Comfortable neighborhood spot for coffee and a sandwich ... or pastry! Friendly and attentive service. Masks required inside. No indoor dining. Patio was lovely with fresh foliage. Food is fresh and flavorful. This was a bit more pricey than I anticipated, however since everything tasted great, it was worth every penny. We enjoyed dirty chai lattes with our BLT and bacon, egg & cheese biscuit. The chocolate croissant was fresh and flaky. We will definitely return and want to say KUDOS to your superb staff! read more

This is a great working spot. Good vibes and low key energy. Lots of spaces to sit and hang out. Tried the Cajun grits which were tasty, the smoked salmon bagel was also very good. Staff was helpful and kind, and the food came quickly. Ends up being a little pricey but what can you expect it's Manhattan. They have a good sized covered outdoor area as well. Would recommend! read more

My favorite part of this business was the folks at the counter: friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Frankly, the food could have not so great and I still would have enjoyed it because of the friendly welcome I received when I went. I'm knit picking because I like my croissants made a particular way, flaky and not so starchy. Theirs was a miss for me. I enjoyed their drip and the space is just so pleasant to be in. I would go back any time. read more

Great new coffeeshop in the neighborhood. I feel like this area of 7th and 8th Avenue have been missing this. It's cozy, the staff is pleasant, and the decor feels like Harlem and highlights the history of this historical neighborhood. As of right now the space does not have its own WiFi, but you can connect to the Link hub outside WHICH I am not crazy about. I don't really consider Link to be secure so if you have your own mobile hot spot I would recommend that instead. They do offer food as well which I cannot wait to check out. Update: THE SHRIMP PO' BOY IS THE BOMB! read more

Great food, kind staff, and good music! Perfect place to get work done or meet a friend for coffee!

Nobody messing with this spot. I love it here !!!! The art, the details and how well it blends in with the Harlem Community. Every restaurant and local spot should really think about the people it serves and the historical content upon which they are vesting their business in. NBHD did an amazing Job. It is a regular coffee shop with a twist. The gold ensembles, the Obamas painting. Let me talk about the service. The food is fresh and the service is just truly at the top of my most favorite experiences. There is a woman who works in this spot and she's just so so happy always and greets everyone. I so appreciate her. She must be protected at all Cost. My favorite is the chai latte and the blt combo. This is where it's at. I wish it turned into a bar at night ! I think they would have to kick me tf out. read more

I was influenced by @seeksatiation and @domnthecity to explore coffee shops that are in uptown. I'm so glad I came here Saturday afternoon. While I didn't dine in, there was plenty of seating around either small tables or long bench style to settle in for the afternoon. There are also cozy outdoor (enclosed) seating area as well. The menu has a wide variety of teas and coffees as well as brunch options to choose from. Service was pretty quick. I had a medium iced latte and fresh almond croissant. The latte was was the perfect amount of espresso and milk. Often places leave you with more milk or way too much ice so the drink is watered down. The almond croissant was sweet and fluffy, and a great size. While waiting for my iced latte I spied a basket of fresh plain croissants I suspect they were for the many sandwich options of the menu. I can't wait to come back and try one. read more

They forgot items I paid for and sent me this disgusting piece of idk what. I ordered a pastrami and this is burnt to me. They also added cheese when I specifically asked for no cheese as I'm allergic. I'm very depressed and angry at myself for not being able to get up and cook a meal. This just made things worse for me. Unacceptable. read more

NBHD - Burnt Pastrami and egg biscuit - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Came here on a Sunday to meet with a friend. I can tell that this is a neighborhood favorite based on how many ppl were coming in. The menu offers a lot of choices so there is something for everyone. The flavors were delish. I actually want the sausage biscuit now as I'm typing about it lol. They also offers outdoor seating. I really liked the black art on the walls and pictures of public figures. For my next visit I want to try the Chipotle chicken sandwich. Next time you're in harlem support this black owned business. read more

I LOVE the food from this place!!!! And there is nothing like it nearby! Great price for the egg and cheese on brioche roll as well! Highly recommend! read more

NBHD is a Harlem get and I'm not sure how I was existing without it. I start my day with the Owners and an amazing menu. I would recommend the spinach quiche, turkey sausage sandwich, BLT, & the shrimp po boy. The pastries are endless so honestly I can't choose. You must check this place out if you come to Harlem. -Happiest Customer read more

Great Atmosphere, Friendly Staff, good coffee. A great place to just relax or catch up with friends.

I really liked the vibe. I went with a friend when it was still cold out. We sat in the outdoor seating area. Unfortunately, we didn't get much from the heater, but we probably chose the wrong table. I definitely want to go back. read more

Love this place! Everyone is so friendly & the vibe is so chill; it's a nice getaway from my hectic day. I highly recommend their egg & cheese on delicious brioche! Such a great price for so much food, especially during these times when money is tight. Love their lattes, coffee & chocolate chip banana bread. But truly, it's the staff & atmosphere that bring me back time & time again. Thank you for the joy & yumminess you being to the community! read more

Excellent breakfast sandwiches. Community hotspot. Service can be a little slow, so give yourself plenty of time. It's part of the charm.

We passed by this corner cafe all the time and it always has some nice chill vibe going on. Recently we decided to go in and we sure will be coming back. Everyone was friendly and fun! The black bean burger: delicious. You could just feel how fresh it was and it had a house-made mayo to die for! Something important to point out is that a lot of people from the neighborhood come in and all seem to be really at ease and friendly. You can feel a sense of community going on which is really cool and important to maintain. So keep it on with the great food and vibes. read more

My husband put me on to this place a few weeks ago. It has become my go to spot for getting work done throughout the week. The staff is super friendly, the coffee is tasty, the food is good (try the shrimp po boy), the decor is nice and the wifi is consistent. Why would you go anywhere else? Almost forgot to mention the music. They play a little bit of everything and the selection is fantastic! read more

I'm so glad that fellow YES member Dom T. recommended this place. I wasn't hungry so I only grabbed their signature Brulee and had it made with Oat Milk. It was sooooooooooooooo good. I really like this place and I can't wait to bring my boo here since he absolutely loves coffee. I look forward to trying the Short Rib Grilled Cheese but the pictures are mouthwatering. Welcome to the neighborhood NBHD. So glad to spend my money in a wonderful Black Owned establishment. read more

I've loved everything I've tried here. The sausage egg and cheese biscuit it a must. It's so good, I have to convince myself NOT to get one everyday. Chicken sausage is the way to go with it. You'd never know it was chicken. Breakfast sandwich fans, if you're in the area, don't miss your opportunity to try this one out. read more

Love this place. Great vibe, coffee drinks, healthy & delicious & great quality food, and of course excellent service. Overall one of my favorite spots to go to. read more

So I don't usually write reviews on places but I just had to today. Someone told me about this cafe & how it's black owned, I'm all for supporting black owned businesses so I decided to come by and check it out for my self. Upon walk in the place is cute from the outside & the cafe is beautiful with nice art on the walls. The baristas are welcoming & nice. I ordered a side of scrambled eggs which came out extremely oily, I ordered a side of tater tots , turkey bacon & side avocado. Usually when a place advertises side avocado I am expecting sliced avocado on the side. What came out was a small cup of guac with seasoning ... if you are going to have a menu that advertises side avocado people are expecting actual side avocado not a small cup of guac with seasoning I didn't ask for... I'm also a barista the coffee is good but the food not so much. read more

NBHD has become my go-to spot! NBHD has a very reasonably priced menu and all sorts of coffee! I haggle recommend the egg/cheese/turkey bacon breakfast sandwich and the pulled beef po boy--amazing sandwiches. Also, their Illy nitro cold brew is the absolute best cold brew I've ever had! My only wish is that they'd change their menu to an all-day menu. Tell me at 12:30 PM that I can't order an egg/cheese sandwich citing "food prep" as the reason is just a bad practice, having spent years working in the F&B biz. Overall, my favorite and most welcoming spot in my new neighborhood read more

There is NO reason this place should ever have less than 5 stars. The ambiance? Perfect. The food? Even better. The people who work here/ do work here (staff + customers)? THE BEST. My new go to place :) read more

Great hang out coffee shop! Perfect place to get some reading done or catch up with a friend.

Conveniently located on a prominent yet fairly quiet corner, NBHD has been a welcomed newcomer to Harlem. It's cozy but with plenty of seating, a rare luxury in NYC. They serve ILLY coffee (personally not the biggest fan but it does the job) as well as a pretty substantial breakfast and lunch menu. The cafe is clean and well maintained by a friendly staff. Free WiFi access is through the LinkNYC hub directly in front of the cafe storefront. Looking forward to being a regular customer. read more

Food always good and a great ambience even better customer service I'll recommend to everyone

Y'all should probably tell people you're at capacity before they order. Really annoying to be told after you've ordered when the only reason you ordered something was to sit down and do work. read more

This spot has very cute decor, but their staff lets the kitchen door open while they're cooking onions. Our eyes were tearing up so much that we had to leave early. We asked if the kitchen door could be closed but we were ignored. *also a note that the music is very loud, so if you're planning to work on your laptop it might be hard. read more

Hands down my favorite breakfast spot. When I want to treat myself, I always get the beef bacon BLT on a baguette. The baguette is soooo fresh, light and crispy and the bacon, lettuce and tomato are always so fresh. The house herb Mayo brings it all together. The coffees and pastries are great too. I don't know what I'm gonna do when I go back on a diet lol read more

Honestly 3 stars is pretty generous based on my experience. The coffee was good, the employees were nice, the space is lovely. But the bacon egg & cheese biscuit I ordered was awful and it took over 15 mins to make. The beef bacon was burnt, it's very small for the price, just not good. I think the place worth visiting, I just happened to have an unpleasant experience my first time. read more
