    Hangover Cure
    David M.

    Cafe Maud is a great all day cafe on the UES offering options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Offering everything from coffee, cocktails, juices, and smoothies. We stopped in for brunch on a Sunday morning and there was a little bit of a line. Luckily it does move pretty efficiently. They have a great indoor, outdoor, and second level seating. Once sat down we were greeted right away and got our drink orders in. We started off with the hangover cure which had pineapple, orange, ginger, and cucumber. It was really refreshing on a hot day. We also got an order of their power bowl and lemon ricotta pancakes. Both really delicious and are excellent options to share. With plenty of options for lunch and dinner this is a great spot to go to again if you are looking for high quality menu items and service.

    Matcha latte
    Austin K.

    Got here at 10am Saturday and we had a reservation. Place looked fairly full at this time although a walk in may have still been accepted. I got a Breakfast burrito, which is really good with eggs still slightly runny complementing the chicken sausage. It comes with smashed potatoes and verde sauce although we asked for hot sauce too which was better (perhaps housemade?). Matcha latte was standard and good.

    Very solid neighborhood option with spacious seating and friendly staff. The happy hour has $7 pizzas which you can add toppings to from 3-6 pm on weekdays. Highly recommend coming during an off hour as it can get packed with long lines during prime brunch and dinner hours. Worth coming by especially if you are on the UES!

    Yup - I've found my new go to spot. And it seems it's a lot of people's spot too because they don't take reservations and there's always a line out the door. This space is beautiful - perfect for the summer with the outdoor seating and second floor balcony area. My favorite cocktail will forever be a margarita, and it is, unfortunately, difficult to find a very good one. This place serves a GOOD margarita. I tried a Hugo Spritz for the first time and that was just refreshing and yummy. All the food we had perfectly hit the spot and those fries... oh my godddd! SO SO good! And the aioli it comes with is to die for. I will be eagerly checking out the LES location because it's less of a commute, but wow I'm just so happy to have found a new go-to.

    Great French inspired/American restaurant that replaced iconic five mile stone. Amazing location to people watch. Usually lines are long but generally worth the wait. Food is great, staff is very accommodating and attentive. Large portion sizes and relatively affordable for a popular spot. We really enjoyed the breakfast burrito. The eggs were fresh and loved the addition of thick cut bacon, with a side of roasted potatoes. The prosciutto pizza was incredible as well, super savory and sweet with the honey. Definitely worth the wait if it's less than 30 mins. Interior is beautiful and cozy.

    -Breakfast Burrito
    Ellie C.

    We had a wonderful weekend brunch here as a party of 3. I was nervous about there not being reservations, but we were seated after about a ten minute wait. Our order was taken quickly and our food came out quickly as well. All of it was beautifully presented and the perfect portion size for a filling but not heavy brunch. I got the chia yogurt bowl and it was a great combination of fruit, granola, chia yogurt, honey, and coconut shavings. All the ingredients were fresh and the flavors were well balanced and delicious. I would definitely come back again to try more of their menu items!

    -Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Yahaira V.

    The chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious and packed with so much flavor. The staff and service were friendly and efficient, and the restaurant itself is absolutely stunning. Definitely a spot worth visiting!

    breakfast burrito
    Rochelle N.

    I came here on a holiday for brunch and waited about 25 min for two people. The line was long but moved quickly. We were seated in the domino room upstairs which was a smaller space with a bar. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a latte. I loved the breakfast burrito. As someone who loves avocado, they put so much in there. And the sauce it came with added a lot of flavor. The potatoes were cooked really well and seasoned perfectly. The salad was also a nice small portion. It was a good meal. The latte was alright, nothing special, probably wouldn't order it again. I would definitely return though for the food.

    Breakfast burrito
    Carly C.

    Great addition to the upper east side. I was able to get a seat for breakfast on a weekend. They have an upstairs and a downstairs but felt like limited seating in the downstairs. My breakfast burrito surprised me with how good it was and was very flavorful. I also tried the pancakes which were tasty. The food is nothing revolutionary but just good breakfast food. I want to try their lunch or dinner food soon. I would for sure go back to cafe maud but not sure I would wait in line for a table.

    Overall, enjoyed the experience no wait time on a Sunday at 3 PM. The waitress could've been more friendly. I enjoyed the fungi pizza and the strawberry spritz was good. The shrimp ceviche, and the other menu items were average wouldn't order again. Would like it if the brunch menu was available after 3 PM.

    Tuna crispy rice
    Amanda W.

    Went to Cafe Maud for brunch and for a weekday it was still busy! Could not get a table inside so we opted for outdoors and with our baby strollers it was a better option with two clunky strollers. Shared the meatball and tuna crispy rice, which were good. And for my main I ordered the short rib fried rice which I would've skipped next time. I barely tasted any short rib, mainly rice. It was a disappointment. Do not get this dish. And the chicken wrap which my friend got, she said there were barely any chicken in it. So both were such a disappointment. The service was ok, our waiter wasn't friendly, he was just there. Overall this is a Instagram hit spot. Food left little to be desired. And definitely overpriced for what it is.

    The Upper East Side's hottest new restaurant is here, and I was glad to finally try it. Cafe Maud is often busy on weekends and weekday nights, with a long line abutting the restaurant. Because I came in the late morning on a workday, there were plenty of seats available. I was seated in the "Domino Room", a sultry bar area with gold walls and burgundy accents. I ordered an item from the brunch menu: a hefty plate of potatoes, scrambled eegs, toast, sausages, and greens. The eggs, which were the standout piece, were silky, yolky, and luxurious. The sausages were flavorful with a crispy exterior. The potatoes were good, although not very well seasoned - it would have benefited from a side of aioli. The toast was airy and crisp but did require butter and toast for flavor, which I had to request because it did not already come with it. I didn't care for the salad, but not because it wasn't tasty - I just don't like salads. Overall, the breakfast plate was great, and I would order it again. I just wished the food came out hotter than it did. Most of the items on my plate, especially the potatoes but except for the eggs, were room temp when they arrived on my table. I also ordered a plate of deep-fried oreos, which were so decadent. They were fresh from the frier: gooey and cakey on the inside, crispy on the outside, intensely sweet. This is definitely a dish to share. Now, let's talk about the star of the show here: THE BREAKFAST BURRITO. I normally wouldn't order that for brunch, but I had a bite of my husband's and felt a pang of food envy. It was SO GOOD. The salsa it came with was to die for. The burrito's interior of meat, eggs, cheese, among other ingredients, all melted together in a saucy delicious bite. I vowed to return here just for THAT. I know that the entirety of the Upper East Side is clamoring to come here, and I can attest that the overall experience - food, ambience, service - made it worth my while. Maybe it'll be worth yours.

    ceasar salad
    Lara G.

    This has been a hot spot ever since it opened up here. We got lucky with a short half hour wait on a Thursday night. A great tip is to give your number to the host and then grab a quick beer at craft & carry down the street. Now for the actual meal. All the food was delicious. We loved the fungi pizza, crispy tuna appetizer, sesame chicken bites and ceasar salad. The one detractor of the meal was how cold the place was due to the door constantly opening and closing.

The crust was very thin, even for a NYC slice, and was alright, being a bit doughy at the top. I found the sauce too sweet for my liking, which almost reminded me of the rather terrible Little Italy chain. There was plenty of cheese, and it had a good pull, even if it looked a bit overcooked on top. I'm presuming the average ratings here and on other sites are because of their location and the fact that a lot of tourists who go here can't tell the difference between Joe's and a dollar slice. Perfectly decent slice on the level, if not worse than many slices in the city, as I disliked the sauce, while the rest was fine.

They sat us upstairs along the balcony overlooking the main dining room, and the decor... honestly, just look at the photo because I don't even know how to describe it The space used to be a church, and it is SO cool inside. Definitely not your average pizza joint. This place is popular -- there were plenty of people eating -- but surprisingly, our wait wasn't long at all. And even with all the bodies in there, it never felt crammed or uncomfortable. We ordered a small pizza and did half Shrimp Fra Diavolo and half Margherita. The Fra Diavolo had a little kick, but nothing crazy -- and this is coming from someone who cannot handle big spice The Margherita had just the right amount of basil and mozzarella, and that crispy crust was exactly what I wanted. Although there was no major cheese pull, it was still perfect. The small was plenty for the two of us and honestly just perfect. We also had a couple cocktails, which were delicious too. I always say NYC food pricing is kind of deceiving. You look at the price and go, "Ummm..." but then the food comes out and you realize they give you A LOT. Definitely felt like we got our money's worth here. Great pizza, really cool atmosphere, and a fun first NYC pizza experience for the husband. Happy Eating, Chass

The wait was worth it though because they know how to do pizza. The crust just crisp enough, the sauce flavorful, and the toppings plentiful. The service was friendly and quick given the number of people there. For my first trip to NYC, I'd make this a traditional stop for future visits.

The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

The white wine sangria was tasty, but I regret to say my partner nor I totally loved the pizza - it was quite greasy, which made it very wet and heavy to eat.

    Returned to one of my favorite pizza eateries and had to share the exact same meal that made me…read morefeel that way. We started with two fabulous drinks: An Espresso Martini and their signature Limoncello Margarita. We shared the Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad and it was fabulous. The bits of bacon, combined with the spiciness of the pepper spices, made this a perfect starter. The entree was also shared and it was the Spicoli 2.0 Pizza. I cannot recommend this pie, enough. You will taste flavors that you've probably never experienced before with a pizza. Also, the different textures of the arugula, creaminess of the cheese, and the perfect crust will make it a memorable selection. For dessert, we shared the Buttermilk Panna Cotta.

RIGHT BY THE DOOR. Do people not realize that putting a bar near a door on a freezing cold night benefits no one? Good thing I did not order alcohol or I would have froze to death. Seriously, none of the pies stood out in grand memory. All I can think of is, well, nothing. Nothing positive anyway. The names of the pies are funny, and the staff is friendly, but besides that, the quality of the food for lack of a better word, dare I say it, sucks. Hoping to salvage the meal, I ordered their Chicken Parmesan. It was the Hail Mary pass that unfortunately did not connect. The cutlets are overcooked and dry, and the red sauce cooked with it has minimal tomato flavor. At least the spaghetti is cooked to a nice al dente and mellow garlic butter flavor, but like the sauce cooked in, it is also minimal. Part of the problem I feel is they are trying to go for a vibe that has a New York and modern feel. It does not work. Stay true to one or the other. Or at least look at other business models. I will use another pizzeria in Bushwick that exemplifies it perfectly. It is a hipster pizzeria in a hipster neighborhood. Through balance, it creates an ambiance both welcoming and warm without losing any of its Bushwick character. It does this by not beating you over the head with hipster vibes, just enough to let you know that you are in Bushwick. The band Franz Ferdinand was playing as I was wrapping up. Rather than take the pizza out, I suggest you throw it out. Overall pizza rating: 1.7/5

    Walking into Bardough will make you want to kill your phone the second you hit the bottom step…read morebecause the ambiance here is dialed in perfectly. The first thing you notice is the main bar wall, with its exposed centuries-old brick that has survived every bit of chaos this city could throw at it. It's subtly backlit from with a warm, amber glow that highlights every single historic groove and imperfection, making the whole room look like it's breathing. I have to say the centerpiece of the entire narrow room is the bar itself, and let me tell you, it is an absolute stunner of a contrast. Instead of the usual dark, sticky tavern wood, they've dropped in a long, continuous slab of pristine, elegantly smooth white stone. It glows under the soft lighting like a block of polished marble. There are no strobe lights and no obnoxious, skull-rattling bass in this joint. Instead, the room is wrapped in a blanket of incredibly chill music that matches the pulse of the room perfectly. It's just loud enough to drown out the noise in your own head, but quiet enough that you don't have to scream over the smooth white counter to be heard. People aren't here to be seen on TikTok; they're here to disappear for an hour or three. You slide into a chair, order a proper Old Fashioned from a bartender who doesn't rush the pour, and watch the ice melt against the amber-lit brick. It's the ultimate underground exhale--a perfect, narrow slice of peace in a city that never shuts up. Cheers!
