a sandwich cut in half
Harry X.

The one NY bagel I had on my most recent trip, and it did not disappoint. I got an everything bagel with lox, scallion cream cheese, tomato, onion, and lettuce and it was absolutely delicious. The bagel itself had the right amount of chew on the outside, a soft interior, and a hint of maltiness. The interior ingredients were fresh, very well-balanced, and paired beautifully. Reading these other reviews, looks like I'll have to try the fried lox sometime...

Trust me, there is salmon in here. Somewhere. I think.

At this tiny tiny storefront (no seating) you can walk in and hand pick the bagel you want from what is available in a few bushel-type baskets before giving it to the staff to dress up. I'm not really sure how the Health Dept allows this. There are three types of salmon to choose from: regular, smoked and spicy (not hot spicy), which was a new experience for me. I ordered spicy salmon with scallion cream cheese - if you're accustomed to getting overloaded bagels that fill you up, what you get here is like an hors d'oeuvre. It's a bit skimpy. However the scallion cream cheese was excellent and the Roma tomatoes were a welcomed departure from the unripe versions seen everywhere. It tastes great. But since it was so small I wish I had ordered extra salmon. And the coffee is good. But in other areas they fall short: having only Lipton tea? That's pathetic. No half-sour pickles, only sour. And instead of biodegradable (wood/bamboo?) stirring sticks they have only plastic knives, which is idiotic. Stirring a beverage and tossing away the knife feels less than single-use. Pretty disappointing. So would I return? Yes, I'll give it a 2nd shot. But I'm going to price the extra salmon and then calculate if it's better to go to nearby competitors who have quite a range of offerings, and I'm not talking about corn flake cereal, which this place seems to specialize in so much they line the walls with it (!).

Family owned and kind to me. Staple if you're in the area... especially since you know the bagel is authentic. Best bagel I ever had.... Even gave me a pastry because I'm pretty

a sandwich wrapped in aluminum foil

$5.50 for a petite sized bagel with cream cheese, could've gone done the road to a deli and got a bacon and egg and cheese for that price. Bagel was good but prices are insane. Would've been nice if it was more than 5 bites, that's over a $1 per bite of bread.

inside the store no place to have seat

This place is a hidden gem. Fried lux bagel is a go-to and a small but fantastic selection of other options. Highly recommend

Please note that I am giving Conwell Hall 5 stars because of the extremely unique location and…read moredecor. It's worth the stars for that. Otherwise, it's another coffee place. :) That being said, the building and the interior are worthy of your time to stop in, especially if you are looking for a coffee and, like me, do not want to go to just another Starbucks or other typical coffee place. It's an old bank and they kept that esthetic, from the lobby and teller stations to the bank vault in the back. The prices here are very similar to other coffee places yet you are getting a completely different and elevated experience. :)

The decor and ambiance here is really worth a stop by. The entrance does say #20 on the revolving…read moredoor even though the address is #6 Hanover street, so you can walk by it the first time without realizing. Even when busy, it is fairly quiet so easy for a coffee chat or there were plenty of people also doing work. Most tables are two-seaters or high tops so pretty narrow. The coffees were ok, particularly for the price. There is an upcharge for every single thing. If you want your drink iced, that's 50 cents more. Add a flavoring, that's $1.50 for each one. For one "sugar and spice" seasonal latte (which just taste like pumpkin spice) and an iced vanilla latte (originally $6.50) the total came to $24 for two iced coffees. It's a nice treat out but not going to be a regular stop for the cost.

My friend told me to meet her at the Bibliotheque, and so I did, not knowing what I am walking into…read more(no googling before hand). Wow, what a beautiful space! When you enter there is a bar you can sit at and two large high top tables next to it. As you walk further in there is a lounge with couches and various sizes tables. The whole space is surrounded by books! Heaven! We ordered a chai, matcha and a ginger cookie. Shout out to the woman taking my order for comping me my drink for my birthday! Everyone from the staff was friendly - I really enjoyed being there. The only thing I would say is someone should come by to check on the tables more often as I had to return other people's abandoned drinks. But you know what first world problems, am I right? Maybe they can have a sign or mention to customers to return their own cups before leaving. I sort of can't imagine why people don't... It is quite popular spot so you need to be very patient and strategic if you want to grab a table, as well as sprinkled with a little bit of luck. We unfortunately got there a little late. I went there at 3pm and hunted for a table and my friend got there by 330pm. By the time we ordered and started drinking our coffees - we were informed the lounge area will be closed at 4pm to prepare for the evening wine bar. Oh right this cafe turns into a wine bar in the evenings! How cool! At 4pm we thankfully grabbed one of the high tables - sharing it with another couple but it was large enough for the 4 of us. The lights dimmed and the atmosphere changed to more intimate. We unfortunately had to leave at 5pm, but I imagined picking up a James Baldwin book, ordering some white wine and enjoying both.... Mmm definitely next time. Maybe sometimes after work - sounds like a great wind down.

Seating is limited, as well as the selection of food and cocktails depending on the time pf day. There were two drink selections when we went, and our sandwich choice was delicious. There are books around to purchase, complete with stacks with rolling ladders. It seemed a nice place to study or read, and several people had laptops out. If I wasn't looking for bookstores in particular, o probably would have passed this by, bit a Starbucks feel with cocktails was perfect after all.

Come to Koré Coffee for their Croffle which is my primary purpose for my visit. Koré Coffee is located at 26A Elizabeth Street, Chinatown, Manhattan, NYC. Customer service is average with patience as I doomed scroll my Yelp app for a photo of my coveted pastry since I was unable to describe in words. Four stars, there are no tea options (hot or cold) available. No comment for the coffee or latte as I did not purchase any. I do not drink coffee in any shape or form. No restroom facilities are located on premise because this business does not meet the NYC bathroom requirements for mandatory facility of having 20 or more seats. Matcha Croffle with strawberries $11.00 (with NYC sales tax $11.98) It was served on a small plate. The Matcha green tea cream was refreshing delight as well as the strawberries. The waffle was good. I always have a predilection for waffles. It was filling as dessert for lunch or morning brunch. I enjoyed mine seated as I did not want the Matcha to spill into the bag or on my lap along with the strawberries dropped for loss. WiFi access is available. Business cards are available which also serve as a loyalty card where the tenth paid purchase enable "buy 10 coffees, get 1 free." I did obtain my sales receipt amid my payment method was by credit/ debit card. https://kor-coffee.wheree.com/menu
