$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…

Amazing service and food
Tripadvisor Top complaints
4 of us met at Viand Cafe for breakfast, and the food was OK, but very expensive. Checking the bill, we noticed they tried to charge us twice for 2 of the 4 breakfasts we had. They seemed cagey when we pointed this out and eventually corrected the check. It appears they were trying to take advantage of tourists eating at the Cafe in the Beacon Hotel building.

Absolutely would not return this is false advertising. I came for breakfast. Terrible service with a very bad attitude. The food is low quality for the price, the coffee too expensive for flavor, quality and quantity. Be careful this is just a name. I didn't try the pastries after the breakfast experience, I didn't want to continue spending my money, there being so many places of excellent quality and very good service. The truth is that the waiters lack training in customer service and being more gentle. I don't recommend this place at all

$10 for a sandwich is a bit high, but this is NYC. The sandwich was tasty, but nothing to write home about. The best thing is that it was close to the hotel.

We visited for Sunday breakfast and experienced a short wait of about half an hour for a table. My wife absolutely loved the French toast, which was fluffy and flavorful. I opted for the breakfast sandwich, described as being served on a croissant, but I found it a bit lacking in texture. We also tried both sausage offerings as sides, which unfortunately did not meet our expectations and were rather disappointing. On a positive note, we had a wonderful waitress and left with a fantastic pretzel that we couldn’t resist. It warmed up nicely on the dashboard as we traveled to our next stop, making for a perfect treat on the go.

I love all pastries from Angelina bakery, so I ordered catering for my baby’s 1st birthday. The service is so detailed, from designing the cake, putting up orders for the party to delivery, I’m so happy how it turned out, my guests love them all!
