Reviews for Lena Greenwich Village in New York, NY
Yummmmm our favorite little gem in the neighborhood for fresh pastry and good coffee.
I’m a fan!!! Great coffee (oat milk steamed correctly and coffee wasn’t burnt), delicious pastry, and mouthwatering... sandwiches. On top of that, service was top notch:) I only wish I would’ve found this place sooner. Read more
Not sure about the lunch and dinner, but the breakfast was HORRIBLE for the price - $9.50 for a stale over sugary croissant and... such a bland cappuccino. Not impressed. Would pay $4 total. Read more
Stumbled upon this place in the evening and had a couple glasses of delicious red wine. They are friendly and knowledgeable... about wine and it’s a very small cozy place which I heard can get pretty crowded. Good for a date or intimate drink. Wouldlove to try it in the morning too sometime for coffee/pastries. Read more
Cute little French coffee shop with a few seats, breakfast sandwiches, and friendly service. Beats the Le Pain Quotidien next... door. Read more
Soft eggs in a nice baguette and a solid croissant in a relatively tight space. It's a great to-go place for pastries & coffee.
Pierre is a fantastic host. I came here on my first day in NYC and came in just as the shop opened. While I sat and had what has... undeniably been the best coffee and breakfast I've had in NYC and any bakery anywhere, I also watched as various people in theneighborhood came in and out. Pierre greeted them all by name and each of them always had time for a conversation with each ofthem. It's a friendly, neighborly, place. I do recommend. Read more
I live around the corner from this place and it has amazing coffee especially the matcha latte. Literally maybe the best I've... ever had. However, the reason I'm giving it 1 star is the absolutely mute service. I have been here now upwards of 5 times andeach time I expect it to get better but it hasn't. This place is owned by a celebrity and apparently must be staffed by groupiesor people who think they are extremely important. I say this because each time I have gone to Lena and ordered and paid I havegotten, quite literally, 0 words spoken to me. I think a couple times I actually got an "ok" after I ordered. I usually greetthe person (usually a man) behind the counter and say thank you, etc. and I get just stoneface silence. I even said thank youtwice one time because I felt uncomfortable and still he just stared at me. As an observer, it would be comical. As a customer,it's pretty rude. I realized that this is due to some ~status~ thing because one of the times I was in there the usually mutestaff were extremely talkative with some film director and name-dropping all over the place. The drinks are good but honestly,skip this place. You'd get better service at Pain Quotidien next door. Read more
