We had an absolutely amazing experience at Mr. Purple in New York. The rooftop views were unlike anything else, truly breathtaking. I also want to give a hugh shoutout to our wonderful server Courtnee. Thank you, Courtnee, for making our first visit so special and for recommending The Formula for our meal. The steak was cooked to perfection and literally melted in my mouth. Incredible food, outstanding service, and all delivered with a warm, genuine smile. I'm so happy we had such an unforgettable dining experience-thank you, Courtnee!

came in today for a drink with a girlfriend and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Wasn’t too busy or loud around 6pm. Drinks were good, and the views from the rooftop are beautiful! We enjoyed a special where you get a steak, fries and martini for $35 that our server Alma recommended and it was great. Will come again

I had the absolute best experience at Mr. Purple the other night! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was perfect. What really made my night, though, was the incredible service. My server, Elma, was beyond amazing. She knew the menu inside out and gave spot-on recommendations for drinks. Between the great vibes, top-tier drinks, and exceptional service, it will become my new go-to spot. If you go (and you should!), definitely ask for Elma, you’ll be in great hands!

I’ve been coming to Mr. Purple for months, and honestly, the place wouldn’t feel the same without Ricky. She’s not just an incredible bartender, she’s the reason the night hits differently. Ricky has this rare way of making you feel instantly welcome, remembered, and taken care of. Your drink is always perfect, the service never feels forced, and the energy she brings behind the bar is unmatched. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that kind of service is rare. The views are stunning, the vibe is iconic, but Ricky is the magic. She turns a great night into an unforgettable one. Once you’ve been served by her, you get it.Thank you Mr. Purple for having someone like Ricky behind the bar. She is truly one of a kind and the reason this place feels so special. Her energy, care, and attention to detail make every visit memorable. Places are made great by people like her, and you’re lucky to have her.

Came here on a weekday while visiting NYC was a bit quiet but Elma was my server and made my experience so amazing. Not only was she super personable but recommended some amazing drinks, she even invited me back for the summer when the rooftop is open. I ended up staying longer than expected ! Will definitely be back and bring some friends. Views were beautiful as well.

I've been here a few times. Service was friendly, and they gave good suggestions on the dipping sauces. The churros are nice and crisp on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. Very tasty! Would recommend.

First time here while I’m visiting from California! Phil and Denis were awesome and gave great recommendations :)

I've been longing for v. churros for a long time, but I did not want to make them myself, lol. This place has some amazing churros. I don't know if there are more churro spots in Manhattan, but this has to be one of the best churros in Manhattan. The outside is perfectly crunchy while the inside is chewy. We didn't get any additions or sauces cause we wanted to try it in its base form...it did not disappoint. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Manhattan.

Really tasty churros. They have a great crispiness, and they're not too cinnamony for those who don't like cinnamon. Tables are set up with 8 chairs so if it gets busy you may need to share a table with others.

Crispy on the outside and chewy inside, these churros are perfectly golden and lightly dusted with sugar. The rich, velvety dark chocolate dipping sauce made each bite irresistibly satisfying.

The churros are delicious wholesome, non greasy, just perfect, the hot chocolate is rich and thick, very yummy! I know a bit about churros and chocolate, since I grew up in Madrid and my wife is from Buenos Aires, places well known for both delicacies! Customer service is outstanding, Shareem (maybe I got his name wrong?) sorry, the “cute guy with freckles” was very sweet, great attitude and personality! Thank you!

My daughter was dreaming of vegan churros and that's how we ended up at El Churro! The staff was helpful (they checked the ingredients for us) and super friendly! Large portions. We highly recommend them 🙂

A Pleasant Surprise — Truly Gluten-Free Churros That Taste Like the OG! What a pleasant surprise to stumble upon this spot! As someone who recently committed to a gluten-free diet, I’ve had a hard time enjoying my favorite desserts — but this place completely blew me away on my first day in Manhattan. Their churros are surprisingly gluten-free and taste just like the original ones! The texture is perfect — crisp on the outside, soft on the inside — and the flavor options make it even better. They have around ten different dips to choose from, and as a lemon-pie lover, I instantly fell in love with their lemon cheesecake dip. It was lemony, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweet — absolutely perfect. The ube flavor was another standout — so unique and delicious. Everything felt thoughtfully made and super satisfying. Plus, the churros are very affordable, which makes this place even more of a gem. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves churros or is looking for a gluten-free dessert that doesn’t compromise on taste. A total win in my New York dessert adventures! 🍋💜🍩

Best churro you will ever eat. Coffee was great as well.

The Churros were delicious, and incredibly long as well. So getting 3 was more than enough for two people. I had the Dulce de leche dipping and it was amazing. The churro itself was crispy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. The place itself is very pleasing to the eye, and the place looks very clean. The staff was friendly as well. Definitely recommend this place!

The churros were absolutely delicious — crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. What really stood out was the variety of dipping sauces available. I tried the matcha and taro flavors, and both were vibrant and unique, adding a creative twist to the classic treat. The colors and flavors made the whole experience feel fun and a bit unexpected — in the best way!

I love this place. Underrated. The churros are vegan and GLUTEN FREE. So great. I love the music they play and the people who work there and the sayings printed on the windows. The door handle is a churro. So awesome. Bring your friends some churros. They will be happy. No need for sauces (my opinion). Bless

This place has, by far, the best churro I’ve had in NYC! The churros are made to order and served hot, which makes them amazing. The inside is wonderfully fluffy and soft. The price for the churro itself isn’t expensive, but the sauces are a bit pricey at $4 each. I tried the lemon cheesecake and their classic flavor, dulce de leche. I enjoyed both, but if you prefer a sweeter taste, go for the dulce de leche; if you’d like a mix of sweet and sour, the lemon cheesecake is the way to go.

El Churro sells extremely delicious churros that happen to be vegan and gluten-free. I waited a while to try El Churro and I have missed out. The vegan chocolate dipping sauce was heavenly - think hot chocolate flavored. Friendly service. LOVE.

It's a big bar with dancing space on the 15th floor. I was there to dance and see the rooftop, it was some free special that night. But that night it was raining so the rooftop was closed. I just saw vague skyline through the glass walls. Overall it was nice to dance, not crowded.

Mr. Purple was a lot of fun! The rooftop view of the city was immaculate, and they had a great selection of music as well. The drinks were solid, and I enjoyed the overall vibe of Mr. Purple as a whole. Would recommend!

The food was good! But I was not a fan of the drinks. The pornstar martini was more so a passionfruit mimosa, pure prosecco! It was so bubbly rather than smooth. Any good bar serves the prosecco on the side. Our waitress and all the staff were amazing though and the view is worth the $25 drinks. Great music as well. Just really bummed by the drink.

We were near by and we fancy churros. We satisfied our cravings. The churros were really good. The Latte was OK. Many options of beverages. Coffee and chocolate are the main options you will find.

A nice churro place to enjoy some coffee and dessert. The service was good, the churro was okay but the chocolate dip was meh!

Pretty good churros, but they come without cinnamon which is odd, and they're more sugary than I prefer. We got vegan chocolate sauce which was ok but not amazing. We thought the churros at jajaja were a lot better especially with the sauces. The oaxacan hot chocolate was ok but not very spicy. Plus one star for vegan options (the base churros are always vegan, most toppings are not). Loved the churro door handle.

El Churro I liked! Instead of getting the churros, that everyone mostly gets, I got the soft served pistachio with churro crumbs on top. It was really creamy, smooth, and delicious! The portion size was also huge which I liked. However, it can get messy and crumbly with all the crumbs on top. The servers/cashiers were very friendly and jovial. They were dancing and clapping around. They were very hipsterish for sure. There’s a modern ambience to the store with completely see through windows, where you can see clearly what’s going on outside, and where people can also see inside into the store. It kind of felt like being on display, like a window store front. I kind of didn’t like people being able to see through and see me eating. It wasn’t really crowded when I went, and it was mostly tourists visiting. The store is also right next to the train station. One suggestion I would have is for there to be more soft serve flavor options available, since the only flavor offered was pistachio. There should be more flavors available like how there were many flavors available for the churros. It would be absolutely amazing if they had like a salted caramel flavor for the soft serve, which would really compliment the churro crumbs on top. Price: $8.17💸 Rating: 8/10📝

Expensive churros but really good really good with their unique dips. I got 5 churros for $10, ube the top dip for $4 and a mango matcha for $7.50. Everything was good, just a bit expensive. The person at the register was a bit robotic but was polite. Would recommend you to at least try this place out at least once.

This was our second visit to this property, both times at sunset, this time as hotel guests. The view is breathtaking, making it an ideal spot for sunset cocktails. However, regarding the food and cocktails, both are of low quality and do not meet our expectations. We had the worst Aperol Spritz we have had. Bartenders had no clue. Additionally, the bartender was arguing with a client over a card and tried to involve me in the discussion, which was very rude and inappropriate. We had one drink, enjoyed the fantastic view, and left. Many rooftop options, avoid this one.

Only good thing about this place is the bathroom attendant Ibrahim. Came in knowing it’s a club and drinks would be more expensive, but the tequila soda I paid over $20 for was extraordinarily weak. Having learned my lesson about ordering liquor from the place, I went back for a second round and asked if they had White Claw. Bartender hands me a Surfside (a little more than $11 for the can), and then PROCEEDS TO SIGN FOR ME, TIP FOR ME, AND TAKE THE HANDHELD AWAY before I can even touch it. This was an extremely quick movement, like he is very well practiced at signing and tipping for customers while they’re putting their cards away the moment they tap. I tipped 20% on my first round. I don’t know what the average tip at this business is or if a noticeable number of customers don’t tip, but frankly, that’s not my problem. You CANNOT sign and tip on a bill on a customer’s behalf. That is outrageously disrespectful, and probably illegal. Maybe he felt overwhelmed by his ~7 customers at his nightclub bar, but that does not excuse this. Truly appalling. I wonder how much money he steals from unknowing customers per month with this kind of behavior. Dude needs to be fired

I came in to the location and it's centrally placed. Love the ambiance of the store with clean space and minimalist design. Asking the employees on the flavors it's like pulling teeth. Super rude. In addition when you don't leave a tip, they automatically get offended. If anything, the man making the churros deserve the tip than the useless CASHIER. I ordered 10 churros and 3 dippers and the clown of a cashier after I paid, just dumped all the churros on the counter with no big bag. Cashier was a white male with a nasty attitude. If you want a better paying job, maybe you should get out of a trending churros spot so we don't have to foot your salary. The other cashier came in and asked if I wanted a bag. After spending $40 for somd overpriced churros and a nasty attitude I would never return. Churros are expensive and the dark chocolate dipping sauce was light not think like the typical dark chocolate that you experience in Spain. Just overrated with bratty cashiers- I think his name is Phil because all of a sudden, his friends are commenting on how great Phil is. I'd definitely fire him and get someone who's not offended by not getting a tip and get an authentic person, who's excited to serve Churros and explaining the flavors.
