The philly style hotdog is a pretty decent size. Taste wise, not much flavor. It's okay. I wanted a cuban sandwich and grabbed the chicken one by accident instead. Shredded chicken meat, lettuce, and tomato. It's better tasting than the hotdog. It's alright. There is plenty of seating, and the air conditioning is cool. Clean bathrooms to use.

Cafe on Roosevelt Island. Cool to stop by for snacks or hang out with friends. It’s big seating area inside and outside with beautiful view. There’s big options of fresh hot food, salads, pastries, snacks and coffee.

Very nice cafe ..there are also salads and sandwiches, worth stopping there for a break from a trip to the island. The cafe is located inside the Cornell campus.

You should stop here to freshen up and recharge during your visit to the island. The prices are reasonable and the menu includes sweets, light snacks and whole meals. You can sit inside the elegantly designed lunch hall but the true beauty is enjoying the magnificent outer shared outdoor space. Even architecture novices would appreciate the combination of modern buildings, city views and greenery.

Great service and standard selection of sandwiches, soups, salad, and entres. Also includes a side cafe with coffee and pastries. Food was kind of pricey, but they had Cornell Dairy ice cream and Ithaca Beer co, so that's a plus! The space and views were great!

The location is excellent and the space is very comfortable. The food is okay and hit or miss with frequent menu and supplier changes. The coffee is good. The prices have recently increased, probably due to the economy. The staff is often very brisk and could be friendlier.

wow what the hell happened to this cafe?? i used to come here for years and they had great pastries and good coffee. i got a “croissant” today and it is absolutely horrendous and the price is $5 when it was $3 before.

Running list of how ridiculous the pricing here is: $15 for a single scoop of paella and 1 carrot and 3 bites of Caesar salad. $15 for five pieces of tofu (paneer) and a half scoop of chickpeas… $15 for six pieces of beef, three pieces of potato, three carrots, half scoop of mushrooms, I’m not even full. $15 for three tacos. If you’re gonna charge $15, at least increase serving sizes. Priced like boutique restaurant food but tastes worse than Chipotle and Dig. Has a monopoly on the southern side of Roosevelt Island, and it is certainly exploiting that monopoly (and Cornell Tech students).

In Google says It is closed at 5 pm. At 4,30 pm they decided not to serve more coffee. When I informed about the schedule in Google, a very impolite guy (in the picture) has answered very rude: “if you have any problem talk to my manager.”. I have answered him that is not the way to answer a customer but he didn’t care at all. With this service better find other place. After leaving, this “person” has closed the Cafe about 20 minutes earlier. It seems difficult to find good staff.

Updated review May 21, 2023: it is no longer worth it to come here. Very bad food at expensive prices. A main dish made of thawed Costco food shouldn’t cost $15. So many other places to buy food in the island for a lesser price at a higher quality. There was a change in the people too, and the new people are not nice. Review from 2022: Updated review to one star. You should not be blocking ADA entrance with stuff. See photo. Old review from 2019: Truly amazing people. People that work here are very nice. The only problem with the cafe is the amount of unattended children screaming and running like if they were in a playground, while the real housewives of RI enjoy their lunch.
