Stopped in for an afternoon pistachio latte that did not disappoint. Such a great spot and if I wasn't in a rush, the music and the clean, cozy atmosphere would've reeled me in to stay enjoy my latte. I was able to get a quick video of the barista pouring my latte, she did an amazing job. Highly recommend to stop in. I may do a shaved ice next time. :) read more

Cute casual cafe for a coffee and sandwich, or work/study for a few hours! Ambiance/seating: Lots of seating with an upstairs area. Shouldn't be too hard to find a spot, it's also pretty quiet and there's an upstairs area. I went around 11 on a Sunday, and there was plenty of people eating or having coffee, and working /studying, but not too long of a wait. Coffee: I had a plain latte and my friend has pistachio, both were great! They also have some fancy novelty lattes. Food: The sandwiches were really good! There is a variety of egg sandwiches, lox, veggie, chicken. They were just very small and a bit overpriced. They had some pastries as well. WiFi: I didn't notice if they have wifi- but no laptop specific seating. Price: Sandwiches were a bit overpriced for what you get. Bathroom: Yes!!! read more

I finally made it to this coffee shop. Passed few times I wanted to try it out it had been closed. The vibes in here are chill and there is an upstairs with tables to enjoy your coffee and food at. I did not go upstairs as I took my coffee to go. I did not try any of the food here though from what I saw on the menu it all sounded good. I ordered an iced latte with a little Rose flavoring. When I got it and it did not taste like Rose at all, maybe it was because I asked for one pump of the syrup. Oh well. I did like they had the little circle ice cubes too. Service was ok a little on the slow side but it was only one person working. I would go back though and try out other drinks. read more

4.0 / 5.0 A Korean-style cafe where you can eat fluffy brioche buns! It's not that big, but it's full of toppings so you'll be full! The slightly spicy sauce goes really well with the brioche bun. The staff are friendly and make your order carefully, which is a delight. The store has seating on the first and second floors, and the restrooms are spacious too! Be careful in the summer as the air conditioning can be too strong! ・HAM read more

Went to Semicolon for a post-workout breakfast with a friend recently. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. The food was pretty good - I got a hearty Bulgogi egg sandwhich and an iced coffee. However, the prices are a bit steep for what it is. I will likely come back as it is a unique breakfast spot in my area, but I wouldn't necessarily travel far for it. read more

Two story cafe; interior is a little bland and the tables are not overly clean. Drinks and food takes a while to be prepared. The mango banana smoothie was good. The bulgogi and lox sandwich both had a generous amount of meat and egg. Not sure if it was worth $14, but pretty filling. read more

I went to semicolon cafe right before my hair appointment and I quickly picked up an iced latte and a bulgogi egg sandwich. The bulgogi egg sandwich did take about 15 minutes to make and give to my hands so it was a bit time consuming if you are on the go. The bulgogi sandwich had Scrambled eggs with grilled corn, green leaf lettuce, stem tomatoes, marinated beef, bulgogi sauce, toasted brioche bread. The ambiance is warm, friendly, and inviting. The staff was pretty busy; there were two girls at the front counter taking orders and making the coffee drinks. I like how spacious this cafe is. They have two floors with seating available. Great cafe to have a meetup with friends and even a first date. The sandwich tasted superb, the bulgogi was sweet and savory. It is a little expensive for a breakfast spot but I can vouch that you'll get yummy food from here other than this I have only positive things to say about this establishment. 10/10 recommendation. read more

I've visited this place twice now. The vibe is cute and this coffee shop is nice and spacious. The first time, I tried the lady matcha. It was good but I prefer a stronger, more bitter matcha. This one is so pretty though. With pink popcorn on top so its instagram worthy. On my second visit, I ordered a hot latte instead, and I like it much better. Strong and more to my taste. I also tried the banana bread and it was moist and good. read more

Best cafe I've been to in NYC in my almost 5 years of residency! At almost 800 reviews, it's a bold statement, but very well deserved for Semicolon Cafe. Best lattes I've had the pleasure of tasting. It has a Korean American feel, and the drinks are not too sweet, unlike Starbucks. Everything was perfectly executed - from food to ambiance. It's a very cozy cafe that you could catch up with a friend or have a nice coffee date. The sandwiches here are so delicious - especially the bulgogi one! The bread is so soft and toasted, with great sauce. Will finely come back and either order the lady matcha or pistachio latte along with a sandwich. read more

Ate in 2022: I got their bulgogi egg sandwich while my friend got their lox egg sandwich and tiramisu latte. She liked her sandwich, meanwhile, I thought mine was too sweet. But that was my first time having bulgogi so I did not know that it was going to be sweet lol. Also, the sandwich was kind of bland, wish there was more flavor.

Semicolon has been on my list in other cities but finally got to try in NYC!! For drinks: --Tiramisu latte: Reminded me of a mocha overall but loved how it wasn't too sweet! Also appreciated the espresso to milk to cream ratio! --Pistachio latte: Nutty flavors were prominent without compromising the coffee flavors For sandwiches: --Bulgogi: Meat was well marinated. Eggs came with corn that added some sweetness to the savory background. Appropriate ratio of ingredients. --Mushroom: Heavier on the sauce but I enjoyed it!! Good amount of mushrooms and well seasoned (with the sauce and cheese). You can never go wrong with the arugula mushroom combo! I preferred this one over the bulgogi one! Loved the minimalistic vibes with the painted brick wall and plants throughout. There are two floors for seating. I agree with other Yelpers that lighting isn't great for a cafe but ok for a restaurant. I can see myself coming back for their lattes and for other meet ups! read more

Semicolon Cafe is a super cute spot located in Murray Hill! They offer sandwiches and aesthetic cafe drinks. I've had the bulgogi sandwich before, ordering off DoorDash, and it was delicious. The lady matcha was also yum but definitely on the sweeter side if you want a sweet treat. The only thing is I stopped by in person to order it again and it was a tad shocking to see how the drink was made as the matcha came out of a whipped cream dispenser looking thing. Also quality of the matcha itself could be better. read more

A cute place with nice decor, setup, and music. Been meaning to check out this place and finally stopped in. Bulgogi sandwich was every bit as appetizing as I was expecting it to be, and the pistachio latte was pretty good, although might be slightly sweet aftertaste that could be more than desired for those without a sweet tooth. Saving the Lady Matcha for a little later but I'm sure it will be delicious as well - interesting edible straw that comes with. Will update after. Overall I would give this ~4.5 stars because it is pricy and probably more of a treat day spot in the future (and I think I'd try to make my own bulgogi sandwich at home given the price tag). read more

I love the modern and chic interior design of this cafe - it makes you want to stay and chat longer. I had the SOS sandwich - it was larger than I expected and very filling. I loved the pairing of egg and cheese with the vegetables. I think their sandwiches are very creative, and I'd love to come back and try a sandwich with meat inside next time. Their Lady Matcha is probably one of the best strawberry matcha drinks I've ever had. The matcha was rich, and the strawberry was just the right amount of sweet. The pink popcorn is so cute! The food came out very fast, and the staff are all friendly. read more

This café is really unassuming from the front, but very cute! They have a lot of really nice craft drinks and I didn't have any but they have good sandwiches. They have a lot of seating in the back, you can definitely get your coffee and sit down for a while. They have a really cute wall of exposed brick that is painted white and has different Polaroids of dogs, which I thought was really cute! Tiramisu iced latte: 9/10 I got the tiramisu latte with regular milk and it comes with mascarpone cream on the top and condensed milk along with regular milk and espresso. I loved this drink! It was really sweet which is how I like my lattes. I would highly recommend trying this iced. I am big fan of having cream on top of my lattes, and I did like the mascarpone cream, but I do think it was a little too hard. It sat as a ball floating on the top of my latte, which made it hard to incorporate in the latte and enjoy while I sipped. I wish it was whipped to a creamier consistency and covered the whole top, if that makes. With every sip you would get some cream. If I lived closer to this location, I would totally come here! And I recommend you do the same. read more

Incredible sandwiches (they're more filling than they look) at a reasonable price in a convenient midtown location... I love it! The service is a little bit on the slower side and the ambiance is a little subpar (bright lighting on white walls, tables have stools instead of chairs etc etc) but overall a wonderful little cafe! It's kind of tucked away and hard to find but well worth a visit :) my favorite sandwich is the ham sandwich, which is loaded up with ham and eggs and a delicious sriracha sauce. Yum! read more

This is a cafe that was a few minutes' walk from our Airbnb in New York, so when we wanted to have a quick brunch we decided to check this place out. While it's on the smaller side, it does have some tables inside to sit at after you order your food and it has a nice, bright atmosphere that makes it good for studying/chilling. We placed our orders at the front and we were able to get our food within just a few minutes. I was pretty intrigued by their sandwiches, so we decided to try out their bulgogi and BELT sandwiches. Both of them came with toasted brioche bread, scrambled eggs with grilled corn, as well as lettuce/tomato/onions. The meat in the bulgogi was juicy and tender, while the bacon in the BELT was also quite flavorful. The ingredients all seemed to be fresh, and I have to say that it was a pretty solid brunch! If you're ever in New York and want something quick in the mornings, Semicolon is probably a good bet to try out! read more

Came on a rainy Sunday around 3pm and there were plenty of seatings available. - Hot Matcha Latte: no latte art as shown in other people's photos, and it was lukewarm - Shroom Sandwich: Love the buttery brioche bun however it does get oily and messy as the mushroom juice drips to the bottom. The truffle sauce was quite overpowering, could have done without it. The cafe exudes a minimalistic vibe and it's a large space so you're not cramped sitting next to other people talking or doing work. read more

Loved the ambiance and the food of Semicolon Cafe! There was a lot of seating and there were unique drinks and pastries. 1. Matcha Latte, Tiramisu Latte, Mango-ade, Mango Banana smoothie: (10/10) ALL of the drinks were delicious and well priced. They had a perfect blend of sweetness and options. I would definitely go back to try even more drinks. 2. Bulgogi Sandwich (10/10): Amazing sandwich! It is so soft and moist. The flavor is amazing and it fills you up with just one. The sandwiches are about deli prices. 3. BELT Sandwich (10/10): Amazing. This tastes like an elevated BLT because of the bread and the egg. It is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. This place has a really great vibe for both breakfast and lunch. It is a café that I frequent often for both the food and prices. The staff were also very nice and friendly. read more

Enjoyed the spicy mayo sauce, which gives it a kick. The veggies were fresh as well and the onion went great with the sandwich. I also got the tiramisu latte and omg best thing I've drank.

I first found this place through TikTok, where people were hyping it up in Italy. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.

THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here after a long day doing booth duty at a summit and was starving from not eating the entire day. Fortunatley the place was pretty quiet since it was 2pm and I got my orders in. For sandwiches, I ended up getting the Favolosa and the Italiana. The favolosa had a delicious artichoke cream and salami that was a banger. The italiana had all your great italian cured meats as well as a truffle cream sauce that made the umami bomb even more umami. So good! THE FINAL BAMBOO: The two sandwiches were around $45, a little pricier on the sandwich side but man are they delicious. I'll definitely be back when I'm in NYC.

Here I am…read more The legendary Florentine sandwich shop achieved global fame by earning some of the highest praise in food journalism for its massive, fresh-baked schiacciata sandwiches. 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). It was good, but I will likely fuggedaboutit. 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.

But we ordered one at this location and the person preparing used a squeezer bottle for the Calabrian chili paste/oil and soaked the sandwich. We could barely eat it.

We gave them feedback and asked for more burrata and they said they would have to charge extra. Even tho we showed them how little there was in the sandwich . We will not be back to this or any other shop in this chain. Bad food. Bad service. Bad combination.

I know it's in a very busy area with a lot of tourists, so I won't really dock them on that. I got the Shanghai spring rolls and the pork soup dumplings, and both were very good. The soup dumplings were actually quite large, but the spring rolls are pretty small. Came out to over 20 bucks, which is reasonable but more than it was. A stirfry noodle dish is like $25 now! On that note, it's really nice inside and fun to sit at the "bar" and watch them make the dumplings. A great option if you're in the area and have a craving!

It's a pretty solid lunch spot for during work and this just happened to be a few blocks from my office. I thought this spot would look like a hole-in-the-wall spot, but the space is actually decent with a full dining area. They do have a lunch menu, which is in the last page of the menu. Why they hid it all the way in the back, I have my assumptions and suspicions. I had to get an order of soup dumplings here so I got the Crab Soup Dumplings ($15). The skin is a bit thicker than other spots, but that means the skin ain't going to break on you easily. And do be careful how you bite into it, as the first one I bit into, the soup splattered all over my shirt and pants. Overall tasted great. Soup dumplings was not going to fill me up along, so I got something off of their lunch menu and settled upon Orange Chicken w Brown Rice ($18.50). Chicken was white meat, which is battered and deep fried. It says it was spicy, but it really wasn't. Comes with a vegetable spring roll and a choice of rice, which makes this a pretty decent lunch deal for $20. Menu prices are cash prices. If you pay with a credit card, they will slap a 2% processing fee. Overall, service was pretty decent as well. Would come back again for lunch.

We all chose different sandwiches and they were ready pretty fast. Since the shop itself is not huge, we landed a small space at the window bar with two stools and some standing room. After being in a car and on a flight and in another car all morning, we weren't mad about the standing part. We were all able to share and sample each sandwich, and honestly, we were not disappointed. We were all full and happy when we weren't finished, so what more could we want for a relatively quick NYC meal? Being under the plaza, the restrooms were outside the shop but very close by so we were able to wash hands and such before journeying out into the wild. I would definitely stop back by again on another trip! The guys and I all gave Alidoro's two thumbs up - so 8 thumbs total, if you're counting.
