Cute little shop with plenty of options for breakfast egg sandwiches. The workers are kind and service is as quick as it could be in that busy store. Only a few tables and standing space so we just took our sandwiches and ate outside of the store before starting our day. read more

Great breakfast and lunch spot! The sandwiches here are delicious. I've had both the breakfast and regular Cuban and they are both fantastic and filling. The coffee is also some of the best nearby. The olive oil cookie is also a must try! Staff is friendly and food comes out relatively quickly. The inside is a bit tight but not a huge issue if you are just grabbing a quick bite or coffee to go. read more

I ordered a breakfast sandwich (brioche, egg, avocado, turkey bacon) + cappuccino = $12+$2 tip=$14. Breakfast sandwich was very good, see my pics. It did take a while, but I had the delicious cappuccino as I waited. I remove one star because this is not the place for laptops or even reading a book: there are only two small rectangular tables, each with six small and low metal stools, which are extremely uncomfortable. Even then, by the time I was done with my meal, I felt claustrophobic for a person who is not usually claustrophobic. But then again, this is New York... but then again there are other local coffee shops that have much more space and are laptop and book reading friendly. In short, I would only come back for pick up, not sit down. read more

Simple and delicious. Food is made fresh so you may have to wait a few minutes. The sausage, bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was delectable. Fluffiest eggs ever. Soft brioche bun, toasted to perfection. This was a wonderful 5 star sandwich. My wife had the Cuban sandwich and said it was the best ever. Staff was friendly and prompt. read more

I am about to make TWO bold statements about this spot! First of all, Rex makes THE BEST oat milk vanilla latte in Manhattan. I have probably consumed 20-30 lattes on my recent coffee shop spree in summer/fall, and this one tops them all. Smooth subtle vanilla flavor, creamy enough but not too creamy, and just good espresso. ALSO THE BREAKFAST SANDWICHES HERE ARE UNDERRATED. A basic egg sandwich starts off at $3.75, and you add toppings from there; they have so many, it's fun to construct each time (don't sleep on the salsa verde!!) My personal favorite build is an egg pastrami cheese mushroom onion salsa verde on brioche. And the roasted turkey sandwich is unsuspectingly delicious. I tend to take food photos but despite multiple visits, I don't have a single photo for this place because all thoughts and cameras go out the window when I get my latte and food. Pure bliss!!! Staff is super warm and friendly. FYI it is a very small space, but that makes it an endearing cozy spot especially when it's raining outside read more

I went there this afternoon. They were extremely unfriendly - never answered my questions. I asked for milk and sugar in coffee, and they murmured something - I guess it's somewhere else, and then asked "ok, should I add them myself" and they ignored. Then when I asked for a to-go bag, they had ignored me twice - I had to wait for 1 minute and ask for a bag again. read more

Rex used to be one of my favorite coffee shop to get my coffee and especially sandwiches for my colleagues, until today. I placed an order at 9:38am and the estimate pickup time was between 10am and 10:10am. I got there around 10:05am & picked up my order 10:45am. I checked the status a few times while i was waiting and they seemed like they didn't care for the wait. To manager/owner if you see your staffs are busy making orders plz jump in to help instead of eating and checking the phone read more

Too bad the coffee wasn't worth the attitude of the barista. You know, the kind who thinks an "extra shot" means pulling a regular one and calling it a day. If I wanted bad coffee and a side of indifference, I'd stay home. It was near closing, so naturally, she had to ask for help--only to ignore it and do the whole thing herself. But hey, the water was fine. read more

Rex is in my Top3 Hells Kitchen coffee shops. Their lattes and food are spectacular. I only wish they had more seating! Definitely worth a stop! read more

Rex - breakfast cuban with salsa verde - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

So good I was inspired to write a review, which I never do. I had the croissant, egg, cheese, lox, bagel, capers. Absolute perfection. They bake the breads in house, and the croissant shimmered and cracked like a crispy star on a summer night. The coffee (americano, no adds) was excellent. My amiga who is gluten free had a cheese jalepeno corn bread. It is also 10/10, and is made in house. And you can tell!! What a catch. Cool vibe, only wish there were more tables and more space because it's sooooo good the world needs to know about it. Great service too. read more

I'm always on the prowl for the best B.E.C. (Bacon, Egg, Cheese) sandwich in New York. The latest Yelp buzz has been buzzing about Rex. A B.E.C. is a classic New York breakfast sandwich. From Montauk to Battery Park, all of us want this simple sandwich to welcome the morning. I usually have a B.E.C. on the weekends, it's the equivalent of a breakfast high five. This is the reason why I came to Rex, great coffee being brewed along with a freshly made breakfast. Walking in, this is a very small spot. Order, eat and split, there are people waiting to sit at the communal table. I was expecting to see egg sandwich suggestions, nope. Build your own B.E.C. based on the choices on the board. When I got to the counter, I froze! I knew I wanted Chorizo but I forget the cheese.. I ordered a E.C, Eggs and Chorizo on freshly made Brioche bun. I chased it with a latte. This simple sandwich was a rock star! The eggs were made perfectly and the chorizo gave a nice kick. While sitting, I see Hasan Minhaj from the Daily Show across from me. The place is crowded, he's with, I assuming his wife and baby. So I sit, I munch on my E.C. and bolt out. Rex makes a danm good breakfast sandwich. If you're in the area, I highly recommend having breakfast at Rex. read more

Wife just gave birth a few blocks away (at the hospital of course), and I desperately needed a really good coffee. Not only did they deliver on that hope, as I'm now wide awake, but they could clearly see disheveled first time dad look on my face and made it a great experience. A+ coffee, A+ banana bread, A+ service, go get your coffee here. read more

We got here just a little after they stopped serving breakfast but we're still able to purchase bagels and coffee. One word: DELICIOUS. I had a poppy seed bagel with cream cheese and it was soooo yummy. They also have a little station where you can add creams, sugar, or simple syrup to your coffee yourself. Only downside is the limited seating. However if you can snag a seat it's a great place to enjoy your breakfast. read more

Rex - Bagel, Iced latte, Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Very popular local coffee shop but I don't understand the hype about it. I saw raving reviews about this place yet the only thing that stands true is fast service. The coffee is mid, I got the iced cappuccino and there was nothing enticing about it. Service was lacking too. I asked a little more splash of milk although I am aware of how much milk a cappuccino has. I could tell the staffs didn't want to and was told to pay again for a splash of milk which was hilarious. read more

My local spot for breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and baked goods! Everything is so yum! My usual is the egg sandwich on a brioche bun with white cheddar and bacon! Oooh and a iced coffee to wash it down! Now I'm ready for the daayyy :) Also the chocolate croissants are to die for and everyone loves carbs so grab one to go with your brekkie read more

Tucked on a nondescript corner of W57th and 10 avenue, lies this heavenly gem Rex. Came here with a friend from out of town for a quick brunch at ~12pm. Boy was it packed! We ordered 2 foot-long cuban sandwiches ($10, these are to DIE for), one large iced tea ($3), and one iced mocha ($5). Total bill came to $28 tax and tip no included. AMBIANCE: Rex is a trendy coffee shop, but they also make breakfast options such as breakfast burritos. Shop is quite small, as they only have two tables that can seat about 5 people each, making total seating occupancy at 10 patrons. This gem does get packed so beware! PROS: Cuban sandwich is imo the best in the city! They toasted their bread to a nice crisp, splatter a healthy dose of mustard and mustard inside, lather it with a few pieces of pickles, and in between these two golden brown crisps of a bread they put in sliced pork belly and cuban ham/jamon! The meat was so tender and juicy, and the jamon adds a ton of smokiness to the sandwich. You can still hear the crackling sounds of the bread when you press against it, clearly telling us that they make their cuban sandwiches on the spot! Best part is, this sandwich is massive! As a foot-long, it definitely filled me up, and it only cost $10! Drinks were good to. The iced tea comes unsweetened to my liking thus you can adjust the sweetness level based on your own preferences. Ice mocha had a good balance of coffee and milk, and also comes unsweeteened like your typical coffee you order from any shop. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and granted my request by taking time out of their busy lunch line to refill the water station. OVERALL: Highly recommend Rex and their cuban sandwiches! Best deal for the best flavors you can get in Manhattan! read more

The cold brew ($4) was decent and fair. I can tell the store has a lot of regulars who come by as some of the staff know some of the customers by name. The thing you need to be warned about are the egg sandwiches. If you order it, expect to wait 20-30 minutes for the sandwich. It was good, but mega tiny. I ended up having to get another breakfast after eating it. I am also not a big eater. I added jalapenos and cheese to the egg sandwich ($4.50) which ended up feeling pricey. I guess I need to give them a hour to generate a sandwich which is totally fine, but as it was my first time there I was not aware of the wait. The staff is nice and chill until you ask them about the status of your order. read more

My go-to spot for coffee and custom breakfast sandwiches near Mount Sinai West. The space is very clean, simple, modern and small - only one small table for seating and no Wi-fi so just be aware that this is more of a takeway spot! Staff are extremely friendly. Wait is usually around 10min for food My favorite breakfast sandwich order is an egg, cheese, avocado, and tomato on multigrain, but you can customize your sandwich however you like. Sandwich is on the smaller side so if you're looking for a bigger meal this might not be it. But at around $7 a sandwich it's hard to complains Don't forget to ask for the hot sauce! Their drip coffee is excellent, and so are their lattes read more

I have no idea why this is place is so hyped. It was at best average and overpriced for what you get. Won't come by again considering all of the other local options available. We came by for breakfast and got the egg sandwich. If you want any sort of protein or variation in your sandwich outside of eggs and bread, additions add up quickly. Service was fine and fast, though these are sandwiches. read more

First, the sandwich: Loved the soft brioche and egg was cooked to the perfect consistency. Wish the sausage had more flavor as it was a bit bland, and would've liked the sandwich to be larger (it was smaller than average) -- $6.50 is pretty pricey for a sausage egg cheese. The cortado was just fine, nothing special. Rex is nothing to rave about -- the sandwiches are decent but not good enough for the price. read more

I'd been looking for a good breakfast sandwich place in the area for awhile and Rex is it! Definitely on the pricier side for a smaller sized sandwich. The base egg sandwich starts pretty low, but each additional ingredient really adds up. However, it is delicious and the coffee is great too! read more
