My first visit to sit inside and order something…read more Yes, definitely visit here for a delicious beverage. And nice various food offerings; It will be worth your time. INDICO COFFEE CO, located on First Ave at the southeast corner of East 59th Street. You can stop here before you do your shopping at Trader Joe's. It's across the street on East 59th St. I HAD ONE OF THE MOST DELIGHTFUL and DELICIOUS CHAI LATTE. I ordered the "regular " size, and I requested almond milk. My regular size chai latte was $5.99, plus an additional charge of $.85, for my requested almond milk. I understand that. Things are up in price pretty much all around. It is May 2026. SBUX used to charge extra for almond milk, but now they don't. Maybe eventually that will happen here. But, either way, this chai latte was made fresh, right before everyone's eyes. They have a very large, professional coffee steaming thing machine-see my photos. Fantastic beverage!! Each beverage is made once you order. The huge shiny professional coffee-steamer machine reminds me of Italy, and places that take their time to make you one of the BEST BEVERAGES EVER!! So, my fellow New Yorkers, don't be in a hurry too much when you order your beverage. IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!! The woman at the front counter was very kind and it made my visit a pleasure. See my photos of the menus. And interior/exterior shots. After I tasted my Yummy CHAI LATTE, and discovered how great it was, I decided to take a chance and order the fresh pastry "CHEESE POCKET". It is round, and apparently calling my name LOL. I had to try it, Partly for educational purposes, as well as sustenance. I asked about the type of cheese inside, silently wondering if it was sweet or savory, and secretly hoping it would be close to the cheese danishes made in the 1960's. So I am not talking about cream cheese, no sir, I'm talking about the yummy sweet cheese that was more in the farmer and cottage cheese family; that's the closest to a description of what I was hoping for. Baby Boomers who grew up in the NYC area may recall. Well, this FRESH PASTRY was delicious. It was like a combination of the type of cheese I was hoping for, along with a tiny, smooth blend of cream cheese. A well mixed, smooth, yummy light cheese on the bottom inside this fresh, round, light-as-air pastry. It was $5.99. AND I TOTALLY ENJOYED IT!! I really like it here. I love the deep, dark, blue velveteen comfortable sofas, as if you are in someone's home. There are also round tables and blue velveteen chairs at the tables. There is self-serve cold water with slices of lemon in a nice size clear container with an open/close spout. Plastic clear cups and napkins nearby. This is a lovely place. It's spacious, too. Please be patient once you place your order. You are not the only one here. The service is NOT slow, it is service aiming to be the best in making your beverage as delicious as can be. Greatness takes time!! People are working hard to provide the best to you. You can see it . Be patient. Be kind to yourself, and allow yourself the luxury of time, okay? Enjoy!! Cool place, and I look forward to trying some of the other beverages and food, too. I see some creative matcha combinations. This is a lovely place. Treasure it and enjoy it.

Ambiance (5/5): plenty of space, welcoming decor, and it's half open for the natural airflow. The…read morespace allows for people to sit and dine or even work on laptops. Service: Little interaction, no wait. Latte (3/5): The coffee did not have a forward flavor, almost diluted in taste. Chocolate chip croissant (1/5): You can't call this a croissant when it has a bread-like consistency... It was so dry that without my coffee I would've started coughing. I had less than half of it before I threw it out. I asked the staff if they baked it in-house and they confirmed yes. It was 9am so expected this to be fresh so I can't imagine how it'd taste by the afternoon...

It's a cozy small coffee shop just conveniently a couple of blocks away from my doctor's office. The service is friendly. My almond croissant was covered in toasted almond slices and powdered sugar adding a touch of sweetness and visual appeal.

The space is small with limited seating available. 10/10 coffee shop recommendation.

I like sweet and flavorful coffee but this iced coffee tasted bitter. The second time around I ordered challah French Toast along with home fries and bacon. I also had a large Tropicana orange juice with my breakfast. My meal cost approximately $20 each time I came here. The pancakes are very good here as well. The service is decent; it's a little awkward ordering your food here since a couple of the workers turn their back while you are ordering. However, they do a great job at memorizing your order and getting it correct. There's plenty of room here to dine in and enjoy your meal. In the front of the establishment, there's an area to order a salad, sandwich, pasta, etc. Definitely a great place to come hungry and leave full & happy.

It's clean, there is a good variety of options and there's plenty of seating. I was going to get a burrito but at the last minute I changed my mind and went for a chicken parmesan sandwich. It was a good choice. I'm not saying it was the best chicken parmesan sandwich I've ever had, but it was really good and I really enjoyed it. My aunt had an egg white wrap. I asked her how it was, and she said it was good. At the end of the day, this really a fast food restaurant, but it's a really good one. The next time I have to be near here. I'll be back. Thank you for a great lunch.

BUT, my husband and I recently took a trip to Paris and I also love pain aux raisins. To our delight, Cafe Bilboquet has those too, so my friend and I each had a small coffee and a pain aux raisins. The pastry was as good as any that my husband and I had in Paris! I've also had lunch here with a couple of other friends in recent months. They have a good variety of pretty authentic French sandwiches and some quiches, eggs, etc. Not inexpensive, but the food is top-notch. You order at the counter, then move up to the cashier, tell them what your order is and pay for it. If you're lucky, as we were around 9:45 this morning, you'll get one of the little round tables where you can sit and chat and relax; in good weather there are some tables outside as well; a lovely boulangerie or patisserie experience!

Upon getting closer to the door, I learned it's part of Le Bilboquet restaurant on the same block. It wasn't too crowded when I visited on a Tuesday mid-afternoon.

They have so many pastries I couldn't decide, so I ordered a pain au chocolat and tea. They serve Harney & Sons teas. This is a lovely spot, and I'll return to try more.

This is a nice small sweet bite for a snack. The banana bread is served warm and stays moist, especially with the generous soak of maple syrup. It has a good amount of spices which give it a comforting flavor. The almond butter is a nice texture with bits of grittiness for the natural grind consistency. I did not taste much coconut in the butter. The strawberries were a nice fresh bite on top of the pieces of toast. WOULD I GO BACK?

If one has ever sat in a French café and ordered breakfast, one has probably encountered the word "tartine" (tar·tine). When talking about le petit déjeuner, it refers to a split baguette with butter and jam. But in France, a tartine can also be an open-faced sandwich on a slice of baguette. Bread is the bedrock of an artsy French tartine.  Situated on the 3rd floor inside the Shops at Columbus Circle, Tartinery Café-Bar is a casual French establishment offering tartines, salads, and pastries, as well as coffee, cocktails, and fresh juices.  I stopped for a Macchiato. The coffee was spectacular, rich, and flavorful. The friendly staff would accommodate just the way one likes it. The service was quick and the price comparable to the area.
