This is a decent neighborhood breakfast spot. As long as you let them know how you take your coffee/eggs/sandwich, they are very accommodating. If you are unclear, you may not be asked how you want things. However, as is a downfall to many breakfast places, they do stop serving breakfast at 11.00 (or before). The lunch sandwiches are pretty acceptable as well if you are in the area and looking for some standard fare. read more

Wow, talk about a place you can truly get everything. Mexican, Italian, American, you name it, all in this little place. And there is ample seating upstairs. So you know ahead of time, it's an order-in-line-and-wait-there type of place and then you take your food upstairs. No wait staff. The food was all decent though and I'd definitely come back. read more

Fast friendly and efficient This is my lunch spot because I work across the street I absolutely love: the roast pork w mashed potatoes, the salted cod (bacalao) w their tomato sauce, and quesadillas..... Sometimes they have side dishes like mangu, and maduros.... These r the dishes I always get when I go to cafe 37 they have other dishes like roasted chicken, tacos, pasta, your typical deli tossed salad, sandwiches...but I opt out of those...I love what i listed above...it.s like a grandma made it w love...it.s so flavorful. It is very very hearty...so I warn you....u will get sleepy and NYC doesn't really have ciestas.... read more

The nachos are phenomenal!! My co-worker is hooked on the nachos as well! If you want fresh, delicious, filling nachos, get them here. Best in the city! Sorry no other place compares, and I've spent a lot of money on nachos from other places, they don't even come close to cafe 37. Keep it up guys! read more

Great lunch spot. They have everything. The menu is actually almost overwhelming because of all the options. And so far I've tried their traditional sandwiches and their Mexican spread and I was highly impressed with both. Reasonable prices, and the staff is so friendly and attentive there. Get the lunch rush moving as quickly as possible but don't rush you when you're trying to order, which is nice. Definitely will keep coming here and try more options to see if it lives up to the rest! read more

This place has great service, friendly workers, and bomb music! Delicious and cheap bagels, with even better breakfast sandwiches. Will be back. read more

Worse service ever especially the girl who works the register is a absolute idiot and has no customer service ettiqute. She is rude and nasty. I also found a cockroach in my salad and they refused to give me my money back !!!!!! I read more

Great Deli! I always go here for the salads or hot lunches. Its a fairly new deli and their upstairs seating area isnt even done yet. But the price is right and the food is great. read more

After Blacksmith Deli across the street closed down, I randomly tried this place. So far every sandwich I've eaten from here was great, filling, and didn't leave me feeling bloated like Blacksmith's crap used to. Quick, never crowded, and has a great selection; definitely a great alternative from Picnic Basket's overcrowded and slow orders. This is now my top sandwich place while I'm at work and I love it. read more

Cafe 37 is where I frequently go at lunchtime to forget how much I hate my job. It's more expensive than your cramped corner deli that may or may not have passed it's health inspection, but definitely priced better than it's brand name siblings on every other block that serve the exact same food. If it's a hot dish, soup, a make-your-own salad, or a variety of hot and cold sandwiches you want, then you can't do better than here for $5 to $7 (excluding fancy waters and high vitamin drinks or soda). An added bonus is the upstairs seating area that looks more like an airy dance studio with a decent second-story view of the stop and go traffic on 37th Street. read more

Excellent food, lots of elbow room upstairs. V. Good prices. Beef burrito delish, yummy mixed salad, good chicken soup (w/potatoes ). Brought my 3 kids here for lunch. We recharged our batteries away from the bustle. We will return. read more

a decent place to grab some breakfast and or lunch on 37th st between 6th and 5th ave . you can get salads , sandwiches , hot dishes and some mexican food on a daily basis . for breakfast you have the full array of choices from eggs , pancakes , bagels , muffins , cereal , etc . i usually get egg whites on a bagel for morning and lunch time i usually go for the hot stuff which includes baked chicken , pepper steak , pork , fish and about 3 different type of soups . prices are decent for the manhattan area and when you order the hot food it includes your pick of rice and beans , mixed veggies , pasta, mash potatoes as the side dish and even a can of soda or bottle is included for under 10 bucks . some seating on the right area by the wall which is at max during lunch time . not a bad place to grab a bite , some coffee or a smoothie as well . read more

The line can get pretty long in the morning or during lunch but their grilled chicken with honey mustard, romaine lettuce, sun dried tomatoes, and avocado in a wheat wrap is amazing. read more

great ny deli pork, pernil, etc etc authentic best lunch in neighborhood and priced appropriately read more

Horrible! Got the eggplant Parmesan. looked dry so I requested marinara sauce on it. They tried to tell me this orange sauce was marinara. I said no it's not. I want red pizza sauce/marinara sauce. Tried to argue with me that the sauce was marinara sauce and pizza sauce is different and no they don't have red sauce. $11.87 for two pieces no sides with this nasty sauce. Will never go back. Wasted my money. Had to go to chick fill A on corner to get 2nd lunch. And there's only AC when you first walk in the door. Don't go here. HORRIBLE read more

Wonderful food and a great price! they really fill your plate and the service is great! Debit is a min $10 so bring cash.

I came here because the line for chick-fil-a was TOOOOOO long and I didn't want to wait. I ordered the fried chicken fingers platter with yellow rice and mashed potato. The chicken was soggy and not crispy at all. It was also kind of dry (it definitely would be better if they fry it again so it will be hot and crispy). The yellow rice was alright but it had too much pepper on it. As for the beef stew, it was alright too. read more

Only had lentil soup but it was really good. The atmosphere feels like a cafeteria but it's still a nice little place to grab a bite

I used to go here almost 4 times a week out of convenience (breakfast/lunch time) but that changed about 4 months ago. I ordered an omelette and they gave it to me with cheese. The lady at the register charged me for the cheese I did not even order, fine, I didn't even notice. Walked back to the office and noticed the cheese. Went back to show them, and their solution? Scoop out the cheese and basically half the omelette and hand it back to me. Their service was already mediocre and that day I decided to never go back. Usually go to blacksmith across the street now, sure they don't know my order like cafe 37 used to but at least their cashier/service isn't rude. read more

Great food. Great Service. They make the effort to remember your previous orders and how you like certain foods prepared.

Was just in NYC for the Big East Tournament. Found this place near the hotel. Used them for breakfast every day. Really good bagel sandwiches. Great prices for NYC. The guys behind the counter are friendly and quick. They do a pretty heavy business but move you out speedily. I highly recommend them read more

good, inexpensive food, especially if you're seeking homemade latin cuisine in the area. oxtail stew is a winner for sure! the employees are so cheerful, especially the lovely man who makes your salad "on demand." read more

The food is complete crap. The only nice thing about the place is it is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I had chicken lomain and I have never had worse the food was all mush and bland like it had been sitting for a bit. The place also does false advertising saying they serve pizza but when I went in the guy said no. avoid this place if you value your money and luch hour. read more

Good food. Variety of choices and cheap too. Good spanish food. I like making my own salad since i can put what i want in it.

Great place to stop for a quick bite - breakfast or lunch. Very casual. Has only a few tables. Great food. Great prices. Good customer service. Has lots of choices from salads to burgers to Mexican choices. read more

A lifesaver in this little old neighborhood. The sancocho is perfect; guacamole deeply satisfying; grilled chicken anything a hit in this office. The staff is bubbly and sweet. Great service. They rock! read more

THIS CAFE IS A COMPLETE RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a regular @ this Cafe and tried to ignore the constant changing of prices.. Here are a few examples of my unfortuante experiences, I purchased an order of crispy chicken cutlet (nothing more) I was charged $2.75, I went the following day to order the SAME EXACT ORDER and they charged me $4.75!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (this is just 1 incident) and then they never have a valid explanation it's always like "it's the time of the day, someone charged you incorrectly"!!!!!!!! It was convenient for me because it is located directly across from my ofiice, but I'd rather walk several blocks in the cold to get treated fairly!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am spreading the word around my office because many go there and hopefully everyone will stop!!!!!!!! read more

This place is horrible. First of all they charged me 2 dollars extra for a slice of old tomato and cheese, on a $6 sandwich. I've never saw a place charging you a dollar for a slice of tomato. When I confronted the cashier, she looked me like I was crazy. Some people... it's not even the money, it's the principle of it. When I had the samdwhich, the meat tasted old and dry. The vegetables were just gross and I just threw it out. I just wanted to try a new place and really regretted going here to experiment. Save you money and goto a deli down the block or just goto chick fil a.... read more

ordered a vegetable juice to be freshly made but they gave me fruit punch with pulp! waste of money! did they really think i wasn't going to notice!? I was so annoyed I made a yelp just to post this read more
