I was looking for breakfast place not far from our hotel in Manhattan. I saw in Yelp there was the Cascade Cafe at the corner of the block we were staying in. So the next morning we walked down to the deli at the corner of West 54th and 8th Avenue. Walked right up to the counter and saw examples of what we wanted (like the plastic models of food we see in Japan). We ordered two small Mochas which were freshly steamed and a few minutes later we were enjoying our breakfast. It's a small space but ample for a quick meal - and the food was very good. I had French Toast with bacon - the toast was good and thick, battered just right and sprinkled with powdered sugar - the bacon was not skimpy but appropriately thick and more of a center cut with a good amount of meat (rather than fat and gristle). My wife had two eggs over easy served on avocado toast with lettuce and tomato. A hearty meal to start a day of sightseeing. We came back another day later in the week and shared a croissant breakfast sandwich - the croissant was very fresh and the combo was tasty. read more

Five stars for Cascade Cafe in Midtown. Christmas morning, place was humming staff on point, smiles everywhere, line moved like butter. Got an egg and bacon croissant; crisp on the outside, packed with fluffy scrambled eggs, big strips of bacon $9 and change with coffee. Coffee was strong, smooth, kept me going. Kitchen's open so you see everything flying off the grill. Vibe's warm. Fast, friendly, perfect before a walk through the park. Go, I walked a few more blocks because they have had the same owner forever and serve their community well. read more

Stopped here for a quick coffee last week. Really nice setup and decor. Good looking deli-type fare. Coffee was pretty good and priced fairly. read more

NYC cafes are a dime a dozen, but my preference are the classic cafes that offer traditional American breakfasts, sandwiches, and comfort food. This cafe has never changed ownership, it remains consistent in the good food they offer and a higher level of customer service they deliver. If your like me, looking to fill your belly with good food while getting the best bang for your buck, this is a solid place to get it. Cheers! read more

Love it! Great late night option when need a place to rest and have a snack. Had the empanadas. Yummy!!

Came here for a quick breakfast after running around Central Park. Lots of seating with a big diverse menu, however, food was just ok. I had some Cuban panini and some italiano panini but found both just ok. The italiano's chicken felt quite dry, and the Cuban was a little bland. The best part of the meal might have been the barbecue chips read more

Cascade Cafe - Cuban Panini - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

A nice 24/7 spot near my apartment. If you want a cheesesteak or pastrami sandwich late at night, they're open and will make it for you. The service matches a bodega. They seem more than happy to make a hot sandwich for you at 12:30am, and if they're willing to do that, that's what you want. Are they going to share some niceties with you at the same time, probably not. If you're looking for late night niceties from a sandwich man at a bodega in midtown, maybe you have a different situation you need to fix than a sandwich. I'll keep coming here as long as they're open late at night. Love the access, ease, and price. read more

Ok I've dropped in a few times when I'm under the gun and have to get something fast. Food, Service and value is 4 stars. There are vegan options too. I drop in for breakfast or lunch sometimes and when you need something quick it's a good choice as they are open most hours. It's a small place but fairly clean so give it a try! read more

Cascade has great tasting coffee in small and large sizes. They offer many grab & go snacks, hot breakfast, smoothies, acai bowls, pastries, desserts, and a huge selection of bottled drinks. Service was fast and friendly, and our egg & cheese bagel and veggie wrap came out really quickly. There are about 5 tables with 2 chairs each plus window counter seating. A nice place to stop for a quick breakfast, lunch, or snack on the go. read more

My experience was amazing!!! Affordable food and breakfast was cooked at the moment so it is fresh! The place is very clean and has no smell I'll highly recommend this to anyone, also workers are very friendly! read more

I was waiting for a friend who had already eaten. I had not and we were going to a play shortly. I stopped in at the Cascade Cafe and told her to meet me there. I looked over what was available. They have a salad area, they make fresh sandwiches, paninis are available along with snacks, candy and a wide drink selection. I opted to get an italian panini and a bottled water. It is very clean place, a corner unit and open for 24 hours. There are several tables as well as counter seating along the window for people watching. My food was ready quickly and I opted to sit at one of the tables. The snacks are somewhat overpriced [It is NYC] but the other dining options are on par with the area. It was quick and convenient and I would recommend, especially if you want something quick, hot and don't want a restaurant type meal. read more

Great find when staying down the block at the Hotel Ameritania! It is open 24/7 and has good food at reasonable prices. I was in there at least once a day, whether to grab a quick breakfast, a drink and snacks for the day, or a late night snack to take back to the room. Wonderful local NYC business with a very friendly and efficient staff. And very clean, too! read more

I was trying to recreate my favorite Westchester deli experiences in Manhattan but the service was hostile and subpar. My Turkey sandwich with provolone and Swiss with lettuce, tomatoes and red onions salt and pepper and Chipotle Mayo on a toasted buttered bagel was delicious Usually the sandwich makers are the friendliest staff members but this one was rushed and impatient with me - quite offensive. The lady at the register was short in speech and cold. The wifi was a LinkNYC wifi read more

It's a convenient store type of sandwich shop that's near my apartment. First time visit experience: The front door is kind broken that you need to pull really hard to open. I tried but the door is still locked. Enter from the side entrance is a lot better. Variety of snacks, sandwich, drink to choose from. Snacks are over priced so I don't recommend. Selected of sandwich options to choose from. I recommend chicken sandwich. It's a refreshing meal for a busy day. read more

I got the bacon egg and cheese on a roll. I personally thought it wasn't the best quality bread, tasted a bit stale, and it tasted like any other breakfast sandwich around this area. I would only come back out of the convenience factor in that it's right on 9th Ave in a very good location on the corner. There's ample seating area, but I've only gotten food on the go here. My second or third time to come here. Tip: If you ever order after 11 am on a weekend, they add $1 to your item! Something to be aware of that isn't made very obvious until you pay at checkout. read more

We found this little deli place at the corner near our hotel. They have super quick service and always tasted great. We came here for a quick breakfast which was a traditional egg sandwich and a sausage egg and cheese. Everything was made to order and was ready in less than 5 minutes. Lots of tourists in this area! They do make smoothies, they are not organic but tasted very fresh. If you need a quick bite just stop here! read more

Cascade Cafe is the only decent cafe in this vicinity I was finally able to replenish my sweetness with a bottle of vitamin water at $2.50. Aside from the standard CVS or Duane Reade pharmacies and supermarkets, vitamin water is not an easy find. There are also a good selection of sweets in the cupcake department where my eyes were locked on the chocolate chip and Squiggle cupcakes. Cascade Cafe appeared like there were a recent vanquish of clients as it were not hustle and bustle vibe for a late Sunday afternoon. Armed with a bottle of vitamin water, I was able to somewhat sustain some substance. read more

Service is friendly and efficient. Ordered a vanilla donut and tiramisu for our food and both were great!

best prices in town. excellent food and great service. Very nice local place nothing fancy just good food

Definitely a solid place to get a sandwich or some breakfast. The staff are all nice and it's very clean. I'll be honest, I usually only come here if the line is out the door across the street at Pick A Bagel (and I don't get bagels here because they don't always have veggie cream cheese) but like I said, you can get a nice turkey sandwich for lunch or a tasty bacon egg and cheese on a roll for breakfast. Solid three stars...it's a little pricey so that's why I can't give #4. read more

Delicious food and genuinely kind service. The bagels are legit. I will come back any time I'm in NYC!

Came in here on a rainy day. This place is pretty depressing to be honest with you. I think it got hit hard during the pandemic. There were barely any customers on a busy and main street. I feel bad for places like these, you can tell it's barely hanging on by a thread and can't compete with the mega corporations. It's in a prime location and is probably sustained by stragglers looking for a quick bite or an afternoon pick-me-up. I met a friend here for a quick coffee. Nothing to note much of that. The place is spacious and has ok food options. If you wanna get that old school feel of the 1980/90s diner feel that you see from the movies of those eras, then this is the place for it mostly. read more

Great diner with a stereotypical NY vibe. Giant glass displays are filled with sandwiches, meats, and deserts. I went for breakfast and had the pastrami omelet with home fries and toast. It was really good and only about $8. My fiancé had the lox bagel and said it was the best one she had ever had. The atmosphere was great because of the giant storefront windows allowing us to sit and just watch the morning hustle. We have tried a couple of diners in the Manhattan area and this one definitely rates in the top two on my list. read more

Cascade Cafe - Pastrami omelet with home fries and toast. - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Great place, super location and excellent breakfast!!! The staff couldn't have been more helpful with getting our special order taken care of. I, personally had pancakes, eggs and bacon. I requested my bacon well done and it came that way, which is a rarity in any other city! The food was reasonably priced and came out quickly. Very pleased and a great find! Will definitely be back! Highly recommend! Looks like great sandwiches too, so likely a good lunch, dinner and late night restaurant. They have protein shakes, build your own omelet, build your own pasta. Give this place a try! You won't regret! read more

Like some others have stated, it doesn't look like much from the outside but we decided to stop in for lunch as we were walking up to Central Park. The staff were great and our food came out really quick and I was pleasantly surprised. Wife ordered eggs and sausage and I had the french toast with some bacon. Just wonderful...and very nicely priced! Watched many locals stop in, order their "usual" and have it handed to them in no time at all. I we had discovered this place earlier in our visit, as we would have certainly liked to have enjoyed them again. read more

Cascade Cafe - Absolutely wonderful French Toast! - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Found this little cafe on my way out of the city and it has to be God that led us here. It was quite busy for a Sunday morn, so I knew that it had to be good. The service moves quickly & in a NYish kinda way. I had a hard time choosing from all of the delicious looking options (salads, wraps, paninis, omelettes, smoothies, teas/coffees, etc) So I finally decided on the chicken parm panini. I swear it was even better than I had already salivatedly imagined. There was a very generous amount of chicken, shredded but with the perfect blend of chicken chunks. The sauce, OMG the sauce! I'm gonna assume that it's homemade because it was soooooo delicious. And the mozzarella was melted just right. While the outside was toasted perfectly, it could've stayed in the oven just a little longer to heat up the inside more. But that didn't really take away from the overall experience. I wish I would've gotten one to go because I woke up this morning thinking about that sandwich. It is definitely on my list for my return visit. read more

Solid food, albeit not amazing food. Cascade Cafe is a NYC cafe that features exactly what you might expect out of places of this type - lots of sandwich options, a small selection of breakfast options, and a random assortment of other stuff. Prices are slightly, but not offensively, high. The place is clean and convenient, so no complaints there. Staff here were super nice and quick - meaning that the meal was reasonably and quickly prepared - but didn't really seem to do much other than throw ingredients together. The breakfast sandwiches I've had here range from good (sausage, egg, and bacon) to the mediocre (grilled chicken and egg whites). The bagels here are solid, but not mind blowing. I'd consider this "convenience food" - stuff I grab because I'm hungry, not stuff that I go out of my way to eat. All in all, an okay option. read more

Speaking for myself, I will never step foot inside this establishment. Just went in for a sandwich and the guy behind the counter was working with another customer. The sandwich area has a large selection of toppings for the sandwich. As he was preparing the other customers sandwich he reached inside the topper cabinet with half his body to reach for a topping. His baseball cap fell off his head onto the lettuce, tomatoes and other items. His cap sat right on the food head side down. I mean who knows how much food was contaminated but he simply picked up his hat and set it aside and continued making the sandwich. Nope. Didn't remove anything. How nasty can that get! I stayed a while and watched him just make more sandwiches. Unbelievable!!! Sorry it was that bad! read more

This post is about customer service. The manager / person in charge on 6/11/2020 was incredibly rude, and started yelling at customers when they were just asking a question. He even proceeded to blatantly ignore that customer who was politely asking for help and talked to someone else. Either it's anger issues, racism, unkindness, or all of the above, but I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. It was incredibly disappointing and shocking. read more

I stopped by here this morning with my fiancé and her parents for breakfast. We were walking by and decided to pop in after seeing the deli cases full of food. The inside isn't too big but boy was it cold in there. My fiancé and her mom were both shivering for quite a few minutes until they drank some coffee to get warm. For breakfast I decided to order the egg and cheese sandwich on white and a large coffee while the rest of our group ordered 2 egg white vegetable wraps. The coffee here was pretty miserable tasting which was confirmed by my fiancé. In addition to that, my first cup also had a slow leak out of the bottom so I asked for another. That cup also had a slow leak in the same spot and so I imagine that the whole case might have. Unlike the coffee my sandwich was awesome. The best way for me to describe it is a great grilled cheese sandwich with egg on it. A crispy crunchy exterior with a warm and gooey interior, it was terrific. The others at the table also said that they enjoyed their wraps. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While I would certainly avoid the coffee, the food certainly hit the spot. read more

This was a small little sandwich and baked foods shop. My group and I ordered some deserts. And wow we're they filling. They we're sweet but not like a bag of sugar sweet. It was the right amount to satisfy a craving. I do however don't recommend going with alot of people because the store is a bit small. But a table of 4 is no problem read more
