I would say this is the perfect place for a rushed experience. Can't expect much due to the area? I wouldn't want that to be excused. The upside of everything was the available seating and decent space. However as for the food? They got my order wrong.. TWICE. The second time I did not bother to ask for a redo due to the weird experience the first time around.

Still 5 stars This is part of my morning routine and my second time here today It's local and authentic The staff is very engaging and fast They take care of the local crowd every morning and seem to have it down to a science It's hotter in there than normal so I like to get it to go A large black coffee if $2.50 I'll be back soon

bacon, egg, cheese, and potato bagel
Savanah B.

I had passed this place a few times (it is right next to my hotel) so I stopped in to try it out. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese bagel with a side of potatoes. The employee went right to work on the grill but there was some miscommunication where he put my potatoes on my bagel and let me tell you...I was not mad at all!! it was sooo delicious and the staff didn't even question my (accidental) modification. I am so glad that I decided to stop into this hole in the wall because this is some of the best breakfast I've ever had. The sandwich was $7.00 while a large vanilla coffee was $3.50.

This cafe has amazing food and the cooks are very pleasant with customers. They make everything for breakfast and lunch only and I would trust everything they make from tacos to pollo guisado. My typical order is veggie omelet, roasted chicken w/yellow rice and steamed veggies, or BLT as pictured. They strictly only accept cards for orders $10 or over FYI. They do have limited tabled seating. I highly recommend this cafe!

I was looking for a an easy and inexpensive breakfast that was made to order. This place hit the spot! They are very friendly and are super efficient. I ordered a veggie omelet with a side of turkey bacon. Every omelet comes with a side of potatoes and two pieces of buttered toast, all for less than $8! The veggie omelet was very good and cooked perfectly. The coffee was also fresh made and very tasty. Definitely will be coming back here again for other meals based on such great reviews of lunches, etc.

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

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

This is a cozy place for italian sandwiches. Expect a crowd during lunch time and seats fill out…read morequickly. They have an extensive menu so be ready for some tough choices. We got the limonata and mandarino to drink and the la toscana and la paradiso for our sandwiches. They are massive so prepare for leftovers. La Toscana- The foccacia is soft and fluffy. You get savory salame toacano, pecorino, and truffle honey that ties the flavors together. La Laradiso- The mortadella is tasty and given in generous amounts. The stracciatella, pistachio cream, and pistachio bits add a depth of flavor and texture. Limonata and Mandarino- This was sweet, fruity, and refreshing. Hits the spot after walking around all morning. Love the vintagr can designs! Great experience overall!

Someone order a Hot Italian? Here I am…read more The legendary Florentine sandwich shop achieved global fame by earning some of the highest praise in food journalism for its massive, fresh-baked schiacciata sandwiches. Google their name and "best" and get hundreds of hits, but the majors who crowned them "best sandwich" title include Saveur Magazine, the big one touted by the family; Eater NY, ranking La Paradiso the most elite Italian sandwich outside of Italy; Las Vegas Weekly, who crowned them "Home of the world's best sandwiches"; TripAdvisor, for whom the Italian original is the most reviewed eatery with a near perfect rating; and The Infatuation NYC guides who promise the execution of the crispy, airy schiacciata bread completely justifies the hype. All 17 options looked amazing, so I spoke to a regular in line, telling her I couldn't decide between "La Paradiso", the most praised (even though she informed me "mortadella is just bolonie" or the Hot Italian, which was more my style. So, I did what any gluttonous American would do and I got both. And a Diet Coke, of course. La Paradiso has thinly sliced bolonie for a savory base, with creamy shredded stacciatella cheese, with sweet but earthy pistachio cream, and a sprinkle of toasted pistachio for texture (that I didn't detect). It was good, but I will likely fuggedaboutit. The Hot Italian had thin, lean turkey, spicy and smoky spreadable Calabrian pork sausage, a balancing provolone, calabrian chili honey, and peppery arugula (that they claim adds crunch that I didn't detect). Were they life-changing? No. But I rank Paradiso a 8.8 and Hot Italian a 10. And because everyone is hard-working and everything is so freshly prepared and cut, it's a class act. They should seriously make a sign that says, "Can't decide? Get two!" and then give me free sandwiches on my yearly trips for the idea.

Last day in New York back the end of March, found us looking for a place to get warm and grab some…read morefood while doing our last exploring dash through Times Square. We ducked here to grab some nourishment before I became to hangry. Ordering takes place at the counter then grab a table. I had a 1/2 bowl of their "famous chicken soup" and 1/2 pastrami sandwich. Had good flavor and was enough to warm me up on this brisk morning. My niece did a bagel, and after trying all week she finally got one exactly how she wanted it made. We ate and chilled for a bit, no plans for the day other than making it to the airport to go home. Was able to people watch and catch up without feeling rushed to leave. Saw locals come through, so you know it is a place worth stopping. The staff were nice and even apologized for not being able to give me the soup I wanted in a half order. Though things can often get overlooked and passed by in the hustle and bustle of the city...stop in and relax while you grab a bite to eat.

Date of visit: April 14, 2026…read more Our friend wanted to go to a real New York deli during her first trip to the city and this is the one in the vicinity of Times Square and our evening show that was the highest rated according to my fellow Yelpers, but I am not quite sure why based on our experience. Things did start out great, with Boudjema being very friendly and helpful as we placed our order. And once we got seated, we were able to fully appreciate the vibe, both in the primarily 70s playlist, but also the mirror and brass touches across the restaurant. Food-wise, however, there were some definite opportunities. My Roasted Turkey sandwich did come on quite possibly the best rye bread I have ever had, warm and flavorful. But while the gravy was also good, the turkey was cold. This odd temperature mismatch made it hard to appreciate the generous portion of meat on the sandwich. We also ordered some tater tots and those were quite good. While it definitely could have been worse--and I've had worse in New York City--this also could have been so much better.
