It's a really cool spot that I've frequented with their variety of restaurants. This particular day I wanted to take a power walk and enjoy a protein packed breakfast. So I headed down to the Americano cafe. It was my first time visiting This restaurant and I couldn't understand why?? lol. This place has such a cool laid back vibe. Reminded me of a cafe in Puerto Rico in isla verde. There are comfy chairs to sit and perhaps do some flex work. It has an outdoor and indoor area. And the food was really good. I had the bacon and eggs with avocado and small salad on the side. I also had the macha lata lata. So good. I will for sure be back to chill and grab a wrap! You should too!!

They have a little coffee shop/cafe at the front - and there's an area where they have talks and live music on certain days. The people who work there are so incredibly friendly and helpful. I think there's a cute little outdoor area, but it was closed last time I visited. Hope to drop by here next time I'm in Staten Island!

One of the servers let me know they didn't have any apple turnovers, so they gave me an apple puff pastry. Imagine my surprise when I got to my seat to find that it was completely hollow, not a single apple in sight! So I went back to the counter to let them know. The servers were very kind and took pictures to let their boss know, and gave me an apple fritter instead. I guess third times the charm, because that was very tasty. We stayed at our table for a while, and it got very busy. Some of my friends waited a long time for their food to be ready, but everything did taste good. I'll probably go back and hopefully have a better experience with ordering my food, because I really did enjoy the energy and everything I tried.

Beans and Leaves

The morning of our event there was snow on the ground, and Danielle, one of the owners, personally called early to confirm everything was still on. She shoveled herself out and drove in from New Jersey to make sure the coffee bar was set up and ready. That level of dedication and professionalism truly stood out. The coffee bar itself was a huge hit. They offered espresso drinks, cappuccinos, flavored lattes, oat milk options, and iced selections -- all made fresh to order. The quality was excellent and truly café-level, not just standard event coffee. The iced lattes were especially popular with our guests. The setup was polished and professional, the baristas were friendly and efficient, and it added such a fun, elevated touch to the brunch. If you're planning a wedding event, shower, or special celebration, I highly recommend Beans & Leaves. Exceptional service, delicious coffee, and a team that genuinely cares about your event.

So good! This is what I'd expect of a Staten Island local favorite. First off, the ambiance is…read morelow-key. Upon entering, I saw customers of all ages. One table had a group of senior women catching up; another of two kids enjoying their waffles; and a third of a customer enjoying her solitude with a book in hand. Interestingly, even with the low music, the acoustics made it difficult to hear the person I was with. There was so much chatter in the space! Still, I enjoyed my time. This was my first visit, so I asked the cashier what he'd recommend for toasts. What was suggested were the avocado toast or the ricotta with fig jam and arugula toast. I went for the latter! I paired it with a hibiscus/cranberry tea called Angel Fall Mist, apparently a fav among customers. All in all, the meal was delish!!! The fig jam was not too sweet and was complemented well by the ricotta cheese. $9 for the toast plus tax came out to $10.89. The tea total was $3.27. Pretty affordable, I'd say! If you're in the neighborhood, I highly recommend it!

This was our first time and we tried the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich, the KOVA Breakfast, and spicy fries.

Most of the time, they end up coming out over easy, so this shows their attention to detail. The food was absolutely delicious. We also tried an iced matcha and iced lavender mocha coffee, both of which were very good. The inside of this place is very clean and chic. I also enjoyed the coffee-shop-type background music they play. We are not from the area, but if we are back in the area, we will definitely be stopping by for another visit.

The cost of a croissant- close to $10 each! The place was clean and spacious. Staff was friendly and I liked that Turkish tea gets served on a tiny Persian rug. With that said, I can't get past the price tag. I just think it is way too expensive for what it is.

It was busy, so after paying, you get a cute ticket--hand it to the barista for the viral latte!

Hamburger America

A Michelin-Star-Level Egg Salad Sandwich…read more This update focuses on the egg salad sandwich, which stole the show on my most recent visit. I ordered the egg salad sandwich on toasted whole-wheat bread, and it was outstanding. The flavor and texture were, in my opinion, Michelin-star level. Visually, it was almost a work of art: the egg salad had a beautiful, vibrant yellow color, thanks to the addition of yellow mustard and the use of high-quality eggs. What makes the sandwich particularly impressive is how simple the recipe is. The egg salad is based on George Motz's mother's classic recipe, made with just hard-boiled eggs, yellow mustard, and quality mayonnaise. Sometimes, keeping things simple is the secret to making something exceptional. I chose the express line and headed to the first-come, first-served seating area in the back. I quickly found a window seat, which gave me a great view of the constant SoHo hustle and bustle--the perfect setting for enjoying lunch. There are also several options for customizing your experience. You can order the egg salad on white or wheat bread, toasted or untoasted. And if you can't decide between egg salad and tuna salad, there's the off-menu "Jonathan," which combines half egg salad and half tuna salad in the same sandwich. Another option is the Salad Plate, which comes with a scoop of both egg salad and tuna salad served with Ritz crackers. As always, the restaurant was spotless, and the service was efficient, friendly, and consistently excellent. For me, though, the star of this visit was unquestionably the egg salad sandwich--simple ingredients, beautifully executed, and absolutely delicious.

It was busy but not overcrowded, and we found a table outside. When you arrive, you order at the counter inside, receive a number, and then find a seat while your meal is prepared fresh. A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!
