocolate was not too bitter, not too strong or rich. It was actually just perfect. I wish I got a large rather than a small one. It was pretty crowded when I went in. It's decorated well and has plenty of seating. If you are in the Times Square area you should go check it out and try their Hot cocoa! read more

I got a cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese. It was $6. They didn't have any sweet cream cheeses which was disappointing. Too much cream cheese, had to scrape a good amount off so it wouldn't be overwhelming. My friend got a BEC and on a bagel and they charged her $16... we were pretty confused by that. Small cafe but cute, tons of people when I went on a Saturday. read more
