The food was decent, price was kind of expensive for some of the items, but we had a coupon so it balanced everything out. The service was ok, nothing terrible but not outstanding either. There wasn't much people around, so we got our dishes pretty quick. The fried calamari was good, but the pieces were small, I would prefer larger pieces so that the fried batter wouldn't over power the calamari. I ordered the salmon burger, the first bites were fine, but I wouldn't recommend it because it got very fishy and I didn't like the after taste and burping the flavors back up. It was basically bread crumbs with salmon mixed up to make a patty but I just didn't like it very much. I really liked the environment and decor. If it's a nice day out, they also have outdoor seating available with some shade.

It's hit or miss here. Sometimes you get good food and good service other times you just don't. But in the spring I love to sit out side in their cafe area and eat a lemon square and sip on tea.

The café website says this location opens till 10:00 p.m. on Fridays. I walked in at 8:00 p.m. and was informed that the store was already closing up. I didn't miss a "closing early" sign on the door, did I?

average all around IMO.

My new base out of which I'll now work. Very laid back atmosphere with comfy seating, and it doesn't get very crowded. Prices are not great, but very reasonable. Coffee is good. They actually have beer, and it too is reasonably priced. And the best part: they have free wi-fi that actually WORKS! Seriously, it WORKS at this place. It's secured, but they give you the password when you buy something, and off you go. They're also cool with people parking with their laptops for hours on end, as long as you're buying coffees or food or something on occasion. It's wonderful. Okay, well, actually, the best part is the people watching. It's in the fashion district across the street from the Fashion Institute, so there are lots of really interesting people floating around. (Interesting to look at, not necessarily to, you know, talk to...) There's the gay guy wearing spandex and staring an inordinate amount of time at my laptop (yes, my laptop), the avant-garde fashionstas whose new dress belongs at the MoMA, the conservative old man who accidentally stumbled into Manhattan and can't comprehend What In Sam Hill Is Going On Here, the house-frau getting her complicated latte with 13,000 quirks in how it must be made while a little poodle pokes its head out of her purse, and so on. Seriously -- good coffee, beer, food, and the best New York has to offer in people watching. Why aren't you there RIGHT NOW?
