I do love a local coffee shop, and Telegraphe certainly is that. I also like it when coffee shops have food options, and Telegraphe has quite a few from breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast to salads to lunch. However, the vibes are just off somehow at Telegraphe. It feels like it's trying to be old school without being old school, it's trying to have a perspective, but doesn't really have a perspective, and it is leaning into being local, but then not being a friendly warm place for a coffee. Nothing is bad about this place. The coffee is good, the breakfast sandwiches and avocado toast are totally fine, but I'd rather have a bodega sandwich than what they're serving here. Why? I mean it's just everything tastes fine. There's so little perspective. The breakfast sandwiches have swiss cheese, that's how little perspective they have - they're literally going out of their way to have the most boring cheese. I come here once every 5-6 years, and i'm no more impressed than i was the last time I was here. read more

I love a coffee shop that also has food options. I stopped in to grab a quick breakfast and ended up getting an egg, Swiss cheese and turkey ham on a bagel. It was pretty good. And of course I grabbed a coffee. They offer a variety of coffee drinks. I opted for a cappuccino - it was pleasantly strong. Like most coffee shops, the vibe is cozy. The staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming. read more

Dropped by this spot before heading into the Renegade Craft Fair. I wanted a nice, filling breakfast, and this place did not disappoint. Choose the egg salad sandwich on a toasted everything bagel based on unanimous raving about it in reviews, and it did not disappoint! Bagel was perfect, the avocado and tomato fresh, and the sauce absolutely delicious. Was a bit messy to eat, but it was worth it. Place is pretty small with limited seating, especially during meal hours. The line to order was almost out the door! Luckily, I got a stool by the window. One star off because of the B rating. After leaving, a guy on the street gasped, "omg they have a B!" and kept walking. 10/10 would still return when I'm in the area though. read more

Yelp brought me to this cute cafe right off of 6th and my very hungry and coffee needing self was extremely grateful for the find! They have a bunch of tables, a counter lined with high top chairs and a big enclosed outdoor section. I wanted a place I could kick back and relax for a bit and I definitely found it. The baristas were super kind and never rushed me (even though I took way too long to order - it's a big menu!) The good: lots of seating! Inside and out. lots of folks on their laptop so my guess is the wifi is strong and they don't mind if you linger awhile. great coffee. I got an oat latte and it was hot and strong. Not too long of a wait at all! The meh: Honestly didn't love the egg and cheese sandwich. I got mine on a toasted everything bagel and thought it needed a lot more salt or flavor or something. Definitely a good find, I'd just give a different sandwich or salad a try next time. read more

Solid coffee shop- I ordered an iced vanilla latte and the egg salad avocado sandwich- about $13. There's lots of tables and seating, chill enough to work on things or just relax for a bit. Food and drink came out quickly and he even brought them to my table. Latte- delicious & hit the spot for some espresso without being too sweet or milky. Sandwich- Popular menu item but the multigrain roll I had with it was a little too dry when toasted so I recommend un-toasted. Also was expecting more egg/chopped up egg salad scoop kind of thing. Overall a great spot, I'd definitely go back to try other things. Honorable mention to the handsome and friendly barista with a cute smile. read more

Everyone at Telegraphe has always been very sweet. All of my coworkers come in often as it is down the street from us. You really can't go wrong with anything you order, as everything is delicious. I usually get the croissant breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and prosciutto. It's always perfectly made, toasted & cooked properly. The sandwiches are also very delicious, the caprese being my favorite. I have seen they have a fair amount of pastries and sweet treats. The donut with dulce de leche calls my name everytime but one day I will cave in. The space is also really nice with a small indoor seating area and a cozy outdoor area as well.

We were visiting the Container Store nearby and this was the closest cafe around, a perfect little spot for some coffee after a lot of walking around. Neat little space but looked pretty full on a Sunday afternoon. We took a quick ice double cappuccino with oat milk to-go and the service was quick. Almost all the pastries and croissants on the counter were empty though. I was happy to see stevia and honey as options for sweeteners. But I am not a regular coffee drinker, so couldn't one finish one half of the small cup, the double coffee was a bit strong for me. read more

There are a lot of things about this cafe that I appreciate. I appreciate the free WiFi/charging stations, the fact that it provided a cozy place for me to dodge the rain, the fact that they have both indoor and outdoor seating, and most importantly, the fact that they have a bathroom. That being said, I ordered the hot chocolate and although it looked beautiful and the flavor was decent, it tasted pretty powdery to me and as such, definitely wasn't worth the 4 bucks I paid for it. (On the other hand, I WOULD pay 4 bucks for the rest of the stuff I listed, so. Maybe try one of their coffees?) read more

It's your basic local bar with beer on tap, wine, and cocktails. There's a food menu, I've had the wings before and they were nice and crispy. Weekend Breakfast and Brunch served from 11-4. Best to go during Happy Hour daily from 4-8 for reduced price drinks and beer is only $6. Located in between 33rd and 34th on 2nd Ave. Close to my sons apartment... for some reason, I always find myself here at least once when I'm in town. It's fun, and it's close with a fun vibe.

We were looking for a place not to far from our hotel to have a couple drinks before we met up…read morefriends and we found this place. The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating. We just ordered a few Aperol Spritz and chilled at the bar. The drinks tasted really good. Hard to mess that up but you never know. They had music playing from something in the background which was really good. The bartenders were alway asking if we needed anything so that was good. We didn't order any food but the plates that we saw looked really good. Definitely a place you need to check out if your looking for a cool spot to drink and get some bites to eat. They also have a good happy hour and from the looks of it a nice brunch with bottomless mimosas. Have to come check out this place if your in town or live near the area.

My objective was to find a bar for happy hour in Midtown East. In my rarely treading over to the…read moreeast side these days and wanting to avoid Grand Central I searched a little through google maps what was nearby Murray Bro Hill/Kips Bay area and this spot popped up and I remembered wanting to check out their brunch but never did. It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.

I'm back in NYC on a business trip. Business is business, but my mission today was to satisfy my…read moreJewish deli craving. I live in California, so my pangs were deep for, a real pastrami Rueben. I had choices. But it had to be Sarge's today. It did not disappoint! The pickles were crisp, cold, refreshing, one tart, the other neutral. The cole slaw was simple cabbage & carrots with a slightly sweet dressing. The potato salad was also simple, with a quality creamy mayo. Perfect texture & delicious. A good Rueben is special. This one absolutely was. Tender, succulent, slightly spiced pastrami. Right amount of Swiss & kraut. The Russian dressing was wonderful. Some nice mustard here & there. Every bite was savored. Just me. I dined alone, which was my plot all along. I gladly paid $52.85 on a 20% tip. Clean & straight forward service. No bougie pretentiousness. Pride in craft. I wish this was available in California. This kind of meal is a renewable pleasure. In my top 3 of Jewish style deli/diner food. I'll be back whenever I get the chance.

We had one goal this night: a really good pastrami sandwich. After doing some research, we decided…read moreto give Sarge's a try, and it was exactly what we were looking for! We both ordered the Hudson with pastrami and corned beef. The rye bread was SO good, the meat was thinly sliced, the sauerkraut was on point, and the melted Swiss with that little bit of golden toasting made the whole thing even better. It came with French dressing, which was good, but adding some of the mustard from the table really took it up a notch. Service was excellent, and it wasn't overly crowded, ambiance was an old Eastern Europe style deli, which made for a surprisingly relaxed and enjoyable dinner. Pastrami mission accomplished!

My new favorite café. In a city that offers so many places that are "almost" when it comes to cafés, it is sure nice to have landed on place that knows the real thing. The café's French owner's presence is well notable. From the dark roasted beans as you so often see in Europe, to the freshly made to order sandwiches. For a one who has accidently got out of a taxi, landing on telegraph café, I sure did well. read more

The yogart parfait was all natural containing perfectly arranged fresh fruit, homemade granola, and a drizzle of honey. Absolutely, delicious! The prices are also well appointed. The facility is quaint and clean. The service is excellent. The ambiance is real cool, trendy, with lovely music classics on the playlist. I'm generally hard to please and Telegraph Cafe delivered to my standard and expectation. read more

Quirky, charming interior, comfortable stools, free wifi, good vibe and the best, seriously, the best salad nicoise sandwich I've had at a cafe. For $9 they included fresh anchovies (much nicer than the salty marinated ones) and quite hard to get your hands on. They also had really good coffee. I will definitely return. read more

Love this little place. The food is so good and fresh. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 its the wait time. Most of the time I have to wait 20-25 mins for a quick sandwich. They need more people in the back especially during lunch time. read more
