Haymarket Cafe

I have very mixed feelings about Haymarket. It's a nice, quaint little cafe with a lot of personality. Feels very Noho. One of my favorite places in the area and one of my least favorite. Sometimes, I've gone here and everything is perfect. Like when it's good, it's really good. Their food can be some of the best in the area. Other times, i've gone in to staff who don't seem to know anything about the cafe, waiting for food for way to long, hearing a fire alarm and getting burnt mac and cheese. downstairs dining area is kind of a mess. Stay upstairs, better vibe unless you want something quieter. Give the place a try, your results may vary. Give it a few tries honestly, it's just really inconsistent. They do gluten free pasta, call ahead to see if they have it and save yourself some time. Although I have called ahead, been told they do and when i get in, they're out of it. Have requested food be prepared for someone's gluten allergy and the kitchen still contaminated the food with gluten and person I had ordered for got sick.

I'm not vegan, gluten sensitive or any other dietary restrictions or issue, but I go here because the desserts and pastries are great. I enjoy their unsweetened chai.
