Expensive coffee place on the upper east side. Cute little vibe inside, but still pricey and actually very little. No more than 3 people can comfortably wait inside. Only one individual was working behind the counter, so things were a little slow. I went at ~1:30/2 on a Monday, and they were running a BOGO pastry deal. Ordered the following: Two medium cappuccinos - I think with almond milk, they came out to ~$8 each. Crazy. Bitter and watery, too Almond pain au chocolat - actually very good. Would recommend. Chocolate chip cookie - good for a not freshly baked cookie. Would order again Apple turnover - great. Not too sweet Regular croissant - would avoid. Tasted like something from Costco read more

such a cute coffee shop in UES on a quiet and charming street. Not for remote work options but great for a quiet book reading place. Loved their coffee. read more

I've gone here a couple of times using Too good to go - awesome they're helping fight food waste. Definitely have to go another time to support this great business. The service is impeccable and both the very friendly and pleasant owner and her son make it such a great experience. Their food is always fresh and quite delicious. And the decor makes the ambience both fun, nostalgic, and very enjoyable. read more

Cafe Bleriot XI - 2 apple turnovers, 1 oatmeal raisin cookie, 1 blueberry muffin and 1 banana nut muffin. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

A Local Gem with Parisian Charm Just moved into the neighborhood and stumbled upon Café Bieriot--what a find. The interior is cozy and inviting, the sidewalk seating always has someone enjoying their coffee, and the vibe is just right. The owner was warm and welcoming, and made me a fantastic latte. I had the croissant, which was warm, flaky, and just the right texture--not too greasy, not too dense. Very well done. Prices are exactly what you'd expect for the area, and the food and drink options make this a perfect neighborhood spot for breakfast or lunch. Definitely looking forward to becoming a regular. read more

The inside of the shop was super hot. We didn't want to stay there and do any work. The quality of the coffee was pretty bad, they didn't give us the drinks we ordered, and the cookie we got was stale. read more

I stopped in for a quick break and tried the carrot cake muffin called "morning glory" for 3 dollars--sweet and tasted just like something homemade. I also had a coffee, which was pretty standard but satisfying. They have a nice range of drink options beyond coffee, including a chai latte, turmeric chai, matcha, and more. Standard city prices about 6-7 do The space is small and cozy, with room for about 10-15 people inside. It's dark and quaint indoors, which might feel charming in the evening, but during the day I found myself wishing for a bit more sunlight. There are a few outdoor tables, so it's a decent option if you're solo and just want a quiet spot. Most of the pastries were sold out by the time I arrived, which I'll take as a good sign--they looked great and probably go fast for a reason. The place has a warm, authentic feel, and you can tell it's run by a passionate small business owner. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Service was amazing! The barista was very kind and openly expressed how happy she was that we popped in. The prices aren't bad, they're pretty typical. However, the drinks tasted terrible. I ordered an iced americano with a little sugar-free vanilla syrup. The taste was just strange, like an odd spoiled sour flavor. I ended up tossing it after forcing myself to drink a bit of it. My friend got the mango matcha and the drink refused to mix at all. I didn't try it so I cannot comment on the flavor, but my friend also ended up tossing about 3/4 of it. Because we were on a schedule, we did have to leave right after getting the drinks. But perhaps if we could've stayed longer, something could've been done to make the drinks taste better. Try your drinks before leaving, just in case! read more

Cafe Bleriot XI - Ice latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The coffee is terrible. I've never had an iced latte that tastes worse than a Dunkin iced coffee. Everything is super overpriced for the amount and quality you're receiving. You're better off spending your money at a chain than here. read more

Large selection of pastries and coffees. Charming small venue. Owner operated and nice staff.

Best quiche I've had, great coffee, great service, cozy atmosphere. Pastries are very good also.

I stumbled across this cafe on a walk home from the gym. And what a pleasant surprise! The woman behind the counter is absolutely wonderful! She is filled with so much joy and can't help to smile while conversating with her. I have gotten their drip coffee a couple of times and it's been really good! So I keep coming back! The atmosphere is very eclectic and very homey! Come by and grab yourself a coffee and a punchcard! read more

Support small business in your neighborhood! This lovely cafe is located on the beautiful UES between the 2nd & the 3rd Avenue. It has been doing business for last five years or so but it's my first time visiting here while waiting on my hair stylist next door, Tokuyama UES on the 83rd street. The freshly baked warm almond croissant with a latte was just perfect for me to start this beautiful Autumn day ! Highly recommend. read more

Wanted to give this local place a try instead of Starbucks or blank street. I had just gotten off a jog and had my AirPods in and wanted a quick coffee. Unfortunately, was not able to complete my order. The barista was extremely rude to me and bullied me about ordering while having my AirPods in. Mind you I did not have any music or the AirPods turned on. I asked her to repeat something in which she assumed I was not listening to her because my AirPods were in. Overall really distasteful will never go back. read more

Great coffee and even nicer people! Would definitely recommend going out of your way to stop by

Staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, but the coffee was mediocre at best. Espresso in the cappuccino wasn't strong enough to taste.

Great little Cafe within walking distance from the MET! Very limited seating option inside with a couple more tables outside. The place is small but very cozy to relax, work, or meet up with a friend! After 5pm, all party items are buy 1 get 1 free, so was a nice treat for our group! The coffee and smoothies were all fresh and hit the spot after a long day walking Central Park and the MET! The service was friendly and very helpful. Enjoy! read more

Wow, if you want a non corporate coffee and the most amazing sweets then Cafe Bleriot is your place to stop. We ordered an iced cappuccino and a hot cappuccino which were perfect. Then we we "had" to order the cannels and went to heaven. The best desert with a coffee you can imagine. Give it a try read more

Let me start by saying the woman who made my beverage was very nice, but the beverages---oh honey no. I'm fairly certain my drink was all milk and sugar. This is no place for the coffee aficionado. I don't consider myself one..but I could not stomach more than 2 sips. As a heads up, the chai tea is made with that synthetic tasting powder people get on Amazon. Lastly, this wouldn't be a big deal--sometimes coffee isn't great; however, if you're paying $9 for a coffee with REGULAR milk...it needs to at least be edible. I expect spending $7 on coffee in the UES and usually it's at least okay--but this was just painful. There was also nowhere to sit--there was two tables, but they were 'reserved' This isn't a fancy place so I don' know what that was about. Would not recommend unless you're looking for a cup of milk. read more

If looks could kill... This coffee shop is no less than a gorgeous art gallery. Moment u step in, it gives u a feel of an entirely different world. It's a family run business by a couple, we met the wife who seems to be super nice and hospitable. They serve great quality coffee and large variety of pastries, croissants and quiches, makes for a good breakfast option at UES. Only problem being the older place is small with limited seating capacity outdoors. Got to be lucky to grab an empty spot. read more

Cafe Bleriot on East 83rd Street was an accidental find. It's highly rated but I am having a hard time writing this review because of uncomfortable vibes coming from and something that was said to me by the employee behind the counter. This particular day I was looking for a light meal to take home for my brunch. The Cafe caught my eye from across the street. I thought I had visited in the past. I saw the fairly extensive menu in the window and figured I surely would find something to eat. The quiche sounded great. When I entered I was amazed at how cute the place was and the decor was old fashioned homelike. I noticed the lighting immediately too. The place is very appealing to your eyes. I was greeted with a unsmiling face that peeped out from behind the counter. "May I help you". I definitely was excited asking how long they had been here and saying I can't believe I haven't seen the cafe before. I was told it's been here a long time. I had already been taking lots of photos and I said I would like to post them on Yelp. It was a good time since I was the only customer there. When we were talking she gave me the business card and appeared to dismiss me like her job was done. I started looking over the pastries and telling her what I wanted to eat. Basically anything with cheese and spinach. She mentioned things that I said I was allergic to and sweet items. She had a ham and cheese croissant that looked good but one Ham and Cheese croissant a week is enough for me. When I was hesitating trying to decide she interrupted with, for lack of a better word, advice about my behavior. She proceeded to tell me what I should or should not be doing when I enter a business. I was so deflated in spirit and felt like I was two years old being chastised by an adult. At that point I agreed with her and found a way to close the conversation and exit. I'm not sure why I'm giving this place three stars. I think it's because I may not have communicated clearly about the menu. Bottom line her out of the blue criticism gave me a lasting uncomfortable feeling about this business. I can't imagine myself returning. read more

If I could have given Café Blériot XI at 226 E 83rd St, NYC zero stars, I would have! Red flag #1.The woman took a very long time to come to from the back of the restaurant. Red flag #2. When she finally came to the front, she said, "what do you want?" Third and final red flag...After picking up my dinner from Café Blériot XI, I arrive home to Bklyn only to find mold on my sandwich. Note, I had pre-ordered my food through an app, otherwise, I would have left the restaurant at red flag #2. Mold on food can indeed be a health hazard. Mold is a type of fungus that grows on various surfaces, including food. It produces spores that can spread and contaminate other parts of the food, making it unsafe to consume. Some molds produce mycotoxins, which are toxic compounds that can cause adverse health effects when ingested. Eating food contaminated with mold or mycotoxins can lead to a range of health issues, including allergic reactions, respiratory problems, gastrointestinal disturbances, and in some cases, more severe conditions. read more

Such a delicious gem on the UES. Can't believe I've never been here! Came with a friend around 6 on a Friday and I was surprised it was open still. Open until 8 pm most nights. Apparently free WiFi too! Had an oat milk chai latte that was delicious. Wish it was in a real mug though since we sat inside. Also got pastries 2 for 1. YUM. Apple turnover. read more

Walked into this shop for the first time today. Found it on Yelp. I'm new to the cold coffee world, always been a hot coffee drinker. I asked for a suggestion as a newbie to the cold coffee world.

Come here for their cold brew! read more

You could easy miss this place - it's carefully tucked away between a few other small businesses on 83rd. Came for caffeine, croissant and a place to work. WiFi was free with purchase and there are two little tables and accessible outlets if needed. Americano and pastry were tasty and reasonably priced. I would have preferred a mug instead of a paper cup as I was sitting down. There is also a full menu with salads, soups and sandwiches that I'll have to try. WiFi connection was perfect. There's literally only seating for no more than four people total. I came midday and was happy to have the place to myself. I found it a little too quiet without any music playing but will definitely return. read more

I would recommend this place out of the service alone. This cute little cafe just down the street from the met is the perfect place to grab a refreshing drink. I decided to stop by one hot afternoon and was standing behind someone raving about their chagachino. I decided to order it and was not disappointed, the lady who was working who's name I've unfortunately forgot was so kind and patient she explained the menu items to me and even gave me recommendations. I went with the chagachino and an almond croissant. It was a nice afternoon pick me up. I would recommend it for sure! read more

Cutest Coffee shop in the UES! I stop in every time I visit from CA, and it's such a lovely experience. The baristas are so sweet and their drinks are on point. I highly recommend the Chaggacino with Oat milk. read more

Maybe I went on an off day The lady was super nice, can't say anything bad about the service but the coffee...missed the right notes. The cafe mocha and latte tasted pretty watery, and the mocha had barely any flavor. The canele was amazing, they get it elsewhere but it was buttery, not too sweet and spongy. Disappointed in the coffee considering the price read more

I am a New Yorker who now lives in Seattle. New York has superior pizza, bagels, public transportation, etc. but one thing I always miss when I am in town is GOOD COFFEE (in Seattle, coffee is life). And this place has it. My iced Americano was everything I've been craving. The place is very cute and the pastries looked great (but I didn't try one). The barista was very pleasant and helpful and was all masked up. read more

Prices are a bit high but their coffee is so smooth and fresh. They roast their own beans which is nice for a small shop in the UES. All of their croissants are also delicious. Ask them to warm them up for you when you order! read more
