Good coffee and good snacks. The atmosphere is for sure for reading, studying, and maybe post-hookup feeling out the partner. The beans are decent for the coffee, and go well with the sandwiches.

Easygoing cafe with communal tables & hanging plants serving coffee drinks & light bites.
This café and plant shop is such a beautiful concept. The space feels cozy, peaceful, and full of life with all the plants and decor. Everything was excellent, from the coffee to the customer service. They also play really good music, and the atmosphere is perfect if you want to work or study with your laptop. I will definitely come back!

No-frills take-out/delivery fried chicken joint, part of a chain known for using halal poultry.
Pretty solid two-for-one deal. Ordered online and everything arrived neatly packaged, which is a small but noteworthy positive. Not my favorite halal platter in the area but a good value with the deal - I have no regrets. Location is quite convenient too being right next to Central Park.

Loved the super friendly staff, including the owner who stopped by to ask how everything was going; the menu was quite varied and healthy, & lattes great, especially the 2 seasonal ones we tried; ambiance delightful — lots of sunlight, good mix of seating, cheerful decor w. lots of goods from local farmers & vendors in market section, free WiFi, & location central to subway & bus stops, though on edge of busy and bit chaotic traffic circle, making cafe signage not as prominently ideal.

Great lunch special! $9.95 for pad thai with an appetizer, and it's not a small amount. The workers were very kind and quick to create my order. I'm looking forward to going more often. EDIT: Soon after posting my review they increased the lunch special price

This was my first time trying a Acai Bowl and Fruces did not disappoint! I wont lie, It took a while for the order to come out. I ordered the nutella baby bowl and the strawberries were fresh. The banana was perfect and the nutella helped pull the fruits together. Perfect healthy lunch for the hot weather.

The only thing that you could even say about this place, that’s bad is that it’s small. However, get your food and get out that’s the motto right. The food is super tasty. Great smells wonderful customer service right in your face. Easy to deal with you place your order when you leave I got the chicken curry. It was decent. Very tasty And the was good too. Maybe could have been a little less firm, but no real complaint here! Thanks!!

I had this craving for ox tail dish, it is a buffet style, by weight. The place has about 5 or 6 tables in the back and when it was dinner time the place got full with people mostly for taking out. Evan though i came for ox tail that was a delight I couldn't resist and I had a same of the ribs,plantains, black eye pees, fried fish and salmon fish in a sauce. It took me 3 days to finish the food i took way too much lol All in all very good southern food. Go try it out.

I had the potato corn dog with mozzarella and the cheese pull was INSANE! I loved the poboy. It was very authentic to real Louisiana cuisine. I also had lemon pepper seasoning on my fries, and the taste was amazing. My only issue is that this place was slammed with customers and they were understaffed. So my food was a little cold, but it was still good. It was a bit on the pricier side, but I don’t expect seafood to be cheap. So the price was very reasonable in my opinion. I was also full the r

The food was delicious, and the drinks were strong and well-made. Our server, Tiffany, was attentive, patient, and brought such a positive energy to the experience. No need to reserve a table — you can just walk in and enjoy!!

The chickens were huge and they taste like cinnamon for some reason I didn’t eat the fries. I didn’t really want them after I seen how big the Wings was. The lady at the front was very sweet though, and It was clean in there, but the chicken was just nasty

Thank you Matrix Lounge for hosting my Husbands 50th birthday party last night. Everything was perfect, great atmosphere, music and food was very good. The entire staff were very pleasant, friendly and very welcoming to all of my guest. Thank you for a great night and memorable night for the birthday guy. I would definitely recommend this establishment for small, large parties.

Jazz club in the heart of Harlem, one of the few remaining Jazz venues that is worth checking. Went on Saturday night with friends and we had great time. The musicians were talented and the singer was engaging with the audience and entertaining. Food was average (buffet) and the venue is a bit old that needs some update on decor, it felt that it was abandoned for sometime and they just moved in. They have pen and paper style, you book online through email, but they accept cards. GRATITUDE includ

Happy about this new bagel shop in the neighborhood! I had a nice first visit here. It is clean and they are very nice. I enjoyed my breakfast bagel and the prices are reasonable. I look forward to coming here regularly!

It was a first time, after reading reviews I was expecting bad Custumer service but overall everyone was very attentive, the cashier was very helpful, the menu is also paste on the counter. The sandwich “pierna con queso Gouda” was soft, crunchy and juicy, so good. The chinola juice is perfect and the fried chicken to be honest is better than the one sold at equis picapollo. 🥱 Knowing Spanish does give you an advantage when you’re gonna order fried chicken (specific pieces) because most of the

Okay now we gotta contender for my new favorite catfish spot in Harlem. I finally stepped in and ordered the catfish and chips and my tastebuds kept calling for me to add the potato salad. BABE!. The fish was SEASONED AND fried to perfection, the fries were perfectly crispy golden brown and the “homemade” tart sauce was EVERYTHING and more! The potato salad with the sweet smoked paprika was the perfect addition to this meal. I took it across the street under the bridge by the waterfront and devo

Awesome time at this lounge. Owner sent a complementary bottle of moet and was very nice and accommodating. He made sure we enjoyed ourselves. DJ played all the classics. And the food was great! I would definitely recommend coming to this spot especially Fridays and Saturdays .

Best Puerto Rican food in Harlem! (And a few Jamaican dishes too.) Come here for great tasting food and good quality. The people are terrific. If you're on a budget, get the lunch specials - the best deal. This is like your mom and grandma cooked for you!
