Fav Cafès in NYC ?

I don’t have much experience with cafes, but I do love going to Semi colon. Their sandwiches are so fluffy , filling and refreshing 🥹.

This was their chicken sandwich which included :

Scrambled Eggs with Grilled Corn

Green Leaf Lettuce

Spicy Chicken

Red Onions

Jalapeños

Mozzarella Cheese

Spicy Sauce

Toasted Brioche Bread

Rate: 7/10 —> I like the SOS sandwich better

Boba : 10/10 -> just the perfect amount of sweet and nice boba texture 🥰

What nyc cafes do you like ?
