Calyer — Restaurant in New York

Ham & Cheese sandwich was rather underwhelming. Was expecting wayyyy more meat & cheese. But it’s literally the skimpiest portion of ham and 2 sad looking slices of cheese. This sandwich is about as basic as it gets and local delis will LOAD up on the meat & cheese quickly, but apparently not here. I also see what they were trying to do with the fig jam, but I don’t think it quite worked in the sandwich.

The Tinga is okay. However it has a very specific and strong tasting flavor profile (I was trying to identify what spice it was - think maybe cumin) so you’ll either love it or hate it. I’m not a huge fan of whatever spice that is, so it was okay for me, but not something I’d order again. But I can see most people finding it delicious - it’s very rich & flavorful. They did a great job with it. And were very generous with the meat - so not sure why the ham & cheese came out so sad.

The fries were ok. If you’re a super skinny & salty McDonalds-style fries person, you’ll probably just find it average. Not anything to rave about. Walter’s down Dekalb is still the GOAT of fries for me. I do think the House sauce that accompanied it was nice.

All in all, I’m unlikely to order here again. But might do so in a pinch and try something else on the menu. Oh and the cashier is...

“Just wow” was my first reaction upon entering this establishment. Once inside, I was greeted with friendly smiles and a warm environment. The customer experience I received at the counter while ordering was immaculate, the girl in the blue striped sweater was very professional and extremely efficient when taking my order. After a brief wait at my table for my sandwich, I was approached by a man dressed like a chef, he handed me my chicken fry sandwich in a compassionate manner and firmly shook my hand. The most memorable part of that experience was his mesmerizing smile, one that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Sitting at the glass facing table, watching the calm city ambiance as cars passed by, I took a bite into my sandwich, it was fabulous! I can tell it was made with love. As I was leaving, I was struck by a deep sadness, because leaving was something I couldn’t fathom. My swift sadness was then cleared, remembering that I will soon be back for round two. Until next time Calyer cafe, thank you for this...

I have to say how nice the staff was and how smiley they were without being patronizing. There was a chill vibe that I feel is missing on some of the newer spots on Myrtle in CH area. Really love the overall vibe and harmony thats there and from who works there. The barista and cashier who were working on my day were so nice! The reason also I am bothering to make a review is the Katsu sandwhich. It is so good. It would be perfect if they made the milk bread just a bit more fluffier like tradtional milk bread because thier chicken mayo everything else is crazzy good. Curious if they changed management in the last year or so cause the vibe is way better and the food it way more lit. Do wish there was a better spot for people to wait without getting in the way. I usually dont really leave reviews unless i really like a place or really dont love and i really liked it here and want to give them a...
