Tartinery Café - Bar | Olympic Tower — Restaurant in New York

Our group headed into NYC for our usual Christmas visit and happened upon Tartinery Cafe in Olympic Tower when we were looking for a place to sit after Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral and before the Christmas Show started. What a find! We all had hot chocolate and avocado toast with a pouched egg. The hot chocolate was made and did not come from a "machine", the avocado was not from a package and was very good. We were very happy with our service as well - David could not have been more accommodating, friendly and helpful. We chose table service and he was very attentive and even though it was quite busy, we NEVER felt ignored at all. I suggest Tartinery Cafe at Olympic Tower if you are looking for a quick snack and nice atmosphere. We were very happy and satisfied with our choices and service and would happily go back next time we are in the area! Thank you David for a great experience and great...

Unfortunately, our experience at Tartinery was incredibly disappointing. While the atmosphere and presentation were nice, the service left much to be desired—especially when it came to something as basic as water.

We noticed that other tables were promptly offered tap water upon being seated, but our server never did the same for us. Instead, we were immediately upsold on bottled water without any mention of a free option. When we brought this up with the manager, we were shocked by his response. Rather than apologizing or acknowledging the oversight, he admitted that it was a sales tactic and proceeded to argue with us about it.

It’s baffling and honestly pretty insulting to treat guests this way—especially when the inconsistency is so obvious. A simple glass of water shouldn’t come with fine print or pushy tactics. Sadly, this left a sour taste in our mouths, and we won’t...

As a European that finds it difficult to adjust to the over-processed American breakfast, I cannot recommend Tartinery enough.

Perfect portion sizes, clean, healthy breakfast options with no hidden additives, and it all actually tastes good!

On two separate occasions I had an omelette with a side of avocado, and the side salad that comes with it is actually well seasoned and delicious. The omelette is perfect, no hidden creamer, just good, quality eggs. Their avocado addition is of generous size really good quality, rich flavour. So everything is good quality produce.

The star of the show for breakfast is the Chia Bowl: loved it! Again, healthy, clean, and absolutely delicious.

The atmosphere is calm and quiet, making a perfect place to do some work at, too.
