    Outside (the storefront is for Tea Magic, but Cafe Bee is also in there)
    Asa L.

    Delicious coffee and breakfast burrito! I had mine without avocado. I'm only deducting a star because it was really difficult to find and it took a long time to get my food. I was looking for Cafe Bee and there was nothing on the outside of the store to indicate that this is where it was located. I walked back and forth on this block and checked the address multiple times. It seemed like it had closed and been replaced by a bubble tea shop. Eventually I looked really close at the front window and saw a sign referencing Cafe Bee. When I went in, it still looked mostly like a bubble tea shop except for one lone podium that said Cafe Bee with no one standing behind it. I almost gave up and left, but I asked the person who was running the counter of the bubble tea shop if cafe bee was still open. He called someone out from the back who immediately came and stood behind the podium to take my order. It took 20ish minutes for me to get my food, which, after how long it took me to find the place and order, felt even longer.

    One of my most ordered from places. They really get it right every single time. I just ordered tonight, and got the most delish kale salad and penne vodka. It felt like I cooked it it was so fresh lol. I also have enough food to feed myself for quite a while so the portions are awesome for those who like leftovers! They're quick and the food is always piping hot. Try 'em!!

    Breakfast Burrito, delicious!

    I'm pleasantly surprised by Cafe Bee! I saw them on seamless and thought I'd order. It was last minute and they still prepared my meal. Delivery arrived on time and everything was hot. Delivery guy was not very nice though! Not the restaurants fault. I ordered a large latte with almond milk (typed in special request area and they made it with almond milk!) and a breakfast burrito. The latte was actually delicious. It was made well and had a cocoa flavor profile. Perfect size and packed well. I love that my cup was full! This latte with almond milk was $4.95. Totally worth it! And I'd definitely order it again. The breakfast burrito had a nice presentation upon opening it (amazing for delivery!). Shredded carrots and fresh greens. The burrito itself had eggs, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, cheese, and onion. Delicious!!! I'd definitely recommend it and order it again! It was stuffed with meats and veggies and very filling. It was $13 and totally worth it as well. I'll be ordering from Cafe Bee again! I also love the custom coffee cups and logo. Very cute.

    This restaurant messed up my delivery order. Food came cold, scrambled eggs didn't have cheese in them, and my side of avocado wasn't there. I called the restaurant to have them remake and RE deliver my order and they sent me a slice of cheese and avocado! Who does that?! Smh

    This spot has the best food i had ever tried. It's your moneys worth. Food was amazing. I brought my family and everyone loved it. Highly recommended. Everything is served very well and most importantly delicious.

    Ordered fresh  salad and this is how it was delivered. Old soggy lettuce... Veggies all brown... inedible!
    Faith C.

    Soggy salad! Pasta over cooked and soggy. It's just aggravating when you spend so much money and the food is inedible. All main dishes were over cooked. Not fresh. We order 4 different salads and 4 pasta dishes. The smoothie was good. The sweets were tasty. For the amount of food we had to waste because it was pre-packed with old rotten lettuce. Soggy inedible ingredients, it's a total waste of money. Needless to say we won't be ordering from Cafe Bee again.

    Yummy yummy!!!

    Like this place so much! People are so nice and warm here! It's the first time made me like American food...haha! Honestly, I am not used to sandwich before I tried Cafe Bee. Cold bread, cold milk, cold sandwich are really not my type. Well, cafe bee has free hot soup comes with sandwich! Isn't it just beautiful~~~Both vegan lentil and chicken quinoa are so yummy!!! The chorizo N egg sandwich, avocado toast, smoke turkey sandwich(I changed to toast) taste soooo goooood! Salad is good but I like the sandwich the most! Best place to have some fast and delicious brunch with friends or alone. Cause it has free wifi!!!haha

    3.5 Stars Saw a great deal on Groupon so decided to come here. Small place but the service and food was good enough for repeated visits. TL;DR: Overall (3.5 star): A tiny and unobtrusive venue by UWS that would appeal to the coffee shop freelancers. Great menu, a bit overpriced but overall a place that warrants few visits to try out their interesting menu. FULL REVIEW: Service (1 star): The cashier/waitress was very welcoming and upon arrival greeted us and suggested a table to be seated. However, the service can be slow as she was the only one acting as the waitress and cashier. The typical wait time seems to be around 10-20 mins depending on how busy it gets. We experienced about 8-10 mins from moment we order to when we got out appetizer. Menu (1 star): I really liked their menu. There has been an explosion of coffee shops with more provocative and daring menus. This place has Soba noodle and salmon tartar which are both enticing. Pricing (0.5 star): I suppose to be daring, the prices would have to reflect that. A one person sit in can easily run you over $20. Which isn't to say it's outrageous, Aroma comes to mind, but the prices are expectedly high for such a trendier coffee shop. Presentation/Atmosphere (0.5 star): Neat and subdued with color palettes being whites and grays for their interior decor. The walls had framed canvases of their menu which I guess helps to visualize what you get. It's about 9-10 table setup that functions as a quiet coffee shop with soft contemporary music. I liked their plating, like their restaurant, its very neat and clean but could be a little more expressive. Taste (0.5 star): Unfortunately we were unable to try their more proactive dishes due to our Groupon (only main entrees), so we went with the jumbo shrimp linguini and their burger. Both good but not exceptional. Both came with a "real" salad, meaning it wasn't iceberg lettuce and cucumbers, it was spinach/spring mix. Also tried their lentil soup which was very good. Really enjoyed that. Bill: - Medium macchiato - $4.25 - Lentil soup bowl - $7 - Jumbo shrimp linguini - $16 - Beef burger (with cheese) - $13 Total: ~$40 - $25 (Groupon) = $20 (with gratuity at our own discretion) Enjoy.

    This isn't closed. My work ordered over a dozen sandwiches. Both times we ordered, the sandwiches barely had meat in them- mostly vegetables. The hummus in the hummus wrap was unrecognizable. They also have us curry chicken when we didn't order that. They also didn't label the sandwiches. For spending over $300 we expect more.

    Very helpful staff. Bought the Greek yogurt with granola and fruit and all fresh and good. Espresso was decent. I like how they're mindful to those who use wheelchairs as they have a similar electronic elevator device like the MTA buses have. Clean decor and nice coffee and smoothie menu.

    I first found this place through TikTok, where people were hyping it up in Italy. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.

The menu inside breaks down all of the sandwhiches, you roll up to the deli counter when they say next, spill out your order (add/remove stuff to your order) and you're done. The most overwhelming thing is deciphering the Italian sandwhich menu. I hit up the Italian Hot. Pretty decent! I added sun dried tomatoes...but it would have been just as good without it. Be PREPARED this Sammie has some chili honey liquid /oil sauce they put on it and it's tasty but it's a lot. The staff are friendly - just focused on getting your order and getting it to you so you can enjoy. The wall is pretty interested they have made their own decor out of door panel fixtures.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here after a long day doing booth duty at a summit and was starving from not eating the entire day. Fortunatley the place was pretty quiet since it was 2pm and I got my orders in. For sandwiches, I ended up getting the Favolosa and the Italiana. The favolosa had a delicious artichoke cream and salami that was a banger. The italiana had all your great italian cured meats as well as a truffle cream sauce that made the umami bomb even more umami. So good!

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.

But we ordered one at this location and the person preparing used a squeezer bottle for the Calabrian chili paste/oil and soaked the sandwich. We could barely eat it.

It's a pretty solid lunch spot for during work and this just happened to be a few blocks from my office. I thought this spot would look like a hole-in-the-wall spot, but the space is actually decent with a full dining area. They do have a lunch menu, which is in the last page of the menu. Why they hid it all the way in the back, I have my assumptions and suspicions. I had to get an order of soup dumplings here so I got the Crab Soup Dumplings ($15). The skin is a bit thicker than other spots, but that means the skin ain't going to break on you easily. And do be careful how you bite into it, as the first one I bit into, the soup splattered all over my shirt and pants. Overall tasted great. Soup dumplings was not going to fill me up along, so I got something off of their lunch menu and settled upon Orange Chicken w Brown Rice ($18.50). Chicken was white meat, which is battered and deep fried. It says it was spicy, but it really wasn't. Comes with a vegetable spring roll and a choice of rice, which makes this a pretty decent lunch deal for $20. Menu prices are cash prices. If you pay with a credit card, they will slap a 2% processing fee. Overall, service was pretty decent as well. Would come back again for lunch.

After being in a car and on a flight and in another car all morning, we weren't mad about the standing part. We were all able to share and sample each sandwich, and honestly, we were not disappointed. We were all full and happy when we weren't finished, so what more could we want for a relatively quick NYC meal? Being under the plaza, the restrooms were outside the shop but very close by so we were able to wash hands and such before journeying out into the wild. I would definitely stop back by again on another trip! The guys and I all gave Alidoro's two thumbs up - so 8 thumbs total, if you're counting.
