Milk And Honey Cafe

Had a lovely brunch at Milk & Honey Café! The French toast was absolutely amazing. We also tried the croissant sandwich, salmon Eggs Benedict, and the Habibi breakfast plate—solid 8/10. The Egyptian egg sandwiches had a bit too much spice for my taste, maybe a 6/10. The atmosphere is great, though! I do wish they had a kids’ menu.

I had such a wonderful experience here! The staff was incredibly welcoming and provided excellent service from start to finish. The food was delicious—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I have been to both locations & the atmosphere is amazing as well, with a cozy, relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay longer. Whether you’re grabbing coffee or sitting down for brunch, this place is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!

I’ve been here twice and always get the steak sandwich with roasted potatoes. It tasted absolutely delicious. The freshly squeezed juices always are on point. My only issues are that I don’t like that you have to get up your table to order and that for the type of food you are getting prices are extremely expensive in my opinion. I paid $40 for my sandwich and a juice. Overall, the atmosphere is nice and staff is very welcoming and friendly.

•	We chose this café because it looked very nice, clean, and elegant in the Google Maps photos. Unfortunately, the reality did not match the pictures.
•	The place was not well organized or very clean, which was disappointing.
•	We had friends visiting from another country and invited them here, but when we saw the atmosphere, we even thought about leaving. We decided to stay only because we were short on time.
•	The cashier gave us the menus and said we could sit anywhere and come back to the counter to order. There were six of us, so my husband took everyone’s order and went to pay at the counter.
•	The food came quickly, and it tasted good — thankfully! The food was halal, which we appreciated.
•	However, we had to go to the counter every time we wanted coffee or even water, and we had to pay separately each time.
•	Despite having many employees, no one paid attention to the tables. The service system and management really need improvement.
•	Prices were a bit high for the quality and service level.
•	Parking was also difficult. Even on a Sunday, we had to park quite far away on another street.
•	Around lunchtime, it became very crowded.

👉 The food was delicious, but overall, the experience was not comfortable.
Next time, I would only order takeout, not dine in. Still, thank you.

I stopped by Milk and Honey Café and absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for relaxing with a good coffee or brunch. The drinks were smooth and flavorful, and the food tasted so fresh, especially the toasts. The staff were warm and attentive, making the whole experience feel personal. It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to come back to again and again.

Bigwell Bakery and Halal Restuarant

Bigwell Bakery and Halal Restaurant is amazing, the food especially the lamb, duck and chicken curry was delicious. I had catering done here for my party of 150 people, and all my guests said the food was delicious and tasty.  The food was suppose to arrived at 5:30pm and surprisingly it got there exactly on time. Definitely would recommend. They even called me the next day to follow up, and make sure everything was up liking. Thank you guys

I wanted to eat at the place next door, but they didn’t have what I wanted. So, I went to this restaurant, and it turned out great! I was very skeptical about the fried rice but it was one of the best I had in NY. They can do better with the portion/ packaging the food though.

Food is great. I daughter went to pick food. She had the worst experience. There were 2 guys and a girl hang out with the young man that’s a cashier. One of the guys was clearly drunk, offering to pay for 15 year old daughter food. The other guy was smoking his vapor. The young girl with them looks like she had some drinks too.

The cheese rolls tasted fresh and delicious. The pine tart also looked fresh. The fried chicken and fried rice were tasty. The coconut water is so good and from Guyana.

The service was horrible . The server didn’t seem like she wanted to be there nor did she want to help me when I had questions about the food. She moved slow and gave me all the bones in the lamb soup. I’ve had better roti at other spots and I’d suggest you guys to skip this place too.

Halal menu available. Ask staff for details.

Fitoor Cafe & Grill Lounge

Fitoor Cafe & Grill absolutely blew me away. The hookah was amazing, smooth, and easily one of the best I have had in a long time. The food was out of this world, honestly the best late night food I have ever had, especially for a lounge. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and far beyond what I expected.

The service was super fast and everyone was really friendly, which made the whole experience even better. The vibe and aesthetic inside are incredible too. It is relaxing, modern, and a great place to unwind.

Highly recommend. This place is a gem.

I had such a great experience here! The food was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth every penny. I also want to highlight the guy who served me my food he was so sweet, polite. His kindness really made the visit even better. I appreciate great customer service, and he delivered it effortlessly. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Wow! I love this place. Ordered the Lamb Chops and the portion was so good for the price. It also tasted really good, what a great chef! Atmosphere was brilliant too.

Poorly vented area. The moment you walk in, the room itself is filled with smoke.

Upgrade your ventilation system! Revamp your place.
More importantly, the Hookah isn't that good here, probably the worse one that I've had in NY.

I've been to so many places in Montreal and I don't think any are this bad.

Not to mention they're charging just as much as other Hookah places in NY.

20 percent gratuity on subpar service, hookah, and food that came out while we were walking out. And $4 for the cheapest kind of bottled water? Guess business was slow for a Sunday night and had to make up for it by scamming us.. Well, def won't be coming back here.

Avoid if good hookah, integrity, and great service is what you're expecting... Extremely disappointed!!

Pause Cafe

Pause Cafe was great! I just stopped in for a cup of black coffee, but they did a great job and it was a really cool environment. It seems like the perfect spot to meet a friend, work on a group project, or just get out of the house and enjoy your surroundings. Would highly recommend!

Great little cafe with lots of affordable options. They had an excellent array of pastries as well as about items and smoothie bowls. I went with the Pause Cafe Egg sandwich and loved it. It was super delicious! My son had a chocolate croissant and I was happy with the price tag on that at under $5 after having paid up to ten at other places. Husband had a bagel. Great array of choices.

This place is my favorite coffee shop in the city. The coffee is absolutely delicious. I always have a black Americano without milk. And my boyfriend always orders a cappuccino with almond milk, the presentation is always impeccable and always very pleasing to the eye.

The food is delicious and very provocative, everything always looks fresh and well presented.

It is a unique place in the city.
The dishes, glasses mugs and cups are delicately selected in beautiful Moroccan style. I love that it gives a very special, unique and authentic atmosphere and feeling. And they even sell some Moroccan beautiful handicrafts such as glasses, plates, cups, oils, and chai teas.

Super cozy and always warm cause the smell of freshly ground and brewed coffee, simply delicious.
It's a super nice place to sit, read, write, and have a good conversation with friends.
It has a great morroccan atmosphere, I love the music.

Computers and laptops not allowed.

Such a cute and cozy cafe right across Clinton st with better pricing and no wait lines. Only bummer was they dint let me use the laptop as they have a new policy and I missed the sign on the entrance.

A gorgeous cafe, amazing for catching up with friends (not so much if you’re looking to work). For a small place, there is tons of seating, but also you will be about 1ft away from the next seated pair. The sandwiches are greatly portioned, potatoes are amazing and the chai was rich.

Cozy coffeehouse serving breakfast, sandwiches & smoothies in a homey space with Moroccan accents.
