REX is my go-to spot for coffee, breakfast, and pastries. Hands down one of the best espresso bars in NYC. I come here almost every day, and it never disappoints. The coffee is consistently excellent, the pastries are fresh and delicious, and the breakfast/lunch options are simple but satisfying. But what really sets it apart, is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. They somehow manage to make a busy NYC coffee shop feel like a cozy neighborhood hangout. Whether I’m grabbing a quick espresso on the go or chilling with my husband or friends and a croissant, I always leave happier than I came in. Highly recommend if you're in the area or even if you're not. It's worth the detour.

Pleasant experience at this busy little spot. They have a great selection breakfast and lunch items all super fresh. We loved the chicken panini (with chipotle mayo 7 grain toast and side of greens) and the lentil soup. Not a lot of seating but people are coming in and out, it wasn’t tough to find a seat to read a book for a couple hours. I’ll be back to try more

I'm here practically every day! Great food, great coffee, great people. I've always found a place to sit. Couldn’t love it here more. 100 stars

If you want a really fun and tasty local spot for breakfast, check out Rex. The breakfast burritos are on point and I took the advice of another reviewer and added potatoes to mine (an excellent choice). Coffee is good and fresh, and the food is made to order. I love little hole in the wall places like Rex, and hope they stick around for a long time.

This small coffee and sandwich place sells one of the best bacon, eggs and cheese sandwiches. All the food is great, the service is excellent and the place has enough space to sit and enjoy your food. 10/10

WOW SO GOOD!!! You MUST eat here and have a coffee too. It was the best egg sandwich I’ve ever had and the almond milk latte was delicious as well. Will come back again!

Rex Layout/atmosphere *Two tables Food/drink *Dirty Chai Latte - solid; taste profile leaned more to the tea category than coffee *Breakfast Cuban (pulled pork, ham, Swiss, Chipotle mayo, pickles & two fried eggs) - solid; toasted bread; smaller portion *Ube Loaf - Good

The create your own egg sandwich is amazing! I love how there are additional options available here that typically aren’t available at your local corner store’s deli. Honestly, would’ve preferred more salt and pepper for my personal liking, but the ingredients came together perfectly. I really like how the egg is cooked (as opposed to the typical NYC egg sandwich), it allowed me to taste chunks of the yellow part of the egg by itself which i enjoyed. The turkey bacon itself is say was pretty bland but I ordered it in a cinnamon raisin bagel and added tomatoes, onions and spinach. Excellent egg sandwich, I’d return. A bit expensive at just under 15 dollars, the most expensive egg sandwich I ever had. Maybe I’d get it on a brioche next time.

I actually quite like the place. Good coffee and breakfast sandwich. Very friendly staff. There are simply too many dogs inside this small coffee shop. Almost the same number of dogs vs humans. I’m fine with people eating outside with their dogs but doing the same inside has food safety consequences. Unfortunately the staffs here aren’t doing anything about it.

I found it pretty overpriced, especially the food. My burrito was a quarter of the size of the other sandwiches they were building, and I had about 3 slices of lettuce for my "$1.50" extra payment for lettuce. Very very very lame.
