This cafe recently changed its name, but has been open for 4 years. You've seen the pictures and it's true - everything is $2!
There is an identical Espresso Matto further on 46th. They offer the same options :)
I was a little hesitant because this cafe costs about half what others in Midtown East will offer. That being said, they do offer a lot. They have espresso machines, frozen hot chocolate, 3 types of iced tea, 4 organic juices, 1 smoothie, hot and iced coffee, and cold brew.
In the snack department, they offer nuts, oatmeal, Belgian waffles, burekas, croissants, coffee cake and sweets. There are also a variety of small deli sandwiches.
I ordered a frozen hot chocolate with chocolate croissant. Total was $4.36 and I paid with my credit card. There is plenty of nice seating in the A/C. They even warmed up my croissant for me!
They use Bristot coffee, and offer small and large for their hot drinks. Both are still only $2. The person in line ahead ordered a delicious iced latte (single) - only $2. On my way out, I ordered an iced tea - I couldn't help myself.
The two ladies at the counter were sweet and helpful - had no issue with me taking pictures :) ps: all their dairy products have been approved kosher. They have a refrigerated section with Pelligrino etc -also $2.
Will return, for sure!
