As you all can imagine, this place became popular because of social media. I decided to check out last Sunday because I live in the neighborhood and thought there would not be too many people because the weather was not good. I was definitely wrong. I went there in the afternoon around 4pm, there were approximately 40 or 50 plus people ahead of me. I waited for about 35 mins and got in. As I had a lot of time looking at the menu and other customers' pictures posted online, I picked the white chocolate with brûlée. The presentation was absolutely cute but the drink itself is on the sweet side. It costs about 15 bucks, which is kinda overpriced in my opinion. The cashier was pretty nice, I asked him to recommend between the two options I was thinking about, he explained the ingredients in each patiently. I saw other customers lining up for an hour, that was totally not worth it though. I have to admit I would not have lined up had I not lived in the neighborhood. I mean, this is New York, you have better things to do than following the instagram hypes read more

I went around 6 and waited about 10-15 minutes. The hot chocolate itself was good but I wouldn't say it was definitely worth the price. Definitely paying for the novelty of the marshmallow fluff, which wasn't bad, but kinda hard to consume with the hot chocolate. The cookies and cream version wasn't super Oreo flavored. If I went again, I would most likely just get the normal s'mores version. It's worth trying if there isn't too long of a wait. read more

This $10 hot chocolate was quite good! This review is for the dairy free version which is made with almond milk. When compared to the regular hot chocolate, this one seemed to have a better taste. I am pretty sure the dairy free version of the s'mores hot chocolate is not vegan because of the marshmallow. I did find it to be a little too sweet, but overall found it to be enjoyable. I've had it a few times, and the product is consistent. I think it is a little expensive for what it is! read more

This is so good, it's just a frozen hot chocolate with a torched circle of marshmallow fluff, and a scoop of whip cream so it is definitely super sugary and sweet, expect to share one, but I'm glad I tried the ice cream because I don't think I can try the hot chocolate again- definitely an experience tho!

Terrible terrible business. They accused us of cutting and refused service, even when we provided proof that my mother was waiting in line for a WHOLE HOUR in 20 degrees while we shopped. My mother is a very kind soul, and let others cut in front of her while she waited for me and my sister to come back into line. DESPITE THIS, they accused US of cutting. I, her son, even went to tell the workers that I was on a phone call with her while she was waiting. They still didn't believe me! Even worse, they told my mom "how could you live with yourself," when she did NOTHING wrong. I do not recommend this business to anyone who wants basic human decency and kindness. At this business, they value those who lie to their faces instead. My sister especially looked forward to this all trip when she saw it on TikTok, and was immeasurably disappointed when they gave us this disservice for our valued time. read more

$15 for a hot chocolate? Sign me up! In all seriousness, glace is worth the hype but there are definitely days and times of the day that the line is shorter. I would only go during those off hours. I went on a Saturday after work with a coworker and it was 15 degrees out. Definitely do not recommend conditions like that LOL. The line was also down the block! It was moving quickly though, until they were in between batches of marshmallow. So by the time we go to the front, we were shivering and sniffling pretty bad. We both got the chocolate chip s'mores hot choco and WOW! Never have I had such a pretty and decadent treat. It was also not too sweet despite being so rich. We were lucky enough to get the last two chocolate chip s'mores, so if you're going on a weekend, consider going earlier. I do wish the hot chocolate part was a bit larger of a cup if they're going to charge such a steep price. Nevertheless, being that I work in the area, I will probably come back whenever I'm feeling a treat for myself. read more

Allow me to de-influence you after I was influenced by Tik Tok. The first few bites were wonderful. Although I thought the scoop of whipped cream was ice cream, I was happy with it! The marshmallow is very light and just the perfect amount of dense-ness. That quickly ends when you realize how much of this is just sweet fluff. The sweetness becomes quickly overbearing and then you get to the hot chocolate which is somehow the sweetest part of all of this. My throat and teeth literally hurt from how sweet it is and despite spending $30 for two of these, we simply could not finish. If you have a sweet tooth you may really love it, but as someone who always wants a sweet treat after something savory, this was simply too much for me. Not worth the wait! read more

I'm so glad to have a French ice cream spot around - I really appreciate the custardy style base. My stracciatella was a little shy on chocolate but the chocolate flavors I sampled where really rich. I want to go back to try some more flavors - I went 30min before closing, so the staff wasn't scooping some flavors since they had just put out "fresh" tubs, which a little bit of a bummer, but otherwise they were super helpful and patient while I decided on my alternate flavor. read more

Like many others, I saw the S'mores hot chocolate on IG and decided to check it out while in town. Was almost deterred by the line, which I waited in for a good 20min or so at around 1pm on a weekday. You know it's bad when you can locate the place by the line of people waiting outside...Once inside, my order was ready in less than five minutes. The hot chocolate was nice and creamy and paired well with the fluff. There was so much fluff that I wondered when I would finally get to the chocolate! Definitely not complaining--I *love* me some toasted marshmallow. Definitely worth checking out. The line/wait time would deter me from visiting more often if I was in the area. read more

What a sad experience I just had with your food truck. I asked the person inside the truck what time they opened- he actually answered with "I don't work here, but I think at 12pm" Nevermind he had a Glace blue tshirt open. I got in line since 11:55am to be sure to be first in line as yesterday's line was about 20 people. It's now 12:40pm and I decided to walk away. The man never opened. He never came out to let the line of customers know anything about the delay in opening. What a horrible way to treat customers. Especially those who have traveled and have add you to their list of "must do". Unfortunately- I have put you on my "must not". read more

Tried the viral hot chocolate! The line looks longer than it is. It goes by fairly quick. When I went it was around the corner and like half way down that block and it was about 45 min wait in total. No restrooms inside or seating area but there's a seating area outside. Workers are all nice. They also sell ice cream Drinks range between $10-15. I def think it's a one time thing for the pic and the experience. If you love sweets, this place is for you. Def plenty enough to share with someone Each drink is essentially the same just diff toppings White hot chocolate brulee: the topping is delicious the marshmallow was toasted to perfections and the whip cream is so good! The drink itself was a pretty good white hot chocolate, on the sweeter side Peppermint hot chocolate: whipped cream was good , marshmallow with candy cane was good, hot chocolate was okay, had a bitter aftertaste to it Overall thought : messy, a lot of marshmallow and whipped cream and it gets very sweet, really for the pictures, it's good but a lot! I really think it's enough for share for like 3 people bc it's so sweet read more

I don't know how it is possible but Glace exceeded my expectations!! Let me set the scene. This place has gone incredibly viral and every time I pass by there is a line down the block and I haven't had the time to wait. Last night my friend and I decided that instead of happy hour we'd make the trek to Glace and see how the line was. We were shocked to see that at 6pm on a Thursday there was zero line (wahoo!). I think this was partially due to how cold it was outside, and the fact that the pre-christmas holiday rush is over. We each got the viral smores hot chocolate and I got mine dairy free (almond milk alternative). I was too excited to drink my hot chocolate that I didn't get any great photos but trust me. The hot chocolate was delish! The marshmallow fluff was next level and my friend shared that the whipped cream that came on top of her hot chocolate was almost better than the marshmallow! The weather was chilly but we were still able to grab one of the 4 tables out front and sit down to enjoy our hot cocoa. Long story short. I thought this place was probably over hyped, but after trying it for myself I'd wait in a 20 minute line for this! I am looking forward to trying their ice cream in the summer! Gluten free: Glace is owned by Noglu so you can be confident there is not gluten in the shop! Dairy free: There are dairy free options and they do not charge extra for almond milk. Glace really knows how to cater to allergies and restrictions so if you have any questions just ask the staff. They are incredibly helpful! read more

I'm a simple girl- I see a viral sensation on Instagram, I go get it. It's safe to say this is one of the best hot chocolates I've ever tasted. I don't think you even need the extra toppings, but they do make for a great picture. That being said, the large cookie was a bit dry but the small cookie, caramel pieces, marshmallow, and whipped cream were all good. The hot chocolate itself was super rich, not overly sweet, and didn't taste artificial at all. My friend and I went around 12-12:30 on a Wednesday when it just opened and there was no line at all. I did originally order the Cookies & Cream and the server misheard me and gave me the Chocolate Chip S'mores, but I was interested in that one too so it was okay. Still very good! They have an assembly line system so it moves fairly quickly. There also isn't much seating other than a counter, but just down the street is Noglu's cafe with pastries and coffee where you can sit.

I hate to say it but I was less than impressed with their products. The viral Frozen Hot Chocolate (and variations of) as well as the Glacier drinks are very Instagrammable. They are definitely aesthetically pleasing, and they do taste good. But are they extraordinary? I don't think as much. The offerings wouldn't warrant another trip all the way uptown for their treats. The torched marshmallow was tasty. It wasn't overly sweet and the torching gave it a good smokiness, but overall, it was not that innovative. The Glacier is a glorified milkshake with a Magic Shell like coating. The servings aren't very big but pricey at $12 for a meager 8oz (or less) cup. I will happily pay for quality, but this was a miss for me. Perhaps, more off putting to me was the service we received from the staff member. We were first timers and we asked a lot of questions. We were trying to understand their offerings and he grew impatient with us. He seemed to want to take our order and just dismiss us from the shop. He sloppily drizzled chocolate on the Frozen Hot Chocolate and almost grunted while begrugdingly putting the drink on the counter. By the end of the exchange, the experience was transactional at best. I understand we asked a lot of questions, but as I mentioned, this was our first time visiting. We actually were very enthusiastic about making the trek to this shop we'd long had on our list for our trip. We were ready to be dazzled by their drinks and tell everyone about this place. But this employee thoroughly deflated any excitement we had and we walked out of there feeling admonished. A bit surprising considering he should be one of tbe biggest and best brand ambassadors and gracious host. If I were a business owner, I would want my customers leaving my shop feeling great about their experience, not that you were an annoyance and dismissed. Overall, I'll rate their menu items two stars (1 for presentation and 1 for taste), but customer service was at an all time low. read more

Of course while I was in town, I had to get the viral hot chocolate, and my expectations were far exceeded! I got the salted caramel flavor and I am thoroughly impressed with the genius behind this creation. On a cold, winter New York day, the cup was a warm hug in a cup. The toasted marshmallow rim was not only scrumptious, but allowed the steaming liquid from dripping out of the cup. The homemade whipped cream on top offered a nice cooling contrast after a sip. The chocolate itself is memorably smooth and velvety. This place is definitely worth a trip if you're in the city. read more

We stopped in around 9:30 AM on a Saturday, and the place was buzzing--a clear sign of its popularity. While it is strictly a "to-go" spot, the efficiency of the operation makes the morning rush manageable. The Logistics & Ordering The menu is expansive, spanning three screens with an incredible variety of bagel types, cream cheese flavors, meats, and cheeses. Despite the line, the ordering process was straightforward. A major plus: you have the option to have your bagel toasted before they assemble the sandwich. Our coffees were ready within 2-3 minutes, and the sandwiches followed about 10 minutes later--very reasonable given how busy they were. The Food I went with a classic Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on an Egg Bagel. * The Bagel: The egg bagel itself was phenomenal. It had that perfect, authentic texture that makes NYC bagels famous. * The Build: The sandwich was very generously portioned. Every bite was delicious, well-balanced, and exactly what you want from a hearty breakfast sandwich. The "Extras" One of the most charming and unexpected parts of BTS is their candy selection. They carry an array of nostalgic and "internet-famous" treats I didn't even realize were still in production (or existed at all!). Keep an eye out for: * Dr. Pepper Tic Tacs * Krispy Kreme Doughnut Jelly Beans * Strawberry Creams * Pickle Candy The Verdict Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a top-tier spot for a reliable, high-quality NYC breakfast.

I had such a fun experience at See No Evil Pizza. The pizza flavors were incredibly inventive…read more(definitely not your standard slice) and everything we tried felt thoughtfully put together. 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.

I'm not sure why this place has made it onto so many lists, but it was pretty mediocre all-around…read more In other circumstances I might have found the colocation with the subway charming, but the space is rather cramped and hectic - to say, I was hoping the space would be something to overlook for the sake of the food. To start with the good: the arancini were perfectly passable, and the Sicilian pie was enjoyed by all. I would describe it as more of a Detroit style actually, with a super crispy crust and nice textural contrast. On the other hand, we did not enjoy the seasonal vegetable pie or the nepo pie. I generally really like this sort of no-cheese, umami-heavy pizza, but the nepo was so salty! I'm not sure what specific ingredient was missing, but missing it was. My hopes for a recreation of the rossa pie I enjoyed at Farina prior to their closure were dashed. As for the vegetable pie, the vegetables tasted like the frozen veggies one might find in what was once marketed as a "TV dinner". It was a shame, since the sauce of the white pie was otherwise pretty good.

Unfortunately, the answer is NO, not worth the $6.50, maybe worth half the price. The chocolate flavor is barely there, almost nonexistent. In other words, the glaze was only for show.

Not as good as the one I sampled in Copenhagen, Denmark. But it's worthy of your time and curiosity. Their sugar twist would pair nicely with a black coffee. Sometimes, it's the combination of your items that makes the meal memorable and delightful. One suggestion I would offer for the establishment is to offer to warm the pastries. That would further elevate the experience of your guest. Inside is small. You can fill a few tables and seating, but not a large party. Best to take away and enjoy on the road to the park. Overall, it's enjoyable, and you should stop in. I was inclined to give this place a 3-star, but they are on to something. The staff was nice, which pushed my award over to 4. Great job, team!

Hamburger America

While the other place might make a slightly better burger, Hamburger America wins on the overall experience. They offer actual tables and chairs, free soda refills, and a flawless mid-century Americana vibe (think retro counter, chrome accents, and vinyl floors). Plus, they feature rotating regional specials. The Wisconsin is bathed in butter. The Mississippi is breadcrumbed and deep-fried. The Lansing features Michigan olive mayo. The Salt Lake City is married to three separate onion burgers. The Waco is burned to a crisp. OK, those last two are made up.

The ambience - very very old school hamburger joint vibes; surprised there were no servers on rollerskates inside lol. But very fun. The service was friendly and prompt. I ordered the fried onion burger and a side of slaw. The slaw...while having good flavor (I think a kick of mustard), was just drowning in watery mayo. But on to the burger - good lord were those onions piping hot lol, but very very tasty and added a nice element of sweetness to the burger. The smashburger patties were nicely cooked - though I did find the patties didn't really have the crispy lacing, perhaps of the added moisture from the onions; with a great video of the griddle and kitchen, it did seem like the classic smash burgers did have that crispy look. Either way, the burger was still very satisfying and I'm glad I came by. I'll definitely have to come in for the classic smash and compare!
