Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

They charge you for whatever they like. They don’t speak English well while taking orders. At cash you pay what is said in Latino behind the bench. When you complain they say that’s what you ordered. Daylight robbery

Nicely situated for the Park Central Hotel for breakfast. Fantastic cheesecake and with tax, service charges for using a credit card plus tip expect to pay around $20 for cheese cake and coffee but hey! That’s NYC.

We ate here a few times for breakfast while staying nearby. Easy to order and take away or seats upstairs. Plenty of choices for food, freshly prepared breakfast sandwiches, omelette and other items. Nice fresh fruit boxes, yoghurts and orange juice in the chiller at...the rear of the store. Good, friendly service and the coffee was great. We particularly enjoyed the pastries and warm cinnamon buns. It also looked like lots of locals ate here or grabbed their breakfast here too. It was reasonably priced for the area. Don’t let the couple of bad reviews put you off, we gave it a try and were glad we did.More

Every day, in our New York vacation, we had breakfast in the Premier Cafe in 7th Avenue. We have returned because we have found a lot of exquisite things to eat, a good Illy espresso and many drink of quality. A very interesting site where...to do breakfast or lunch . Best complimenti and thank you!More

What a scam! I don’t consider high prices in a tourist area as a tourist trap. Merchants pay a lot of money to open a store in these locations. What I consider a tourist trap is not giving people quality products or service, that is...where the word trap comes into play. They charge tons of money and give you terrible food. We paid almost $7 for a double espresso that tasted like dirty water. The sandwiches are such a let down. I ordered an egg sandwich, it was a paper thin amount of scrambled eggs. They say it is two eggs but it is not, cheese that tastes like plastic and not even a full strip of bacon. I am not one to complain and I hate leaving reviews like this one because I know how hard it is on business owners but this deli takes advantage of people. I don’t mind paying high prices, I mind being scammed by paying a high price and not getting what I paid for. Do yourself a favor, go to star stage deli just one block away on 55th between 6th and 7th Avenue. They have great food, reasonable prices and friendly staff.More

After eating mediocre breakfasts around the area, that were dumb and over priced, we found this gem on our last day. Would go again, and again! You will need to wait online to order. And take for delicious, simple food to go or walk up...to a table. Cool by me. Got the #2 plate with bacon. Over easy eggs. No choice of toast, don’t eat toast anyway. Don’t eat potatoes either, but these were legit. Ate every last bite with my lovely, but not too runny, egg yolk. Coffee was top notch.did not try the bagels. They looked to be not as great as other bagel shops, so not worth the carbs. Their sandwiches looked amazing! As did the desserts. But we did not try. The bathrooms, for customer to my, are on the 2nd floor. If you have to go, get the key code while you are ordering.More

We had a wonderful breakfast here one morning, came back the next day and got their corned beef special and ended up sick! I was so disappointed because the breakfast was so good - we didn't go back after that, just couldn't trust it!
