Crema's Take
“The Belgian waffles here are genuinely excellent—the "WMD" loaded with bananas, strawberries, chocolate, and whipped cream is worth the detour alone—though you'll pay premium prices ($20+) for the full breakfast experience. The cozy, family-friendly spot near Central Park pulls in a steady crowd of tourists and locals alike, with solid coffee and a thoughtful restroom that locals actually appreciate. It's best treated as a leisurely sit-down spot rather than a quick grab-and-go, especially if you're expecting substantial portions.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

After leaving nearby Central Park, I stopped here to use their restroom and get a fresh coffee. Both were great. The restroom was clean and well maintained & the coffee was hot and delicious. The staff here is friendly and the place is decorated for Halloween. There were some…
This place is wonderful. Beautiful place with a great ambiance, a clean fresh restroom, and great seating. We were a little skeptical when they showed us how small a waffle we'd be getting for the price. But once all the toppings go on the small waffle is actually very…
