This is such a great neighborhood cafe! The coffee and breakfast options are excellent, but their paninis and pastries are even better! There are three tables inside and high top seating at the window. There are also seats outside.We loved the macarons! Buy 5 and get the 6th free for $12 and they were great! All the staff were friendly and service was quick.

This is a small cafe with a huge personality! There is kindness and warmth radiating from every corner. What puts it all together is the genuinely amazing drinks and foods that are offered here. It’s mostly affordable, and def has made my experience as a college student a little bit better :)

Had a pretty good lunch here recently. I ordered on seamless and picked it up and it looks like the prices are higher to order through that than in store. They were really busy and it took 30! mins for my food to be ready which I was pretty annoyed by. The inside is small and they have some outdoor seating. I ordered the Italian wrap and it was good. I’ve had it from here before and this time wasn’t as good, honestly. I also tried the spicy beef sandwich with sauce on the side. It was good but entirely fell apart so it was hard to eat. Overall, I’d say the food was good but the wait was way too long for me.It looked like a lot of people were getting coffee and special drinks so maybe I’ll try one instead next time.

Omg prob my fav spot after my house & the bookstore, i absolutely love getting food here, it’s next to uni so it’s like literally perfect, they have amazing breakfast options, super healthy also and v affordable, only $4 ish for a sausage egg & cheese! my fav lunch items is the greek avocado on a spinach wrap and the mozz panini w salad and sometimes w jalapeño chips (rlly spicy)!but the BEST thing is prob the mozz & peppers and the iced vanilla chai w oat, their iced coffee is also good bc it’s only $4 and comes with an espresso shot so it’s like perfect when studying, also the muffins are daily baked (my fav is the double choc muffin w butter) and when it’s cold it’s perfect to study but it gets like rlly busy! 🎧☕️

Fun spot. Had breakfast to go with my daughter and wife. The food was great and freshly made, the service was prompt. We noted that police and college students were the main customers and it was busy in a good way.We had variations of egg bagels - all reasonably priced and delicious.Highly recommend!

Went there for the first time today at 2:00 pm and it was packed!!!! Line out the door. No standing space. But the workers are very good at keeping things moving! Polite and nice. Great food for a decent price. I ordered a black bean burger and tuna spinach wrap. 2 free chips come with it. Total was $12.96.

Hands down the best coffee anywhere near city college. Also they have amazing sandwiches, definitely a top lunch spot in the neighborhood. The staff are super friendly. This place is a great family owned cafe with tons of regulars. I recommend the hazelnut coffee and the BLT, the best place for a BLT!!!

Love this place! Went to City College and I used to always come here with my friends and get the black bean burger or their pre-maid salads. This was between the years of 2013 and 2016. I just came back recently in 2024, and their black bean burger still taste amazing!! I get my burger on a wrap. I would recommend getting the black bean burger. 👌🏿

Everyone comes here for a reason.The staff are so friendly, definitely a highlight to my mornings, or afternoons depending on my mood.I usually get a matcha or chai, equally good. I prefer spice for my chai but when I want something sweeter I go for vanilla. Whatever I get, the barista does it amazingly.Theres plenty of good food there too. I put up a pic of a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. They also have a good chicken sandwich, the spicy chicken, that I recommend.I recently tried the chicken Chipotle. I’m not a fan of tomato but it definitely did its job in the chicken Chipotle. The juices and the lighter tomato balanced out the stronger and meaty chipotle chicken, so I recommend leaving in the tomato this one time.There’s usually a bit of wait time but it’s so worth it, if you’re in a crunch def call ahead

The Beagle excellent. The macaron is amazing. Owner was very helpful for someone from another country.

Was looking for a lunch place, the line was almost out the door, very friendly, food, reasonably priced, got a turkey Panini that came with a salad for $9.50, pretty good for Manhattan. Cherry danish was pretty good too, coffee was average. Best thing about the place is you can get a variety of food, price is right, and the vibe is good. Not a fancy place, best if you want to grab lunch to go.

If you need a place to go for a good sandwich this is it. I had to wait a bit, but good things come to those who wait because the food is delicious. I was pleasantly greeted and treated.

Review 13 (2024-06-24 - Rating: 4)
The food here is not bad. just pricey since it’s by university and all. however, the wait time is horrible. They move quite slow. i’ve been here for 25 minutes for a regular chicken wrap. ..

First time ordering from this cafe. I bought the chicken pesto panini with a side salad and wow, it was delicious! The panini was grilled to perfection and so crisp. I really enjoyed it, and for that price includes a salad which you cannot go wrong! Also the cashier was very attentive and friendly. Next time I’m trying their drinks. Highly recommend!

This place has good coffee, and the owner Katlyn is so friendly. The only thing is that this place would need a fix someday! The food and variety/ quality are lovely too. Do jot think twice. They gave gotten much quicker with their orders as opposed to previous years💯💯

Great spot for a nice and fast breakfast. Good coffee, a vast section of tea, great menu (featuring one of the best Carrot Cakes I have tried in a long time). The staff is very friendly and the service is very efficient! They are still maintaining social distancing and masks are required to enter and to place your order. Obviously you can take your mask off once you are eating in the outside seating area.

Review 21 (2020-02-20 - Rating: 5)
Cafe one offers a great menu variety. Their black bean burgers are so so good. It is a great place to sit down and enjoy a coffee and a bite, of course, when it is not peak hour. During lunch hours the lines can be out the door. I advise going outside of that time. Their dessert selection is varied and tasty, I used to treat myself to their macaroons and fruit tarts. The owners are great, super nice, personable talking to Susan made me feel good even if it was small talk. A gem in the neighborhood.

Review 22 (2023-01-04 - Rating: 5)
Cafe One is a great place for breakfast and lunch. Weve seen many students lined up there from City College and they know where the good food is at near their school so we went too. The line can be long but its a great cafe. We love how they support the students by placing their artwork on the walls. As for the food, we enjoyed their everything bagel with cream cheese for breakfast. It was delicious, the bagel tasted fresh and the cream cheese was creamy. They put a lot of everything seasoning which is good because some places skimp on everything seasoning. Glad they make it worth it. We also ordered their Black Bean Burger for lunch. This was a great vegetarian option for a burger. It tasted good with the seasoning on it as well. The bun was soft and the lettuce and tomato were a great fresh combo with the black beans.

Review 25 (2018-08-17 - Rating: 5)
This is one of the best-kept secrets in NYC. I lived behind here for over a year and used to stop by often. I came back here to visit and do some work. The place is always clean, beautiful, and excellent customer service. The people that come in are kind and the food is great. A lot of healthy teas and drinks from all types of cultures, great sandwiches, everything is fresh and very detailed. You cant ask for a better place to relax, eat, and more.

Review 26 (2016-07-15 - Rating: 4)

Best service in New York they genuinely care about people! Ive been coming since spring, this place has become part of my daily routine. Because they treat you like family and Ive never once seen them off. They work fast and efficiently with warmth and grace, and they do it every time! I truly look forward to Cafe One everyday

Review 29 (2017-04-05 - Rating: 5)
Crowded but for the right reason. If you want to have a reasonably priced delicious lunch or a wholesome snack and can wait for 10-15 minutes to get your food, this place is for you.Its literally a signature cup of coffee of CCNY students since they managed to nail the price to taste ratio.It is not the cheapest, but definitely worth it.

Review 30 (2016-03-12 - Rating: 5)
My favorite cafe in the the area, they have some of the best chai tea lattes I have ever had! They also have insanely good prices on fresh OJ. The cheapest I have seen in the city so far. Staff always remembers you, place is always clean, and the vibe is friendly. They even feature local artists on the walls. Great place!

Review 31 (2016-07-13 - Rating: 5)
Love the place, love the food, love the people. Definitely a place to check out and go to. As a college student, its perfect to grab some grub in between study sessions or class. It can get pretty full at times because it is a popular spot but the service moves rather fast and furious he energy is great.

Review 32 (2018-09-06 - Rating: 5)
Fast and fresh breakfast and tea!Normally I get a bagel with cream cheese and a cup of tea before early morning class.Good price and good people are working here.Almost always busy, need to have some enough time to stay on the line.

Review 33 (2016-09-16 - Rating: 5)
This place is my salvation! I started working at City College 2014 Summer and was initially bummed at the lack of food choices on The Hill. However Cafe One reigns supreme when it comes to bright, friendly staff and customer service. It can get packed around lunchtime, so try to get in there before noon or it becomes a madhouse. However the line moves quickly and rarely are there any hang-ups or snafus. Several similar shops have gone out of business in the nabe due to their shoddy pricing and terrible service. Cafe One outshines them all. If not for my need for culinary variety, Id eat there daily. You wont be disappointed!

I lived in Harlem for 2 yrs from 2016-2018. This place was the best then and is the best now. My husband and I went last week and the food, coffee, and staff is still the best ever.

This is a cozy college cafe with great options for coffee, snacks, smoothies, soups, breakfast, and sandwiches. Prices are fair. The employees are efficient and take the time to converse, some even learn your name. The seating is limited. The ingredients are always fresh.

Review 37 (2018-07-05 - Rating: 5)
Stayed in NYC about 2 blocks away and found this place for breakfast the second day. You know the prices and the food is good when half of the NYPD shows up everyday and tells you it is the best breakfast in town! We are from Vermont and the food is good quick and reasonable ❤️

Review 40 (2019-12-08 - Rating: 5)
Probably the only desent places by city college (a non bottega style deli) where you can get a quick fix for coffee, sandwiches, pastries, and etc. It is ran by a korean couple who take their time to recognize every person that walks into the door (Susan, the owner, memorizes every single customers name!!). They have a variety of sandwiches on the menu that are unique from ur typical deli sandwiches. The price is really affordable for the quality and the taste. I only wish that the menu can be updated because Ive been going here for years now and I have probably tried every single sandwich items. Also, avoid lunch times, it gets crazy busy there. Order by phone to avoid the line.

Beautiful place with a great choice of beers and drinks. It is getting more and more expensive (one small coffee is around $5) but its the perfect spot to work, chill, and join some crafts/game club.

This was my first visit to Café One and it will definitely not be my last. I can around 11 AM on a Saturday morning and it was not too busy, but the traffic started to pick up as I waited on my food.I ordered an Egg, Cheese, and Bacon sandwich on a 7 Grain Bagel, Grab-n- Go fresh squeezed orange juice, and a Gluten-free Apple Cheddar Scone.I was able to just pick up my orange juice which was in prepackaged plastic cups with lids. A couple of minutes later, my scone came out warm as requested. About 5 minutes later my sandwich came out. It was warm and cut in half like I like it and it was amazing.They have a variety of coffee and healthy options but I didnt get any. Im sure they were equally amazing.This will definitely be one of my stops every time I am in NYC.

Review 51 (2019-04-21 - Rating: 4)
While having a conversation with the current owner, it was expressed that their premise is to bring healthy gourmet treats uptown, and that is exactly what Cafe One does. From gourmet pastries, to at least 4 choices of Hale and Hearty soups on a daily, to personal sized quiches, paninis, beverages that range from Pelligrino choices to Maine Root Spicy Ginger Brew Soda, along with made to order smoothies--you cannot go wrong by making this place a nutritious knoshing spot!

Good neighborhood café (especially in a sea of neighborhood bodegas) with decent sandwiches and coffee.The one zonk against this place is that they are INCREDIBLY slow during peak hours. At minimum, at least 5-7 minutes of waiting in line just to order and then another 10-15+ minutes to receive your order. Definitely dont go here if youre in a hurry / looking for quick service.

.Pros:(+) Susan, the owner is great and so personable(+) Staff is friendly and pleasant(+) Vegetarian, vegan options(+) To-go food options and tasty desserts(+) Catering and delivery(+) Show cases art from talented local artists(+) Member points cardCons:(-) Space is an issue during peak hours. The round tables are awkwardly in the way and hard to get around with the people standing waiting for their order. They need to replace the round tables with more space saving furniture.

Love this place. A great spot for a quick veggie or deli sandwich and coffee to-go, and a staple for CCNY students/faculty/staff. The staff are super friendly and professional.

Review 121 (2019-08-21 - Rating: 4)
Food is surprisingly good. The coffee is a little overpriced and the lines are very long during lunch but probably some of the best around the neighborhood, they make a lot of specialty cups.In general, pretty expensive but very convenient location and good quality products. I recommend.

LOVE this place. amazing coffee and super sweet baristas.

Review 123 (2018-06-14 - Rating: 5)
You know.. for a place that has a line literally coming out the door, they’re pretty quick with their services. Very nice & friendly people. Food is pretty good too. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for something good on the go.Prices are also decent as well. Wish the place was bigger but other than that, great spot for college students to get their daily dose of caffeine and sweets!

By far the best place by campus. People are so loving and actually care about their customers. Everything is fresh and healthy! I have never had one bad experience from there. I feel like they are family, they even get to know their customers personally!!

Great place! Packed with customers. Coffee was good. We had a pulled pork sandwich which was huge and came with a free bag of chips for only 6.95. Will definitely visit again.

Cafe One is our favorite place to go first thing weekend mornings. Their coffee is the best in town, their pastries are positively unmatched, and the staff is always warm and friendly. Dont miss this busy little cafe if youre ever in the neighborhood.

They Served the best carrot cake ever! and I know about carrot cakes ;)The people there treat you super great and if you are a regular,like me, they take their time to know your name so next time you come you feel like one of the family and not a guest. Love their chicken pesto!

Review 132 (2017-07-29 - Rating: 4)
Great place to grab something to bite. They have panini and other sandwiches, soups and even sushi. Good selection of desert, such as cupcakes and cakes, macaroons, muffins, donuts and others. Their prices are pretty reasonable, and the food overall is good for the money. The main issue about this place is that is near city college and many students go there, creating long line of customers, especially around lunch time.

Review 135 (2019-04-09 - Rating: 5)
I literally get treated like family. They know and remember my name and my usual order. The food is delicious and fresh. So worth what your paying. It is a cozy little family owned spot. Can get busy but on a slow day it’s nice to sit there and relax. When in a rush they definelty help by taking phone orders. Just amazing I love this place and have been going for years.

Best lunch spot in the neighborhood! They have a great selection of pastries, sandwiches, soups, and salads.Also, I love that their default iced coffee is a red eye (coffee plus shot of espresso). Any other cafe they would charge you extra, which makes the iced coffee the best deal in town!

I love Cafe One! It’s open and the owners make the best Caffe Americano that I’ve every had! I also love their frequent customer card which provides you with a free coffee (any size, any kind) once you hit the amount! #food #NYC

My go-to for breakfast and lunch! Susan and company go above and beyond to make customers feel at home. I recommend the tuna panini, though it’s hard to go wrong.

Review 143 (2018-12-17 - Rating: 4)
The sandwiches here are amazing and the staff are always polite. Its a great spot to stop by for City College students and locals alike. The only thing I would say is that their iced coffee is a little subpar compared to their hot coffee.Also dont expect to find seating easily. It can get very crowded here and even when you do find a seat, the noise wont mean a relaxing time here.

This place is beyond amazing! Everything is reasonably priced, and the staff are attentive and incredibly friendly. Most important, though, the spicy beef sandwich is, honestly, one of the best things that I have ever eaten in my life!

Always packed with customers. Good to call ahead to order if you are in a hurry. Good food. I usually go for veg options (humus salad, eggplant sandwitch, black been burgers etc).Small place but much liked around ccny.

Go to place for CCNY students (as the line out the door can sometimes tell you!). The service is incredible, with the people there knowing pretty much every customers name. Food is good, with a a lot of options from sandwiches to salads to personal pizzas. Definitely worth beating the rush and getting there slightly earlier!

Super-cute, and a delicious menu. the turkey club comes on real wheat bread with sliced cumber and really Real tasting tomatoes. the personal pizza and meatball subs are also a great choice! and if you dont want to wait for a cronut, try their variety of crossnut flavors! They get busy at lunch time, but are well worth the wait!
