5 Star Rating Incredible vegan food! Open early to get hot savory food by the pound or a salad bar or order off the menu. Amazing taste, texture, and spice and a wide assortment of items and flavors available from the hot bar. Mushroom and soy based protein options. Bread pudding was also delicious and super moist. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back on a future trip.

5 Star Rating This was my first time dining here and I was impressed from start to finish. I spent 13 years in the restaurant industry so I can be a little critical of restaurants but this place only gets my praise. First thing I noticed was how remarkably clean everything was. Next was how helpful and patient the woman helping us was, she explained what each dish was and gave us recommendations on what was the most popular. The thing that I appreciated most was that this spot is the epitome of Harlem, so if you don’t appreciate the culture and vibe of the neighborhood do us all a favor and find a different spot. I wish them all the success and I can’t wait to go back and share it with my friends.

5 Star Rating I was very skeptical meeting here for lunch, because of the vegetarian menu. But I was happy to discover every dish I sampled to be delicious, even the faux jerked chicken I ordered, with mashed potatoes and plantain. I will definitely be coming back to eat at this place. Oh yeah, the pinapple-banana smoothie was fantastic.

5 Star Rating I visited this lovely cafe all the way from California. I've been following the cafe on IG. This Is some of the best Vegan Food I've ever had. I shared it with my father, he didn't believe it was vegan. I said Yes this is Vegan! He was amazed. The food was fresh, delicious and flavorful.

4 Star Rating My favorite spot to hit before boarding Metro North. Consistent vegan food and lots of options. Food is mostly very tasty and the crash juice bar is fab. Only Four stars because some of the dishes tend to be too oily, and they use almond milk instead of hemp or soy for a lot of dairy items, so it limits options for folks with nut allergies (like me).

2 Star Rating I first came across this restaurant’s food at an event I attended. A few of their dishes was a part of the catering. Their food was absolutely delicious I had the yams, fried whitening fish, and collard greens. Let me warn you if their collard greens were SPICY. I don’t do spices. Even many of the people who love spices also stated it was to spicy. I was in the area and decided to order for lunch. I visited the restaurant in October 2023. I placed my order online so it could be ready for pick up when I arrived. I was disappointed to learn the fried whiting fish is only available through their catering menu. I decided to order the stewed chicken, coconut peas and rice, steamed cabbage, yams, macaroni & cheese, cornbread, and lemonade. When I arrived to the restaurant, I noticed it’s not a sit-down restaurant. Seems like you pick up and go. I was greeted by staff told them I was picking up and they let me know my order was ready. I was so eager to dig into my food. I was expecting the Caribbean flavors and was let down and disappointed in my meal. I even shared with my coworker for her opinion. The best thing out of everything I ordered was the yams and lemonade. The chicken was bland and had no flavor. The peas and rice was okay. The cabbage wasn’t cooked and still too crunchy again no seasoning/flavor. The macaroni and cheese wasn’t good. The cornbread was okay, it has pineapple in it. I don’t think I’ll return and if I do it’ll only be for the yams and lemonade. This didn’t taste anything like Caribbean cuisine. The portion of the food was also really small. My total was about $36.00. This location is accessible via public transportation.

5 Star Rating Cannot believe I've lived in Harlem for almost four years now and I just went here for the first time. Got the oxtail stew with rice & peas, and collard greens. Phenomenal. Their homemade lemonades were delicious. We also ordered the mac & cheese and candied yams as sides. But the real showstopper was the pineapple cornbread. Best cornbread I've had in Harlem. It's so moist and packed with flavor. Carrot cake was a great dessert to finish with. 10/10 will be going back and ordering for delivery. I'm surprised they don't have a larger sit-down area. This food deserves the full dining experience!

5 Star Rating I don’t know if I’m more in love with the Lo-Mein or the prices, but they always sneak in a free cold soda in, which is always nice. Don’t let the lack of reviews fool you, whenever I walk by there’s always a couple people getting their order in. It’s a well kept secret. MaPo bean curd was a-okay. Lo-mein is straight goodness.

5 Star Rating Seafood at here is so incredible fresh. You order then the chef cooked in front of you. Mussel, crab legs, sea bass, scallops, jumbo shrimp, salmon… they have everything. And option to choose your favorite vegetables. Their grilled seafood is so delicious. Healthy option for steaming as well. Their homemade olive is a must try!! The chef is so nice and attentive. I recommend everyone!!

5 Star Rating I recently visited City Fresh Market and had the pleasure of trying their steamed salmon and shrimp with vegetables, and I have to say it was absolutely delicious! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the shrimp were juicy and flavorful. The vegetables were also fresh and cooked to perfection. I appreciated how healthy and satisfying the meal was, and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend trying the seafood dishes at City Fresh Market, it exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be coming back for more.!!!

4 Star Rating This pizza by the slice restaurant really hits the spot when you’re looking for affordable pizza that is solid. For $4.75, you can get 2 large slides of cheese pizza and a fountain drink. This is the perfect amount of food to keep you satisfied. The restaurant didn’t have much variety available when we went, at 9pm on a Friday night, but what they did have available was still fresh.

2 Star Rating Walked in to get an egg and cheese sandwich and waited for five literal minutes while the two guys behind the counter did whatever they were doing, but couldn't be bothered to take the order of the person in front of me in line. So I lost all hope and left. Hello? How about turning around and/or looking up from what you're doing? Because, you know... CUSTOMERS. Maybe these guys were the d-string crew, but that's my experience with this place, and I'm sticking to it.

3 Star Rating Just ordered and a bacon egg and cheese from here and it was mid. Like 5/10 mid. Just Doable. I ate it. But I’m not a overjoyed customer. I got in a hero. So that’s great. Never ordered hot food from here until today. Store has a good appearance , very clean, good selection - but the bacon egg and cheese is mid. And that is disappointing. I can’t find a good bacon egg and cheese in Harlem for nothing! Take me back to Brooklyn. 🙄
