They have gluten free bread which can’t be toasted due to cross-contamination. Frustrating as someone with celiac disease, but fine. But beyond that, my sandwich came out with pieces of egg shell on it… the server saw it, and was like “oh it’s just egg shell it’s fine” and went on his way. Yikes. Would not recommend.

We loved our morning breakfast here, including an almond milk latte, espresso, coffee and orange juice. They even have gluten free bread which was the most unusual I've ever seen but quite tasty. I'm pretty sure it was the healthiest meal we had during our short stay in NYC.

Stayed at Luma Times Sq, but breakfasts at $25 a pop meant we ate at the bustling City Cafe 4 days running. Great fresh food, plenty of it, nice friendly staff and between $25-32 per day for four of us it was a no-brainer. A turkey bacon and hash brown roll was 4.99, and a great way to start the day. They’ll put any combination of what they have together too. My coeliac sister loved the omelettes, home fries and bacon too. Highly recommended!

Ordered the ham and cheese baguette with the gluten free alternative. Wasn’t expecting a baguette but the sandwich was horrible and sloppily put together, especially for $17. Really disappointed.
