    Since we didn't have breakfast at the hotel we wanted to have a bite to eat in New York in the city. Authentic and normal it should be, we finally found Gotan and have not regretted it. Delicious coffee and delicious dishes we got. One star deduction because all the tables have stuck and were not clean, you can work on it. Just wipe over it.

    WOW is all I have to say. Just kidding.. I have a lot more because this place is that good. First let’s start off with the industry chic vibe of the inside. It’s so cozy and perfect for working during the day. Lots of space! The coffee is on point and the food… I was literally blown away. I ordered the Herb Omelet Sandwich and the Avocado Feta toast. Both were phenomenal but me being the carbivore I am, the sandwich was the real standout here. The baguette was incredibly tasty in itself plus the combo of the sage, shallot, scallion, spicy mayo, tomato tapenade, and a little bit of hot sauce made this one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. I need to come back and try the healthy bowls and the scrambled cheddar biscuit.

    Swung by Gotan for a light lunch. Snagged a bottle of coke and split a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich. Our food was super tasty! The atmosphere inside was relaxed, and the amount of seating, as well as food options, was great to see.

    Neighborhood favorite! I’m a diehard for the tuna avocado sandwich, but sometimes dabble in the tuna salad or halloumi sandwich. Gotan is a great place to grab a delicious lunch and coffee. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Outdoor is in the sun so you can sunbathe like a kitten during the winter months. Lots of people usually on laptops or getting their lunch to go.

    Came here around 12:30pm on a Sunday and was able to find a table inside and outside right away. We got freshly squeezed orange juice (delish) and the Gotan breakfast, which was both healthy and delicious. I would come back for that breakfast dish!

    A must if you’re in the SoHo/Tribeca area. They make great coffee and their avocado toast with poached eggs and feta is worth raving over. My gf and I have been here multiple times and we still look forward to going there on our next weekend trip to NY. Superb spot in a trendy neighborhood, nice ambience and great quality!

    It's a welcoming place, perfect for spending time with friends, working on personal tasks, and there are plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors. The prices are affordable, and the quality is good. Visited around 10am on a weekday ordered a latte, Avocado Feta toast, and oatmeal with berries. Definitely will be coming back for more.

    Definitely worth visiting - a true neighborhood gem with an amazing coffee and a great healthy options menu. The portions are large enough to keep you energetic from the morning till the evening. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We've loved the atmosphere as well - you can grab your drink and choose where you sit, and you will be served by a staff member when the order is ready. Will visit again for sure

    Very nice atmosphere and cool vibes. You can stay outside , as there is a nice terrace and some space in front of the building, or stay inside peeking outside from the windows. Fabulous place for breakfast of quick lunch. The avocado feta sandwich is great !

  • 4/5 H M. 1 year ago on Google
    I found this place from an article that listed cafés ideal for work and study. I should have read the recent reviews before coming here because they do NOT have wifi. Good vibes and food but probably not coming back unless I happen to be around.

    So far the impression is great. The Tuna Sandwich was amazing. It had Avacado a, great flavor and cranberries that added a great sweet flavor. The design of the store is very clean, green plants with wood accents. Coffees between $4-$7, sandwich between $12-$16. Typically very busy, moderate sound level. A lot of outlets available for those who want to do computer work or charge. The outdoor seating is a great location that gets great sunlight and located right across from 1 train subway.

    I got the scrambled eggs cheddar biscuit with a coke and it was delicious, the prices aren't too bad either. I paid $15 for my meal and beverage. I would definitely go back again!

    You are everything I Avo - wanted ... Had this scrumptious avocado toast while I was in NYC. Ever since I have been in this country, every place I visit has a different way of making and presenting avocado toast. I like mine with guac, peppers, cilantro and a sunny side egg on top. Slightly pricey but it's totally worth it looking at the quantity served.

    The Best Breakfast in New York! The Avocado 🥑 toast was delicious and presented like a rare piece of art! Black coffee in a red cup….❤️

    Flavorful and healthy breakfast option. We can start the day with a kick, not only from the coffee but also from the delicious roasted red pepper and hot sauce. The tomato and cucumber keep the plate lively and fresh. Egg and cheese add protein. Portion size feels right. What a well-balanced meal!

    This coffe spot has done it right. Everything, and I mean everything is the definition of what a coffee places should be. The food is superb, coffee perfectly made with awesome presentation, even the music has a great play list. Definitely coming back.

    The Mediterranean Chicken sandwich was amazing, 10/10 will get it again, but the acai was watery. The venue is great too, a nice place to drink your morning coffee but probably not suitable to work at :)

  • 5/5 Simone T. 6 months ago on Google • 70 reviews
    Amazing place for breakfast. It was fairly busy, but worth the wait. Coffee and breakfast items tasted great and came out quick enough. The cafe was very clean and staff were friendly.

  • 5/5 Reema M. 3 months ago on Google • 55 reviews New
    Visited Gotan for lunch with a a colleague. The brick interiors add a lot of character to the place and it was a pretty spacious restaurant. We went during lunch so it was a bit crowded. The front desk staff helped me with recommendations, she was pleasant and accommodating. I ordered: 1. Cafe Mocha - 5/5 - it was so warm and comforting, absolutely delicious. 2. Beets, arugula and pesto sandwich (special for the day) - 5/5. Was warm and hearty, bread was perfectly toasted. Absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an option in the area.

    I thought it was great. In fact, the employees told me it was the first Gotan coffeehouse ever. I plan to go back there again by myself in the winter or spring of 2024. It was me and my mother on Saturday, December 23, 2023.

  • 5/5 Jacquie L. 7 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Had Sunday brunch here after a workout. We had the Gotan Breakfast. Easy over eggs, Israeli salad , potatoes, labne, pita bread and zhoug. Really tasty, fresh and healthy!! Best breakfast I have had in NYC. Cool vibe and helpful staff. Definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Guillermo Amor A. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing place. Everything was perfect. We spent 8 days in NYC and literally it was the only place for breakfast. The only two days we try other places, it was a disappointment. The place to go!

  • 5/5 Howard A. 1 year ago on Google
    Every once in a while, you are lucky enough to start your day with the perfect cappuccino. 10/10. Literally, no room for improvement. (Kudos: Amanda.) Rich espresso, perfectly microfoamed oat milk, the right proportions, the perfect temperature (not too hot), and the pleasure of a real (not disposable) cup. Also: - Freshly squeezed orange juice: yes! (not so easy to find in NYC) - Avocado and feta on toast: delicious - Seating: plenty indoors, in a buzzy, fun, well-cooled environment. Plus several outdoor tables with a mix of shade and sunshine If there’s something not to like about Gotan, I haven’t found it yet.

  • 4/5 Carol Y. 6 months ago on Google
    Enormous avocado toast! 🥑 I was in the region, craving for one and this place appears on suggestions on GMaps. Glad I went and tried it! Avocado toast is the highlight of the menu, cost 14 dollars. A bit pricey (so is all of NY) but definitely worth it! It’s a proper meal. Delicious! Service was nice - you get your beverages at the counter, but they bring the food to your table. Only thing missing was that there was no wifi in the space.

  • 5/5 Chad N. 10 months ago on Google
    Gotan in TriBeca is an absolute gem. The avocado toast topped with feta and an over-easy egg was divine, and their Americano was the perfect balance of robust and smooth. Can't forget to mention their baked goods – my carb count for the day just went through the roof.

  • 5/5 Mingmar L. 1 year ago on Google
    First time trying Gotan breakfast sandwich The bread tastes really good and so did the eggs! You can tell by the quality and taste it’s worth the price. Will definitely try out their other dish too soon.

  • 5/5 Federico P. 1 year ago on Google
    A lot of space to work and simply hangout. I got the drip coffee and it was good. Food looked delicious and they had food options. Atmosphere is definitely nice.

  • 5/5 Joanie A. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious breakfast and coffee shop. This is a great spot to grab a quick cup of coffee or sit down with breakfast or lunch. Highly recommended the Gotan breakfast which is Israeli styled and so good!

  • 3/5 Nadeem R. 1 year ago on Google
    Sandwich was excellent 10/10. Service 2/10. Manager extremely rude & snooty. Never going again. Not to mention server who is the only person serving as this place is short of staff, amazing gentleman. Despite of working so hard he is taking care of with big smile. One star for food two for him. Manager need training.

  • 4/5 Diana N. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for coffee. Very friendly staff. Ample space for sitting with inside and outside sitting options. Can get crowded. Pastries available.

  • 5/5 Marion 1 year ago on Google
    Five stars for the vibes alone. It could get crowded but there’s always space. Even lovelier outside eating, drinking, and enjoying the sun. Great coffee!

  • 3/5 Estephanie Del R. 1 month ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Coffee was delicious, toast was just ok. Given that the toast alone was $14.50 I kind of expected more oomph. I will say the ratio of avocado was great, but flavor was lacking.
