Cafe Bee — Restaurant in New York

A lovely, hole-in-the-wall little cafe tucked in the corner of a boba shop with tasty food, including an impressively vast selection of vegan and vegetarian options. There's no seating inside the shop, but the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial Park is just a few blocks away if you're alright with enjoying your food outside! The food was tasty, but a bit heavy and oversaturated with oil for my taste -- I opted for the egg white omelette, which didn't include any cheese (yay for me and my lactose intolerant friends), but did have a boat load of fresh veggies! It was incredibly tasty, and honestly way bigger than I was expecting, but did make me feel pretty greasy afterwards. The potatoes were even more saturated in oil and a bit oversalted, but still delicious. The meal also came with toast, which was just white bread toasted in what smelled like butter, so I didn't end up partaking, but the friend that I had gone to brunch with said that it was oddly chewy (potentially because it had to be wrapped in tin foil immediately after toasting).

She opted for one of their signature avocado toasts, which she adored -- it looks small, but it was incredibly filling, especially since they load on what seems like half or all of an avocado onto a single, frail piece of multigrain toast. The bread definitely couldn't hold up the heft of the avocado and salmon for long, so she ended up just eating her toast with a knife and fork, but it was still delicious nonetheless.

The cashier was really sweet and helpful, but it did take an incredibly long time for us to get our food; even though we were the only ones in the restaurant, we ended up waiting upwards of 25 minutes to get our to-go orders. Thankfully we weren't in too much of a rush, but I would definitely recommend opting for another spot if you're looking for a quick option.

Even so, Cafe Bee has a delightfully cute concept with great options for folks following a plant-based diet, and is definitely still on the top of my NYC breakfast...

I have to say, I’ve fallen in love with this place. I am OBSESSED with their vegan burrito and vegan tofu burger!!! So so so good!!! I try to get here as much as possible. I often find myself thinking about their food and planning my schedule so that I can make it in. Great that they’re in the same location as tea magic too so you can grab a bubble tea on the way out. I’ve come so often that I’ve gotten to know the server, Eddie - wonderful energy and so friendly! Two thumbs up...

Cafe Bee is tucked inside Tea Magic and is mostly a takeout operation. I came here on a Saturday morning in search of a breakfast burrito, which had gotten quite a few shootouts and positive reviews on Google. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. On the plus side, the burrito is large enough to share and the scrambled eggs inside of it are really tasty. On the downside, the chorizo isn't spicy and it comes with way too much of this sour cream like sauce. Overall,...
