    This is - hands down - the best ice coffee in New York at the BEST PRICE (not even $4) I’ve been going here since 2015 or so and though I don’t regularly find myself in the area, I’ll go out of my way to get this coffee and perhaps a breakfast sandwich (also good) in the AM. Sometimes there are seats available and it’s a nice place to work. Crowded, but totally NY. Really - why not try out this cute, independent store than across the street with the biggest of coffee conglomerates.

    WOW SO GOOD!!! You MUST eat here and have a coffee too. It was the best egg sandwich I’ve ever had and the almond milk latte was delicious as well. Will come back again!

    Excellent stop for a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich. It's quick, and high quality with great ingredients. Enjoyed it so much, we visited twice in 3-days. Recommend the Brioche or Croissant BEC. Hot sauce is real good, and makes the sandwich pop. I tried the wholegrain bread and sausage... and while good it's untoasted and makes it more a plain sandwich with sliced sausage links not a patty. The BEC, hits the spot though.

    A simple and warm cafe with good service and coffee. The staff was welcoming, coffee was fresh. The interior is good for brief work or friendly chats. I would recommend Cortado and Lentil soup. Will be back!

    I really like their pastries and Cuban sandwich. There can come times be a wait, so get there early or try to go off peak times.

    Had an amazing experience here. Latte and muffin were amazing, of course. I didn’t know that they were closing around 4pm. It was already half past 4, but they did not say anything. Also I saw they consumed the whole brewed coffee daily. People were super nice and kind. Strongly recommended! I would like to visit again! (There is also wifi too)

    The loveliest neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee is amazing and the breakfast egg sandwich is unlike anything else I’ve tasted - on a freshly toasted brioche. The croissants are the absolute best. Also, always a nice chat with the staff who genuinely seem to enjoy working here.

    Wasn't sure if I should've stopped here at first but I am SO GLAD I did! Had the oat milk latte and the chicken panini sandwich. Absolutely delicious! The chicken was so savory and cheese melted just the right way. Exactly what I needed on a rainy day. The coffee was delicious and well made as well. Absolutely recommend!

    woke up with a craving for the perfect blueberry muffin and Rex delivered. super soft, fruit forward muffin with a perfectly crusted top, sprinkled with sugar. so so good. they also make a proper cappuccino and have great ambiance with pleasant music, nyt copies, and books to peruse. I will definitely be coming back for a lil Saturday morning outing one of these days.

    I’m staying in Hell’s Kitchen and this is the literal best breakfast sandwich place in NYC. I grabbed the breakfast cuban with cheese and salsa verde and it was off the hook. Highly recommend.

    This place is straightforward and does what they do extremely well: perfectly prepared espresso beverages and egg sandwiches. I have only gotten cappuccinos from here and they are perfect every single time. Their sandwiches are the perfect size, perfect flavor, and really hit the spot. Get your sandwich on a brioche bun, you won't be disappointed. Their baked goods on display are also stellar, I had a lemon poppy muffin top which was on point.

    Their 12oz coffees are … defensively not 12 Oz and are even served in cups smaller than their in store demo size. That said it is good coffee and the egg cheese bacon roll was nice.

    Stopped here for lunch and coffee. Really great place! So cosy and well put together. Coffee is great and staff are super friendly, they can earn five stars just for that!

    I used to sit in this coffeeshop almost every weekend when I lived in Hell’s Kitchen. They use oatly and counter culture coffee which is the recipe for a great coffee. My only problem is the strong (and bad) smell, probably because of the eggs and other things they make. I guess if they left the door open or had better circulation that wouldn’t be an issue. If you only doing a to go that’s great option if you want to sit down a relax, be ready for it

    Really great bakery. Their sandwiches are fresh and delicious, as are their pastries. Delivery is always quick and accurate. Their Cuban sandwich is delicious and I love the coconut loaf.

  • 4/5 Ivy H. 3 months ago on Google New
    Note: I ordered on UberEats so this may affect the service I received (but I don't think it should have)... First order take-aways: Best mocha I've had, albeit water-y. Quality cocoa! Rex delivers on the temperature aspect of their food, they really do heat your food up! One of my sandwiches arrived nice and hot but the other was luke-warm; I'm still happy it was delicious. The ricotta bread is super safe to get because it's super good. Second order: The chai latte tasted like a very watered down horchata and half the cup was pure ice (which is usual for most restaurants, anyway). Perfect chorizo burrito👌 :( -> $13.79 Lox Bagel came with no lox! It did come with the right toppings lol: capers, tomato, chives cream cheese. But spending $13 on a cream cheese bagel was disappointing, I was really sad about the lack of lox :(

    Love their coffee and yummy breakfast. Tight space but great customer service. Altho, be warned, once enter you’ll leave smelling like baked goods. :)

  • 5/5 Patrick T. 10 months ago on Google
    Solid coffee. Great that the latte was served with 2 shots, which makes for a decently, strong coffee. Milk was also steamed properly; it was nice and silky (unlike starbucks and 99% of cafes in the US). I do wish they would serve it in a latte in a latte glass, rather than a cappuccino mug

  • 5/5 Jasmin G. 5 months ago on Google
    one of my favorite spots. their egg sandwich is delicious and customizable, and they have some of the best coffee around. great vibes and service too! i love coming here to hang out and do some work or read.

  • 5/5 Gregory H. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly service, delicious sandwiches and pastries, and most of all a welcoming/warm environment. Not much more to ask for. I'm not coffee drinker, so I stick with the teas and lattes. Good to spot for a quick meet up for business or catching up with a friend. Possibly good for getting some work done too!

  • 5/5 Rofella 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee and the yummiest banana bread ever!!! Just the right vibe to get your work done! Friendly staff 💫

    Iced coffee/small Iced latte Good taste! Cozy vibe, friendly staff

  • 5/5 Emily K. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a good breakfast sandwich. All the ingredients are top notch which I guess is why it costs $11, but I’d have to say it’s worth it.

  • 5/5 star of the g. 2 years ago on Google
    I came to get egg sandwich with avocado and it was very delicious. And their iced mocha and iced latte are fresh grounded coffee beans. Iced coffee is made in the morning time I went there again the next day and asked for the bread to be toasted

    Started working near here and I go a few times a week. Great staff! I don't drink coffee but their muffins, loaves and donuts are all amazing. Would recommend their Turkey Roast sandwich they have for lunch sometimes 10/10 crazy good. Comes with caramelized onions in the sandwich and a side salad in the box.
