So happy to find this breakfast spot during our stay in NYC. Super clean tasty food and coffee was amazing (being from Aus coffee is important so I really rate the coffee here). A cool atmosphere and the staff were so kind and friendly. The avocado on toast was drizzled with a touch of honey which worked super well & mushroom scramble is a must try. The space isn’t massive but has tables and high tables and we were always able to find a seat - also has some tables outside. We’ll definitely be back!!

Slate Cafe Nomad in New York has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city. I visited on two separate occasions and was blown away both times. On my first visit, I ordered the breakfast pizza and a chai, and it was absolutely delicious. The pizza was perfectly balanced with fresh ingredients and just the right amount of cheese—an ideal way to start the day. The chai was warm, comforting, and spiced just right. I couldn’t resist returning the next day, and this time I opted for the avocado toast with another chai. The avocado toast was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Paired with their consistently excellent chai, it made for a fantastic breakfast. The atmosphere at Slate Cafe Nomad is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax, enjoy a meal, and sip on some chai. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this café is a must-visit for a memorable breakfast experience. Highly recommended!

I recently spent some time at State Cafe and had a delightful experience. The sandwich I ordered was fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The coffee was also good, providing just the right pick-me-up. One of the highlights of State Cafe is its ambiance. It’s an ideal spot to work, with a relaxed atmosphere and comfortable seating. The open window offers a great view of the bustling streets, making it a perfect place to watch people go by while getting some work done. Overall, State Cafe NYC combines excellent food and coffee with a pleasant, productive environment.

Very cute place for breakfast/lunch. Space is limited, but we were able to snag a spot. Lots of vegan and non-vegan options, with both sweet and savory. Dijon chickpea salad sandwich was so so good. And the sweet toast? Obsessed! Def a must try if you’re in the area

Visiting NYC with the family, we had breakfast two times here in a week. Very good food, eggs in all possible varieties, fresh ingredients and reasonable price.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday. Waited about 5-10 minutes for a table to open up but altogether wasn’t that bad. Space is first come first serve after ordering. Ordered the flank steak sandwich, a pumpkin muffin, pesto chicken bowl, and some coffee. All the food was really tasty. The flank steak sandwich was nice and tender and juicy. The muffin was moist and had a nice faint sweetness from the pumpkin. The hot vanilla latte was great. The “Vietnamese” coffee was not a Vietnamese coffee at all, but was not bad as a regular iced coffee. I’ve learned that NYC truly does not have any “real” Vietnamese options, but you can’t blame me for wanting to try. Overall a solid spot for lunch. I wouldn’t stray too far from the classics, since a classic cafe can’t be expected to excel in anything but classic cafe food.

A nice little spot for a quick bite. I was here around 10am on a Saturday for brunch. It wasn't too busy, perhaps 75% capacity. Was able to order quickly and grab a counter spot. The food and latte were overall reasonable. They forgot I had ordered two extra eggs for the avocado toast so they had to bring them out separately about 5 minutes after the toast. The avocado toast was slightly on the small side -- to my mild surprise, but then I recalibrated my expectations because the price was relatively lower than toasts I've gotten at other Manhattan spots. The honey was a somewhat interesting twist, but I think slightly too much -- the sweet honey was a little too strong. Nevertheless I give a 4 ⭐ for all areas.

A casual cafe serving breakfast, sandwiches, light bites and brews, this was a great go-to find. Located in a busy, NoMad location serving tasty dishes, give it a try.

An average breakfast spot — good if you’re looking for something quick. The food was good, though the place is a bit small. The waitress asked us to leave after a while since we’d been at the table for too long. It wasn’t a bad experience, but it shows how popular and busy the place can get. I found the portions a bit small for the price, but overall the café is nice and nicely decorated.

Great food and very attentive service. I came in to work because an online round-up mentioned it was a good coffee shop to WFH from, but the atmosphere on a hot summer day was atrocious. The air conditioning doesn't seem to work, and I spent $14 on an egg scramble just to run away from the heat 25 minutes later to find some new place to park for the day. Something to keep in mind!

Alright, so we finally checked out that breakfast cafe after seeing all the hype. Let me tell you about the avocado toast, because that's what I ordered, and honestly? It was nothing special. I've had my fair share of avocado toasts, and this one just didn't have any unique flavor that made it stand out. It was literally one big piece of toast cut into three. They just sprinkle chili flakes on top. We asked if they could just put it on one of the slices, and they said they couldn't do any custom requests. Seriously? For chili flakes on one piece? Hmmm. So yeah, if you're thinking about the avocado toast, I'd say skip it. Now, my wife got the chai latte, and she actually said it was really good, so at least there's that. As for the place itself, I have to admit it had a nice charm, and the decorations were well done. But it's a pretty small spot, and it was LOUD. If you're hoping to get some work done or have a quiet conversation, this probably isn't the place. Overall, it's a cute cafe, but based on my avocado toast experience, I wouldn't rush back for it.

Decent spot for breakfast with a good, regular selection. Tried the avocado toast with scrambled eggs and a cappuccino. The food was fresh and tasted good, but the coffee was just average. The interior is comfortable, though it can get quite crowded in the early morning, and there aren't many outdoor seating options. An okay experience overall.
