Word for word this is what I told the owner,
“In New York, I only eat at restaurants rated 4.7 stars and above. I was searching for a coffee shop to get some work done this morning and saw that your places was rated 5 stars. I first told my self that it must be a new place with 10 reviews. I was shocked that you have 129 5 star reviews. Today I’ll give you 5 star number 130.”
The positives: My order was great! I started with the steak sandwich and Ginger juice. Bread was delightfully fresh and crispy. Juice was moderately gingery and fruity not too sweet. Exactly what I imagined it to be. After that meal I ordered a cappuccino to enjoy while I worked on my laptop.

Read moreMe and my lovely girlfriend stumbled upon this place by accident while on a walk in the city. We actually wanted to go to the breakfast place down the block but I didn’t check my location, and accidentally ended up ordering sandwiches and coffee from here before we even knew we were at the wrong spot, So now we had to eat there.

It’s a shame we couldn’t sit outside in the little cute table because it was raining....
Read moreIncredible experience at this corner cafe. My wife and I are visiting NYC for the first time and were very impressed by the food and service at this restaurant. Their old location is on the corner of 108th and Central Park West and had great reviews. We walked there and were disappointed to see they were closed but the found their new location around the corner at 107th and Manhattan Ave.
I ordered the Turkish Panini and she ordered a burger and fries. The food was really great. The panini was cheesy and flavorful with perfectly toasted bread. The owner of the restaurant was very pleasant to talk to and even gave us some Sujuk (Turkish sausage) to try while we waited. I strongly recommend this place and I hope they have great success at the...
