It wouldve made a good, I mean, very good one with its superb location and the space it has. However, their tables and chairs are a bit worn-out and the service is somewhat unorganized which made me feel like things are expensive for these I just mentioned.

Although the place is small, the food is delicious. We loved the kiss Lorraine and the chai latte! Maybe the best chai latte we had. Loved it here . We will be back.

Casual gem on the upper east side. Great coffee and comfort food. We had breakfast (avo toast breakfast special which comes with coffee and juice, and pancakes with fresh fruit and eggs) but the soup also looked amazing. Huge portions.

Caffe Noi serves the best coffee in Manhattan. Every item on the menu is very tasty and fresh. The service is fast, kind and very customer oriented. The service is simply spot on! If you are in Manhattan, Caffe Noi is simply a must...

This place was a gem. It had some of the best pastries in the area. Its a shame that it has closed. I hope that they are inspired to open once again in the future.

Loved the atmosphere! Wonderful staff. If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend stopping in for an espresso. If you’re around long enough, you’ll learn there are secret menu items that only regulars know about!

This place is great! The food is super fresh. I was here a few weeks ago pregnant with my toddler, the owner was very accommodating and sweet. Came back today with my husband, who has ten thousand allergies, and again they were accommodating with great service and great food. I hope this place stays open forever.

Me and my friend had a great experience in Cafe Noi. We loved our pancake topped with beautiful berries, it was absolutely tasty! We also enjoyed our coffee! Will definitely come back. Thank you.

I really really like this place.I went there the first time with my girlfriend and it seemed pretty small on the inside at first but after sitting in there it felt comfy.The food itself gets a great 5 Stars from me. I really enjoyed their pancakes with berries, and I loved their French toast. My girlfriend has the waffles and I loved the taste of them as well.So far we’ve gone back twice because it’s our new breakfast spot before work.I’m definitely going to be returning again, i really wish the price was slightly cheaper but at this point it doesn’t affect my judgement.

I just got black coffee, but it was good and inexpensive, especially for a place in Manhattan. The vibe of the place was wonderful, exactly what I wanted to read my book for awhile. The employees were absolutely amazing; my coffee spilled as I tried moving my table for another couple of people, and the employees cleaned up the spill without complaint and gave me another coffee for free. I highly recommend this place if youre in the area, and will be going back myself.

Delicious! Happened upon this place for breakfast and we were very impressed. Dont let the sign outside fool you, great little place with plenty of seating inside. If you want an authentic Israeli (Mediterranean) breakfast this is the place! We had the smoked salmon sandwich and the eggplant sabich.

Review №24

The customer service is poor here. I was treated quite rudely after asking a simple question about what food items they had available. Additionally, there is no menu clearly displayed so there is no price transparency. A single shot of espresso with cream and simple syrup is more expensive compared to Starbucks. Overall, I would not recommend this place based on my negative customer experience.

This is my favorite coffee shop in NYC. The coffee as well as the chocolate croissants are among the best I have had. The vibe is perfectly chill- bring a book, magazines and/or work and camp out from breakfast through lunch. Also- early opening is a bonus!!

Review №33

I patronize this place every time I’m in the UES. I’m not a vegetarian but their homemade veggie burger is absolutely amazing, as is their hummus, bread, coffee, and pastries. I especially appreciate the kitchen perfecting a few modifications I always have with my order. The service of the owners and workers is top notch.

Review №36

Chill coffee shop, friendly staff and a good pretty darn good cup of coffee. Im giving five stars because one of the guys gave me a chocolate chip cookie that came straight out of the oven. This balances out the fact of not having real maple syrup for my waffles. Im from Vermont so this is a big deal for me but fresh chocolate chip cookies...!!

I was so lucky to stumble upon this place. I have truly loved getting to know the owner, the staff, and the regular customers over my summer stay. Cafe Noi fosters a family environment and one I am sad to leave behind in New York. They have an amazing selection of breakfast and lunch foods, all kinds of drinks, and yummy baked goods. Whether you have a moment to spare for a coffee break, or a whole day to sit and work, Cafe Noi is the perfect spot for great food and even better company. Who knows, you may even get a nickname or two like I was given! As you you taught me how to say it, Toda!With Love,Wisconsin/Boston

Maybe a new waiter, but slow service, got some things wrong. My friend’s waffle was just not good. My oatmeal had no sugar option, was tasteless and watery. Fruit was just throw on top carelessly. It’s place, but food is definitely far from 4+ stars, not coming back.

Great fast service, barista was very friendly. They have a winter menu with white hot chocolate and Nutella hot chocolate which they had no problem making for us, and they were both amazing. Would definitely visit again to try the coffee the next time Im in the area. The black and white cookie and strawberry donut were fresh and very good as well.

This is a cute cafe on the UES with good coffee drinks and brunch/lunch items. There’s a nice cozy feel to the cafe, which makes it a great place to catch up with friends, but the drinks and food are just okay and standard. Nothing here really stands out.

Review №64

Cute little cafe with a very friendly barista (I got the feeling he might have been the owner). I got an iced coffee and it was kind of bitter-- definitely seems like recycled coffee. But this is a rare place that doesnt fill the cup three-quarters full with ice, so I appreciated it in that Annie-Hall-the-food-is-terrible-and-such-small-portions way. Theres wifi and a surprising number of tables without being too cramped. There is even a little back nook with just two tables that is a little quieter and good for studying or reading. It also seemed like a lot of the customers were regulars.
