94 Corner Cafe Reviews

We live nearby and find this is a perfect place to grab a sandwich or a wrap when you need a tasty lunch. The food is fresh and there is a variety of choices. The staff is very helpful and accommodating and the cashier, Luz, is always smiling and kind. It is a pleasure to go in and know that you will be well treated by everyone. Check out the cookies and the muffins...

Spent 5 mornings & the odd late night snack eating here. They have so much choice & very friendly staff

Me and my friends ordered pasta and a burger at the cafe. The food was 45min. late. My pasta was burned and also my garlic knots. My friend's pasta was not what she ordered and disgusting. The burger of my other friend was burned too and her fries were soggy. I called to get a refund but the person on the phone was just rude and not cooperative. I really don't recommend to order at this cafe. If I could give no stars I would do it but unfortunately that's not possible. Save yourself the time and order somewhere else!!!!

Had both take-away and sit downs here. Close to the hotel, and with good breakfast options, albeit a little to fat for my taste.. USA thing really...

Very good food - and large portions. Had the deluxe chicken tenders (with fries); the tenders were a bit too crispy that they couldn't be easily cut with the plastic utensils. Look around for the various specials before ordering. Will be back here next time in area.

This unassuming cafe has casual, tasty food to suit most tastes, and that can be hard to do, even in a city the size of NYC. They have a good variety of both vegetarian and meat dishes, and while the menu isn't fancy, everything's made well and with obvious care. Their omelettes are big and very well-made, and their chocolate chip pancakes and banana pancakes are both heavenly. We ended up taking a crushed almond croissant and a cinnamon bun to go because everything was so good. Get a few things and share.

We were staying in the hotel across the road on a college trip for 5 days, and came to the Corner Cafe for breakfast on 2 of these days. The service was good and the food excellent, and it was perfect for what we needed.

Nice place to grab a bite for lunch. Excellent selection. Delicious food. To-go or eat in and they have tables both inside and out. Highly recommended.

This is a great little cafe/restaurant. Practical and not fancy. We stayed in the area and ate here for 3 mornings. Should have tried their lunch and super as well, it looked good with lots of variety. They seemed to have a 'whatever you need' type of attitude.

Saying across the road we had brekkie here our first day and I had a quick bite another. The first day the server was a little rude and short but the food came out nice and quick and I did find my new favourite sauce, chipole. After having eggs on an onion bagel (very delicious and I love the large selection of bagels) I decided to go back for another. The server this time was super nice and made the best bagel and eggs. My only problem was that I went to pay and the register lady kept ignoring me and served all these other people that kept waking in (not in line but walking through the door) , not sure if this is normal? I was standing In line behind the last guy that got served. That just really annoyed me and I found it very rude.

We tried Manhattan Diner on our first morning of holiday as it was next to our hotel but the food was bland. I'm glad we found the Corner Cafe, staff were keen to great you when you walked in and food choice was sooo much better, would recommend this deli to anyone in the area.

Right in front of our Inn this corner has been our daily canteen for breakfast and dinner Super welcoming good and cheap

Handy little cafe with helpful staff. Eat in or take away. Variety of food all day - good value and open all night

wonderful taste of all the things we ate there. the service was great - the peaople recognized us every day and were super nice

Food variety and really, really nice people. One day we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there. Love this place.

Went here primarily because we were late to the theatre, and it tuned out to be a good experience. Wide variety of prepared foods (panini, pizza, salads) in a cafeteria-style setting. Pizza was really good, so was the panini. Definitely a cool little slice of the UWS

We recently stayed across the road at Days Inn, for 4 nights, we eat here every morning for breakfast & one evening for dinner. Great food and not overpriced. Dinner serves were large & well worth the cost, Two serves of pasta would serve 4 people. Great food & very friendly staff

We went there by chance because it was near our hotel and we came back the night after. Ample selection of different food (burgers, sandwiches, pizza, omelettes, wraps, ...) and very fresh salad. All we tried was good and the staff very nice. If you don't look for a fancy restaurant with service (it's self service) it is the place for you.

I came here like twice for breakfast and ordered napoleon omelette and it was really good. One thing I didn't like is that they proved plastic fork and knife which are not comfortable to eat with.

I ordered a macchiato medium and this is the result: tiny cup, half filled. There are much better coffee places round the corner who don't count their pennies. Do avoid.

The food here was delicious and at a very redo able price. I came here for brunch and then breakfast the next day. They have great sandwiches and breakfast platters. I would've loved to eat breakfast here everyday.

The staff at this deli always welcome you when you come in; they are very friendly! We love the pizza, especially the white pizza. We've tried the cheesesteak, fries and chicken tenders and decided we will only order pizza from here. We stay at Days Inn right across the street so the 94 Corner Café is our go to dinner spot!

Picked up snacks, bottles of water and soda to take to room. Rice pudding was sweeter than I like. Pastry average.

This is a good place for food anytime. It has a wide range of hot and cold dishes, some of which are vegetarian or vegan.

we were there for breakfast; and they had a nice sized menu; cooked to order; prices like we would pay at home upstate...sort of greasy eggs; but really the only place in the neighborhood.

This was such a great find in our trip to NYC. Located near our hotel in upper Manhatan, it was open from 5am-3am. We visited the shop 4 times in less than 24hrs. Their selection drew us in as they served a plethora of goodies to include pizza, salads, panini's, items from the grill, smoothies and juiced fruits and veggies along with delicious pasteries. We got a slice of pizza, an eclare and breakfast sandwiches along with other desserts and everything was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful and remembered us each time. They have inside and outside seating. Highly recommend this place and hope to visit again one day.

I happen to be staying at a hotel across the street street from the cafe. When you walk into the Cafe, you think you have hit a gold mine. Their is a full display of great looking bakery items on one side of the cafe and a display of pizzas, salads, and cooked foods on the left. I was looking for something easy I could bring back to my room to eat while I was checking the news and my emails. They have an extensive menu, which was a little overwhelming at first. They have a great list of sandwiches, which was perfect for what I needed. I zeroed in on Sandwich "X" - The Piccante Ciao. It is described as salami, pepperoni, cappicola, provolone, jalapeno peppers, and oil and vinegar on a whole grain hero bun. Spicy is what I like, so I was really looking forward to a great hero sandwich. The person taking my order never heard of the Piccante Ciao, but another cook said no problem, they have it. I started to walk over to the bakery case, thinking I might pick out something for the next morning while they made my sandwich. I never even made it to the case (about 10 feet) - miraculously, my sandwich was ready already. When I got back to my room, I found what I had suspected. The sandwich was small and stale and had obviously made quite a while ago. It looked like they just cut it in half and stuck it in the container. It came with some remnants of a salad, with no fork. Despite the great looking bakery, and extensive menu, and the convenience of it being right across from my hotel entrance, I could not bring myself to go back in there after that sandwich. It's really a shame.

This restaurant has the better pancakes I have ever tasted in the world. Staff is also very friendly. Must try!

WOW, ate breakfast here every day when visiting NYC, very impressed. Amazing food and service. Highly recommend.

Friendly staff, very big selection of food (confusing). The breakfast was a bit disappointing, just average. It’s not a proper diner, but perhaps a nice place for something quick, like coffee and muffin.

There is a large selection of breakfast available and the prices are reasonable. Plastic fork and spoon where uncomfortable to eat with and uneccesary, since we stayed. Big plus, you can sit outside and enjoy your meal in the open

The breakfast bagels were superb and you could get fresh homemade food almost any time of the day or day. The staff were very friendly and quick and efficient.

Great traditional little diner serving everything you could possibly want plus more. Pretty small and a bit cramped but that shows how popular it is You could go here every day for a year and never have the same thing twice. Big portions as well. Can’t vouch for the quality of everything - after all, it’s just a cafe but for what is is, we were impressed.

Corner Cafe is one of the places that you see on almost every block and usually near hostels and hotels. The staff is quick and polite, but not without their quirks. The food is just o'k, but one should expect this. It's odd to see such high reviews for this place because it is not fair to those restaurants that try harder than this establishment. This one definitely gets solid B - grade ... maybe a B.

The food is disgusting! Everything there is very bad! The most weird thing is the mysterious double check on my debit card because the first attempt it was fault...which eventually it was a double charge to me...After a communication with the manager of the store he told me not to bother them...Unacceptable...

The staff here were friendly and there were lots of choice on the menu, both drinks and food, whether it be breakfast, dinner or tea you were after. Agreat stop off point if you are staying in the Days Hotel across the road.

This was our very first experience into the vast NYC restaurant world. We went in without expectation, and walked out happy as well as well fed. Food was excellent.

We used this cafe near enough every day we stayed in New York. Super friendly, yummy food, and a massive choice. I recommend the pastrami sandwich on Rye.

Service quick but very New York...you have to call it out loud if you want them to see you or hear over the glass. The eggplant parmigiana pizza a thumbs up. Yes...this is so New York for me! They have soups and all kinds of paninis and pastries. Would definitely recommend it. My supper was less than fifteen bucks for two slices, and soup and a dolmade **(rice wrapped in a grape leaf).

After walking out of another place just down the street because of awful service, this was a breath of fresh air. Counter help (self service) was outgoing, engaging and helpful and the 3 of us ordered 3 very different types of food, and all was very tasty. I had the falafel sandwich and it was delicious. We ate inside but outside seating was cozy and available. Reasonable prices. Good value. I'll eat here again!

A good selection of home made pastries and other snacks. Coffee in the average, personnel normally kind (not always).Tables outside, where you can eat in sunny days

Breakfast platters were good and well priced. We had 2 omelette platters and a french toast platter and 2 coffees for about $30. I recommend the Iced French Vanilla coffee.

Why should I only review restaurants which I travel across the city for? Half way around the world for even? There's this modest place I go to in between Michelin stars. When I'm too lazy to go anywhere. It's just just downstairs from me. My plate of choice here is the Falafel. It's fried on the spot & the Hummus & Tahini ( which I order on the side) are excellent. I could live on this meal. In fact, I did for about two weeks early this year when I wanted to do my annual nutritional vegan thing. I've crossed Manhattan for Falafels people rave about on blogs, and to be honest these here are not much different, except for some of the accoutrements &'presentation. So, I'm giving them a 5 star rating just for their Falafel... & friendly service & the convenience of it all!

This little place was right across the road from our hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff, great breakfasts with a huge choice.

Wonderful corner café that provides quick service, delicious omelets, and bakery pastries. Nice area to sit under glass ceiling and walls during the fall season.

This Cafe has an excellent menu at good prices. It was handy for us as we stayed across the road from it. Service was always fast, food fresh and hot. Large choice of salads nice fruit. Definitely recommend the Corner Cafe for light meals.

There's a huge, huge erray of dessert options here. The main meals are fairly decent in their price.

The staff were courteous. They have varieties of breakfast meals, lunch meals and snacks. Lovely sitting area with a view of the surroundings. Overall i highly recommend this place.

I went there early in the morning all grumpy! A girl that was working there was so kind and called me love and all haha Good coffe and service!

Nice place to have breakfast, a snack or something! The staff is nice and it's opened 24-7! It's an amazing option if you are staying in days inn - which is in front of the cafe.

On my recent family holiday to New York we ate here every single day. The food is amazing, fairly cheap, and there’s more variety than you could ask for. We found Customer Service to be lacking in New York apart from this cafe. They were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and if I return to New York I will definitely be here every day again.

There is a great variety of food to choose, from pancakes with crispy bacon (yuuuummm), egg whites with ricotta cheese wrap (yuuummmmm) to an array of fresh salads and dips. Must try: their home-made falafel. The folks are super friendly. 94 Corner Cafe puts a smile on my face and prepares me for my day ahead!

They have a wide variety of foods to choose from. I had a turkey quesadilla which had large and juicy pieces of white meat turkey that was very tasty.

This cafe was just over the road from our hotel and we breakfasted there most days. Well priced with quick service. Outdoor and indoor seating.

Stopped off here late on our way home from a concert, tired and ready for bed, but also a quick snack. There was a great selection of pizza slices, subs, sarnies and other delights, vegetation too. The pizza slices were just the ticket, one simple pepperoni and the other spicy buffalo chicken, and the beer to wash it down was just what i wanted. Friendly staff too. The exact kind of spot we lack in the UK. Next time I’m in NYC I’ll be sure to pay a visit!

Had diner here it was the perfect! Good value for money! Good Pizza's and excellent service, the two items that makes this restaurant worth a stop and have a slice.. or two :-)....

I got the vegetarian sandwich with wild mushrooms along with a spinach quiche and I was pleasantly surprised. It was all quite good and tasted rather healthy, without loads of oil dripping off it, like it is at most places in the area that serve veggie sandwiches and quiches. I would come back again, for sure.

Lovely cafe, found by chance as staying in the area for a few days on a solo holiday! Stopped off for breakfast as close to the subway. Had the pancake breakfast deal which included 3 huge pancakes, maple syrup, sausage & coffee for $8.95. A steal compared to what I paid in central manhattan the day before & so much better. In fact I grabbed a takeout honey turkey melted sandwich for lunch as well later which was also delicious. Staff lovely & if I visit again I’ll definitely be back for breakfast pancakes!!

Super friendly staff.The girl behind the counter wanted me to teach her some Irish so she could greet us in our native tongue the next day---SHE DID!!! Amazing food and served very quickly.Breakfast was $15 for both of us!You could ask for a packed lunch of whatever you chose and they would pack it up for you and give you free tea and coffee to go.We loved going here every morning.Highly recommended.

During our stay at the Days Hotel, we would go to this coffee shop for coffee and a quick breakfast. I had the oatmeal with fresh strawberries and bananas one morning and a delicious scone the next morning. I look forward to trying more items on the menu for our next visit.

These guys are awesome. Quick, friendly, good prices, great food. Right across from my hotel, so they were super convenient. They are also a 24 hour location, so you can get some good quality food early or late without having to look for a McDonald's or a Dunks. Tons of food to select from.

Busy little place so be ready to order ASAP when you go in! Stopped in for breakfast (coffee & bagel) when in town. Bagel was fresh, coffee was great. Came back again for lite dinner. I chose the chicken parm pannini... food was hit, made fresh. Prices are about average for NYC. Definitely reccommend!

Staying on the other side of the street we visited corner cafe, food range was good and reasonably priced. The meatball marinara sandwich had to be our favourite and would definitely recommend it.

Traditional American - great selection, great prices, great atmosphere. why don't I have one next door to where I liver

Ate pizza here as it was just opposite our hotel Days Inn. It was good! Maybe a bit more expensive than some places, but convenient to us. Look out for deals as we missed seeing until after we paid. The mozzarella/basil pizza was amazing. And the mushroom one also yum!

While staying at the Days Hotel across the street, we took our breakfasts there, and some dinners also. The place is not expensive and the offer a wide range of food. They serve no alcohol, but they have a nice small terrace.

Food was very good. Simple salad but fresh and good. Great choices for quick food = would not call it fast food since it was a much better menu, options but as quick as fast food. Was nice to sit outside and have a quick bite to eat. Not very expensive.

We stopped in a couple of times last week and enjoyed puzza by the slice. Great menu! Nice to sit outside cafe style. Prices were very reasonable too. Open late.

When you're seeking a comfy casual place where you can sit at their enclosed conversation space and nurse a coffee, a fruit salad, a bowl of soup (fresh daily) scrambled eggs...or larger meals -wraps, beef stew, baked cod, etc. this little joint fills the bill. Sit there for hours, no-one will bother you. Yes, the pastries are sometimes a day (week) old. Don't let it bother you. And Yes, the formica table tops are often chipped. This place is infinitely preferable to the high-flying diners that'll charge you three times as much. Trust me, this is value -and without pretense. I schedule all my business meetings there.

Drop in, the help says "good morning" immediately, and in 5-10 minutes you have your order. Great bagels, but also yogurts, juices, cereals, breads, muffins, etc. etc. Every morning the place was packed. Excellent coffee! Really good prices and no hassles grabbing a bite to eat.

This cafe Excellent choices service and good fresh food, not hard to see why this is a busy cafe great for food on the go or eat in.

Really great for breakfast or a quick dinner. Staff very friendly. Quick service and nice food and quantities. Open early in the morning until late at night.

If you’re in the area of broadway and 94th Avenue, you should visit this place for your meals. The food is normal for a New York cafe but the people are very nice, not typical of New York at all! I had my breakfast there a few times while I was staying at Days Inn across from it and the food was nicer because of the smiles I get from the cashiers! Good way to start a day in New York.

Nice deli just opposite our hotel the staff are very friendly, there is plenty to choose from we went a few times just to grab pastries and muffins which where delicious. One evening I got pork chops and rice the portion was huge and very filling. If your staying at days inn then this place is very handy for breakfast.

This is a typical New York Deli. The choice of foods is huge and it is served by really friendly attentive staff. The quality of the food is excellent and so we ate there quite a lot during our stay in the city that never sleeps.

This cafe was right on the corner of the street our hotel was on, so was the obvious choice for breakfast. At first, the ordering system was slightly baffling for an English girl, mostly due to the fact that everything goes so quickly and the staff are excellent at multitasking. The selection of things you can order is also, as it often is in America, insane. You could probably have asked for any combination of food and you'd have got it! The food is affordable and also so, so tasty. The smoked salmon bagel was to die for. You can also eat in or takeaway, which meant I was able to go down and get breakfast in bed for my fiance. We went there multiple times and had lots of different food, including awesome blueberry pancakes. It's also worth pointing out that the opening times are later than it says in some places. I think it's only shut for a couple of hours a day (maybe 2am to 4am?). Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place to locals and tourists alike.

On one of our NYC 'walkabouts' we stumbled into this cafe for a quick bite. It was terrific. The order-taker rules the roost. You order with her and she yells the orders to the 5-6 guys working the different food areas. They jump go get the order ready while you're paying. Then they deliver the parts to her, she integrates the order. There are two seating areas, one that looks out onto 94th, the other is internal (where you can watch and hear the orders roll in & out. She had a salad, I had two slices of good 'ole NY pizza by the slice... yummmmmmm.... it's been a while. Burned the roof of my mouth...ah, the good ole' days. It's a self-bussing place, so there isn't much service to talk about,except for the guy that cleans up the tables as SOME FOLKS "FORGET."..jeeze...

Best cup of coffee! My husband kept raving about his "cup of Joe"the whole time he drank it. I got a great cup of green tea and fabulous multigrain bagel with cream cheese and he had a bacon, egg& cheese on an everything bagel. Service was fast and courteous and menu was extensive and inexpensive. Also, there was atrium, indoor and outdoor seating available. Definitely recommend this place.

We were in a hotel directly across from this cafe. We went here on our first night for food as it was late and the food was just amazing. We ate in here quite a few times as the food was so fresh, warm and made to order. The staff were incredibly friendly too. They acknowledged you when you came in and when you left which was nice especially being in a different country.

Nice little spot, had everything we needed for early morning breakfast as we started our day! Wish they had ice for the drinks though.

After living 2 blocks away, we finally decided to give it a try. A 4.5" portobello wrap, a salad with a piece of poached salmon that was almost all lettuce salad with a piece of poached salmon, and a small bottle of water. The wrap was stale and accompanied, they said, by "house salad" (tow strands of iceberg lettuce) and a pickle that is variegated due to having been out of the brine and a long exposure to air. The whole meal looked and tasted like leftovers from a K-ration given away in boot camps. All for $20. I know that many people enjoy this kind of inedibles, but anybody with a smidgen of taste should avoid this place at all cost. In this place they charge you $10/lb of salad while just a couple of blocks away, crossing Broadway you can get a beautiful fluffy goat cheese and spinach omelet with roasted potatoes and mesclun, also for $10. Or a block away you can get a whole Thai lunch (and a good one at that) for $8. Why would anybody would want to eat anything here is beyond my comprehension.

I frequented this place for a while and they always remembered my order. I saw this happen for several other guests which tells me they are really keen. The staff was always kind and pleasant yet lighting fast. Even the delivery guys always had a smile and got my order to me at the speed of light. Try the Italian Panini or a bagel with one of the flavored cream cheeses!

Found this joint as we walked to Central Park for our last day, and although it looks like a shop when you walk in, it does have seats for dining inside. It's not your classic American diner but it does have diner food as well as other food you can take out. The prices were around 30% less than other diners we have eaten in, so if you like a diner breakfast and want to pay less then this place will do you just right as it did us. They do coffee but only in take out cups and no free refills. We saw they serve pizza for lunches, and there is a $1 charge on breakfast food if ordered after 1130am so be aware of that.

we stayed at the days hotel which is literally across the road from this amazing little cafe, the pizza here is to die for and the staff were so unbelievably friendly every day we went in. We needed a cup of tea in the morning (typical British people) and we were not disappointed, the english breakfast tea here was amazing and we had some lovely cakes from the counter too. Can't recommend this place enough, saved us from going without brews.

Ate here everyday while in NYC. Great bagels with lox and cream cheese. Huge variety of foods. I ate breakfast most days, lunch twice, and dinner once. Tried 6 varieties of pastries and most looked better than they were but sandwiches, pizza and bagels were good. Service is not the greatest and at times they seemed disorganized but it was right across the street from our hotel and was very convenient.

Has to be the best coffee in New York by far, loved it had one every morning and at night, the decaf was brilliant, wish they did it over here

Wonderful cheap healthy food, take out or delivery is spot on. Fresh food cooked with care. Highly recommend.

This place has everything for breakfast, lunch, dinner or for just a snack. They are conveniently located on the corner across from the Days Inn hotel and will cook what you request to order so your food is always hot and fresh. The workers are very nice and patient. Great place to relax and enjoy!

Food is fine but the personnel is great! Always a welcoming smile! They're patient with people that just can't make up their mind (like moi...). I loved stopping by every morning to grab breakfast and coffee on the go!

This is a great place to go if your in the area and want something to grab for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It was right across from the hotel and was a great place to grab something quick in between stops.

I like this place. It's a little deli on the corner of Broadway and 94th Street, open from dawn till after midnight, has a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options and, best of all, it's right across the street from the Days Inn, where I stay when I visit NYC. My wife and I have been coming back to this upper west side neighborhood ever since we gave up an apartment in the area and we have often stopped by 94CC on our way to the 96th Street subway station. More often than not, this is where we breakfast. The ladies behind the counter will always greet you with a smile and big hello. The guys on the grill will cook you up a morning repast in no time flat: eggs, omelets (any kind!), pancakes, french toast, bagels (with or without lox), yogurt, fruit. For lunch or dinner you can get a variety of entrees and/or soups, salads, sandwiches (I am partial to the chicken cutlet), panini, wraps, quesadillas, quiche, pizza, vegetarian dishes, burgers, lasagna and other pasta, and don't forget to check out their extensive bakery items. They have a faux Hostess cupcake that'll knock your sox off! The service is fast and you can eat in the main section (there are several tables adjacent to the food prep area) or in the glass-enclosed room a few feet away. When weather permits, you can eat outside on the sidewalk patio and do a little people-watching. Yes, there are fancier diners in the neighborhood, but you can't beat the speed, the value and the variety.

The pancakes were quite good, but I would recommend the place only if you do not have more than a few minutes and still would like a fast, relatively good breakfast.
