Crema's Take
“Isla & Co. nails the hard-to-find combo of serious specialty coffee and genuinely excellent Australian-style brunch in a surprisingly calm hotel lobby setting that feels like a secret escape from Midtown chaos. The espresso martini flights and creative signature drinks rival the food, and the high ceilings and natural light make it feel more like a leisurely café than a rushed weekday spot, even when it's packed. If you want to linger over coffee and a perfectly executed breakfast burrito without feeling rushed, this is worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

We had been meaning to try this spot for a while and like that it a quiet respite in midtown. The high ceiling gives the restaurant a very airy quality. There is something for everyone on the menu I think whether vegetarian or not, drinking cocktails/beer/wine or coffee and tea,…
Update: We decided to return to try more of the menu. Unfortunately, our second visit wasn’t as successful as the first. The breakfast burrito was enjoyable, but the fried chicken sandwich fell short—the bun was dry. I wish the pudding came with more sauce. Really generous…
The food, cocktails and friendly service were great. We came in for a late lunch, to try their expresso martini flights and their Australian food. Everything was delicious. It happened to be Happy Hour from 3-6 so we ordered some appetizers to share along with unique martini…
