Delicious breakfast. I had the silver dollar pancakes (why did they taste so good) with two eggs over well and sausage. My lovely had a waffle. It was also delicious. Coffee is in the name of the place so you expect it to be fantastic. It was. Place is a diner. Super casual. Nice and "greasy." Owners are active and VERY nice. Loved this place. Highly recommend. read more

The Landmark Coffee Shop is a classic example of a "no-frills" NYC diner, serving the SoHo and Little Italy area since 1962. What people may not realize is that it's a notable filming location from the 1985 cult classic Desperately Seeking Susan--specifically the scene where Rosanna Arquette and Aidan Quinn are asked to leave after a waitress mistakes Rosanna for Madonna's character, Susan. I'll have to watch that one again. The interior of the coffee shop is a "time capsule," featuring traditional counter stools, tables, and hand-written bills. As much as I would have loved to dine at an Italian spot in Little Italy, I was kind of in a hurry and didn't have a lot of cash on me after giving some away earlier. I ended up getting a cheeseburger deluxe and a Diet Coke at the Landmark--and asked for cheese on my fries, too. My bill was $18.50--very reasonable. Service was fast and friendly, and the waitress (a nice Chinese lady) kept calling me "baby," which was very endearing (I'm 61!). The best part? They have a bathroom--downstairs, very clean, and all you have to do is ask for the key. Glad I stopped there for lunch! read more

Landmark Coffee Shop - Cheeseburger deluxe. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Wonderfully classic NYC diner. Great prices, service. Diner fare no frills. All about the ambiance and the service as well as the authenticity. So rare in SoHo and Manhattan in general nowadays. Really worth the trip but it's incredibly central to downtown so it's not really a trip per se read more

Standard greasy spoon diner. Sticks out like a sore thumb in the midst of trendy SoHo/Nolita. The TikTok crowd doesn't seem to have ruined this place yet and I'm thankful for that. Nothing fancy in the slightest. The restaurant could use a facelift. It's narrow but has a decent amount of tables. Service was friendly and warm. Prices are not bad considering it's New York, but don't expect a bargain either (they still gotta pay the rent). Didn't use a restroom and wasn't sure if they had one. I didn't see any but surely they must? They take credit cards but will add a credit card fee if you choose to pay that way. Pancakes were heavenly. Egg and cheese on a roll was standard and hit the spot. Come here for quick and easy diner food without the pretentiousness of the surrounding area. read more

I love me an old school greasy spoon diner. Friendly service, tasty basic diner food, reasonable prices. Dropped in for lunch as I was in the area. My meal was served up quick and hot. Nothing super special but solid if you're looking to fill your belly. No frills kind of joint and a bit worn which is fine with me. I'm not that fancy. read more

Landmark Cafe is one of the few remaining film locations from the 80s movie "Desperately Seeking Susan." This cafe is where Roberta played by Rosanna Arquette and Dez (Aidan Quinn) were asked to leave after the waitress mistook Roberta for Susan (Madonna) While the cafe holds significant historical value, it shows signs of age and wear. The cafe could really use some fresh paint, and a little updating. They offer inexpensive breakfast options, and I found the Asian server who assisted me to be exceptionally friendly. It seems she is the sole waitress on duty. The coffee was decent, and the food was typical diner fare. I ordered the Guyere Omelet with toasts, and potatoes. The prices were very reasonable, but do note that they only accept cash payments. Check out my Instagram @travelwithmichael for the video. read more

This place was just ok. It served the purpose of having American food with simple choices in soho for a great price. My daughters are picky so chicken fingers and a burger .... The food was just ok. Not a lot of seating but we got one. My daughter asked for the bathroom we were told it was in the basement uhhhh no we will wait. The lady working the floor was on 100 she did everything and moved face I was tired watching her. Bottled drinks .... No alcohol... from the looks of everyone's table they like breakfast here.... I watched her pout their cups of water out of a jug .... Everything was so confusing ..... best thing was the bill. read more

Landmark Cafe is a throwback to an earlier New York. We stayed across the street for a week, using Landmark as our go-to or quick satisfaction. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a retro dining experience and many things that are right. The absolute best thing is this weakness and attentiveness shown in everybody by the staff! Lots of locals, lots of complicated turns and twists of customizations to order, and nothing but smiles and speed from the other side of the counter. Everything that I had put the spot, and you could tell from the smiles of the workers the landmark cafe repeatedly satisfied and served as a welcoming beacon during a hectic time and in busy days. If you want to sample your parents or grandparents experience of New York City, then this is the place to come for a filling breakfast and lots of smiles. read more

Hubs and I have been on a quest looking for diners to have breakfast and decided to come here for breakfast. He ordered 2 eggs on a roll with onion. He was hungry and said that it filled him up. It was no big deal, though. I ordered Number 1 from breakfast specials which is two country fresh eggs served with home fries, toast, coffee or tea. I ordered coffee. It was ok. The place was cold and a hole in the wall. Service was quick and friendly. Not sure if I will return, though. read more

No frills diner type of spot near soho and Chinatown. They have indoor and outdoor dining. Prices are pretty good here for some American food. I got the grilled cheese with bacon and tomatoes and my bf got the corned beef hash with two eggs. We also shared an order of mozzarella sticks. The coffee was pretty watered down and didn't have much coffee taste. There's only one waitress and she pretty much does everything. The grilled cheese was good, just your usual basic grilled cheese. The mozzarella sticks were goood. Had a nice cheese pull and a nice crust. Overall good spot if you want casual American food read more

Food was nothing amazing, just traditional diner food quality. Not bad but nothing special. I was excited to try because there aren't many old school diners in the area. Unfortunately, I will NOT be returning. The waitress overcharged me like $10 on the bill. Felt malicious. Just lost what could have been a repeat customer. Beware-- make sure to check the receipt before accepting the charge. Apparently its been done here a few times before read more

Just got into the city after a long redeye flight and looking for something to quiet the hunger beast in my belly. As this was right across the street from our hotel, we decided to check it out. Super quick seating and service, super-friendly staff, everyone's food was yummers and hit the spot without being too wieldy or too meager. The scrambled eggs I ordered literally gave me a myriad of childhood memories, as my tutu used to cook eggs exactly the same way. The coffee put hair on everyone's chest (omg) and they also had bottles and cans of soda and juice if you aren't looking for extra hair. Bathroom is downstairs and looks a little sus, but follow the directions and you will be just fine (I promise). Prices were incredibly reasonable and I even got to see a Scottish tourist stand up in confusion over the table and seating arrangements. What a great morning ..... hello NY! read more

Good solid breakfast, really sweet server who was a doll. Really nice neighborhood diner with lots of options and great coffee.

This diner type place is a gem in the neighborhood where there have been so many trendy restaurants opened in the last couple of years. Loved the causal vibe of this local eatery. Shop is only open from 6am to 6pm. We just missed the breakfast specials which ends at 11am. It has the typical menu found in most diners where you can get omelettes, pancakes, eggs and sausages, waffles along with burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc. We got Western omelette and eggs with ham on a roll which were pretty good. Service was quick. Place filled up as we were getting ready to leave. read more

The story goes that I skipped breakfast, missed my stop, and ended up less than 4 minutes away from this small diner. Originally planning on eating at a swanky, slightly overpriced restaurant, I was unsure of the Landmark Coffee Shop. THEN, I was greeted by the warmest smile in Lower Manhattan. The staff is incredibly inviting! I ordered the French toast with bacon and sausage. It came with a healthy side of butter and a good seat for people watching. The Landmark Coffee Shop is a traditional diner that serves quick and delicious meals. read more

Landmark Coffee Shop - Fresh coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The Landmark is an icon. Here and there movie scenes were filmed here. It is a well-worn diner establishment that has seen better days. The ambiance and clientele is a mix of tourists and old single men over the age of 50 who dine their regularly. The typical American breakfast fare...eggs, homefries, and toast are done well. Nothing special and also private extravagant. Avoid eating their hamburgers and if you are not someone who eats their regularly...or not an extravagant tipper...or if the waitress doesn't like you. The portions will be extremely small in comparison with the other diners. Don't try their Greek fare either. The waitress has been there for years and is superficially polite and efficient but also looking for $$$. If it wasn't for the 80s movie scenes, I doubt many would be eating here for the food and price. I don't think this place will last much longer..given the rapid disappearance of diners like these in NYC. read more

We were staying in town for a few days at a nearby hotel, and ran into this coffee shop. The server/owner(?) was great. She was always on the go with high energy, but made sure each table was taken care of. She was probably the best part to be honest! The food was very good, & tastes homemade - it was very comforting. read more

Now Landmark sticks out as a relic of an older SoHo, providing an authentic diner experience in the midst of a sea of Avocado Toasts & French Press Coffees. Admittedly, the service was a bit slower and less kind here, but it was a Sunday morning and they were understandably busy. I ordered a coffee but got a tea instead, which was a bit lame. They also randomly added pancakes to our order, which was confusing but we still ate happily. The breakfast plates are $6-8 which is ridiculously reasonable for the location & amount of food. With eggs, hash browns, and toast (plus the pancakes and tea on the side), I was more than full. The quality of the food was average (felt as good if not a bit worse than what I could make at home), but having them all at your service for a really cheap price makes it taste just a bit better. Glad I at least got to come here once! read more

Landmark Coffee Shop - a plate of food on a blue table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Man, I love greasy spoon diners. Whenever I've run into one, I make it a point to eat there. It's not just about the food, it's about stepping into a time machine of sorts. Walking into Landmark, the old tables, ancient looking menu mounted over the counter, the cash registers and the counter (that you can sit at!!!) all harken back to another time. This place isn't fancy and its ambience is so down to Earth I felt immediately comfortable, as if I've gone for years. We're talking no frills here folks. To punctuate the point, the bathroom is downstairs, and while you have to pass through a fairly scary staircase to get to it, the bathroom itself is kept nice and clean. I came in and sat at the bar, something else I make a point to do at a diner if possible. There's just something about being in the hub of all that activity that appeals to me. I sat closest to the gent who was cooking on the grill, and man, the speed this guy moved at was insane. Pancakes, sandwiches, omelettes etc. were all produced in front of me at blazing speed. My order was taken by a friendly waitress within minutes of my arrival, and less than ten minutes later my food was in front of me. I ordered a nice, basic breakfast: two eggs, sunny side up on ham with hash browns and whole wheat toast. I threw in a coffee for good measure and I was off to enjoying a deeeelish breakfast! The eggs were cooked perfectly, with the whites done but the center warm and runny (this goes on toast better than anything). The hash browns had peppers, onions and paprika and tasted really good, but they didn't have a crisp exterior as some places make it. The coffee was a bit weak in my opinion, but I tend to drink stronger flavors so that may just be me. The only oddity is I did note that there were no sugar substitutes anywhere. I looked for Sweet n' Low and Splenda around the various tables and saw none, so I just decided to take the coffee with milk. What's insane is how cheap the meal is. Even though I had missed the breakfast specials time frame, my meal was only about $9 altogether! A good old fashioned atmosphere, fast service and good food. Nothing fancy, but definitely awesome. read more

Best diner ever--best prices, best service, best way to spend a morning. My favorite breakfast spot

It's exactly what it looks like, only better. Try their fresh carrot juice. Everytime I order something a little customized here, they always listen to me and it's exactly what I wanted. The main waitress I guess functions as a hostess- shes always calling everyone "My friend." I'd almost venture that she low key means that. The bathroom is WILD. read more

I was Chinatown with family to do some pre-Chinese New Year's shopping and for a quick lunch bite we stopped by Landmark. I ordered a triple-decker sandwich of corn beef with American cheese and mustard on white bread which was also served with French fries. The sandwich was okay, as the corn beef had some nice briny flavor that was enhanced with the tangy mustard. American cheese was okay too, with a pleasant slightly melted texture. I enjoyed the French fries as they were rather thick, slightly crisp, and not greasy. Tossing on a dash of salt in conjunction with ketchup really amped up the taste. My sister had a grilled Cheddar cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato on rye bread which was a solid version of this diner classic. The bacon was crisp, the cheese was grilled to a nice melting point, and the bread buttery and crisp. As with my platter, the fries were very good. Solid, no fuss diner fare, with good service is what you expect at Landmark which summarizes my lunch experience. read more

Breakfast in the peripheral limits of Chinatown summon eggs, toast with butter, tea at a table. I desired an all inclusive meal which Landmark offers breakfast specials until 11 am. The female Chinese server was abrasive, callous, curt, stolid, pushy, insolent, and aggressive attitude to sell more food than I requested: "You want orange juice, it is $3? Very fresh, you want?" The menu stated "coffee or tea" in the breakfast specials but does not specify what genre of tea is available or offered so I asked and received a very broad, vague stolid response: "only Tetley tea is included." What kind of tea is Tetley? English breakfast, Earl Grey, green tea, chamomile, peppermint herb, etc.? "TETLEY TEA ONLY!! We do have those teas as we have everything!" Bellicose female server with extreme antagonistic approach towards me. Fine, I'll take the Tetley tea. No. 1 $5.95 Two country fresh eggs served your favorite way with home fries, toast and Tetley black tea With this aggressive, harsh, callous attitude the previous reviews are on point about the poor food quality and excessive poor customer service of horrible communication skills. The eggs lack fluffiness in my choice of scrambled, the toast were the end pieces in the bread loaf bag with very minimal butter spread. The toast were very burnt as the cook was not paying attention to the toaster which the bread shrank and no consideration that no one desires the end pieces in the bread loaf bag. The home fries were average and the black tea was meh. Price is the only good thing about Landmark as this diner is surely NO landmark endorsed. I was never offered water as a basic amenity. Servers are women who do not emit any warm welcoming sotto voce for a subtle segue entering morning to start the day. Rushed and haphazard to serve customers without the genuine warmth of attentive service and sincere interest. GIGO read more
