    Nice clean cafe, but it was a popular place that got busy. Just needed to kill some time with wifi for the kid, so got a hot tea and sat down. Unfortunately wifi connected, but without internet. Checked with counter and they said it can get that way when too many people. It was indeed a full house at the time, so after nagging from the kid had to move out, lol.

    Solid lunch cafe with ample seating. Delicious rose matcha latte, made by speed-of-light barista. It was really entertaining watching him make 5 drinks at once, or so it seemed. The ambiance is lively/busy, with music playing. Several solo diners but more tables with two people. Breakfast bowl was pretty tasty and filling, I added bacon and chicken sausage. I could've done without the sausage. Service was quick and ingredients are tasty and seem good quality. I would go back to try some other menu items and get a chai or espresso drink.

    This place was honestly amazing. I skipped out during lunch to come here and the food was so filling, and the service was great. The guy behind was actually very handsome!

    Avocado toast with egg over easy
    Maggie B.

    I ordered delivery from here. The avocado toast was pretty small. Not quite enough for a full meal if you're very hungry. Overall, the dish was okay. It was drizzled with honey. Usually I love a sweet and savory combo, but this didn't quite knock it out of the park. The toast was okay, but not super thick. I did appreciate you could add an egg to it for an additional charge and they had several customization options. I also got the breakfast pizza. This was a fun and tasty dish. The pesto, onions, and parmesan cheese offered a nice burst of flavor and the flatbread was soft and buttery.

    Maple Cinnamon Latte

    Unfortunately I will always fold for a cafe that also has a full slate of food options. It's just so great to have a place that can do excellent coffee as well as food. TWO IN ONE. Who cheered. And honestly extra bonus points to Slate for having different flavored drinks that my sugary coffee heart can choose from. EVEN better for me. AND breakfast all day. Love to love it. It was super busy in there at 10am on a Thursday, but I was able to grab a table when someone left. I appreciated how flavorful the breakfast pizza was, and the runny egg on top was just beautiful as an addition on top. My maple cinnamon latte wasn't too sweet despite the description, and the coffee was smooth. It's just such a comfy place. There are a number of tables to sit and do work at, but it definitely fills up easily. Will for sure be back!

    Super cute place that's perfect for a meal and getting work done. It's so hard to find a coffee shop that serves actual food as opposed to just pastries, so this is a big win in my book. There's also wifi. Will definitely come back. Bright atmosphere, relatively spacious, open air window. There's also a couple tables outside. You order at the counter and grab a number, then they bring the food to you!

    One of my flat iron breakfast or lunch staples. The menu has a lot of favorites and they're very nice about edits. The service is always quick even if they're busy. The cafe is cozy but does get crowded so you might wait especially if it's lunch time.

    Rustic Chicken sandwich
    Eugene K.

    A great place for a quick, delicious lunch or breakfast. The menu is extensive. The sandwiches are unique. The wait staff is responsive and polite. I had the Rustic Chicken sandwich with goat cheese, avocado and sun dried tomatoes. (It came on a ciabatta roll. Photo below.) My wife had the burrata sandwich, which she said "was amazing." She also had a latte -- which was perfectly done. My only knock is that there isn't much room for eating in. They have community tables and it was a bit tight. Of course, it was crowded because the food is so good!

    Breakfast bowl
    Cherie C.

    I always have great meals in NYC. This breakfast in a casual cafe might have been my favorite of my recent weekend trip. The breakfast bowl has Farro, kale, egg, choose, and other veggies and herbs. It was hearty, flavorful, and filling. I felt good after eating it. My neighbor's wakes looked great, but one taste of my bowl and I had no regrets. It was a great place to start my day.

    Breakfast pizza

    Food was delicious! Great quick breakfast spot. Clean, friendly staff.... Not too pricey.

    Maria M.

    Great lunch place- Their bowls offer alot of healthy options- Their brunch is pretty decent too- Not alot on menu but its great to grab a quick bite or coffee- Ample space to sit in or out- always busy- Tried their breakfast bowl which was great!

    Joan S.

    I really enjoyed a delicious iced latte! They have some bags of whole beans for purchase. It was quite crowded when I arrived on a Friday evening. Friendly staff and I got my coffee order quickly. There is decent seating here. Highly recommend if you're in the area looking for coffee!

    Good avocado toast and coffee. The addition of honey was nice. Portion size was quite small and I could've literally had 2 more - 1 star less for that.

They have a water dispenser, two locking bathrooms, and plenty of outlets, so I already have a very positive view of Grace Street as a good place to rest. The food is alright.

The regular and matcha have both been good in my experience. I don't like chocolate cake, so I haven't tried that variety. I wish the pumpkin was available in the smaller size too! I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.

I needed a sweet pick-me-up after missing a train home. While the ice cream flavors looked interesting, I opted for a blue coconut iced matcha latte instead.

They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y. I look forward to trying other donuts and sweets from Bear Donut in the future!

Paris Baguette is a neighborhood bakery café, bringing expertly crafted baked and brewed goods to the community. Their bakers, cakers, and baristas serve up handcrafted cakes, freshly baked pastries and breads, delicious Lavazza coffee, and more. One thing that really stood out is their PB Rewards program. It's super easy to join via their app, and you earn 1 point per $1 spent toward free pastries, drinks, cake slices, and more and i even got a free pastry just for signing up. I ordered a chai latte and my free strawberry croissant pastry filled with soft custard cream and strawberries, dusted with powdered sugar. The strawberry croissant had fresh strawberries and cream and it was the perfect breakfast after a run in Central Park. The second visit was to take advantage of their BOGO cake slice deal through the rewards app. It's a fun way to explore their cake selection without paying full price. I ordered the Blueberry chiffon cake slice filled with soft cream, topped with blueberry yogurt soft cream and blueberries and the strawberry soft cream cake slice, a vanilla cake filled with soft cream and fresh strawberries, topped with more berries. Service was friendly and the line moved quickly. Prices are typical for midtown NYC, but all the reward app perks make it more reasonable. I will definitely be back to earn more rewards and try more of their pastries.
