Since it's Restaurant Week in NYC, I had been hoping to try a taste of Gordon Ramsay's cafe in The London (54th Ave, NYC), but sadly, they were completely booked. With a change of plans to leave the area sooner, I grabbed a quick bite at Cafe Europa. I believe this is a chain, but it was speedy and quite... More

Nothing special about these places. They have average food for more than average prices. Sometimes I go in to just get a cookie when I need my cookie fix.

The great reviews for this cafe must have been made by people who didn't ask the price of an item before they bought it! I did, and met the only 2 rude people we met in NY in the week we were there--the cashier and manager. I can't comment on the food as I walked out before buying anything.

Great place for inexpensive but good food. We had two zesto sandwiches and a slice of pepperoni pizza and it all came up to $25 with drinks, especially the sandwiches tasted really fresh. Much enjoyed!

This place was recommended to us by a salesperson at the Orvis across the street. There were a lot of choices: salads, soup, pizza, etc. We had the thin crust cheese pizza which was quite good. The cookie cupcake, however, was a dry disappointment especially for $5. There was a hard-working busboy who impressed us very much by moving around... More

This a chain of excellent cafes - we tried a couple of them while in New York and they were both of the same great standard. The selection of breakfast and lunch food can't fail to please - there are plenty of healthy options as well or can you blow your pipe out if you feel like it with it... More

The capuccino is way better than the Starbucks` (just next door). Good sandwiches, good options of breakfast, divine pancakes. The service is friendly and funny, the attendant even tried to speak portuguese with us (although he really was speaking spanish mixed with italian).

Everytime we stay in Time Square, we stop at this cafe for our breakfast. The service is fast, the price is right and they have a large selection for breakfast and nice sandwiches and salads for lunch. Very central, perfectly located.
