    2 Eggs Sandwich Breakfast
    Mike M.

    Ok. For everyone in 2025. When looking for this spot ensure you do not walk in to "MAMAN" which is some sort of French style coffee shop just next door! Lol. Once inside I realized this was a popular spot for locals not just tourists near the hotels and train station. Either way there is seating for about 10 inside and I sat in the rear and people watched. The orders are made with care. Everything is done fresh and hot. I strongly recommend the PBJ bagel toasted mmm. But also egg options were great. Coffee is as you like it and better than Starbucks. Prices are average for NYC. There were some specialty muffins and such but when they run out they are out so get there early. Service is king at this joint.

    My goal is to try a Big NY Bagel. As they say nothing better than a NY Bagel. And absolutely found one! When walking in it was nice clean with modern decore, and ample seating. The waitress was pleasant and spot on. I order the "Lox"on a onion Bagel toasted. And my ooh my the Bagel is big and they do not skimp! I had to save the other half. And if you look at the pic you can see the amount of cream cheese they put on. Also ordered a Mocha that topped it. I was sooo happy! They serve other items sandwiches, breakfast specials and pastries. I will definitely come back and try one of the sandwiches.

    Came in during a weekday lunch to pick up an iced matcha. Manuela was so nice and helpful. The owner is also amazing. Lots of space for working and/or eating their delicious breakfast or lunch. Very clean good music I would highly recommend.!!

    Overall really good place to grab a quick bagel and coffee. Service was extremely fast and tons of seating. Bagel quality was good and enjoyed- recommend

    Egg and cheese sandwich
    Rosa O.

    I got an egg and cheese on an everything bagel with a hazelnut latte, and both were amazing. The bagel was perfectly toasted, the egg and cheese were warm and melty, and the latte was smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. Great coffee, great food, no fuss-exactly what you need before a day in the city. Definitely coming back!

    Review is for coffee only. Location is right next to the Fitzpatrick hotel on 44th. I came down from my hotel around 8am to have been meet with a line at the door. Most people also seemed to be from the hotel getting in their days coffee and bagels. The line moved okay, about 10 minutes until I could order just a black coffee. At this point I requested if they could pour it now so I wouldn't have to wait which I appreciate them doing. The cold brew was in the lighter side, no strong on flavor so it doesn't need cream or a whole lot.

    Classic Salmon Sandwich Breakfast
    Amber D.

    Went here for an early morning breakfast, and everything was so delicious!! I have been thinking about the Sarabella original coffee from Madman Espresso for a month now since I last had it. The coffee was so fragrant and having that added cinnamon touch to the drink was such a perfect and refreshing combination, especially if you like cinnamon. It was also great with oat milk and was not overly sweet, which suits my tastes exactly. I also grabbed a salmon lox bagel to eat for breakfast, and it was delicious. They are very generous with the lox, and with an everything bagel, tomato's, capers, and onions? Filled my cravings for bagels and salmon immediately. I can't wait to have this again. The cafe itself was pretty small, but tables were almost always available as most of the customers pick up their drinks and head out right away. Getting your coffee and food was a quick experience as well. I recommend going early in the morning before 10am to really enjoy the ambience as well as the food and drinks.

    I stumbled upon this place while in town. Cute place to do some work, write or meet a friend. Plenty of seats inside and one table out side. I ordered an iced Americano with a pump of chocolate. The espresso seemed strong. It was OK. I didn't order any other food, but they appear to have a lot of different options for coffee and some sandwiches. The prices are fair. My Coffee was just a little disappointing. I'm not really sure why. Maybe it was the type of coffee they use. They do have non dairy milk options. They do have a great bar seat, facing the window for great people watching. Maybe the food is better. Cute spot, no bathrooms... gotta use hotel next door.

    Really loved my dirty chai and bagel. It is an easy location and even my sister who is picky about bagels enjoyed this bagel/coffee shop. It is small but on a nice day you can get lucky and get an outside table.

    I tagged along with my husband to my favorite city. I was staying at the hyatt grand central and didn't want to have breakfast in the food court. Even though it was cold and rainy, I found the cutest shop 3 min walk. The owners were kind and the food was amazing. A variety of options but not overwhelming. Amazing. Definitely going to hit this cute place 1 more time before I head out. Side note. Im assuming it's the owners, but they are talkative and both so charming.

    Green goddess bagel
    Dylan M.

    Went back and got the besto bagel this time. I substituted regular bacon for turkey bacon. I liked it but I preferred the green goddess. The pesto was a little too dry for me. Tip add some salt and pepper if you get this bagel. Still enjoyed my experience and went with my friend again because he loved it.

    Iced Regular Coffee & Rainbow Bagel with cream cheese

    Cute little place, very small. The service was good. The bagel was really good although I got the plain cream cheese and it kinda had a faint chive/onion taste so I don't know if it was sitting next to that cream cheese or they didn't clean the knife all the way. The coffee was good, it was just coffee.

    Bagel

    Very delicious bagels and kind staff! We ordered the salmon bagel, cappuccino, and matcha muchacha. Matcha is not super sweet.

This is in a ritzy part of town on 60th St between Madison Ave & Park Ave with Ferraris & Bentleys parked on the street, so you have to guess that the storefront rent must be astronomical. But oh, these gastronomical sandwiches are off the charts and can justify the price. Once you decipher the names of the sandwiches on the menu and see what's between the bread, you will want to try all of them. I settled on 2 finalists, but decided get both anyway. All sandwiches are made fresh with some of the best looking meats & ingredients I've ever seen! And what's better is that they bake all the focaccia for the sandwiches fresh and in-house. You see the bread oven right behind the register. I wonder if I could buy a slab of that bread? The L'Inferno brought images of Danté Alighieri's version of the Underworld to mind, but was a spicy hot masterpiece of sandwich art. The combination of thinly sliced roasted porchetta, nduja, spicy grilled eggplant & arugula was fantastic! The fresh baked focaccia took it even further. But I did learn something new today besides Italian pronunciation, which was that nduja (silent n) is a spicy sausage from Calabrese that's spreadable like butter. I gotta get me some of that stuff! The La Paradiso sounds like the third installment of Danté's Divine Comedy trilogy, but is a very mild, but tasty sandwich with mortadella, stracciatella & crushed pistachios in pistachio cream. The pistachio cream is a stroke of culinary genius and gives the sandwich an amazingly smooth texture & taste. The only part of the Divine Comedy missing from their menu is La Purgatorio and I do not want to find out what would go into that sandwich!

Google their name and "best" and get hundreds of hits, but the majors who crowned them "best sandwich" title include Saveur Magazine, the big one touted by the family; Eater NY, ranking La Paradiso the most elite Italian sandwich outside of Italy; Las Vegas Weekly, who crowned them "Home of the world's best sandwiches"; TripAdvisor, for whom the Italian original is the most reviewed eatery with a near perfect rating; and The Infatuation NYC guides who promise the execution of the crispy, airy schiacciata bread completely justifies the hype. All 17 options looked amazing, so I spoke to a regular in line, telling her I couldn't decide between "La Paradiso", the most praised (even though she informed me "mortadella is just bolonie" or the Hot Italian, which was more my style. So, I did what any gluttonous American would do and I got both. And a Diet Coke, of course. La Paradiso has thinly sliced bolonie for a savory base, with creamy shredded stacciatella cheese, with sweet but earthy pistachio cream, and a sprinkle of toasted pistachio for texture (that I didn't detect). The Hot Italian had thin, lean turkey, spicy and smoky spreadable Calabrian pork sausage, a balancing provolone, calabrian chili honey, and peppery arugula (that they claim adds crunch that I didn't detect). Were they life-changing? No. But I rank Paradiso a 8.8 and Hot Italian a 10. And because everyone is hard-working and everything is so freshly prepared and cut, it's a class act. They should seriously make a sign that says, "Can't decide? Get two!" and then give me free sandwiches on my yearly trips for the idea.

Still, after seeing plate after plate come out to nearby tables, I decided to give it a try. What a surprise. It was a huge portion of fresh white meat chicken with a light coating and a perfectly balanced sauce, served piping hot. We couldn't finish it (knowing we had a big dinner later), but I kept going back for "just one more piece" more times than I'd like to admit. Reservations aren't accepted for parties of two, but in the late afternoon it wasn't busy at all, we walked right in with no wait. Would absolutely come back.
