    Black & Tan. $5.73 + tip
    Ruwan J.

    this is the La Colombe location, next to the Whole Foods on Houston Street. it used to be Allegro coffee shop. while it's a nice location and convenient if you need pre- or post-supermarket shopping caffeine. it is not really doesn't have the same vibe as the La Colombe flagship on Lafayette. the coffee is solidly good and served accordingly as it using La Colombe coffee products and baked goods, but it doesn't have that La Colombe top-notch vibe. the space gets a lot of sunlight, well-maintained, and organized. also it has a good amount of seating. betond going to Whole Foods, it's convenient when you're in the area or getting on or off the subway but if i want that La Colombe magic then i head to the Lafayette location. all that said, the staff is friendly and makes this location work. the location is just missing that coffee personality which is more reflection of the energy of the space and setup.

    La Colombe is a longstanding coffee provider and had a lot of early success in the growing coffee scene. It's been a long time since I've been back to try their coffee, and I will say that as industrialized as it's become, it's still solid. There's a lot better coffee scattered throughout NYC, but for as unanimous as they've become the coffee isn't bad at all. This particular location is attached to the whole foods and serves as a bit of cafe/watering hole for shoppers. There's a moderate amount of space to sit, no bathrooms (i don't think) and no wifi. The music was kind of loud but I think it just depends on the day you come; good place to maybe get some reading done or get a quick coffee on your way to your next adventure. As far as coffee rankings go, it's not a place I feel the need to return to but it's not bad by any means. They of course also sell a variety of their beans there.

    Staff was super friendly and were pushing out drinks quickly. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was delightful. Hubs needed a spot to sit down and enjoy his Russ & Daughters bagel. This shop was spacious and had plenty of seating for him to eat and enjoy some coffee as well.

    Nice place that's conveniently on a corner in the LES. It was pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon, so there was plenty of seating available. Not as aesthetic as their other locations, but still nice and clean. Pumpkin Spice Draft (~$8) - pretty expensive for a cup of coffee, but I have to admit it is good. It's draft so it's ready immediately. It's smooth and creamy, but not too much of a pumpkin flavor. Pretty light on the coffee flavor though, so don't think it has too much caffeine.

    My favorite coffee in all of Manhattan! Always consistent and always great! This new location opened on the corner on Houston and Chrystie and on normal days will be open from 7-7 daily. Very cool to have a La Colombe open so early in the morning! This location is their first actual roastery in Manhattan. They even have their own Bowery blend beans!!! How cool is that?! They are serving up their tasty pastries and have a great sitting area if you have time to chill. If you like coffee or espresso...give this place a shot! It's truly my fav and what I brew at home!!

    Chai latte

    Very good location, right next to the Whole Foods. Coffee is good, chai is quite sweet. Service was friendly and simple. Haven't tried their pastries as they did not look the freshest. Interior decor is way too simple and quite frankly lacks any design. But this cafe is spacious, and wasn't crowded at all on an early Saturday morning. Definitely a good spot for a very casual coffee drink.

    La Colombe always delivers the best fast service for a drink or pastry. The drinks never disappoint and had me visiting everyday. The quality of the espresso shines through each beverage, and you can't beat their draft lattes!

    This location is connected to the Whole Foods next door - we popped in during the afternoon after walking around the city all day. Clean menu, without paralysis from having too many options. Staff was friendly as our big group ordered. I can see myself coming by again!

    Coffee was good but not too special. Spacious place to sit and chat but not the most clean or comfortable. I'd say it's an easy place to stop for a while!

    Classic la colombe coffee. It's nothing special but it's decent and reliable. The best thing about this location is lots of seating.

We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing. You have a choice of meats, so we chose the grilled chicken. Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water. I would return to Friedman's when I'm in the Herald Square area, or check out one of their other locations in the city.
