Cafe Select

GO HERE !!! I’ve recently become obsessed with cheese and this place has become my go to spot for fondue and raclette ! The ambiance is very welcoming and charming; reminds me of being in the mountains. Great cocktails as well, def get the espresso martini and dirty (it comes with cute Swiss flag). Service was also very good. Overall this place is super chill and laid back.

In this area, there are many cafes targeted at tourists, but the service and the taste of the food often don't quite live up to expectations. Initially, we had similar thoughts as we decided to step into this café for a beer and maybe some chips. The staff inside warmly showed us to our seats and took our orders with big smiles. While I wished the beer had been a bit colder, the Lobster Bacon Sandwich we ordered was incredibly delicious, pleasantly simple, meticulously prepared, and even had a cute Swiss flag decoration. The lobster was fresh, and its pairing with avocado was spot on. Eating the sandwich, it became evident that this café puts a lot of care into their food, making us confident that choosing this place was the right decision. Later, we ordered warm Apple Strudel, Prosecco, and Hot Coffee. At $3 for drip coffee in this area, it's very reasonable! The taste was delightful and rich. The warm apple strudel was made with great attention, not overly sweet, with a crispy crust and a melt-in-your-mouth filling—arguably the best apple pie in New York! I'll definitely come back here, aiming to try the Lobster Bisque that everyone praises. Until next time!

Food was great. We had the Catalan Shrimp as an appetizer. My entire party had the risotto, except me. I had the chicken schnitzel. They devoured their plates and raved about how great it was. The chicken schnitzel was cooked to perfection, the green salad had a wonderfully paired tangy salad dressing and I really loved the potato salad. I also had an selective spritz that was nice and refreshing. The ambience and decor is nice. The service was slow, but it's fair to say it was a busy Thursday night. We also made reservations ahead of time.

It’s a nice café in SOHO! Great food, ambiance, and service! Burrata salad is so yummy and refreshing. Eggs Benedict is the smoked salmon was so delicious. Lobster bacon club is the sandwich itself was so good- the avocado, bacon, and lobster all blended super well. But tbh, the spinach quiche was kinda dry and not super flavorful.
