$9 for a iced dirty chai with oat milk that tasted sooo awful. Thankful they remade the drink, but anyone into chai’s should not get this one…

Atmosphere: cool but whatever like I just want a coffee. Staff & experience: I was ready to order and nobody was at register. I should’ve left. Someone eventually came in, guess he was cleaning because he had a mop, he then takes my order and makes my iced latte without washing his hands and no gloves. He hands me the drink with his hands all over the top of the cup and puts a lid face down on the table. Such bad hygiene. I sit down with my very dark iced latte that looks like an iced coffee (it was so bitter). And there’s now a smell traveling I guess bc the mop water was leaking all over the store when he came in. It smells rancid. Like a dumpster or something rotting. I just left. Terrible. Needs more staff and well experienced baristas. And some hygiene trainings.

Bravo. Finally a real cappuccino. Why is it soooooo hard to find a real cappuccino in NYC. Most of the once we had is a caffe Latte. Expresso coffee with a lot of hot milk and a bit of foam on top. Integral got it right. Love it. Only one negative experience. There sidewalk was very dirty and full of broken 😞 glass. Hugs 🤗

"Absolutely loved my experience here! The coffee was amazing, and the atmosphere was so welcoming and calm. I had a delicious vanilla latte that hit the spot. Plus, the place was super clean and tidy. I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m nearby!"

1.28.23 - randomly stopped in to grab a cup of joe and also picked up a chai latte, which was very good. The space is very clean and open with a few tables. They also serve ice cream along with a wide assortment of coffees and teas. Generally very good if you're in the neighborhood.

A beautiful, light-filled space that's clean and inviting. Good hot drinks and pastries and a great macaron.

A real disappointment. We went because the children really cared about it, but the place was dirty, so many desserts had been prepared for who knows how many days. Many colors in desserts but only sugar. My impression was very negative. Not recommended!
Tripadvisor Top complaints
Always busy ; more seating needed. Tables not clean. Chicken Salad Croissant and an Italian Hero Baguette along with a Vitamin Water and Snapple Beverage were consumed. The breads were not fresh; no time to comment to staff as we had a train to catch. This visit was disappointing.

Another place I really wanted to like, but didn’t. It’s a knish bakery, so why do you microwave the knishes? Cold in the center, too hot outside, just like you expect from a microwave. The place itself is sloppy and seems dirty. Also, I had the worst egg cream ever made. How is that possible?
Tripadvisor Top praises
We are regulars at Le Moulin café on York Avenue, and enjoyed an excellent lunch yesterday – a Croque Monsieur for my wife and an excellent split pea soup for me. The croissants were two of the very best either of us have ever had, and she an ex-pat from Paris. Pretty decorations for Easter; prompt and very friendly service; and very good cleanliness. Because of the French school nearby, you can hear lots of French being spoken by all age groups.

A very clean cut bakery with helpful friendly staff,we had the macadamia and chocolate cookies with drip coffee,served instantly despite it being busy and what a well worth the journey treat,chocolate ooozed from the still warm cookie whilst the macadamia one was full of flavour as well and the drip coffee was a welcoming drink.
Tripadvisor Top praises
Always wanted to try this bakery/cafe but never had the opportunity. Fortunately on this occasion we had the time and the place wasn't crowded, which was a bit usual. My wife had the lemon gelato and I had a chocolate covered cannoli. Both items were absolutely delicious. I am a cannoli fan and this is one of the best cannolis I have ever eaten. The dessert items were definitely worth the price and it its crowded, would definitely be worth the wait. My wife is a huge fan of gelatos and raved about how good this gelato was. We enjoyed our desserts on the benches in front of the bakery/next to the giant ice cream cone. Note, the interior of bakery/cafe is spotlessly clean, quaint/beautiful and the service is exceptional. Thank you Ferrara for providing a memorable Littel Italy experience.

Representative review quotes

Google Maps Complaint quote
This place has really gone downhill this year. The staff is no longer attentive, gives attitude, and is overall unwelcoming. The coffee and service was the only reason I came as the food is inedible. Nearly $20 a plate for only prepackaged foods and frozen eggs. You can see into the “kitchen” and watch as an employee heats up frozen eggs in a toaster oven? Restrooms are never clean. Unless you’re a regular, expect to feel unwelcome and wait an eternity for bad coffee.

Use to live not so far from here. Great NYC village vibe. A calm, clean and quiet place with baristas who’ll make you smile.

Magnolia at 200 Columbus Ave used to be lovely. It has been sold to a franchise owner. The staff is unfriendly, rude and slow. It is no longer festive- no holidays are really recognized. Cupcakes are dry. It is dirty. There was an entire cup of milk spilled on floor for 20 minutes! It is so sad to this once wonderful bakery turn from a 10 to a 1. Do not go to this Magnolia
