Came in for a little WFH cafe action and left finding one of my new favorite spots. Matcha was delicious and they have the simple syrup on the side to let you control your levels! Their foods all looked so so yummy and came highly recommended by other customers. The energy in the cafe was also great, the man behind the counter was singing and dancing the whole time. The girls were very sweet and they all made conversation with each customer. Very personable and welcoming energy! read more

cute, cute and more cute. I had a wonderful lentil soup and the warmest, softest pita bread in their lovely establishment. read more

Cute and cozy local cafe. I got a latte with hazelnut syrup and it was amazing (I usually don't like my drinks overly sweet and the amount used in the latte was perfect!) Also ordered the Shakshuka, which was super savory and had a little kick to it which I loved. There are some tables and plenty of barstool seating as well. So if you come early you'll be able to snag a seat. Service was great and felt super welcoming. Will be coming back! read more

Delicious food people would love come back for more with good service also with family and friends Even delivery to enjoy at home too

Amazing, cozy, and warm place to have breakfast or lunch. The food is exceptionally authentic! Takes me back to my travels throughout the Mediterranean. We ordered the Shakshuka, Jerusalem bagel platter, and Hummus Sabich - all were amazing but the Shakshuka was the winner! The Jerusalem bagel and pita were so delicious and fluffy. Coffee and drinks were fantastic as well. read more

I have been here twice, the first time I came in for the avo toast which is possibly the best avo toast I've ever had. The second thing was the egg salad sandwich which was just okay, I think I could make a better one at home. The vibes in here are cute and the staff is really nice. It does take a minute to prepare but nothing crazy. The biggest downside to here in my eyes is the prices are a little steep for what you're getting. Overall looking forward to coming back here to try some other stuff as well as their drinks. read more

Needless to say, this cafe is always busy--and for good reason. Mellow Yellow has incredible service, high-quality food and drinks, and some of the best hummus I've had in New York! The staff is consistently kind, welcoming, and attentive. If I could give this cafe 10 stars, I would. A special shoutout to Kobi, the manager, who is exceptionally organized, hardworking, and attentive to every detail. It's clear that he genuinely cares about both his customers and his team. Highly recommend! read more

Great food for the most part, but the price is unjustifiably too high. Cute and cozy, fantastic bites, but they are the smallest Burekas ever. Eggs are good as is coffee, but the value it's just not there read more

First time here, well for me at least, my boyfriend has been here many times so he wanted to take me here to tried. We opted out to just share one pita sandwich (it is HUGE) and perfect for us. Now I'm giving the pita sandwich a 6.7/10 since the egg took over the sandwich, couldn't 't really taste the eggplant so I told my bf that if we get this next time, no eggs. Other than that, the tahini added more flavors once I took the egg out of my half. I got full off of a half pita, they really stuffed it (which is a good thing), should have order some balava too. Yes they have balava. Definitely, getting that for a sweet treat and a cup of ice coffee. Services was wonderful, staff was friendly and even told my bf to sign up for points since he does come there often. Also, side note, it's the hot sauce brand name, when he told me I was like the hot sauce has a restaurant? So it's not the same. Can't wait to come back and try out dishes. The place isn't big, a couple of tables and great place for a little date lunch / coffee or to do a little work during the weekdays. read more

A cute and really delicious cafe in the Upper East side! We went on New Year's Day and it was very crowded, so you may have to be prepared to wait to get a table if it's busy. The food was delicious but the chai tea latte was my favorite part of the meal! Would definitely recommend read more

If you're in the mood for a nice lunch meal the Pita Zaatar, Shakshuka sandwich, or Abu Pita are all solid choices here. They also usually have a few different iced teas to choose from. Good stuff! read more

Pretty good and fast service. Yummy Mediterranean food. I like their march and ice chai latte. Also their sandwiches are super nice

Great coffee shop with a friendly owner. It's a neighborhood fav judging from how many people frequent it and work on the laptops. read more

Cute little place with 4 small tables and a few seats along the window. The avocado toast was delicious with crumbled feta, chopped tomato and parsley. It had an unexpected but delicious hint of orange. And don't forget the side of tomato salsa (not sure what to call it) with a Mediterranean taste. Turkish or Moroccan music in the background. Im only in town for a few days but i will be back tomorrow. read more

Fantastic. We ordered the shakshuka and Jerusalem bagel with an assortment of dips (hummus, egg salad, labneh, and avocado). My only regret was not getting an extra couple of pitas! The borekas looked good, too. Very high quality Israeli food. The staff were really nice and the space is small, but cozy. 5/5. read more

Mellow Yellow brings so much joy to my life. I am serious when I say this place is perfect. I go here frequently and it has literally never disappointed. The vibes inside are absolutely incredible with the music and the singing. The staff is absolutely wonderful everytime we come. It does not matter what you get here you will not be disappointed. Our go to is chamshuka and the za'atar pita and add egg. Me and my girlfriend share both and it's just a perfect morning. I can not state this enough THIS PLACE IS PERFECT! read more

In contrast to my Le Pain Quotidian review from this week Mellow Yellow is everything you could ask for in a coffee shop with great food. The decor is fun and the environment is lively. Fast service, lots of locals, and an all around great place. Best Shaksh(o)uka I've had in years. read more

I have never eaten at this establishment, so of course I cannot talk about the food. The service is impeccable. I have no complaints about the service. They are charming. And they know how to do business. What I do love about the Ambiance of this place is that they never play the music loud. And for someone with exceedingly sensitive hearing. That's why I love this place. They're charming. They're wonderful. I did get three regulars once and they were magnificent. I give this place a 10 read more

Mellow Yellow is what I call a neighborhood local owned business. I've been coming here for years. It's still five stars in my book. You can read my previous review and check out my photos. As soon as the weather stabilizes I'm going back. It's a inviting welcoming and cozy atmosphere. read more

Love everything about Mellow Yellow. It's a small cozy spot for coffee and a pastry or a real lunch and smoothies as well. I'm a fan of their cheese and spinach filled Borachim... actually all varieties are delicious. I liked them so much I ordered for a party at my place. Oh and the service is remarkable. I honestly forgot the name of the owner but he goes out of his way to make you Happy . A one and a million type of place Go and enjoy read more

My boyfriend and I came here on a Saturday morning around 10:00 a.m. for brunch. We both ended up ordering the Jerusalem Bagel, which came with hummus, mashed avocado, egg salad, and labne. All of the spreads were delicious, particularly the hummus and the labne. I wish the menu had a bit more variety, since almost everything was a variation of a pita sandwich or Shakshuka. The cashier (possibly the manager) was really nice and friendly. There are a few tables inside, but the interior is pretty small. I imagine it's not always possible to sit and eat if the cafe gets busy! read more

Went here this morning on a friends suggestion and have to say the food was really good. The staff were friendly and very attentive. Overall a great place, where you can get well tasting vegetarian and vegan food. They also offer a bonus program, if you join every tenth coffee is free. I will definitely com again when I am in town. read more

If you are looking for authentic Israeli food this is the place to go!! The borekas are so great and so is the shashukah!! In fact everything that I had there was delicious. I spoke with the owner on my last visit and she was unbelievably sweet, I told her I was there for my husband's cancer treatment at MSK and that he was Israeli and she gave me some desserts to bring to him in the hospital. read more

It was good. Not great. Maybe the portions shrunk when i visited not sure. Not many smiles from the staff. Not sure. Maybe an off day. Won't be back. read more

Four tables and a high top with three counter top seats at the window. Super cute ambience with art from local artist. Staff very friendly. I happened to go on their one year anniversary so I got a free slice of baklava in celebration. Food is quite yummy. Service very fast. Free wifi but no laptop policy on weekends. A few outlets. I like that this has cafe vibes but has actual meals/food as opposed to just pastries, which a lot of cafes serve. Israeli place with music playing in Hebrew, not too loud so good ambiance for focusing with background cafe/kitchen chatter. Wish it were in a more convenient location but I could see this becoming a favorite! read more

This is a wonderful and nice spot to study and get some work done! I arrived at 8 in the morning, and this spot was bright and welcoming! I walked in, and was greeted by the single employee. He was nice and kind, and was very patient. I ordered a mint tea, which was great! The mint was fresh and strong, and I do recommend if you need something warm and refreshing. There is wifi here (thats relatively fast), and plenty of seating! Again, this is a very solid place to get some work done. I did not try any of the food, but it did look scrumptious. The seating is nice and comfortable (with plenty of couch pillows and soft seating). The shop is very well decorated and well kept. I am a big fan of all the greenery and decorations. Very cute looking shop. If you are looking for instagrammable food/drinks, I do not think this place has them, but if you are looking for a good work cafe on upper east side, I recommend Mellow Yellow (note, the hours do differ from what is listed online) read more

Truly, an incredible experience. You walk into a restaurant that has so much character, the cashier is singing in Hebrew, it felt like I was in Israel. I got the Abu Pita and Limonana, and I absolutely crushed them both in 6 minutes. Must get the charif on the side. It was insaneeee. I want to eat it for every meal.

The guy working was very nice but The music was a bit loud for 8:30am and It did take a while for me to get my iced latte that I got to stay. Not sure if it was because they were short staffed but he was the only one there and there were 4 or 5 people on line and some delivery guys waiting to pick up orders. The Interior of this coffee shop is cozy and cute. My friends drink she says was very tasty. Mine on the other hand nit so much. read more

This insanely bright yellow cafe amidst the sea of boring upper east side buildings was very welcome and a correct indication of the bright vibes inside. It's extremely cozy, with coffee, tea, smoothie, and food selections, which was way more than I was expecting. I wasn't too hungry, so I got an iced chai latte and a mushroom boureka. The employee behind the cashier was so kind and threw in a chocolate croissant for free since they saw I was eyeing it. The iced chai was different from usual chais--it was slightly on the milky side, but I loved the flavor of the spices that were inside and would definitely go for it again. The boureka and croissant also tasted great and were the perfect snack. Cafe vibes are the hardest thing to nail down, especially in a city with tons of cafes, and mellow yellow has that DOWN. It's a great place to catch up with friends while looking around at the decor n such. read more

Recommended by one of my friends in NY. We had breakfast there after a 10mi easy in Central Park. I ordered two soft boiled eggs and a banana+veg smoothie, while he ordered boreka which contained some egg, cheese and sauce. Simply delicious. Price was reasonable except the eggs (which cost me $5!), considering the sizes of the food. The restaurant was quite small though. Anyway we had a good time chatting and eating breakfast there. read more

I straight up LOVE this place. I Love it so much I hate that I love this much. The reason being is that the Chamshuka is so good I've never tried or wanted anything else on the menu.. I'd be willing to gamble and say the rest of the menu is just as delicious. The Owner/Cashier/Singer/Barista is one of the friendliest people I've met in my life. Helpful with the menu, polite, sings along to the background music, and is just filling with the room with great vibes. I don't have much to compare to it as it was a first for me. But their Turkish coffee is delicious and tastes bold! I've never had anything like the Chasmshuka before. It's so rich in texture and the pita along side it is one of the freshest tasting breads I ever had. I've been here 6 times now and it's been the same experience everytime! It read more

Local gem. Love the vibe. And the food is exceptional. Not the cheapest for breakfast ($25 for a shakshuka skillet with feta and iced coffee with oat milk) but it is so worth it. Especially on a Saturday morning Why? First, they're an UES local gem. Second...the staff and atmosphere are friendly and welcoming. And the food is super fresh and amazing! Best pita in town... warm, pillowy and perfect for scooping up. Get into the vibe and enjoy for yourself. read more
