Solid breakfast option in my neighborhood. Food is decent but service is killer. This place is run really well. If you see ppl waiting outside, they’re likely a “larger” party (4 or more). Go in and ask for a table.

Lovely authentic New York diner. We had breakfast here twice. Food was lovely and generous portions. You can sit at a table or on the bar stools. Staff are friendly and you feel like a new Yorker here. Obviously lots of regulars which is always a good sign. Recommended

According to the reviews, we came to this place. Although the bar looked overcrowded, the staff found a free seat for us. The atmosphere reflects NYC. Lots of people, loud, staff in a hurry; they try to please the client as much as possible, and the guests are constantly changing. We waited maybe 3 minutes for our breakfast. The staff is incredibly fast and diligent. The food is authentic. Portions are big. The service price ratio is very good. If you want to eat well and feel the real NYC like on TV, come here!

This is a neat little diner-style restaurant with a variety of breakfast and lunch foods. The service is fast and friendly! Seems to be a pretty busy place so there might be a little bit of a wait but it is worth it! The food is really good and the staff is friendly! The only concern I have us that I saw one if the cooks sniff the bread to my sandwich a few times before putting it on the grill?? Anyways, despite that, definitely 5 stars! Highly recommended!

Best diner ever. Love it so much! We had sandwich with canadian bacon and pancake. All of them were super-good. Thinking of visiting again before leaving. Definitely recommend!

Small diner with pretty solid food. Service was fast. We got a custom omelet and the grilled reuben. Portions are pretty large and they tasted pretty good.

We went here for breakfast and we left satisfied. The food tasted great. The chipotle eggs benedict was just the right amount of spice. I wouldn't recommend to any spice sensitive friends though. The coffee was good as well. We came a little bit after opening and almost every table was taken. We did manage to get seated though. Our server was really friendly and the food came out quick. The cafe is on a cafe so it was a nice view of the street. Very nice atmosphere to have breakfast.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about this place. Just one person's opinion, but the food is your standard breakfast taste. Ordered eggs Benedict, and a pancake eggs and bacon as the choices for two people. Hot chocolate on the side too. Pancakes were overcooked and the rest was flavorless. The hollandaise sauce was nothing special. Disappointed with the trek to get there out of other options, so won't be coming back. $46 for two people with tip.

We really loved the hash brown that came with the eggs Benedict a lot. Very well cooked with a nice char and browning. Eggs were perfectly poached as well. The omelette was also very tasty! The French toast with the cannoli fillings can be a bit filling after a while, but it was a good choice for sharing. Overall, a delightful place for breakfast. The cafe is quite small, so it may feel a bit squeeze. It can get very crowded so be prepared to wait if you come during the peak time!

If you in Manhattan NY gotta try John's coffee shop. Small corner store with tables and counter seating. We started off with the coffee and it was pretty amazing and definitely walked out with a large to go cup. The service was great and was always on top of things. The menu had some tasty foods and I couldn't decide on what to get because everything looked so good. It was my first time eating here and everyone I asked seemed excited to tell me about the food and coffee. The waffles, steak and home fries was definitely on my order. I wanted to try the French toast with cannoli will be my next meal. Trust me it was difficult to choose. So if you are in town stop by you will not be disappointed.

I was staying at nearby hotel for a few days. Found this little coffee shop and had breakfast pretty every day. They have good food, fast service, reasonable prices! Thanks guys. Keep it up!

Good place to have a fast breakfast and delicious. We arrived Saturday morning and even though it was full we got a table for 2 within 10min. Everything was delicious but the pancakes can be better. I’ll come back for more

Great coffeeshop! The food is very tasty, almost like it’s home made. Very nice service overall. Coffee was just right, hot and fresh like it’s supposed to be.

We took cheesteak, pancakes, Elvis toast with peanut butter, banana and added crispy bacon. Excellent choices for brunch. Fries were pleasantly crunchy and tasty. Cholula is a must when eating these kinds of stuff 🤤

Great food, great coffee. Waffles are delicious. Nice place in Manhattan, close to a lot of offices and hotels (not all of them serve breakfast). Service is super good, the staff is super nice. The place is small and seems to be crowded when it is full but worth the wait to be seated.

We went here for breakfast and had a great experience! This is a small corner diner and seating is very limited so you will likely have a wait, and it is street waiting. We waited 25mins for a table for 4 and it was overall worth it. Our server was pleasant, efficient and the food was exactly what you would expect from a local diner. Good portions and tasty!

Visited this diner and was pleasantly surprised by their delicious omelette and French toast - both were spot-on. The service was friendly and welcoming, adding a nice touch to the overall experience. Definitely worth a visit for a cozy and satisfying meal.

When I walked in they were busy and I thought I would have to wait, but they sat me within 30 seconds and got my food within 10 minutes. They work very fast regardless of being busy. I tried one of their omelets and their banana pancakes, they were great! Very comforting food. Even if they are busy, I would recommend waiting for a meal!

Cute diner! I was starving when I got off the morning plane but couldn't check into my hotel for hours and this was the closest spot available. If the line is out the door, be sure to go in first to put your name on the list. I enjoyed the grilled chicken salad melt with onion rings and peppermint tea.

I was so excited to find a rest stop for my Manhattan travels that I found John’s Coffee Shop. When I entered, the place felt like home. The atmosphere was filled with lively conversation, and customers sat and relaxed in their comfortable seats. The shop has a diner vibe; the interior is organized, clean, and kept in good condition overall. Thus, I need to go back to work, but, in addition to ordering its delicious coffee, the coffee shop also has a selection of pancake stacks on their menu. I then decided to make a mental note to come back for their pancakes in the near future. Also, what was interesting is that the cashier who served me politely for the coffee has CashApp as a payment option. Simply use your CashApp’s QR scanner to make payment. It is time to revisit John’s Coffee Shop real soon. The picture I have is what a coffee cup from the shop looks like.

Our go to breakfast spot every time we are in NYC. Food is fantastic and service is super friendly.

Terrific original US experience! Like the ones you see in the movies, with the booths and the coffee refill when you need it. We had a bagel with egg, oatmeal and pancakes. The pancakes could be more thick and sturdy, they were soft and got crumbled easily.

Topical Coffee shop for America. Always full, people are waiting for go inside, but it goes very fast. We waited for our breakfast approx 3‘ Stuff are very friendly and incredible fast and diligent

A quintessential diner experience. Extremely fast and courteous service. The best diner breakfast I've had in months if not years.

Great experience of our first ever American diner! I had the bacon and cheese bagel and my husband had the pancakes! Great food - good service! We got there for 8am and thought we’d be first but actually got the last table!

Dinner with good food and friendly staff. Here, you will find your favorite breakfast foods. The place is clean, has windows on both sides that allow you to see what's happening in the street, and bring an abundance of natural light, making it an enjoyable place to have your breakfast.

Amazing place! Service was fast and friendly, food was absolutely delicious - just what we needed to kick off a day of sightseeing.

Great overall experience. Great service. Got a table in 10 mins. French toast melt in your mouth. Hash browns are delicious and the Crab Cakes Benedict just simply amazing.

One of the most lovely places on the area. We arrived and instantly friendly greeting from the manager that offer us to sit at the bar. Service was quick and the food was spot on. Will recommend if you are coming on a small group to have the best experience if you are looking for a sit on place to eat. Manager was super attentive with us and always was walking arround to check that everything was good. We visited on morning of 08/05 we don't know the name of the manager but if reads this you are one of the best manager that I have the opportunity to see working on a restaurant keep the great work.

Nice little place for quick bite. Coffee was decent and service was good. Had the John's wrap, loved the tender steak and avocado . Eggs Benedict was also very goos. Will definitely go again if we are in the area.

You can't go wrong with this place. I went there three times during a trip in NYC since the food was great, the service fast, and the prices affordable. I would recommend the eggs Benedict, they are amazing! Perfectly poached eggs and soft hollandaise.

If you want a breakfast comfort food type. This is the place!! Best pancakes I ever had. They have different types of pancakes but the plain ones are heaven!! Service is great and fast! They can arrange most plates depending on what you want.

Good café with tasty menu and helpful staff. It's usually really busy but worth a visit. Love the coffee

Perfect stop to start morning or lunch break with coffee and sandwiches. Pastrami is almost as good as Katz’s for about half the price. Hearty portions.

Perfect spot for a quick, delicious breakfast! Bonus points for having and Iced Latte option that was perfect (Yay!). It is a small place, but efficient service and quality food. Eggs, toast, potatoes, corn beef hash - all perfect! Nice range of choices, but not overwhelming. The clients ranged from construction workers, locals grabbing a quick bite, and tourists.

Great service, quick to give us our food and very yummy food overall.

I used to come here for breakfast before meetings at the UN. My first time back here since before the pandemic. The food and service are still great.

The place is kinda tiny. Waitstaff is good and attentive. Huge stack of pancakes. Delicious waffle. Avocado toast was pretty good - it's got pico de gallo which made it a bit spicy but still good. Yogurt and granola was not too bad (though maybe not worth $9, to be honest). Good solid diner.

Good grilled cheese. Side salad was ok. Food comes out fast. Nice diner feel. If I lived close I would probably be a regular.
