    unassuming outside behind scaffolding across from cute park square
    Courtney S.

    I've lived in NYC for so long and still wouldn't have known about this wonderful cafe if I hadn't been in the neighborhood. Very unassumingly tucked behind scaffolding of beautiful residential Tudor City buildings behind charming spring blooming gardens is this most comforting neighborhood gem. Its small size and casual coffee stop vibe belie the delightfully high quality food that Chef Yassine makes for the lunch crowd. We loved the convivial atmosphere with neighborhood regulars stopping in for a chat with Yassine and their late morning coffee and fresh scone or breakfast sandwich, while we dined at the lone indoor table (due to covid)--there are outdoor tables as well-- on delicious, authentic, homemade Chicken Tagine with succulently tender vegetables and brothy couscous and a very flavorful Shepherd's Pie. Moroccan tagines that I've had in the South of France are a favorite food of mine, and I haven't found many in the city that hit the spot and feel so authentic as Yassine's (Algerian) one. Given that he makes all kinds of other really yummy looking lunchtime sandwiches and soups that during covid you just order from the podium up front, you really wouldn't know (except for the sidewalk sign that attracted us) that there are also elaborate, time consuming entrees that feel both like eating at your favorite neighbor's home in the best way possible and like eating out at a high quality restaurant at the same time. Made with love and all delicious. You wouldn't also know that the place is a purveyor of freshly baked pies like chicken pot pie and freshly baked breads, in addition to the house brand hot sauce that he makes and bottles, which is delicious! The spicier one is our favorite, like a cross between harissa and Korean gochujang chili paste--such flavorful depth with a nice piquant kick. He was so nice to give us samples to take home and try. We came in just looking for coffee because that's all the shop looks like and were so delighted to just keep discovering more and more to love. But in addition to the peaceful location on the square (it felt like an oasis of midtown), the neighborhood local community vibe, and the excellent food quality and variety, there is Yassine's genuine, welcoming, and congenial personality. He treats every customer like a friend (even first timers like us), shows that he really cares about quality and treating people well, and is just a joy to be around. It was such a lovely experience we wanted to move to the neighborhood immediately. We are envious of all the locals that get to frequent the cafe daily (there are so many yummy looking things on the menu it seems like you could really go daily), but we plan to go as often as we can! I love how you can always discover new parts of the city--he's been there for 20 years! Easily walkable from offices/work in midtown east and you can enjoy the calm of the garden during your lunch break. Definitely go now!

    Marcos and Yassine!

    Moroccan Tagine, Yassine's Classic Harissa Hot Sauce
    Monica L.

    YOU GUYS. This place is *chef's kiss*. This small hole-in-the-wall Moroccan spot is tucked into a dead end in Tudor City right by Tudor City Greens and right by *that* overpass on Tudor City Pl and 42nd Ave where all the influencers and Instagrammers of New York take their photos (you know the one). I implore you all to try this place out after indulging in your little photoshoot by the overpass, pick up some food to-go, and enjoy a delicious Moroccan meal in the park. Yassine, the culinary genius and smiling face behind Tudor Cafe, was so friendly and welcoming - he's the type of person who makes you feel like you've known each other forever. When I asked if I could get a tiny bit of the harissa sauce and manager's sauce to go along with my meal, he gave me a whole mini jar of the harissa! He said that jar should last me a solid 2-3 weeks but y'all, this sauce was so good I'm already halfway through the jar and it's only been a couple of hours... As for the food, I've only tried the Moroccan Tagine but it was hearty, reasonably seasoned, and incredibly delicious. The portions are huge so you will definitely have leftovers to enjoy and reminisce over later. Yassine mentioned the spinach pies selling incredibly quickly so you bet I'll be coming back to try that. All in all, 10/10 food, 10/10 service!

    Chicken Moroccan Tagine Chicken and Veggies
    Michael R.

    I recently moved to the neighborhood and finally got around to trying this cafe for lunch. I ordered the Moroccan chicken tagine, which was delicious. The chicken was succulent, and the couscous was flavorful. The vegetables was soft enough to easily cut with a fork. The portion was more than I could eat for a weekday lunch. Come hungry.

    Harira Soup

    I cant't say enough about this place. The most delicious home made food and the homiest place I have ever been to in Manhattan. I live in the neighborhood and walked by and didn't think anything of the place until trying one of the dishes -- and have been addicted ever since. The owner and his partner put their entire soul into preparing the meals and make you feel so warm and welcome. Frequently, they would see me rushing to the hospital to work and would stop me to give me the chickpea salad to take to work places like this make NYC truly unique. Tudor cafe makes me feel more at home every day and I am so grateful this gem. Yum!

    Items ordered
    Shih-Yin L.

    Missing the main item. I ordered a breakfast egg wrap, a croissant and a coffee but I didn't receive the breakfast egg wrap. It puzzles me how they could miss the main item from this order. Would anyone pay over 18 dollars to only receive 5.5 dollars worth of the food items ordered? Also, they have forgot to put the avocado that I paid extra for in the egg wrap for several times already, and this time, the whole wrap is missing. Very Disappointed.

    Halloumi sandwich
    Neelam P.

    The 3.5 stars is mostly for the excellent customer service. I went in for the grilled halloumi sandwich and didn't realize that they gave me a chicken sandwich until I got back to work. I called them and they sent someone over to my office with the correct sandwich, a cookie, and an apology. I thought that was great customer service. My halloumi sandwich wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't the best that I've had. So far, The Picnic Basket on 50th makes my favorite version! They have tons of sandwich options, so you'll probably find something that you'll like. As another reviewer mentioned, I wish they didn't use a microwave...oh well.

    Not sure what soup this is, but it was so good. It had chicken and something else that I'm not entirely sure of. It was also a little spicy!
    Eugenia Y.

    I have been meaning to try this place ever since I found it on Yelp, since it's close to the UN and has high reviews. I found myself walking in yesterday and feeling very underwhelmed. However, I decided to give it a chance. I wanted to order the 1/2 soup, 1/2 sandwich because I wanted both. However, they are no longer offering that. Instead, I ordered both a soup and a sandwich. I got the soup of the day and the spicy sandwich. They were amazing. Both were tasty and full of flavour, and I have no regrets. I spent $13.40 in total--it was a lunch that was pretty cheap for New York, and I even had some of my leftovers for dinner! This is a place where I will definitely go back to visit. I'm torn because I'd like to try all the other items on the menu, but the spicy sandwich was so good that I'm craving it right now. A fair warning though: there is a $10 minimum on using cards, so just be aware of that when you go.

    Amazing smoked salmon sandwich!!!

I opted for the omelette with Gruyère which was delicious, although I found myself very full by the end, as it came with two sides. The fries were a must-have -- so crispy, salty & fresh. I'd recommend that at least one person at the table order them, but the portion is pretty generous. :) The service was nice, albeit a bit slow at times. However, the staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere is chill -- we weren't in a rush at all!

I thought they'd be more like the asian bakeries we have back in SF. Not as sweet as american desserts, but it was kinda in between. The egg sandwich I really wanted to like since I've been craving one. But the it was sooo dry. Definitely needed more mayo. And the bread wasn't very fluffy either. Cute spot if you want cute desserts. Tho I think they are more geared towards posting on socials. REVIEW #3999
