    Bacon & egg sandwich, mocha
    Paul O.

    A short walk from my hotel, small little coffee shop, very inconspicuously on a side street. Mocha . Had the bacon and egg sandwich, freshly made, toasted perfectly! Soo good! make sure you eat it right away. The music was , kudos to whomever made that playlist! Service and friendliness was super! They even knew my name when I left! This is the kind of place I'd come again for sure when I'm in the area.

    Excellent espresso, excellent fast service even off the line is out the door. Dbl cappuccino & Dbl macchiato was excellent. Reminded me of Italy

    Customizable egg sandwiches were good and I liked the quality for price. Service was a bit slow.

    Coffee was okay but the sandwich was absolute gasss. I got the Cuban breakfast sandwich it was ready relatively quick, I just suggest ordering ahead bc it's a small space and waiting inside is difficult.

    Cute local spot! This spot is one of our go to places when we want a lighter sandwich or a healthier alternative to deli food. They offer some nutritious options in addition to their regular sandwiches. I noticed they had expanded their menu, so I decided to give it another try. I usually visit in person, but this time, I opted for delivery. - Chopped cheese sandwich was delicious, though it felt more like a Philly cheesesteak with grilled onions and peppers. - Lamb sandwich was solid. - Chickpea salad was good, though the chickpeas were a bit mushy. - Chicken chipotle panini comes with a salad and has a nice balance of flavors. Special requests were accommodated well!

    This place is a hidden neighborhood gem. Even though I live close by, I can't say that I frequent it very often. But I've enjoyed just about everything I've tried. My favorite thing here is their breakfast Cuban. Just the bread alone is a 10. The sandwich is on the small side, but it's a hearty sandwich that will fill you up. The breakfast burrito is also great. Tried a couple of their loaf cakes and they're good too. Had coffee only a couple of times. I liked their cortado. All in all, a great place to get a quick bite or caffeine hit when in the area.

    Stopped by Rex for breakfast and it turned out to be a really solid spot. The place has a clean, simple vibe with a big selection of pastries and food. Definitely more than your typical coffee shop. I ordered the breakfast Cubano and a flat white. The Cubano was excellent. The pork was moist and flavorful, the pickles and egg worked perfectly together, and the brioche bun was toasted to a golden brown with that perfect crunch. It was a little on the smaller side, but the quality made up for it. Easily one of the better breakfast sandwiches I've had in the city. The flat white was fine, it did the job. The food is definitely the star here. Seating is pretty limited, most seats are usually taken. Still, I'd 100% come back for the sandwiches and the calm atmosphere when you can find a spot. Great place for a quick bite or to grab something on the go.

    Decent breakfast food. We ordered to the office for an onsite. I felt the bagels they used were very mediocre, but the sandwich itself was good overall, and I liked how they cooked the eggs.

    I was in the area and found this place on Yelp for breakfast. It was only a 2 minute walk from where I needed to be, so the decision was easy. I was greeted immediately when I walked in. It's a small spot. Only about three tables. Definitely more of a grab and go place. When I saw all the options for my breakfast sandwich, I still decided to be simple; BEC with hot sauce. I place my order and also order a small black iced coffee. As I'm sipping on my iced coffee (which was quite good), the kind gentleman behind the counter informs me they are out of bacon and asks me if I want a different meat instead. Hmm, how can you just run out of bacon? I went with sausage. Although the sandwich was tasty, I wish it was a sausage patty instead of sausage links. Patties are just better for breakfast sandwiches. Overall, it was a good experience. I would return and hope they have bacon!

    Popped in for a little cappuccino and croissant treat! I actually searched Yelp for a croissants in the area, I was craving a good pastry. The croissant didn't disappoint, freshly baked and tasty. They were able to accommodate and made a single shot cappuccino for me . Love that they use Battenkill milk, it's my all time favorite. It looks like they have a lot of delicious, freshly baked pastries, and even make bagel sandwiches. A lot more than you could typically ask for from a small coffee shop.

    Omg the egg sandwich with ham and cheese here is heavenly. Not the biggest sandwich, but so good nevertheless. The iced coffee here is also fantastic! Service was relatively fast and ambiance is very casual. Do note though that seating is limited and this place fills up quickly during the weekend!

    Menu

    The cafe was pretty small and didn't have much seating but it had a good vibe. The people working at the cafe are also pretty nice. I didn't get to try the food but some of the pastries looked interesting. I got a vanilla iced latte and it was pretty good ~ they also have extra syrup and milk on the side if you'd like to add more.

    Chorizo Breakfast Burrito
    Comfort O.

    Ngl I didn't expect this to be good but my chorizo breakfast burrito was actually fire. On the smaller side for sure but it was just like 8 bucks. Tons of flavor and lots of meat and actually a nice lil bit of spice. Service was good too. They were quick. I mean it's a lil coffee shop so not much of an ambiance. Clientele seems annoying but I guess they can't control that. I'd just walk over to the pier and enjoy my food there where there is ample space and seating and a view not clogged up by hipsters - which I actually did do.

Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

Located on 32nd St, between Broadway & 5th Ave Train: 34 St-Herald Sq (N/Q/R/W); also an easy walk from Penn Station. Overall, a great casual dessert stop after exploring K-Town, Midtown or nearby Chelsea.

We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

We got the Ube Crepe Cake and Chocolate Lava Cake. The size of both were the perfect amount since we just wanted something small to end the night. The ube crepe cake was really light and creamy. The ube flavor was pretty subtle, and I mostly tasted the cream. It's a perfect light dessert, but I would've liked the ube flavor to be stronger. The chocolate lava cake was super rich and decadent but also really delicious. I feel like it kinda battled with the ube crepe cake since they're total opposites. The staff were friendly. The interior was really cute and had a relaxing type of atmosphere that made it great for a nice place to sit, chat, and have dessert.
