This cafe is a great "work from home" option. There's wifi, bathroom, and seats for guests. The staff were all extremely friendly as well. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and sweetened it (vanilla syrup) and the cost came out to $10.56 which was pretty surprising. When my matcha came, I still saw clumps at the bottom of the cup and the matcha did not taste strong and it wasn't the best cup of matcha I had especially for the price. Overall loved the vibe of the cafe but the matcha that's used here is not the best quality. read more

So when a person says, "this is the best chocolate chip cookie in NY," you have expectations. And when that person is your daughter, you think, 'well, it's gotta be.' I'm glad she doesn't read my reviews. I disagree. Cookies on the website look fabulous. "Ooey - gooey," it says. Mine wasn't. It was sort of dry. Tonight I'll stick what remains in the toaster oven to see if that helps. Nothing to lose.... Edited Update: This is a cookie that should NOT be eaten cold. A couple of minutes in the oven makes a world of difference. Microwave is a no-no. read more

Stopped into Seven Grams Coffee on Madison Avenue for a quick espresso and it was a solid experience. Service was fast and efficient, which is always appreciated. They added sugar automatically, which I didn't mind since I usually take a little anyway, but it was a bit unexpected. Not a dealbreaker, just something worth noting. The vibe was great! clean, relaxed, and importantly not overrun with laptops, if you know what I mean. That alone makes it stand out a bit in Manhattan. I usually don't love some of the more pretentious coffee spots in the area, but this one surprised me. I'd definitely consider coming back. read more

Now I'm not really a coffee person, but I AM a cookie person! Seven Gram serves up some seriously tasty treats- stopped by on a weekend afternoon and got a chai latte and a matcha cookie. The chai latte was okay but that cookie... wow! Nice and soft and chewy with some gooey bits of white chocolate, this was a spectacular cookie. They are known for their cookies, so you can pick up packs of them as well (they also sell their own coffee beans, but roast dates seemed to be on the older side, like 1~2 months ago) Plenty of seating for a Manhattan cafe, which is definitely helpful. read more

This one star review could have been avoided by the cashier literally LISTENING TO THE CUSTOMER. YOUR COFFEE IS NOT good enough for u to have arrogant cashiers. This isnt soho or williamsburg where i'm going for the vibe. I asked for light ice as he was filling out my cup. He probably ignored it because he came back with my two cold brews which was full of ice. I told him nicely, can I get light ice? And he proceeded to tell me that it was a quarter cup of ice. You can see in the picture that jt is NOT. this POMPOUS cashier honestly ruined this coffee shop for me. I'm a regular since I live near by and you can bet Im never coming back. read more

Stopped in here to kill some time before meeting up with a friend. I heard about their famous chocolate chip cookie so I decided to grab two (one for me and one for my friend) and a cortado to drink. The total came to $19.05 which (unfortunately) is the going price for two cookies and a drink these days! However, I did have some sticker shock when I asked for a bag (so I didn't have to carry my friend's cookie in my hand) and I was charged an additional 50 cents via a separate transaction. The bag was paper too, yikes! Notwithstanding the overpriced bag, the coffee and cookie were DELICIOUS. The cookie might be one of my favorites in the city. The texture of the cookie is such that it is gooey on the inside even if it isn't warmed up. There is also ample seating available and a water spout with cups which I thought was polite and inviting. Will be back again if I'm in the area! read more

Nice spot to treat yourself to a delicious gooey cookie. Lots of table space so also a great spot if you want to get a coffee and work from there. Matcha cookie was really good, the right softness to break apart in easy pieces, and made gooey by the white chocolate chips inside. Staff are nice and easygoing, good vibes all around and good soft music in the background. read more

Came here for a drink and cookie and it's a nice cafe! The inside of the cafe was super busy when I went, so I was unable to grab a seat. While it might be great for catching up with friends, it might not be the best for getting work done/studying as it was quite loud. I got one of their matcha lattes and a matcha cookie, and it was good! The matcha latte was pretty standard, but the cookie was the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Would come back just for the cookies. read more

Review is for the chocolate chip only. I had seen on Instagram that 7 grams was at the top of several best of chocolate chip cookie polls and I wanted to see for myself. I happened to be walking by this location and popped in to pick up one. $6.48 lighter, I grabbed my substantial cookie and took it home. At first bite I was, yeah this is good, but average. I put it into the microwave for 15 seconds and the cookie was elevated. Nice and crispy on the outside and a little bit softer on the inside. Tastes a little buttery and not overwhelmingly sweet. I really liked it but nothing beats my favorite (although it has walnuts) Levain. read more

Convenient working cafe in Midtown! Most people here are working so the music isn't too loud, and there's a moderate volume level. They have several small individual tables and a long table with stools. Seats often free up and there's free wifi. Their iced mocha is pretty good if you have a sweet tooth, and they have a lot of sweet pastries including vegan options! read more

The tiramisu lattes that my partner and I ordered here were incredibly mid and insanely expensive(even by NYC standards). Also, every time I've come to this particular location with her(regardless of how early in the day we show up), they're always out of the almond croissant. It would be cool if they maybe carried less of the almond chocolate ones(which seem to always be in stock) and more of the regular almond ones! read more

The croissants are worth five stars. This isn't about them, they have the best almond croissants. Well actually, it kind of is. Part of the reason for the low score is I can never seem to get my hands on one. So on this trip, like many others, I had to settle for the chocolate almond croissant. It's a perfectly fine croissant, but the plain almond is truly next level and I feel like the chocolate is just doing too much. You would think if it's a popular item (which it seems to be), they would make more, but for whatever reason they refuse. Anyway... the lattes are what I have a real issue with (and the reason for the low-ish) rating. Maybe it's truly me and not them, but I hate when my shots are layered and not properly incorporated, which seems to be the move at Seven Grams. On this particular trip, I tried the tiramisu latte. I was super excited, but it was a dub. There was next to no sweetness or complexity. The cold foam was crazy thick, and all I could taste was marscarpone. And the real kicker was for two tiramisu lattes and a chocolate almond croissant, I paid nearly $40. That means those lattes were around $15!!! As a fellow barista, I get the labor and the ingredients that go into this aren't cheap, but that's a lot of money to spend only to be disappointed. Suffice it to say, I think I have to break up with Seven Grams (or maybe Seven Grams was trying to break up with me all along). It's been real, but you just can't seem to give me what I want. read more

Good mocha... but great cookie! A bit expensive though - 4.25 stars rounding down to 4. Mocha was delicious but $6.50 for a 12 oz. Can't comment on their other coffee drinks. The chocolate chip cookie was $6 but definitely the star of the show. It is thick but soft and gooey on the inside. Could easily share with another person, as it can be a bit heavy to eat on your own. Seemed like a nice environment to work from: generally clean and not too noisy. read more

It's true, the cookies here are amazing. I tried the chocolate chip, which somehow manages to be soft and sort of gooey while also having a fluffy, cake like consistency. It's a bit crispy and ever-so-slightly slightly over baked on the outside, which I like. The cookie is not overly sweet. The iced flat white was smooth and tasty and mildly sweet on its own, so I didn't add any sugar and didn't miss the lack of Splenda too much. I took my coffee and cookie to go, but there is limited inside seating available as well. read more

Came here for their ooey gooey thick chocolate chip cookies and the title definitely lives up to its name. Expect your cookie to be so gooey that it almost gives a raw texture but personally I love undercooked baked goods so I was a fan of the "ooey gooey-ness" of it. I got a chocolate caramel cookie with a hot mocha and it was so good. Definitely share with a friend since it can get overwhelmingly sugary all at once but it was definitely worth each and every bite! read more

I stopped by Seven Grams Cafe for a quick sweet treat. The place itself is small with a few tables. It was definitely packed when I went (around 3pm), so I felt squished sitting at a table. The cafe is decorated simply. Ambiance rate 5/10. I ordered "The PB" cookie. It was a good size cookie. It was nice, warm, gooey, and yummy. However, I barely tasted the peanut butter being it tasted heavily of the dark chocolate. Rate 7.5/10. The staff was ok, and the service was slow. It seemed like they forgot about my order, so I ended up waiting almost 10 minutes for 1 cookie. Service rate 5/10. Overall, I wouldn't come back considering there are other better places for cookies and priced more fairly. read more

Picked up a couple Gluten Free cookies and a couple Classic Chocolate chip. The Gluten Free cookies were decent as I could compare them, but for a Celiac they were a very nice treat. The Gluten Free were a bit dry and crumbly, but texture and flavor was solid. The Classic was a little crispy on the edge and gooey in the middle with ample amount of chocolate.

I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

Getting a fresh loaf used to be my husband's morning tradition, and we've been disappointed for years--until we found Bread Story. The owner, Yann Ledoux, was the executive baker for Eric Kayser USA, and he has kept that legendary tradition alive. The best part? They open early, so you can actually get a warm, fresh-from-the-oven baguette to start your day for $3.50. It has that perfect, shatteringly crisp crust and airy interior that made Kayser the gold standard. It's such a relief to have an authentic French boulangerie back in the neighborhood that focuses on the craft rather than the 'scene.' If you miss the old Kayser loaves, go see Yann early in the morning--it's the real deal.

The quality of the shot was excellent, smooth, bright, and really clean. The bar setup itself is super unique and very minimalist. They are running a really interesting under the counter espresso machine where the main bulk of the equipment is hidden away, leaving just these sleek, minimal group heads rising up from the counter. It was my first time seeing a machine of that style in person, and it looks incredibly sharp. I would absolutely come back here next time I'm in the area.

They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly. I really appreciated that they keep it simple, giving you the choice of onion or no onion, letting the quality of the beef and the perfect sear speak for itself. Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be. If you appreciate the classics done right, this is an absolute must-visit in NYC.

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!
