    After the movie at Lincoln Center, I got hungry and the convenience of not having to walk back 6 blocks (= 12 blocks round trip) in the cold was enticing for me stay at the theater to conveniently have dinner. I opted for the spaghetti bolognese and a nd mixed green salad. Both were such big amounts! But both were satisfying! I could not believe I finished the spaghetti bolognese and had half the salad take home. That is all I ate but was satisfied! The bolognese was a lot of meat sauce - but the meat was finely ground that I wonder if it had other things in it? But I was hungry and I thought it was good. I recommend eating there. Another order was the soup:salad/ sandwich. That too was so big - that half the sandwich was brought home. Overall the service was good, food was not bad, and very conveniently located as well without walking far.

    The salted brown butter and oat latte is absolutely worth the long line outside! Almost impossible to find a spot to sit inside unless you get lucky, but still worth going!

    Autumn Spiced Latte

    Fantastic time here! I ordered the autumn spiced latte and it tasted just like fall in a cup! Although small inside, the cafe is so cozy and inviting. There was a line out the door to order but it went by very fast. I'd like to come back to try some of the other coffees on the menu! I haven't tried the food, which seems to be a reason for the low ratings, but the coffee is definitely worth it.

    Great ambiance, but just okay food. I really wanted to love this place because the setting is lovely--very cozy and perfect for a date or hanging out. However, the food was a bit underwhelming. The green pasta looked better than it tasted (a bit bland), and the pizza was pretty standard. We finished off with the tiramisu, which was fine, but nothing to write home about. If you're in the neighborhood and want a nice environment, it's worth a stop, but keep your expectations in check for the food. Service is good too

    Lowkey some of the best coffee I've had! The brown butter oat latte is 10/10 worth it and the line moves pretty fast! however $7-8 is a bit expensive but so good. Ambiance is so cute and intimate but not a place to sit more of a grab

    Long line but move quickly for take outs. Staffs are friendly and the latte is delicious. Not overly sweet and well balanced taste.

    Iced Caramel Latte

    This was the first stop of my trip and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was quiet and cozy, perfect for planning my day ahead. I enjoyed my iced caramel latte in a window seat, perfect for people watching. My waiter, Robert, suggested the bagel with smoked salmon. I'm glad I took his suggestion, it was the best smoked salmon I've ever had! My belly is full and I'm ready to take on the Empire State Building!

    This is where you wanna go for some lite bites before your show. The menu has just the right amount of variety to get you satisfied before your main event. It's a great choice because it's located right in Lincoln Center. Reservations are encouraged. The three couples in front of us were turned away as we approached the host. It gets pretty crowded in there so we did right making that Rez on Open Table that morning! The entrance to this cafe is located INSIDE the Paradisio Theater. We lost 15 minutes trying to find it. There in 1 gender neutral restroom located outside across from the cafe (also INSIDE the theater entrance). It was okay to use but not the cleanest. We ordered the Mixed Board for 2 and a combo Soup and Sandwich. We chose the Tomato soup which was EXCELLENT and not salty. The sandwich was a meatball parm where we requested just a sprinkle of cheese (yes they do that!) The host was wonderful and astute to assisting the waitstaff who seemed overwhelmed with the influx patrons coming at once for all their shows. All in all a pleasant experience.

    I stopped into Cafe Paradiso near Lincoln Center for a quick lunch and decided to try their half sandwich and soup combo. I went with the turkey, avocado, and Swiss sandwich along with a bowl of tomato soup. The sandwich was... fine. Nothing particularly memorable, just your average deli-style sandwich. What did surprise me though was finding a random piece of prosciutto inside; something not listed on the menu. That could be a real issue for anyone with dietary restrictions or allergies. Luckily, it wasn't a problem for me, but it definitely made me raise an eyebrow. The tomato soup was the bigger letdown. It wasn't very hot, and I honestly couldn't tell if it was meant to taste that way or if they'd just forgotten to heat it enough. It had the consistency and flavor of slightly warmed up ketchup, just bland and disappointing. For around $20+, the meal was not worth it. The service to be fair, was perfectly fine. My waiter Sally was friendly and attentive. But overall, Cafe Paradiso didn't live up to its location or its prices.

    Tasty, pleasant atmosphere, but too expensive. $20 after tax for a half focaccia with prosciutto just seems a bit much to me.

We started with a bottle of the Alsace wine, which perfectly complemented our food and the Parisian vibe. I opted for the omelette with Gruyère which was delicious, although I found myself very full by the end, as it came with two sides. The fries were a must-have -- so crispy, salty & fresh. I'd recommend that at least one person at the table order them, but the portion is pretty generous. :) The service was nice, albeit a bit slow at times. However, the staff was friendly and the overall atmosphere is chill -- we weren't in a rush at all! Sitting at a booth in the back, we had the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy our meal, making for a lovely brunch with friends or family.
