Effy's Cafe

This diner can take you out of NYC as soon as you walk in the door. Delicious food, excellent vibes. I came with my mother and she was enthralled by the music and decor. The food was great and the staff was polite. I’d recommend this place to anyone!Food: 5/5

This place is a hidden gem on 100th street and Lexington Avenue on the Upper East side of manhattan. It’s beautifully decorated, there is a bathroom which is always nice to have in Manhattan, and they serve healthful food and drinks. The prices are really very reasonable for Manhattan and the portions are great for those reasonable prices. And the taste of the food was great. The eggs, baguette toast, and potatoes were just perfect. The eggs were done well with some milk and perfectly salted and not salty, the potatoes were almost like Yukon Gold tasting even if they weren’t, and they were flavored with just the right seasoning including rosemary, and the baguette was soft and chewy inside and crispy on the outside. The smoothie was a large portion, the salad was so healthful with kale and almonds and sweet potato w a balsamic vinegar sauce, and the chicken wings were lightly battered and crispy on a bed of arugula. Just the right portions and had some leftovers. Try this place! Enjoy the quaint feel and decorations also.

I enjoyed my veggie omelet a lot. It came with spinach, kale, onion, tomato, olive, and avocado with an option of two sides. My two sides were home fries and boguette Italian bread. My issue was after I asked the lady at the register to clean the table I chose to sit at. The chick pointed all the other tables. "I could sit at." Well, I stood there waiting for to clean it, and she did. At first, I thought she was having a bad day. But then I came back two weeks later, and the Asian women at the register were still acting nasty towards me. This week, the Asian women placed my water on the other side of the table, where no one was sitting. However, I noticed she was more pleasant to the Caucasian women sitting next to me. Oh, and they also have a bunch of flies flying around. So pack your patience, bug spray, and a cocktail.

Great service and delicious food at a very nice price, definitely will come back! Food: 5/5

Been here for breakfast twice, and it was really quiet both times, the first time I was the only person in there. It’s a really lovely cafe, the food was amazing, I really recommend the pancakes, and the smoothies were huge and delicious. Loved coming here and would love to come back here some time.Food: 5/5

Came here for brunch with my roommate and it was a cute lil spot and definitely very popular on the weekends. They have a lot to choose from and I love the Mediterranean inspired sections of the menu. They also do a bottomless $25 mimosas deal BUT you have to purchase one of the listed platters for it to be applicable. Had a great time and it was lovely service!!

We were seated outside it was nice. The food was good but I like it better at Effy’s Cafe. It was fresherFood: 4/5

I love Effy's Caffe, it has been around for many years, the food is outstanding, tasty and delicious, and fresh. Prices are extremely reasonable, I love that location because it is less crowded than the others. It is quiet, I go there for a nice solo lunch, Sunday brunch or when i have to take calls during the week and crave a delicious warm and affordable lunch!! Go EFFY We love you thanks for serving our neighborhood so generously:

Very good quality food for a pretty good value, especially the weekend breakfast special. In general, everything that I've had has been pretty good from the omelette, breakfast sandwich, pancakes and the shakshuka. The only thing that was mediocre was actually the coffee. Otherwise, I like the food, service and overall comfortable experience that I have had every time I've been there. Oh, and if you pay in cash, they will give you a discount.

Been there twice with my six year old for breakfast after his doctor's appointment at Mount sinai. One thing he always clean his plate to my surprise. The two menu's i tried was the Avocado toast and egg plater and Effys breakfast delicious . Highly recommended. My son always go for pancakes with hot chocolate.
