Small but deceivingly filling sandwiches. The combinations are creative and different than other neighborhood offerings. I've been here twice. First time I ordered the bulgogi sandwich, and most recently I ordered the lox. I remembered from the first time that I thought the sandwich was too saucy, so I asked them to go light this time (which they did). I liked that better. While I can't say the sandwiches are my favorite (I can't quite put my finger on it!), I would visit again because my matcha was incredible. I like the space and the ambiance. Seems great to do work or catch up with a friend. Service is quick despite it being busy. read more

Such a quaint little cafe with great sandwiches! I ordered a cappuchino, the Semicolon Original sandwich (SOS), and the bulgogi sandwich to-go. The coffee was solid and both sandwiches were delicious. I had stopped here for breakfast before heading to the airport and saved the bulgogi sandwich for later. Even after sitting for a couple hours and getting a little soggy, the sandwich was still really tasty, which honestly says a lot. All in all, a perfect little breakfast spot! read more

I was doing a 38 mile walk from the top of Manhattan to the bottom and was a little bit hungry and dehydrated. I stopped in to get a mango bingsoo. Creamy and lightly sweet, it has milk shaved ice, fresh mango bits, cheesecake chunks, whip cream and a cracker. It was so good and I enjoyed it sitting outside on a beautiful warm day. They were busy and the staff did their best. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure . read more

An uptown Korean mini-artisanal chain cafe with unique coffees, sandwiches and more with a relaxed vibe. Location: Close to Broadway, this cafe is tucked in on a side street which gives it a relaxed energy with outdoor and solid seating, there are a lot of plants. I like the seats and tables. In the summer, they sometimes leave the doors open so it can get kind of hot inside but the last visit the ac was on, thankfully. Food and Drink: There are a lot of unique options from the semicolon cafe brand which there are a few cafes in NYC and one in NJ. The drinks and food look consistent across the other cafes too. There is the pistachio bomb and pistachio lattes which are special right now. I feel like the special has been on for a while but I like these and the lady matcha. Theresa sandwiches are really where they shine because the wasabi tuna and the BLT are the best ones in my opinion. Theresa sandwiches are consistently good but sometimes the drinks and other items can change based on the staff so it is strikes and gutters but overall good. Service: Everyone is friendly. They do seems to like to stay behind the counter so the seating area is not checked on so much but I would say that is just par for the course at most NYC cafes. Overall: Very solid place with beautiful interior decor with plants, creative drinks and food, slightly erratic quality but overall I am a fan. read more

I've been twice to this cafe and purchased the pistachio latte I've had it hot & iced always very good! It tastes true to the flavor and not like a fake chemical syrup. The service is pleasant and quick from my experience. read more

Needing to caffeinate and to charge my phone, I stopped by Semicolon Cafe last weekend. The cafe is really cute and has a full menu of drinks and food. I had a tea and sat at a table and drank my tea and read my book while enjoying their playlist and vibes. Between all this and the friendly service, too, Semicolon Cafe was a great place for sit and relax a bit. Given its size and setup (outlets galore), I recommend it as a place to sit and read or work or enjoy a snack or coffee with friends. I'd happily return. read more

I came here on Friday and I must say it was great. We choose it because it is a nice place to work from and there WiFi is good. The breakfast was also very good; i ordered the chicken sandwich and a tiramisu latte which was also very good. I have come here before and it was good and I'm glad to know that is still good. The place is nice and is neat. The service is very good; the staff is very friendly and i recommend it. read more

i would classify this as a "hidden gem" in nyc. the vibes here are immaculate with tons of people studying or doing work. the drinks here are also affordable and delicious. iced tiramisu latte : (5/5) - quite literally a tiramisu cake in latte form. it's not super milky and you can taste the coffee's rich flavor. iced lady matcha : (5/5) - a good ratio of matcha and strawberry. especially since the matcha tastes so premium, mix it well. i would definitely be back ! read more

Best Korean-inspired sandwiches!! So fresh and tasty. My favorites are avocado and SOS. While I give 5 stars for the sandwiches, I don't recommend the baked goods; they tasted sort of stale. Coffees are okay. The interior is nicely decorated and there's seating outside. Servers are also friendly. read more

This place is great! The coffee is amazing and so is the food. This was my first time trying a sandwich, I usually go for the small pastries already available. Now it's official, everything in the store is bomb! The ambiance here is quiet because people tend to do work on their laptops but it's comfortable and cozy for a quick talk with a friend if you would like. The area is nice, the park and water line are not too far. I highly recommend coming here if you're a coffee lover. It will not disappoint. The place itself is clean, bright, minimalistic decor. Very modern and chic. Service animals welcome! read more

1/1 Ambience; 1/2 Beverage; 1/1 Service; 1/1 Value Semicolon is a wonderful spot to catch up with friends, do some work, or just enjoy a solid cup of coffee. It is cozy with a warm, inviting, spacious atmosphere brightened by the myriad plants and big windows. There is plenty of seating that wasn't difficult to find even on a late weekend morning. On this occasion, I got the iced tiramisu latte, hoping for a unique experience in terms of specialty flavored coffees. It is a very aesthetically pleasing drink garnished with a dollop of ice cream, the chocolate wafer and shaved chocolate bits. It felt like a treat for the taste buds and certainly the eyes. But, flavor-wise, it was just good and actually lacked a robust coffee flavor, which was disappointing for a tiramisu-flavored drink. The chocolate wafer also became too soggy rapidly. Overall, however, this cafe is very charming and I am definitely going to return to try other menu items and their regular coffee fixtures! My two friends both got sandwiches with their coffees, and both were very satisfied with their food. The staff was friendly, and the prices look like a good value for the quality of food and drinks. read more

I was looking for a comfortable spot to study for my exam in 2 weeks. Yesterday was my first day here and I got a hot caramel latte which was a 9/10 but today i got the same drink and didn't taste as great maybe 6/10. but lemme tell you this coffee is strongggg. The place is spacious and ideal for studying. I loveeee the decor inside- very welcoming and calm. Gets pretty busy around 9-10 am and 12 pm on weekdays but even then still space to sit. The workers are also friendly. The only thing is that the music they had playing was a little loud- gave me a headache and I could hear through noise cancellation. Also they turn off the ac for a while so it gets humid (I have asthma and had to step out!!). Overall love this spot to stop by. Will come here to catch up with friends! read more

I came on a weekday morning and had trouble finding parking so hubby waited outside in the car while I quickly placed an order. It's a cozy, small cafe and there were a few patrons inside. I grabbed a spinach and feta pastry for myself and a guava stick pastry for hubby. I ordered a matcha latte for myself and a matcha bomb (matcha and coffee) for hubby. The pastries were decent but the matcha latte mostly tasted like milk. Fast forward ~4 hours later I'm feeling kinda nauseous but brush it off thinking it's because I'm hungry. However, I felt terrible and projectile vomited several times afterwards and this was the only thing I had consumed previously that day. read more

Semicolon is expanding by the month. I have been to them in lower manhattan but never here. Same quality and product. The avocado sandwich was so good. They perfectly toast the bun and all the ingredients work well together. A little hard to eat but a balanced sandwich. I did find the green tea bitter but all good. Come back for the sandwiches. Next time I am going for the bulgogi. read more

Today I got the Bulgogi sandwich, a strawberry ade and a banana pudding. Bulgogi sandwich: Tender juicy meat, slight sweetness from the sauce, the sauce actually tasted more like a takoyako/okonomiyaki sauce than anything. The bread was nice and fluffy yet slightly crispy good dish. Banana Pudding: The cookie was nice and soft, banana pudding was nice and very creamy, good banana flavor, slightly sweet. Very good treat. Strawberry Ade: It was not what i was expecting, i expected your typical strawberry lemonade combo. This tasted kind of like a mix between a strawberry and sprite, it was bubbly, ok strawberry flavor, it wasn't bad. Overall: Really good place to try out if you are in the area. read more

Such a great spot for a variety of occasions! The coffee is amazing and the food is also. I really like the ambiance of this cafe - it's really beautifully decorated and the volume always seems to maintain a quiet, comfortable and cozy vibe best for studying and working on laptops. I didn't realize that the tiramisu latte actually contains tiramisu in it - pretty neat, but was so decadent!! If you have a sweet tooth you would definitely enjoy it. Took a few sips then just got a black coffee. Next time I would try the matcha they have! I would highly recommend checking this cafe out if you're in the area! read more

Loved this cute lil coffee shop. We ordered an iced caramel specialty latte, cold brew with hazelnut syrup, and the BELT sandwich. The drinks were sweet and tasty, but the real star of the show was the sandwich. It really had no business being that good! The toast was light and airy, the bacon perfectly crisped, the eggs fluffy and savory, and the mustard mayo was the perfect condiment to enhance the sandwich's flavor. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. If you're not feeling up for a sandwich, they also have a great selection of pastries at the front (danishes, muffins, croissants, etc). Def will be coming back again! read more

Ordered delivery from this cafe a few days ago - I was pleasantly surprised! Here's a quick rundown of my order: Bulgogi sandwich: 7/10. Presentation was super cute. They tucked the sandwich in a fitted holder that allowed for clean eating, and I fearlessly devoured it on my white linen sofa. It was a good, stuffed size. The brioche bread was toasted to perfection, and the overall flavor was decent. My only critique is that the bulgogi was kind of dry, and there wasn't much bulgogi sauce. Overall, a pretty solid sandwich - I will try others next time. Tiramisu latte: 8.5/10. One of the better lattes that I have tried around this area that contained delicious, small chocolate chunks and a melted marshmallow inside. This drink is probably for you if you have a sweet tooth. Also makes a perfect dessert. Banana pudding: 10/10. Amazing!!! Literally went to heaven during my first bite. I definitely recommend trying this. The portion is pretty big and definitely shareable between 2 people. So happy to have this cafe close to me, and I'm super excited to try everything on their menu! read more

This was a great experience. A really nice cafe spot to study, to eat, and to just grab a cup of coffee with a friend! It is slightly expensive in my experience, but the food is great! The SOS sandwich was soft and savory, and each bite had me wishing I had another sandwich. I absolutely enjoyed that delight. The bulgogi sandwich also tasted amazing! The presentation of the sandwiches is my favorite, and the bread is puffy and delightful. Both the sandwiches fell apart too easily in my opinion, but was still tasty. The matcha latte was also great! It was not too sweet or savory. Very solid latte. I felt that there was too much ice and too little latte however. I was also shocked to see a bingsoo place in Washington Heights, and the bing soo was quite solid. I am very excited to go back and try new things here. read more

Semicolon is a nice, modern cafe in Washington Heights. I've never dined inside, but they have a great atmosphere for studying alone or chilling with a friend. I tried their Avocado Sandwich for the first time and it was quite tasty. It comes on toasted brioche bread, which was delicious. It has scrambled eggs, grilled corn, lettuce, red onion and avocado inside, with paprika sauce on top. The sauce was a bit much for me, but it was a good sandwich overall. read more

This is a cozy cafe. The cashier was very nice. She was patient with another customer who was indecisive on what to get. The receipt had their wifi password printed on the bottom. Most of the customers were there with their laptops. I enjoyed the large drip coffee I ordered. I recommend sitting away from the plants unless you like to deal with bugs. I kept doing the shooing motion with my hand while I typed with another. read more

Been eyeing this cafe but since it was out of the way, I didn't have to the opportunity to go until recently. We came later in the day around 5-6pm so it was pretty quiet and had plenty of seats. We ordered two sandwiches: bulgolgi and the spicy chicken. Both were delicious and my favorite was the spicy chicken. Sandwiches cost about $10-12 which I thought was fair ish. They were a little smaller then I expected. The drinks we ordered: very berry smoothie and a lady matcha. The smoothie was thick and just alright. The lady matcha was not bad, I mostly enjoyed the strawberry flavors. The edible straw tasted like strawberry candy. Overall, the ambiance was nice and the food tasted good. read more

It took me a while to get the concept of this place.I moved into the neighborhood three months ago I kept passing this café. I'm not a big fan of eggs, and I noticed all of the sandwiches had a scrambled egg included in it. I became curious because this place is always packed full of people. There's always people sitting outside eating, sometimes there's people sitting inside the establishment and I always noticed that there's a line that moves quickly, but there's people constantly lined up to order. Out of sheer curiosity I go in there I order the ham sandwich, I forget the name of it it's listed on the menu but I exclude the egg. I hated it! I couldn't get why people were so gung ho about this place. After a few weeks I went in and I tried coffee. I ordered a medium iced coffee and I loved it. It was perfect I also ordered lavender macaroons which were very delicious. That struck my interest to try to go back and order the BELT sandwich, but this time I kept the egg on it. When I tell you I have not enjoyed a breakfast sandwich like that in so long! It was perfect. The egg was cooked to perfection it had cheddar and some kind of spicy mayo with Romain lettuce on French brioche bread. This is a classic example of you can't knock it until you try it. If you're not a fan of egg, I would suggest that you still try the sandwich it is very good, completely change my mind. Also, it's a small business. right now the place is currently understaffed, please be patient with the people behind the counter, they are taking online orders as well as taking orders inside of the business. They are pretty swamped but they still find a way to provide the best customer service that they can considering, so be nice! read more

Love this place! I have been coming here since I moved around the area a few years ago and have always had a very positive experience. Most recently, I came on a study date with my boyfriend on a Saturday around 2pm. When we arrived, this place was pretty packed with most tables occupied (I truthfully do not come enough to know when their busiest times are but I would guess a weekend day is pretty busy)-- thankfully, we were able to find a nice table on the corner to settle down. We wanted to get some food before starting our studying and they have a pretty nice selection of sandwiches available as well as a few salads and baked goods! I decided to order a small latte w/ almond milk that was very delicious and ~super caffeinated~ since it left me feeling mildly jittery and awake for my studying. My boyfriend got a drip coffee which he liked as well. For food I got the shroom sandwich which is what I always get because I am obsessed and refuse to order anything else. This is so tasty and satisfying and I am pretty sure it is their best sandwich. It comes with perfectly toasted, fluffy, buttery brioche filled with scrambled eggs, arugula, tomatoes, cheese, and mushrooms. All these items give it wonderful flavor and texture. In addition it has little pieces of corn which at first I did not think would add much but they give it little subtle hints of sweetness and texture on each bite. The balsamic vinaigrette and truffle sauce are also to die for and make this seemingly harmless sandwich feel so gourmet! My boyfriend got the chicken sandwich which has similar ingredients but comes with grilled chicken, and a spicy sauce instead which was also very good (but I am strongly biased towards the Shroom not going to lie.) Sandwiches can be a little messy to eat so make sure you get a few napkins from the counter. We were then able to get a few hours of work in since the music was not too loud and the place was fairly quiet, which I appreciated! Overall, this is one of my favorite places to study. As above, their food is pretty amazing, they also have good coffee, a nice ambiance with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, a bathroom, as well as wifi which you can use if you purchase anything. Love the vibes and will be coming back in the future for more study sessions, shroom sandwiches, and baked goods (which I still have to try!)-- Would recommend. read more

They are open for both indoor and outdoor dining. This is a super cute cafe in the Washington heights area and I've been seeing people come in to do work/study here. We ordered the matcha bomb (matcha with an espresso shot) and the tiramisu latte. Both drinks were really good although the tiramisu drink is more like dessert to me (but if you have a sweet tooth, you'll enjoy this drink). We also ordered the bulgogi and chicken sandwich, both were super yummy! The interior of the cafe and the food presentation is really cute! They also have some pastries and dessert on the side. read more

Semicolon Cafe is great. Fair wifi, outlets, nice seating. Pricing is a bit high, but as a business what can they do. I ended up getting my signature cold brew as I always want to be caffeinated and on the go. Great if you like a more milder coffee as their cold brew goes down so easy yet retains its spirit. read more

A lovely Korean inspired cafe with WiFi, a cute aesthetic, and tasty bites. It's a great spot for studying or just taking a break! (Fun fact: they're called semicolon because they want people to "pause" and rest when they come there). We got 3 sandwiches all of which I would get again:) The Shroom had a mushroomy umami taste with a touch of truffle sauce. The Lox was great if you like salmon and dill - great combo. The Chicken was your classic spicy chicken sandwich elevated with their spicy sauce and cheese! We also tried their Mango and Chocolate bingsoo (Korean shaved ice mixed with milk). It's such a light and subtly sweet dessert, 10/10 recommend! read more

The cinnamon bun was not that great (barely any sweet filling). The matcha latte tasted like burnt plastic, which isn't great at all when you need caffeine in the morning. Had to throw it out. The person who rang my order also couldn't bother to give me the correct change. read more

I saw someone post their fluffy egg sandwich on Instagram but didn't bother to ask them where they got it. Two days later as I head to jersey, I spot the logo as I'm waiting in traffic and just had to pull over. Could it be fate? Haha It's a cute little cafe that gives not so pretentious, Starbucks vibes. There were a few people working on laptops and plants hanging around. Also, it was so quiet! I was nervous to even order too loudly. They have an easy to order menu, with pictures of what their sandwiches look like. I went with the bulgogi and it was a hit. I personally am such a fan of egg sandwiches with fresh lettuce and veggies. This did not disappoint. I also got an iced chai to complete my meal that was great too. Prices are fair and service was relatively fast. I'd definitely return here. read more
