Bond St Coffee and Goods — Restaurant in New York

Pretty disappointing experience all around.

I ordered breakfast tacos sans bacon and an avocado wrap. I also saw a sign saying "follow us on social media and get a free latte", but when I asked about it, the cashier said they didn't know how to apply the free latte... which made me wonder why they had the sign up to begin with.

After placing my order, I waited for it to be ready.... after about 15 min, a server said someone else took my food so they were going to remake it (he said he called my name, but neither the person I was with nor I heard him say my name). The first attempt at remaking it involved bacon on the breakfast tacos, so they had to remake it again... Another 15 min later and we finally got our food.

If the food had been worth it, I would have more ok with the delay. But they were the sloppiest and blandest breakfast tacos - the taco shells were essentially disintegrating before even touching them. The wrap was also totally uninspired.

The staff was kind, hence two stars.... but I would not...

I had an unfortunate experience at this coffee shop yesterday. Despite the pleasant atmosphere and good coffee, I couldn't help but feel unwelcome during my visit. I suspect that I may have been discriminated against based on my race, as the cashier's behavior was very unwelcoming. I have lived in this neighborhood for over 20 years, and as a Black individual, I've become acutely aware of the presence of subtle racism. Maybe the cashier wasn’t having a great day who knows but I think it’s important to recognize how her behavior may be perceived by locals. I hope the management takes steps to ensure that everyone is treated with respect...

This place is a true hidden gem. I came here on a whim while in the area and stayed for over 2 hours to work outside while I ordered a bunch off their menu. Everything was great but the standout was their honey eggplant sandwich, wow! Fried eggplant that was impossibly thinly sliced yet crispy, broccoli rabe, burrata and spicy honey on a seeded roll, such an amazing combo of flavors/textures. I left with an iced coffee that would be my go to if I lived in the area, the flavor and strength was perfect. I highly recommend making this your spot if you do live local and if you're in the area stop by, you'll...
