Iced Hibiscus
Ally F.

Aesthetic: Modern, work-friendly coffee shop at 61st and 2nd What to try: Matcha latte with oat milk Service: Excellent Parking: None Rating: 5/5, amazing neighborhood coffee house vibe with delicious drinks and pastries. The matcha latte with oat milk was exceptional, and the hibiscus tea was standard and yummy

Seating

This place is an UES gem because it's reasonable, has plenty of seating, and has that open air cafe feeling without being too upscale. The decaf pistachio iced latte and apricot croissant warmed were a blissful combo on a sunny day, and the barista was very helpful with recommendations. The latte was flavorful but not too sweet, and the croissant was very unique and buttery. Lovely spot to work and people watch with a tasty treat.

The café is super quaint and welcoming to people dining in and people working on their laptops. While I felt like it was homey to allow for people to stay and work, I felt like it took away from people wanting to dine-in to eat. Later find out: they force you to buy coffee per person to stay 90 min and which I think that is a GOOD thing! Perhaps limiting the laptop allowed area to a certain section would also be welcomed. The latte that I got was delicious. Coffee prices were very reasonable. Bathroom in the back using a passcode. There are a wide array of baked treats that I'm looking forward to getting next time! Staff was super nice and courteous!

Happy to have another cafe join the UES neighborhood! Love the gigantic and clean space inside with lots of seating. They have great selection of hot and cold beverages, and both savory and sweet pastries to try. I believe you can also work in the cafe (with purchase?) since I saw people on their laptops. Their prices are pretty standard for drinks and pastries, nothing too crazy.

What a beautiful coffee shop this is. Spacious and plenty of seating indoors and a few small tables right outside. Friendly staff and a welcome addition to the neighborhood I am sure. I had the viennese iced cappuccino it has vanilla in it and whipped cream on top. WOW it is very good. I will definitely come back here to try out some other coffee drinks they have. Their pastries look delicious as well but I did not try any of them. This coffee shop just opened up and not to mention they play great music here. Stop by if you are in the neighborhood.

Pistachio latte
Therese T.

This is one of the best coffees I've had! I like sweeter drinks and the owner recommended a pistachio latte with oat milk and it did not disappoint. The flavor was amazing, not too sweet, not bitter, not artificial tasting, just really good. My friend who typically gets plain lattes also loved it. While I was there I heard a handful of customers say how much they liked the coffee here. Since Friday, I've been wanting to go back, I even almost got two because it was so good! I'll be back soon and can't wait to get this again and try more from this place! The owner was also super friendly and the environment was comfortable and welcoming.

Their pastries are delicious!!!! The service could be better on different days haha. I love…read moreeverything they have. You cannot go wrong with anything at all. Everything is so fresh and just so amazing. I wish they delivered out of state so i could still enjoy their desserts.

This used to be my favorite Italian bakery. I haven't been to this bakery in years like ten years…read moresince I was a teenager. Today I decided to make a special trip to go here to grab a few goodies. I forgot how small the place was and how low the ceilings were. That wasn't an issue though. The place was nice and cakes were stacked neatly. What was surprising to me is that they don't have any cookies laid in the front display. It's all placed in the back almost hidden. I was deeply disappointed with their cookie selection. It was deeply surprising that they don't sell the butter cookies that had jam in the middle and dipped with chocolate on one side with sprinkles. I did ask the clerk and even showed him a pic of what I was looking for and he said they never sold them. They only had the linzer cookies and they didn't look so good. They also did not have the lobster tail. They did have the sfogliatelle which they also called a lobster tail. I thought they were not the same? Some bakeries sell both and they are definitely not the same. I did end up buying one of their sfogliatelle with cream and some rugelachs. The sfogliatelle was good but the rugelachs tasted slightly underbaked. It did taste fresh though unlike many I've had in other bakeries. However, for $28 per pound, I wouldn't get it again. For those not having lobster tail and not having the Italian cookies, I will have to give Veniero's a low rating. I never thought an Italian bakery would not carry staples. Very disappointed. I need to find another Italian bakery now.

Stopped by Daily Provisions to order breakfast on a Wednesday morning. There's seating indoors…read more(with low back stools) and seating out front (about four tables). I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

I ordered doordash so didn't experience the place itself, but I tried the new salmon niçoise salad…read moreand I really enjoyed it. It was a very decent amount of fish and a very hearty bowl because of the other toppings. The anchovy dressing was great to top it off.

What a delightful surprise! After working late and attending an event after work, one of my…read morecoworkers suggested we stop here because they loved their cookies. I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

I ordered ahead of time since there was a bit of a line and the store was on the smaller side. Got…read moremy cookie right away when I came into pick it up. Guys... I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!! I was blown away by the crispy edges and the interior wasn't too soft gooey either. The chocolate and walnuts added to the cookie enhanced the flavor even more! For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!
