Ordering

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.

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.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle of Grand Central Terminal in the lower level is a nice spot with a wide variety of pastries and sandwiches at Tartinery. I was able to pick up these 3 gems. Service was great and friendly and the treats were decent.

Quick and convenient spot in or off the train. Available to grab and go when you need something quick.

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...

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.

Staff member who addressed our table

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

Hayward L.

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.

Avocado smash toast. Mimosa. Latte
Sunshine S.

Great spot to sit down and have a snack before venturing out. Fresh squeezed oj made for a great mimosa. Had avocado smash toast, salmon lox toast, and croque toast. Service was friendly.

We had a large group reservation for 13 people today (Friday) early afternoon around 1 PM. The…read morereservation process was easy and communication was quick and responsive. 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!

After eating some good comfort food, my friends and I wanted a little late-night sweet treat. We…read moresaw this place and thought it looked cute. 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.

Favorite korean shaved ice spot in NYC! Very aesthetically pleasing interior with a lot of seating…read moreboth on the first and second floor, but can get very busy during peak hours. They have a wide variety of uniquely yummy Korean desserts, during my trips here most notably the Korean shaved ice. Very finely fluffy shaven ice which comes in two different sizes depending what flavor you pick (cup vs regular), each with a different topping/sauce combo. The strawberry one includes fresh strawberries and a strawberry jam drizzle that is just the right amount of sweetness--not too sweet. Also tried the ube which had mochi bits at the bottom, w/a deep flavor of ube drizzle that was yummy. This spot is pricey, which comes with the location yes, but do I think it's worth it? Yes. Would I bring friends out of town here? Yes. I've tried many many shaved ice dessert spots, and Seoul Sweets does an incredible job with the flavor combos and getting that perfectly soft, finely shaven, fluffy shaved ice (my preference: generally icy, hard shaved ice is no no imo for me) What I've Ordered Here Before: - Strawberry Shaved Ice - Ube Shaved Ice - Korean Donut Pastry

I was curious what makes ssal cakes different from typical flour. Honestly I was wondering if it…read morewould be chewy like mochi (it's not!). When I went at 7pm on a Thursday, they ran out of some of the ssal cake flavors, but luckily they still had the mugwort flavor which was the one I was aiming for. The plain cream one looks very angelic and attractive with the pale whiteness but for $1.50 more, I'd rather get a flavored version. Also I recall others saying that the plain one is a bit tasteless. The ssal cake ended up being super airy and light, even softer than a chiffon cake imo. It doesn't have oiliness, roughness, or acidity. Likewise, the cream matches the gentleness of the cake. The structure is interesting too, because the top layer of cream is thick, then a thin layer of cake, then a thin layer of cream, and a thick layer of ssal cake. When I eat it, I often get hit with the thick layer of cream on top while wishing there's more cake. Don't get me wrong, I like all components of it. I've had mugwort before but not super familiar with it. For those who've never had it before, mugwort tastes herbally and earthy kind of like the Chinese herb prunella vulgaris (?). The flavor here is strong but not in your face aggressive. I like how they dust the whole top with more mugwort powder which adds to the flavor and provides another layer of texture that's not overly dry (slightly messy tho!) I like how the mugwort is a greyish shade of green which honestly looks so chic and unique compared to other bright and colorful desserts nowadays. You can argue that the color looks dull, but I like it. My only complaints for the ssal cake are: 1) wish it came in a smaller size which would be easier to stomach (literally) and financially, 2) wish the cakes were in perfect squares. They're more rectangular without straight edges and 90 degree corners.
