Great coffee shop across the street from the midtown Hilton. When you see the locals going in, then it must be good. We had two vanilla lates and ordered the LeBooste bagel!! It was outstanding. Plenty for 2 to share, well depending on your appetite. We went x2 on our weekend in NYC. Service was polite, quick and helpful with suggestions. Cool little coffee shop in the middle of everything. Competitive pricing for manhattan according to us as travelers. read more

definitely a really bright and very cheery area. Glad I stopped them. The pistachio latte was very good and I had the Express, which was turkey in a regular love on a bagel and was quite good. A little bit on the dry side. I think if they would've had Dijon mustard and a little bit more of the mayonnaise, it would be much better. read more

Not only does this place have good coffee, good pastries, and good service, but they also have a cool selection of European items for sale. From Nestle cereals to fancy mustards and everything in between you are able to get a nice set of unique items here while also getting a good coffee. This isn't going to be the world's best coffee you've ever had or the best pastry, but for midtown, this is a much better choice than Starbucks. read more

Stopped by this coffee shop after visiting Hudson Yards and I'm so glad I did! Super convenient location and the barista was incredibly friendly. I ordered an iced Americano and it was perfect, bold and strong, with a smooth sweetness and no sharp acidity, just the way I like my coffee. The shop itself has a great vibe too -- cozy ambiance and the kind of place you can easily hang out with friends for a while. read more

Wanting a quick pick me up while walking through the chronic stimulation that is Midtown Manhattan, we stopped by Le Cafe on 57th Street. The cafe was bigger than we thought once inside and had nice decorations throughout, definitely on the cleaner side too. They offer a decent amount of food and drink options ranging from lattes and iced teas to bagels and acai bowls. The line moved quickly and we got a red tea latte which was described as similar to a London fog latte. Our latte was handed off without a lid and we had to put one on at the side bar, which is a small detail but we wanted to note that as well. We also noticed that they didn't have any cup sleeves so we had to use napkins around the cup to keep our hands from burning up. The latte itself was pretty underwhelming. Yes, it's a tea latte so the flavor is going to be lighter but this felt a bit like drinking milk that was vaguely around a cup of tea at some point. The flavor was not bad by any means, it's just the intensity of the flavor that was the problem. The texture of the latte and foam were good and the temperature at serving was not much of an issue. For the price point it beats whatever Starbucks is offering but we would say don't come into Le Cafe looking for anything revolutionary, just a standard coffee. read more

The barista working the counter ruined the whole experience and I didn't get food because I was so turned off.

It didn't taste bitter at all. 10/10! The lavender latte was just okay for me. If didn't have a wow factor and was very expensive.

Le Cafe has great drinks but unfortunately had very terrible experience here recently. I by accidentally ordered a hot latte in the morning, I realized this when I picked it up and nicely asked for a cup of ice. The cup of ice was very small(which I understand, they are not obligated to give me a larger cup) but I nicely said "excuse me" again to the barista who responded in a very rude tone "WHAT NOW." As someone who has worked in food & bev as a hostess and waitress I understand how frustrating it can be to tend to people when you are slammed, as the cafe was on this particular morning, but the tone of voice and response was completely unnecessary to a customer who was very respectful. I asked if it was possible to have a slightly larger cup and began to explain that I ordered a hot drink accidentally. Before I could get halfway through my sentence the barista yelled "NO sorry." I was in such shock from the volume and tone of voice that I just silently walked away. Speaking so loudly to me in such a rude manner, whether it was intended or not, was embarrassing first thing in the morning. Normally there is great service here but sadly a complete misstep by this employee. Going out of your way to be rude and dismissive to any customer, especially one who is nothing but nice and respectful of you, is never okay. read more

The best coffee. In the hustle of nyc people rush to get whatever coffee is closest... and this is worth going out of your way. Delicious fresh beans, modern calming decor, plenty of space inside and the tastiest coffee. They have a big selection of fresh French pastries with a twist and a little store section with shortbread biscuits etc. the coffee is beyond phenomenal though. Whether you are looking for a latte, a flat white or a drip this is definitely the best coffee in the city. I found it on my last work trip and look forward to coming here when I'm back in town. The coffee is rich, smooth, nutty and a nice caramel finish. also they have all the flavors and different milks if you are in need. read more

The 2 Everything pastries were filled with what looked like spinach and cheese. Incredible when reheated, but I wish they were served warm. The cinnamon roll was good, but not standout. The pain au chocolat was tender and flaky. Some of the seasonal drinks, like the Grinch, looked really good and I'd come back to try one, but I likely wouldn't swing for a pastry this time.

If you are dining in, the comfy seating, especially small booths near entrance, are wonderful to sit in, dine and people watch. The service is friendly and professional as well as the display, food is beautifully presented. Today we decided to stop by for a quick treat and hot drinks. The pear almond tart hit the spot: the crust, almonds and pear were scrumptious and enough for two people to share. I did not enjoy the Chai... just tasted meh but my friend enjoyed her cappuccino. There is Al fresco dining and lovely to dine in the summer. Bel Ami is located on 866 Lexington Avenue Take F train to 63rd and Lexington

If you are on the socials, then no doubt you've seen this viral NYC coffee on tap spot. I love trying coffee spots so I knew I had to visit. I hopped on the train and got there around an hour after they opened and the line was only about 15 people long. They take your order while you are waiting in line (it's a to go spot so no seating), and things move quickly. I got the salted caramel with a croissant and it was smooth creamy but not heavy and not too sweet perfection...the chocolate almond croissant was great but quite small. On my second visit I decided on the bergamot honey latte--again it see very good...the bergamot is there but not over powering. This time I got the banana bread and it was superb! Take your coffee and treats to the park across the street with benches. You can people watch and enjoy your morning coffee!!

It was busy, so after paying, you get a cute ticket--hand it to the barista for the viral latte!

I'm super biased and love my Jersey bagels over newyork but that's another story. Ess a bagel hits the mark on every level, they have the culture, atmosphere and the bagels are great. My bagel was slightly stale but hardly noticeable. I just maybe question the freshness bc they are pumping out a lot of bagels. Super packed and you'll wait in line. The cream cheese spreads are impressive.

Hamburger America

If you're looking for a perfect, no-nonsense smash burger, this is the place. It's exactly what a…read moreburger should be. They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly. I really appreciated that they keep it simple, giving you the choice of onion or no onion, letting the quality of the beef and the perfect sear speak for itself. Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be. If you appreciate the classics done right, this is an absolute must-visit in NYC.

Went to Hamburger America on a weekend in the early afternoon. It's located at the corner of West…read moreHouston Street/Sixth Ave, between SoHo and the West Village. It was busy but not overcrowded, and we found a table outside. When you arrive, you order at the counter inside, receive a number, and then find a seat while your meal is prepared fresh. A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!

Was given 2 types - the baguette and one of the rustic loafs. Was also told I could request more bread if I wanted to. The eggs were poached perfectly, and paired so well with everything else on the plate. The bread tasted very good on its own, with butter, or to soak up all that yogurt, egg and spices on the plate. This ended up being a very substantive breakfast. I ended up taking 2 half loaves home with me after the meal!

We had made a reservation for 9.30 am and they asked us to leave at 10.05 am because they had another reservation waiting. Kind of weird to only give 30mins to sit down, look at the menu, order and eat your food. I had just finished my last bite and the plates were taken away and we were given the cheque. The waitress was friendly, just wish we weren't rushed out.
