Same time, next year (re my 12.9.24 review), in all respects. Special hats off to the chicken and gouda sandwich, and the salmon and brie salad. Folks who work there are ceaselessly friendly and efficient. read more

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

Working thru my list of coffee shops to visit and while in Chelsea I stopped by here during lunch and wow! It was packed! It gave me old school vibes a mix of dinner with modern coffee shop vibes. They have ample seating and folks working out of their table spaces read more

Cute and cozy coffee shop vibes here. I got an iced latte with honey. It was ok nothing special but it did look pretty. Staff was ok a tad rude. If I am in the area and need a caffeine fix I'd maybe stop in but I am not running back here. 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

The duration of the waiting period experienced was considerable, extending for a significant length of time.

Cute cafe with friendly staff and nice selection of food/drinks! Good amount of bar-type seating facing the window and smaller tables. Liked that they had apples with a sign that said they should be washed! I had an iced chai latte with spices (over vanilla) and the smoked salmon avocado toast, which comes added with honey, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes and a small side salad with French dressing. Discount if you pay cash! read more

Very quaint hole-in-the-wall cafe with refreshing drinks & delicious pastries! We came in for a quick sweet treat and thoroughly enjoyed the brownie, which was perfectly fudgy. All their baked treats looked amazing, actually. Service was also friendly & prompt, and the interior was really cozy. Can't think of a better way to escape the heat for a little bit. read more

I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, salmon, onions and capers. I got home to open a bagel with dry, rubbery egg and dry salmon shreds. So disappointing and inedible. read more

Small cozy place. Didn't try any coffees, was just looking for a breakfast sandwich. Good selection of breakfast sandwich options - I had egg and cheese with turkey on a croissant, and it was hot and very tasty. Good service - polite and with a smile. Recommended. read more

Lovely little coffee shop. On the weekends it can be packed especially if there is an event at the Metropolitan Center next door. Be prepared to wait in line. But early in the week it is much less crowded and you can typically find a seat. The coffee is great. They have a nice selection of baked goods and the baristas are very friendly. read more

A very nice coffee shop with free WiFi, I love the chai latte. There's a variety of food and drinks and I want to try all of it! There's seats outside and inside and it's so cozy. I got a 20oz chai latte with soy milk and it was $6.49. Would definitely come back to try the other drinks, it's definitely a cafe you can study and chill at. 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 cafe, love their spiced chai latte. Their lentil soup is very hearty and pretty delicious, and their sandwiches are great. Seems like a splurge but really on par with anything else out there these days. Staff is super friendly and seems like a decent place to get work done if you're lucky to be here off peak. Definitely my go to when I'm in the area. Cozy for sure, and free WiFi is a plus. read more

Popped in to this little cafe today on my way to the wework nearby. I told myself "im gonna just find a cafe nearby and try it" rather than specifically finding one on yelp and going to it. and luckily the odds worked in my favor! I really enjoyed this place! Sweetened matcha was pretty good, not too sweet actually. The bagel was the best though. It wasnt super packed where it was overwhelming, but the proportions were PERFECT. The bagel itself was toasted to perfection. Looks like a great place to work or study too :) read more

Super quant cafe on a local residential block. Plenty of options for breakfast from bagels to croissants to sandwiches. I popped in on a random Monday morning with 2 little ones in tow and we had a great time. I got a Cortado and we also got a ham / cheese croissant, a plain croissant, and a caramel filled donut. All were delicious and high quality. The bagels also looked delicious but I wasn't with adventurous eaters! read more

Chill little coffe shop, looks like your moms and pops cafe. Price's pretty good. I got egg sandwich with turkey, pretty good. Def check this place if you're around and kinda hungry or need beverage. 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

Cute homey Cafe. Stopped by on a random Thursday morning. Staff was super friendly. Many of the tables were filled with people working. Lots of high counter seats as well. The prices were so fair.. many options for breakfast and lunch. I went with the egg Swiss and prosciutto breakfast sandwich and an iced chai latte. $15 total. The chai was delicious and so was the sandwich. Will definitely be returning read more

This place is such a great normal place to have in Chelsea! Coffee, sandwiches, and cookies all are solid and most always the people behind the counter are genuine in a way that I feel so many places lack. That truly makes a difference to me! Reminds me a bit of coffee shops I grew up near. read more

Small but highly recommended cafe in the heart of Chelsea with efficient staff! Terrific pastries and sandwiches as well, and all at very decent prices! They also have sidewalk seating on 18th street. read more

I love their avocado egg salad!! ($6.60). You choose what type of bread and and can get it toasted. Whatever sauce they put in this sandwich is bomb and makes the sandwich have more flavor. Ambiance: Cute little cafe with a sitting area. Service: Friendly and quick. I'll definitely be back for the same sandwich! read more

This is a tucked away gem that I almost want to gatekeep. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for this insane neighborhood. So far I've come for the iced coffee and cookies. Both were great. The ambiance of the space adds something special to the experience. Staff are super efficient and kind. I haven't tried their food- besides the cookies!- it looks and smells great. 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. Couldn't ask for more out of a neighborhood cafe. read more

Like the health violations mentioned here, I would not recommend. A few minutes after I had a soup and I had terrible stomach issues.

Love this place and wow, great prices. For $5 I got a double shot latte, unheard of. There was such a sweet person working too. My sister saw her make a pretty lemonade and asked what it was, then the lady gave her a sample. Great service, even when I came back the next day the staff was super nice. read more

Super fast and their latte was delicious!! I was very satisfied + its super cute on the inside!

Always good. Low-key. Delicious. Easy. Soups and quiches are always a good snack. It can get a little crowded, nice to see outdoor seating.

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

I've been going to this coffee shop since before Covid. The employees are super kind and helpful. My go to is an ice coffee with oat milk - it's the best coffee I've ever had, and it always turns out the same every time. Their pastries are also delicious. The price and value are incredible - I can get a 20oz coffee for less than $5 and they won't charge extra for milk. Fantastic establishment! read more

The food was great. The place is quaint. The lunch rush and people waiting for their food can be annoying as they are waiting right on top of the if you sit at the high top. Overall I would recommend this cafe read more

One of my most favorite coffee shops in the area. The best chai latte and breakfast sandwich in town!

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
