delightful experience at a Cornell Techcafé! The combination of an almond croissant, cappuccino, and sandwich sounds like a perfect treat and yes, taking in the Manhattan skyline views have added to the experience. Roosevelt Island's location offers some amazing views of the city. This is hardly 3 minutes by walk from the Roosevelt Tramway Station. Prices are Great and ample seating space inside and outside.
Our favorite place for lunch at RI. Great lunch dishes for the price. Always tastes good. I love the salad buffet where you can choose what you like. Today’s dish is usually always great too! Coffee and a treat is nice as well. Highly recommended this place for breakfast and lunch or an afternoon snack if you’re on Roosevelt Island. Great views as well!
We stopped at the Cornell Tech cafe when we visited Roosevelt island. We tried an ice tea and a caprese sandwich. We loved the sandwich so much that we got another one. The potato chips that came along with the sandwich were unique and very tasty too. The prices are unparalleled and this is definitely the best place to eat on this side of the island. There are seating areas inside and outside with great views.
