Think Coffee is a convenient spot in SoHo, right in the middle of where I usually shop. The location is nice and central, yet not overly crowded considering the area. It's definitely a bigger space compared to some of their other branches, which makes it easier to find a seat. I've stopped in a couple of times to hang out, grab a quick breakfast, and get some work done while waiting for the stores to open. I had their breakfast burrito and it was decent nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. The cafe is clean, the staff is friendly, and service is quick. The crowd is a mix of locals, tourists, and shoppers which is exactly what you'd expect in SoHo. read more

Stopped by for a quick pick me up and it wasn't too busy. The workers looked right at us as we walked in but didn't say anything. We luckily found an empty table and placed our stuff down. There was several people hanging out on their computers. We looked over the menu and decided on two drinks. One hot graham cracker latte and one iced graham cracker latte with soy milk. Ordering was awkward as the worker did a lot of staring and didn't speak.... The drinks took about 15 minutes or so and they called them out when ready. My iced drink was pretty good and not too strong. My friend said he didn't care for the hot one. Bathroom was clean. read more

Got spanish latte which supposedly has condensed milk but i harfly tasted any. However the latte was roasty, nutty with a nice aroma. This leads me to believe their coffee is prob solid. The cafe is almost like a cafeteria & huge with lots of tables & seats. $5.50 for a small cup of latte was a bit excessive. As others mention the young staff were not very engaging & more interested at themselves. There is only 1 bathroom. read more

I loved the ambience of this place! The indoor seating was plentiful, and I enjoyed how clean the aesthetic felt. In terms of drinks, I also really enjoyed my iced vanilla latte -- it tasted really good for some reason compared to other vanilla lattes I've had before. On the other hand, I was pretty disappointed by the iced matcha latte with oat milk, which really just tasted like oat milk and lacked a strong matcha flavor. read more

Horrible experience. Came to buy coffee at 9am on Tuesday, but needed to use the bathroom first. The person behind the counter ( refused to give me his name ) was having the greatest attitude cause I said I wanted to use bathroom before I purchase my coffee. He would not give me the code to bathroom. I asked barista and he gave me the code. When I got back to the counter to order coffee and asked for his name he refused as well as refused selling me the coffee. With the most snarky attitude, he said have a good day and walked away. That was my experience at this coffee shop. Be aware , you maybe judged, refused service and be treated with the worst attitude just because you want to use bathroom. read more

Coffee: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Ambience: 5/ 5 | Value: 4/5 I have been Think Coffee before but at a different location. I remember liking their coffee and it was the same this time. I had a vanilla latte and a chai muffin. As soon as I walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of space there was. The coffee is pretty solid and the muffin was great, just a little too sweat for my own liking. The staff was nice, very nonchalant, but still nice. They also gave their leftover food away at the end of the day, so nice little perk. I came for a cheeky afternoon coffee, and will be back for a study date with myself soon. read more

I ordered at 11:07 am at the soho/Broadway branch. and did not get our bagels till 11:32am while orders after me are being processed. We noticed other custimers are asking for their refund. The girl (pictured) behind the counter had an attitude and told me she would check on it but still stool in front of the cashier. I asked if she going into the kitchen ... Asked her her again, if she wanted my name and like a smart ass asked, stared at me "whaT is your name ?" Then she walked into the kitchen. There was no need for attitude and bad customer service. There is a need for common sense. She needs to be removed from this branch or have customer service training. The girl making the drink apologized and asked for my name and proceeded to the kitchen inquiring on my order. We asked if there was a manager, and the tall male cashier said there was no manager. But another girl was supervising (good). . who was preparing all the drinks and running in and out of the kitchen and attentive. We are locals and are disgusted by how this branch is run. I would like to talk to a corporate representative read more

It's a large space with ample seating and I've never had trouble getting a seat during my weekday visits. A nice assortment of pastries and sandwiches. However, customer service definitely needs improvement. Often, the employees are talking to each other in the corner and always seem a bit ambivalent about having to greet and take a customer's order. One or more of the employees is always hanging out texting on their phone instead of being attentive to customers. They also don't listen very well. I always request "to stay", and every time, they continue to hand me a throwaway cup and my pastry in a paper bag instead of on a plate. read more

The dessert here is so inviting and pretty. Especially the mousse based ones that look like fruits…read more I got the mango, orange, and the one that looks like a mushroom. The orange has a base made of chocolate Rice Krispies. All of them have more fruity filling than the mousse. They are very fragile. I recommend eating there if you can. Finding can be a challenge because it's busy and there aren't many seats. I got mine to go just to be taken to the park across the street . The mushroom kind are totally ruined. It has strawberriy jelly and it was a mess. The orange one was almost ruined too. The mango has some diced mangoes. I devoured three of them instantly. Definitely come back to try more.

There was no place to sit down because of how busy it was but the staff kept the line moving quick enough. The place still seemed reasonably stocked with their desserts and treats, despite the late afternoon time that I arrived. I ordered 4 different treats to go and they're packed in small box individually. Unfortunately, they didn't quite stay intact during my trek back to my hotel and were tumbled around in the boxes. Nonetheless, the taste and flavors held up well and even after a few days in the fridge. The yuzu daisy has this vivid pastel yellow-pink base and adorable gelatinous yellow gem atop a white flower. The yuzu gives a subtle infusion of tart that is balanced out by the light delicate skin texture of the rest. Sitting atop a thin round rice crispy. I loved the red mushroom one which is a creamy pink mousse inside the cap. The stalk is a thin porcelain-white chocolate light base also filled with a rich cream. Adjacent are two cute little tree nuts. The orange and mango have such vivid colors and are aesthetically pleasing too. Just like the previous ones, their delicate chocolate exterior houses a rich tarty mousse-y filling. I think the mushroom has a better balance and variety of flavors. Although I don't eat mousse treats often, I look forward to trying some of the other ones in the future, like the blueberry, banana and cloud.

Today I decided to make a special trip to go here to grab a few goodies. I forgot how small the place was and how low the ceilings were. That wasn't an issue though. The place was nice and cakes were stacked neatly. What was surprising to me is that they don't have any cookies laid in the front display. It's all placed in the back almost hidden. I was deeply disappointed with their cookie selection. It was deeply surprising that they don't sell the butter cookies that had jam in the middle and dipped with chocolate on one side with sprinkles. I did ask the clerk and even showed him a pic of what I was looking for and he said they never sold them. They only had the linzer cookies and they didn't look so good. They also did not have the lobster tail. They did have the sfogliatelle which they also called a lobster tail. I thought they were not the same? Some bakeries sell both and they are definitely not the same. I did end up buying one of their sfogliatelle with cream and some rugelachs. The sfogliatelle was good but the rugelachs tasted slightly underbaked. It did taste fresh though unlike many I've had in other bakeries. However, for $28 per pound, I wouldn't get it again. For those not having lobster tail and not having the Italian cookies, I will have to give Veniero's a low rating. I never thought an Italian bakery would not carry staples. Very disappointed. I need to find another Italian bakery now.

If you've been searching for a real baguette in NYC since the Maison Kayser days, your search ends…read morehere. Getting a fresh loaf used to be my husband's morning tradition, and we've been disappointed for years--until we found Bread Story. The owner, Yann Ledoux, was the executive baker for Eric Kayser USA, and he has kept that legendary tradition alive. The best part? They open early, so you can actually get a warm, fresh-from-the-oven baguette to start your day for $3.50. It has that perfect, shatteringly crisp crust and airy interior that made Kayser the gold standard. It's such a relief to have an authentic French boulangerie back in the neighborhood that focuses on the craft rather than the 'scene.' If you miss the old Kayser loaves, go see Yann early in the morning--it's the real deal.

I got the classic, no-frills croissant and enjoyed it at home after warming it in the oven for 5 minutes. The aroma filled my room, and the taste didn't disappoint. It was so deep, rich, and buttery that I finished it immediately. I can't wait to come back and try their other baked goods! The staff were also super friendly, and next time I'll definitely try the flan she recommended.

The crust was beautifully crisp, while the interior had a well-balanced, airy structure. Every bite was filled with the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread. Personally, I might even like it a little more than the cardamom bun! Once again, the staff were lovely, and the interior was warm and inviting.

This review is solely for the pastries I tried at La Cabra…read more There's always a line out the door, so expect to wait at least a good 15-20mins.. I didn't mind waiting as i've heard such great things about their pastries. Although, I didnt try the cardamom one- I was still underwhelmed. Good flavors that could have been great if they kept the pastries warm intheir display or warmed them up before giving them to you. I waited in line for cold pastries.. not worth it to me, unless you're the first one at the door when they open.

I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but the Salted Brown Butter Oat Latte is 100% worth the wait!…read more My friend and I stopped by at around 11am on a Sunday and there was around a 20 minute wait. The line moves really fast and is only for the brown butter drink. The coffee was so incredibly creamy and had the perfect balance between sweet and salty. Highly recommend!

Came all the way here after seeing the hype online, only to discover the line was longer than my…read morepatience and they had exactly one drink available. ONE. At that point, it felt less like a menu and more like a surprise challenge. To be fair, the drink was actually good, and the café is undeniably cute. The aesthetic is working overtime. But standing in line forever just to be told most of the menu is unavailable? That's a bold business strategy. Would I come back? Maybe... after checking if they have more than one option and bringing a camping chair for the line.

It was busy, so after paying, you get a cute ticket--hand it to the barista for the viral latte!

I know this is a popular spot, but I have to say, it was kind of just okay to me. The bagel was so thick and bready. I know this is more of the NY style, but it just wasn't quite doing it for me. Even with all the fillings I had inside, it was good, but not the best bagel I've ever had.

If you're feeding more than 5 people, recommend getting some bagels and separate cream cheese and save yourself the wait.

Hamburger America

Hamburger 'MURICA!…read more When we want a no-frills, affordable NYC smashburger instead of a fancy viral one, we have two go-to spots. While the other place might make a slightly better burger, Hamburger America wins on the overall experience. They offer actual tables and chairs, free soda refills, and a flawless mid-century Americana vibe (think retro counter, chrome accents, and vinyl floors). Plus, they feature rotating regional specials. The Wisconsin is bathed in butter. The Mississippi is breadcrumbed and deep-fried. The Lansing features Michigan olive mayo. The Salt Lake City is married to three separate onion burgers. The Waco is burned to a crisp. OK, those last two are made up.

I've been meaning to visit Hamburger America ever since it opened in 2023, and it lived up to the…read moreanticipation. From the moment you walk in, it's clear that this place is more than just another burger joint. The updated Americana-inspired interior feels authentic without being kitschy, and every detail seems carefully considered. What could have been a simple spot for burgers, fries, and shakes instead feels like a genuine passion project dedicated to preserving and celebrating America's burger traditions. I ordered George Motz's Fried Onion Burger, the restaurant's signature take on the Oklahoma-style onion burger. While it shares some similarities with a smash burger, the preparation sets it apart. A generous amount of thinly sliced onions is smashed directly into the beef patty and cooked on the flat-top griddle, allowing the onions to caramelize while soaking up the rich flavor of the beef tallow. As someone who grew up in New York, I've always gravitated toward more traditional burgers with a softer, juicier texture. Onion burgers, on the other hand, are all about maximizing surface area to create that deeply caramelized crust. Hamburger America executes this style flawlessly. The burger arrived with beautifully crisp edges, a savory crust, and a perfect balance between beef, sweet onion flavors, and melted American cheese, and it came with three sliced pickles on the side. The supporting cast deserves recognition as well. The Martin's Potato Roll is an essential part of the experience. The bun is steamed over the burger and onions while they cook, creating a soft, pillowy texture that absorbs all of those flavorful juices without falling apart. It's the kind of detail that elevates a great burger into a memorable one. If you choose a seat at the counter, you'll have a front-row view of the action. Watching the cooks work the flat-top griddle is part of the experience and gives you an appreciation for the precision and consistency behind each burger. There's something satisfying about seeing such a simple food prepared with so much care and attention. The restaurant offers a straightforward setup. Upon entering, you can either grab a seat at the counter or order at the self-service counter. Additional seating is available in the back as well as outside. Despite its popularity, the layout keeps things moving efficiently. Located on the corner of West Houston and MacDougal Streets in SoHo, Hamburger America has quickly become one of NYC's most talked-about burger destinations. Founded by burger historian George Motz, the restaurant feels like a living tribute to regional American burger culture, bringing classic styles that are often overlooked into the spotlight. My first visit left me eager to return. Next time, I'd like to work my way through some of the other burger offerings and finally try the egg salad sandwich, which has developed quite a following of its own. For burger enthusiasts, food historians, or anyone who appreciates a thoughtfully executed American classic, Hamburger America is well worth the visit. Sometimes the simplest foods are the hardest to perfect, and this place proves just how special a burger can be when it's done right.

I have been here twice and adored it both times. They have the best drink menu with both NA and alcoholic options. I love their marinated olives, arancini, and parmesan (with honey and black pepper!). My favorite pizza is the burriza, which has burrata/pesto/tomatoes/balsamic and is SO GOOD! I highly recommend getting the calabrian chili honey as well to dip the pizza in. I think their pasta portions are on the smaller side, so I would stick with pizza! They have a huge variety (both round and square), so everyone will find one that they love. Zach (the manager) is so lovely as well, you can tell there is so much heart put into Parla. I will certainly be back!
