One of the few places in Grand Central with seating, this place offers a nice offering of options on their breakfast menu from sweet and savory to fresh juice and coffee drinks. I got the avocado toast with soft boiled egg. The toast was nice a crispy, the avocado is creamy and well seasoned. The egg was perfectly jammy but completely unseasoned. Service was very attentive and checked in frequently throughout my meal with quick delivery of my food. read more

It's located in the basement food court of the Grand Central station. Seating for customers only, or a take-out/to-go line, separately. Tea was ok, but service a bit spotty - they spent more time talking to themselves and waited on taking our order, serving us, and getting us the check... noisy since it's the train station and also the food court. Smallish tables. The nutella w/banana and the strawberry w/ cream dessert tartines were excellent, a little crisp on the bread but overall tasty treats. The to go pastries looked good. read more

Simply came here for a drink before heading out to LGA via the 7 Train and SBS. Wanted to see how the options were in and around Grand Central as I hadn't explored this in some time. They have a decent number of draft beers and you can grab it for to-go, which is a plus. You can also charge your phone or laptop sitting near the barstool seats away from the bar. That is the plus for someone like me who sometimes has to work on the go. Quick and convenient, can't ask for more. read more

We stopped at Tartinery, a cafe bar on the lower level of Grand Central Terminal. There was a long line for takeaway, so we sat at a table to rest. They have salads, smoothies, pastries, bowls. I had a chia bowl, with bananas and berries. This was a nice portion, and not sweet. My companion had a smashed avocado toast with soft boiled egg. We had a relaxed leisurely lunch before we made our way upstairs and back into the bustle of Grand Central. read more

Tartinery is located in the Grand Central station, with seating available for patrons dining in. On a rainy day in NYC we decided to explore the station and try out the drinks to go. I decided to try the matcha latte. The matcha latte was so bitter and had a fishy aftertaste. This drink was simply hard to finish. At least the drink was made efficiently but could definitely use fresher matcha powder... read more

My family and I had a really uncomfortable experience here that completely ruined what should've been a simple meal. We were seated by a host with no mention of any "5-minute ordering policy." Right after being seated, I stepped away briefly to use the bathroom. My family was waiting for me to return so we could order together. Within under 10 minutes of us being seated and closer to 5 minutes an employee who claimed to be the manager approached our table and began yelling and making a scene at my family, stating that if we didn't order within 5 minutes we had to leave. His tone was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. What made this interaction especially concerning was that: * The restaurant was not busy * There was plenty of open seating * No other tables were approached, rushed, or warned in this manner Despite explaining the situation, the manager did not apologize and continued to be dismissive rather than de-escalate. Because our table was the only group treated this way, the interaction felt targeted and uncomfortable, and it raised real concerns for us about profiling or selective enforcement of rules. Regardless of intent, that perception matters especially when guests are treated differently without explanation. Policies aside, there is no justification for yelling at customers, particularly when the policy was never communicated and the restaurant was not under pressure. We left feeling embarrassed, disrespected, and unwelcome. This was a clear failure in basic customer service and management. read more

Amanda was a pleasant host and was very knowledgeable in her job as well as drinks. She gave a pleasurable experience and has a wonderful and witty sense of humor! I ordered the watermelon cooler which she made perfectly as it wasn't too sweet, which is what she also appreciated and recommended. My partner ordered the cucumber drink which was rather refreshing and packed with cucumber flavor. Which was great because I loved that there was an actual cucumber slice in the drink. It elevated the drink for sure. Wish there was more of selection of spirit options. It was indeed a convenient area to wait for your next scheduled train at metro north. I love the ambiance and the marble counters. read more

Stopped in here for a quick drink. I only had coffee. The place was bustling with activity as it was in the station. The service was ok. My cup had grinds under it when I picked it up which did not encourage me to order anything else. Not sure I would stop in again if I were there, too many other options nearby. read more

I went here for happy hour drinks with two colleagues of mine where the drinks are 50% off. Just know that there's no reservations needed here as it's all first come first serve so it's all just walk-in. It's hh from 4 to 7pm and all day on sat/ sun. It isn't a bar so it didn't have that kind of feel to it. More like a small restaurant/ cafe vibe and they serve lunch and dinner along with alcoholic drinks. I ordered the only non alcoholic drink, Ghia Spritz. It was alright, it had organic botanical spritz, rosemary and orange all combined. But wish they had more options. Overall, it the vibe of the place is good. read more

Great place to sit down and have something to eat, the hostess was very nice and excited about seating me, it's right in the middle of the room so you can see everything it's a little bit on the noisier side. A lot of people traveling.. I ended up having a coffee and an almond croissant , my daughter had a banana nut bread, both pastries were OK. It was just nice to sit down and eat at a table . read more

Came to this place because they have happy hour from 4 - 7 and it is in a super convenient location. That being said, almost nothing else besides the happy hour was good. We got a sandwich, because of the namesake and it was quite small and pretty bland. The charcuterie board was standard, nothing great, but not bad. The service here was SLOW. It took me over 30 minutes to get a beer that I ordered. The servers were apologetic, but that is insane for a draft beer. Overall, good for the location and drinks ONLY. Would only recommend coming if you are in the area and need to take a Grand Central train. Otherwise, would not recommend. read more

Being tired from being a walking tourist all day, a stop in Grand Central was needed to see the station and to find a delight - Tarti ery - friendly staff, genuine and honest. Happy hour a steal ! Didn't try the food but it looked great. Location in the station pretty cool. read more

Overpriced and rude. Not worth it for a tiny open faced sandwich. A complete rip off.

High prices but quality is quite good. Liked their cappuccinos and some of their croissants. Service is hit or miss, it gets super busy so the staff don't seem very attentive at all. read more

I see the poor reviews here, but I had a great meal and drinks here. This place is in Grand Central Station on the dining level, and it was very busy during the weekend. They have a full bar, and make their own custom cocktails, but also have a nice selection of red and white wines, champagne, and beers. The open face tartine sandwiches are great, and their salads are very fresh. I had a great time dining here. read more

Tartinery is my favorite eatery at GCT. Love the variety of food and everything is always delicious. The fig & brie ficelle, sandwiches, salads, juices, and smoothies are the best! The staff are always kind and considerate. Thank you :) read more

THIS PLACE IS DANGEROUS. Avoid their hot liquids, and avoid injury and a trip to the hospital! My elderly father got a first degree burn from the soup. He had to go to the hospital. He has large burns and blisters on his tongue and torso. This place is very hazardous, particularly for vulnerable groups like the elderly. I would sue them but fortunately after a trip to the hospital he is recovering from his injuries. Their food service is appalling. Actually dangerous and injury-inducing. Keep your loved ones safe and away from this place. read more

Usually, I love this place. But, there was a huge line today and I stood in line with my younger kid for 30 minutes (yes I understand that it's a Christmas Day). As it was my turn to order, I ordered a hot chocolate which is what my kid wanted. Only to be told, they no longer have hot chocolate and will be serving. As I told the worker, here's a thought: if you have a long line of 30 minutes or more, how about making a quick sign on a piece of paper and taping it on the menu? Like out of hot chocolate? You just had people waste their 30 minutes for absolutely no reason. And when I smiled and made that suggestion, the worker looked at me as if I did her a disservice. Might want to retrain your workers as well. Huge disappointment. There are tons of similar establishments here in Grand Central to eat and drink with much better attitude and service. read more

$$$$$. We stopped by after a walking tour of the area and sat down for coffee and dessert. There was no table service and we had to go to the counter and order everything. The food was okay, but certainly not worth the prices you would pay at a high end cafe on Rodeo Drive. read more

Very busy bar and food right in the Grand Central Station. The reason for the 2 stars is because our server took forever with our drinks and check. He didn't even ask us for another drink and I felt like he purposely didn't want to help us. We would of ordered more drinks but he never got to us. I did like the food that they served looked great and decent bar with wines, beers on tap, and cocktails. Customer service needs improvement. read more

It is an OK place to recharge and have a snack. Good menu with healthy items which caters to all type of eaters. Service is minimal not overly friendly. Since it is located inside the food court at the Grand Central, you may considering pass on this place because of all the pollutants in the area and lots of less friendly people around. I ordered Avocado toast with egg added to that and side of smoked salmon, they were really tasty, but because of other considerations, I am not coming back. read more

Why TF would a kiosk in GRAND CENTRAL ONLY sell OPEN FACED SANDWICHES? Infuriating. Terrible sandwich. Including celery ribbons you can't eat. Because they still have the outer ribs on them, and they are ribbons 5" long. They do not cut or chew. Ridiculous for a menu item in GC. read more

I don't come to GCT too often but today I was in need of some fuel before school. I saw this place and walked away at first then came back because it was the only place with no line. I walked away the first time cause the vibe was just off. Like their workers didn't want to be there. Understandable. I got a ham & cheese croissant as it was the easiest thing to ask for and a ice coffee. You basically have to make yourself. They overfilled my coffee, made a mess trying to put cream in as they had no dairy free options where anyone could put their dirty hands on, they only had brown sugar or artificial sugar.... My sandwich was cold as ice and the coffee tastes like literal dirt. Absolute hard pass on this place. read more

Tartinery is in the food court of Grand Central Terminal. I've purchased pastries from this location in the past. Today it was appealing for a light brunch/snack. I enjoyed the Ham and Cheese Croissant even though it was dry without any dressing. I could have used mustard. I was so hungry I didn't ask. When I was sitting in the comfortable dining area I noticed that men were drinking beer at the bar at 10am in the morning. I haven't seen that in a long time. One gray beard turned and gave me a smile. I was busy eating and didn't like the way he looked at me. I thought to myself "turn around buddy and drink your beer, nothing for you here!" The homeless are everywhere just as they always have been in this food court. The way this Tartinery has their seating set up it keeps the space private. It's blocked off for their customers to enter. They also keep an eye on it. I really like the atmosphere and cool vibe at their restaurants. I'm going to try the other location on Park Avenue. I'd like to eat where there's a window view. The food is good and the prices reasonable. read more

5 Stars - Wonderful Service, Great Food, Nice Music, and Dog-Friendly! I had an amazing experience at Tartinery Café in Greenwich Village. The atmosphere is welcoming, they play great music, and it's dog-friendly, which was a big plus for me! During my visit, I accidentally spilled my coffee, and the waiter was so kind and quick to clean it up. She even offered me a replacement, which I really appreciated. The whole staff was very friendly and attentive. A special mention to the cashier at the front--she was professional, kind, and added to the overall positive experience. The chicken salad was fresh and delicious. Overall, a great place to enjoy a meal. As a professional artist and graphic designer, I'd love to offer my services if they ever need them.

We stopped by Tartinery for a drink last month after exploring Grand Central Station for a bit. The service was slow, but the wine was fine. We also bought a bag of chips as a snack so we wouldn't be hangry for our dinner later that evening. It isn't fast, so this is not where you want to go for a grab and go right before a train situation. It's for when you have an hour before your train or you're just wandering around Grand Central. Fine, if it's where you can get a seat before your train. read more

On our first visit, after ordering our meal at the counter, we asked if we just seat ourselves at their seating area. The staff member looked at us as if we asked the dumbest question. There's no real service here. You order at the counter and you pick up your own food at the counter. I took a seat while my partner waited for the food. The vaccine checker gave me a hard time about having my 'Doughnut Plant' bag, from a donut store nearby. He allowed me to have it when I told him we were waiting for our food. On our second visit, as we were ordering, we asked if we could bring food from another place since one of us wanted a burger. He said no and that it's against the department of health regulations. I wonder if that's even true. Well, the burger won out. We went to Shake Shack instead. It wasn't busy there at all. I guess they didn't need my $30 order. The food from our first visit was good enough. We just didn't appreciate their inflexibility about not allowing us to dine together. There is communal dining area at this level, but they only have two tables with chairs, the rest are bar stool tables. read more

If this is the grand central location I need to shout out the KINDEST employee. She was pregnant and black and I was having a really bad morning and she made me feel so seen and it's interactions like that that can change your entire day. I stop here for lunch all the time. Food is great, service is great, but goodness this woman was incredible and I will make sure to get her name in the future! read more

Nice place inside the Grand Central food court. You can grab and go or sit in the enclosed section. I sat at the bar and had a quick bite while waiting for my meeting. Good is simple but good. Nice selection of wines. Quick service. But it does get very loud since it's in a good hall. read more

Had a quick breakfast with family at Tartinery in GCS before some events planned for the day. Great food. Great service. Convenient and quick? Great location. Later on in the day I realized I had lost something valuable somewhere in GCS. We visited Tartinery to see if they had had something turned in. The Manager took the time to find and watch with my wife the security footage of our visit to see of I had dropped what i had lost, possibly while eating. We did not find what we were looking for but we are certain we did not leave it or lose it at Tartinery. Thanks to the courtesy and professionalism of the Tartinery Manager, we were able to rule out that part of our journey as to where we lost our valuable item. The entire experience has elevated Tartinery to a must visit now every time we Journey through GCS. Thanks to the staff and especially the Manager. All should stop by and visit. read more

Today I was in the lower ground floor of Grand Central Station looking for lunch. Now there are slim pickings. Having eaten at Tartinery in Soho, I decided to get a sandwich. The ham and cheese ficelle ($7.08) looked fresh even though it seemed quite small. The bread was quite tender and the ham and cheese filling. No butter was spread on the bread and neither was there any mustard. I would have preferred to have some salad greens in between also. As standing to eat around round bar type tables is the new norm now in the station with few chairs I was fortunate to find one and was able to enjoy my lunch nicely. Tartinery also offers croissants, muffins and cookies for commuters with assorted hot and cold drinks. There is also an area attached to this eatery where one can enjoy a meal. read more

Ambience - for Grand Central's food court on a Sunday morning it was actually nice, as it wasn't crowded at 9:30am and not too noisy. The service left a lot to be desired, as our waitress gave us quite the stink eye when we requested a different table in a corner when she tried to seat us extremely close/next to another party. Is it our fault that we just wanted to spread out a bit more? It wasn't like they were busy... The food itself is fantastic, I love a good smoked salmon on good quality toasted bread. The cappuccino was great too! Overall would come again, just wish we had had a more friendly waitress. We kept getting glares/attitude from her whenever we made any kind of request, so it kind of ruined the mood. read more
