To everyone and anyone out there looking for GF food...come here and don't look back. I LOVE my friends at TAP NYC. I make the trip from DC to hit up all my fav GF places and this is at the top. Not only are their crepes delicious and flavorful, but they have amazing cheese bread and acai bowls. The menu is simple yet still plentiful. The staff is kind and friendly.I have had many different crepes and the caprese is one of my favorites. Then again, you can never go wrong with Nutella. Another thing i love about this place is their coffee. They also love the plant and offer eco-friendly utensils. The only reason I take one star off is the lack of a restroom. I know its NYC and it can get crazy but coming in.... to have coffee and crepes, it would be nice to have a place to wash your hands and powder your nose. Will always be back when I am in town. Shout out to the entire team here! read more

Tapioca crepes? Never heard of them either until this place popped up in the neighborhood. Looks like styrofoam but taste pretty good. The little tapioca balls on the outside of the crepe were crunchy and the inner part of the crepe was kind of chewy like a mochi consistency. Sounds weird I know but just try it. I got the Mushroom crepe. The flavors were really nice and exceeded what I was expecting which is great since it was kinda pricey. I also got a Matcha Latte which I will never get from here again. It was so bitter. If you like bitter lattes then go for it. If not, go to Sensual Bean down the street because their lattes got it going on. Workers could work on being more friendly since it's not like this is a cheap place to eat or get a drink. read more

I'm going to start by just putting it out there that the tapioca was not my thing. It's a little bit like eating a delicious styrofoam taco, and not as tasty or as natural a crepe substitute as other gluten-free options like buckwheat. Having said that, tapioca crepes are the name of the game here, and all in all I think this is a great little cafe. Service: 4 stars Staff were warm, friendly, and helpful! You order and pay, which I personally prefer because you're never stuck waiting on the check. I noticed on the receipt that they gave me a milk substitute that I did not ask for (but didn't mind), which is why I chose 4 stars instead of 5. Food: 4 stars Well prepared, fresh ingredients. Menu is not diverse, but they accommodate substitutions with a smile! Portion sizes were perfect for me, and I felt very satisfied. Coffee: 5 stars I had a delightful Cafe au lait, and they provided a yummy little nibble with it. Ambience: 4 stars Cozy seating with cheerful colored pillows. A bar seating section by the window that looks like a nice place to people with. Some seats are difficult to get in and out of, but it was not too busy and we had our choice of seating and were able to choose a comfortable spot. Great playlist, audible but not loud enough to intrude on conversation. I'd definitely say it's worth checking out! See what you think of the tapioca. :) It's a fun experiment! read more

Excellent food and great ambience! Smoothie and Açaí bowls seemed more natural with less sugar than some other places so the taste of the fruit sang, rather than the sugar. "Mini" sandwich was not "mini"! read more

Awesome cafe! I love the texture of the tapioca crepes. We had the pollo and the mucheeseroom. Both were really tasty. We also had a cheese bread, and it was perfectly squishy. We finished up with a sweet crepe, and they let us do half dark side and half no regrets. I'd recommend just getting the dark side. The no regrets is just way too much peanut butter. read more

I got a smoothie and it pretty good, but very overpriced. My friend got an egg wrap, and that looked AMAZING. Definitely a fun, hip atmosphere though! read more

Sooo happy to find a gluten free Brazilian shop! The cheese bread is delicious. I always crave it and now finally have a place to come and sit and enjoy a few pieces! read more

It's great if you order in person but whenever you get Uber eats they always miss items or in other words they basically steal from you.

I'm so happy to have TAP(ioca) near me. I've already tried almost all their tapiocas and I also love the brigadeiros. I go there or order at least once a week. I really love them! read more

Ordered the lox crepe and the carnitas crepe. I LOVED the crepe itself and the texture. It is very unique and its not something that you could create at home or even buy in a grocery store. It is soft like any sweet crepe you would imagine, but it has a spongy texture. Second, the presentation was very beautiful. Definitely make sure to look through the pictures of it on yelp. Lastly, any of the combinations posted on the menu could be in a bagel, but the crepe is so light and airy. I think of it as a lighter alternative to a bagel. I personally would love to eat this on the daily, but it cost me roughly $30 for two crepes. The carnitas crepe came about to around $13.75 and the lox is roughly $11. I didn't order any drinks. It could be priced a bit more reasonably as it sells itself more as a quick service place. Lastly the service staff were very polite and professional. They were smiling and my food was served pretty fast. read more

4.5 stars - great Brazilian cheese bread (and they even heat it up for you!). Texture is soft and mochi-like with yummy strong cheese taste The chocolate chip cookie was meh - the taste was honestly below expectations but the nice part about it was that the cookie was soft and chewy which was satisfying read more

such a unique spot for delicious food! the tomato and mozzarella sandwich was fantastic, and their smoothies are so refreshing. the staff was so kind and happy. the bread for their sandwiches is almost like a chewy tortilla, so it feels more like a quesadilla than a sandwich. definitely worth a try! read more

This review does not reflect the food so much as the service. I've been here multiple times and everytime I've received extremely slow, inattentive service resulting from short staffing issues and poor workflow. There is no staff member dedicated to taking orders, so you will often have to wait upwards of 5 minutes or more before someone behind the register will appear to take your order. And then after your order is place expect to wait far longer than necessary for a simple acai bowl or smoothie. read more

*leaning more towards 3.5* I am a fan of trying new, interesting food items, so when I read that this place sold gluten free tapioca crepes I figured I needed to go give them a shot. I will admit, it looks like a styrofoam mess, but after the initial "what the..." shock it's surprisingly good. I had the crepe with lox; delicious and with a good amount of lox inside. I have gone back to try others, but fancy the lox crepe the most. I tried both their matcha and latte, and I didn't like how the made the matcha (not enough matcha so it essentially tastes like milk -- not acceptable for the cost). The latte was pretty good; the coffee was smooth and creamy. Their açaí bowls are not something I would ever get again. They pre-make them, there is little at all for toppings, and the consistency is not at all what I am used to (I am a Californian which means I eat these an unhealthy amount when I am back home, but I do live in NYC now). I tried this twice, hoping the first time was a fluke, but, nope. Also, the cost for what you get is just not worth it. There is another place on the UWS which much better açaí bowls (Broadway and 86th). I do return for the lox crepes and lattes on occasion now, the rest I would suggest to be careful with. read more

OK... So I wish you could give half stars because I would've given a 3 1/2. I had a vegan crêpe & the stuff inside the crêpe Was fine... Zucchini avocado Etc but personally I was not fond of the rough texture and the consistency of the tapioca crêpe. Perhaps it's an acquired taste. The price seems a little expensive but with the lunch special you get a juice and a side salad so that sort of makes it reasonable. A fresh juice alone is probably five or six dollars in most places. I would get the dressing on the side if possible next time as it was way too much for me. I don't like a salad that needs swimming lessons. I also wasn't thrilled with the fact they don't have a bathroom. Didn't even know this was legal except I guess they have a sink which gets around the regulations. read more

I wish I took pictures of what I ordered but it was that good I didn't get to! Must try the plain cheese bread! I've never had acai bowls but it was good, very sweet but not sure if that's normal. I will say the meat was a bit salty for me but I eat a very low sodium diet so that may be why. I just took some meat out of my food and left a little and problem fixed read more

Really nice first visit! Came here to escape the rain and get some work done w free wifi. Eric the barista is terrific! He got me an almond milk off menu & was reasonably priced! Atmosphere clean and serene. Would be happy to chill here a while. Menu looks delish & healthy. Saw some customers eating an açaí bowl - can't wait to try. Mushroom mix is popular too. They have gluten free! read more

This place has some of the best matcha I've been able to find on the Upper West Side! It's not too sweet, which for me is usually the issue. They offer mill substitutes as well. The space is trendy, with little succulents at every table. It also has plenty of seating and the wifi works, so it's a good spot to get some work done. read more

They have AMAZING breakfast food. Love the tapioca wrap and parmesan crust, egg wrap and mini panini.... and cheese bread is soooo good too. Their avo egg, tomato & mozzarella (add organic egg) and acai were delicious. Their acai texture was very different, we loved it. The people who work there are very friendly and very considerate. I can't wait to return!!! read more

Searched gluten free restaurants on the upper west side and Tap NYC popped up. I'm so happy that it did, because I'm so obsessed with this place. I have celiac, so the struggle to find gluten free is real, even in the NYC. I had the cheesy jalapeño bread and the mushroom mix crepe. It was absolutely delicious, so inventive, and the staff was super friendly. I'm only in town for 2 days, and I'm definitely coming back. read more

As a Brazilian myself, this place reminds me of Salvador, where the tapioca was born. The staff is very nice and the açaí bowls are delicious. Wait! I forgot about the mouthwatering pao de queijo and carrot cake. The tapiocas are super fresh, and there's a variety of savory choices ranging from vegan to protein-packed. Definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of South American food! read more

I hosted a foodie event at Tap NYC and it was awesome!! Roberto, the owner, and his staff were all super helpful and knowledgeable on how to make the perfect tapioca crepe!! My favorite is the pollo with added pesto!! I've made them at home too with their tapioca that you can purchase at the store and online and it's just as delish!! Also they have a great vibe in the shop, outlets close to the tables, awesome Irving farm coffee, matcha and Oatly oat milk!! Super great spot on UWS!! Check it out!! Elia @feedyoursister read more

I have been here since the day they opened and one of my favorite dishes is the tapioca!! It has such an authentic taste exactly the way it is in Brazil! At Tap though, the tapioca dough is made from different favors which makes it even more tastier. I also tried the Açai which is a 10/10 I would say. Very flavorful , fresh, consistent... . Finally a place where I can enjoy a Açai witch reminds me of home. Besides all that, I love the staff! They are always friendly and nice especially my favorite Açai chef, Antonio!! Obrigada !!!! Boa sorte Laiz Casagrande read more

It's a little slow in service but the Brazilian soft truffles and moist chocolate cake compensated for the delay. I will try their crepes at another time. I like their grab n go dessert stand. read more

I was looking for good lunch places in the area and I saw this suggested and decided to take a look. It was only a 5 minute walk from work so why not. Initially I thought this was a breakfast place with the crepe specials being advertised but my god how it all changed when I looked at the menu. I decided to get the $10.90 Lunch 1 (11am-3pm) Tapioca crepe filled with chicken, mozzarella, tomato, a side of salad and Mango peach iced tea. Total came out to $12.96 with tax which is not too bad for what I got. The crepe was amazing and my made my mouth water with each bite. I was mind blown about how they made tapioca into a crepe form... which is also gluten free... and delicious. Definitely coming back to this place again and I highly recommend it to anyone near Lincoln Center especially to those tourists wanting a bite to eat after seeing a Kelly and Ryan taping. read more

Had the anytime crepe with spinach, pretty tasty. Has a good crunch and structure, just a little thick. I enjoyed the Brazilian cheese. I'd like come back and try a pitaya smoothie and maybe a sweet crepe. read more

It's always fun to stumble upon a unique restaurant in NYC, and I'm not talking about a place that slings out ostentatious $18 milkshakes or mini-pizzas on slices of pizza. I mean...something truly unique! Say hello to Tap NYC! I saw Tap NYC pop up on the UWS over the summer, curious to try it, but I really didn't cross paths with it often. A friend invited me to try some of their crepes one evening, and I could not pass up an opportunity to finally swing through. I've seen the photos, curious how the white crispy-looking crepes would actually taste and feel in my mouth. There is a large array of fillings, and it was hard to pick, but I went with the "go hard or go home!" mentality and opted for their carnitas crepe! Meat, cheese, vegetables filled a shell that was light and crispy yet amazingly held its own even though it was filled to the brim! The entire crepe was fantastic and more than filling; I could barely finish mine! The meat was tender and the cheese was indulgent, holding everything together very nicely. Not only do I look back to coming back to Tap NYC for more crepes (and matcha!), I got a box of their tapicoa flour to try my hand in cooking some crepes for myself! Wish me luck... ;-) read more

The food is so good here - and terrific for keto diet fans. Lots of flavor - the tuna egg wrap is excellent! A must try.

Tap NYC has the best Açaí bowl that I've ever had!!!! The balance of the açaí and banana is perfect. It does not have an overwhelming banana taste. The fruits on top are super fresh and complement the bowl very well. I think the best part of the bowl is the homemade granola. It is literally the best granola I've ever had in my life!!!! There are lots of nuts and dried fruits. It's super crunchy (but not too crunchy that it cuts your mouth) and extremely well seasoned. I wish I could buy this granola on its own and eat it for the rest of my life. I highly recommend their açaí bowl anytime of the day during any season! I can't wait to try the tapioca wraps that they serve. The next time I go, I will make sure to order it. It seems super interesting. read more

Can't say I loved my food or the vibe here....I ordered the tofu crepe. Honestly there's no comparison between a real crepe and one with tapioca seeds all over it. The latter just doesn't taste as good. My latte was eh. Something hot on a cold afternoon. Chick pop music annoying. read more

I can't believe I just paid $3.5 for their "homemade lemonade", it is just lemon water with two mint leaves inside! What a rip off. It's crazy sour too, it's almost too painful to drink. I asked the staff if it's supposed to be this sour, he looked very confused and said yes. So now I'm confused. I seriously just Google lemonade recipes and every single one of them requests sugar! Excuse me, let me try that again. EVERY LEMONADE recipe requires sugar! In fact, it's the second ingredient on the recipe! Right after water! Their lemonade has 0 sugar in it! I'm so pissed! Its so sour to a point that is unbearable! Anyway, I won't be coming back ever. Their tapioca crepes were just okay. Nothing to write home about. read more

Love this place ! Their lunch menu is $13+tax which is a crepe, side salad and a juice. Will definitely come here again and try all the other crepes :) read more

tap - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

This is by far one of my favorite coffee spots on the upper west side. The staff are all very knowledgable and welcoming. Once you begin to come here often it feels very "homely" and comfortable. Instead of "you again??"( in an annoyed way) It's, "YOU" (with a happier approach). I've tried a few of their tapioca crepes and my favorite is the Vegan, even though I am not vegan. The eggs Benedict crepe is also really delicious during breakfast. I really want to try the sweeter crepes but haven't gotten around to it yet. They also have combo deals for breakfast which include coffee/tea or orange juice for around $6.50 (??) I think, I can't remember haha. The Acai bowls are fresh and filling, it's NYC so they come at a cost. I can never finish mine because its so filling! They distribute a loyalty punch card where if you buy 9 drinks, you get your 10th free. Make sure to ask for one. I've filled mine up a few times. The wifi is fast, but the only downfall is their bathroom problem (well not so much a problem in the gross way), ask them to explain to you and they'll tell you why. I think it's unfair people give this place a bad review because of that. read more

Beware - they don't have a restroom for customers who are eating inside! They refused my toddler to use their restroom today saying they don't have a restroom for customer, only for employees. And we didn't come in to use the restroom, but to eat there. I don't know any other business who wouldn't allow a toddler to use their restroom. read more

Goodness, what a disaster. I could tell the staff weren't feeling confident but was still surprised when they lost my order. (This is a small cafe -- I was standing by the counter!) When my crepe arrived, more than twenty minutes later, I literally couldn't eat it. Like tasteless gum. The coffee was good, thankfully. read more

Best açaí I have ever had in my entire life. I'm telling you, I try not to cry on Christmas and New Years and other public holidays when they are closed because this stuff is so good. Their granola is excellent too. Sometimes the fruit is not so fresh but today, wow everything was perfect . read more

tap - Monster Acai Bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I loved Tap NYC and came weekly for an acai bowl. However, they've since changed the acai recipe and now it's overly sweet and artificial. I'm so disappointed! I've really tried to like the new recipe (that comes pre-prepared out of a machine similar to soft serve ice cream), but it's so artificial I can't get through it. The cheese bread is truly delicious, but I am so disappointed in this change to the acai bowl. read more

Great place! Probably the best tapioca I ever had (even in Brazil), vegetarian/vegan friendly also gluten free. The cheese bread is made in house and it also worth it, friendly staff. read more
