My absolute favorite coffee spot in all of Manhattan
Jackie RSeptember 23, 2012
The Eggs Benedict are perfectly poached but be warned...they don't have any ketchup and have no plans to bring it back.
Ale RodriguezJune 15, 2016
Rose wine and order anything, its awesome
CharlottesNovember 2, 2015
Came here on promise of $20 bottles and found no liquor license and incompetent service. They struggled to understand my request for milk to go with French press coffee, and my food never arrived.

Ask the barista Ean what he does outside the cafe.

$6 for an entire French Press. $2.25 by the cup. Go here when it snows.

Even though I like this place a lot, their chicken panini is unfortunately too dry.

Because I saw a beauty in here yesterday, I decided to come in today.

Revel in sight as German, the mustachioed genius, makes you a piece of art in the form of a latte or any other espresso-based drink.

Bread here is sometimes difficult to cut, and could lead to accidents at the table.

Hate to admit this... Cafe Minerva is making better tasting and looking cappuccino than Grounded on Jane.

Decent Italian food although they ran out of wine glasses as it was busier than usual.

Talk to the baristas. Both Amber and Herman are really nice.

Love this place.
Janice BellDecember 28, 2013
AWFUL. Been coming here for years - no more. New chef apparently. Frozen artichokes that were supposed to be roasted. Broken glass on the table and floor.
Lizz SpanoFebruary 24, 2011
Nice for if you are looking for free wifi and a latte, but the food is a major rip off. The portions are miniscule, and way over priced. They also try to charge $2.50 for bread. Eat somewhere else.
Michelle HommeAugust 24, 2012
Had night cap and it was a waste for terrible wine/ prosecco and subpar tiramisu. Terrible kitchen ventilation withgreasy air. Perhaps we hit wrong time of day, saw coffee and wifi reviews.
Edvin BesicDecember 4, 2010
Excellent pasta, ask for Amber.
