Reviews For The Times Eatery

First time I went there I took a cream cheese bagel to take away because there was not enough place to sit. I had the chance to eat it at Times Square which is really nearby. I loved it so we came back a second time. We dine-in this time and I took a typical American breakfast. I don’t remember the name but I can tell it was really tasty ! The time of preparation was correct and the prices were rather representative of the quality and quantity. I recommend this place to everyone because there’s pastries but also bagel and eggs and bacon,... so no matter if you like sweet breakfast or salty. You’ll find something you like !

The staff is great! Amazing everything bagels with cream cheese. Definitely a better breakfast option than lunch IMO. Lox, bagels and bagel sandwiches are the way to go here.

Delicious food, staff eager to help, nice view and good atmosphere. The pickle was haunting, but that's okay.

Well priced for Times Square (I paid 12 for a burrito) and good selection of sandwiches, burritos and lots of sweets! Super friendly staff. I’d drop in here again!

Very nice and comfortable place to get some food, snacks and coffee. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, they can help you if you don’t find something in the menu they can make it for you whatever you want to eat, fresh food, juices, coffee and pastries. Karina y Fidel were very helpful... it was an unforgettable experience taking brunch with friends and all this Mexican guys that they were so attentive. Even though the place looks small it’s one of my best recommendations around The Times Square, prices are reasonable, hygiene and quality. Great location, good menu and variety of drinks including coffee, smoothies and natural shakes. There’s no big lines cause the staff works really good.

The most clean eating place in New York! Great food, amazing, friendly, happy staff! The cafe is right across the Westin Hotel where we stay this week, and I am happy we have such an amazing cafe place so close! We had breakfast and dinner there; I felt like a family member!
