Reviews for Perista Cafe in New York, NY
I am super disappointed because I got a Inwood açai bowl and this bowl has no flavor to it. It was frozen! Absolutely a brick... when I tried to put my spoon in it. The only thing fresh on this bowl was the fresh fruit so the banana the coconut shavingsstrawberry and the blueberry however everything underneath it was absolutely frozen. Literally no taste even when itdefrosted. When it defrosted it was absolutely gross. Didn?t even finished it. I never wanted to get my money back so bad -waste of $10 The only reason why I?m giving two stars instead of one is because the woman at the front was very very sweet andI don?t think it?s their intention to have a flavorless açai bowl.

Fast becoming my favorite neighborhood joint to come to. This place didn't have promising beginnings (I recall when it was still... being built for what seemed like eons) but has flourished into a pleasant place. I like the fact that people congregate here,sitting and chatting, eating big plates of food with no rush to leave - always a good sign. The owner is Greek and sometimesthere is a tasty spinach pie special (with lemon potatoes!). The menu is inviting, with some unique options. I'm very pickywith that which can be yet another cookie cutter deli/cafe, but I believe this place is a bit different and carries a verypleasant vibe. (Reason for 4 stars is that I have not yet tried most items on the menu to be able to judge.) Read more
You can get a better bacon egg and cheese on a croissant at Dunkin for cheaper. 7 dollars and change for a small sandwich and it... honestly was so bad and I still have a weird after taste in my mouth. The staff was nice that was the only pro. Read more

I eat here/order two or three times a week. Always delicious, always delivered on time and such lovely people Perista. It is my... favorite restaurant in the neighborhood. I mean it! And remember, please, times are hard. Please, think before leaving a badreview for ANY business. You?re playing with people?s livelihood. Read more
3.5 stars, but i?ll round up. Drinks were not good, the smoothie tasted like thick milk with practically no flavor and the... coffee was watery. The smoked salmon toast was very nice. The omelettes tasted good but were a little too salty. Service wasgood, the lady at the counter was helpful and efficient. I didnt try the pastries or cakes but they looked good. For a regularspot to grab food this is not a bad option. Read more
This place is really hit or miss. I order delivery every other weekend and they usually forget something in the order or I feel... like I?m being ripped off. It?s honestly my fault for ordering things I could cheaply make myself. This week I order an avocadotoast with bacon egg and added tomato which came to $9. I also ordered an almond cappuccino. The cappuccino tastes completelydifferent from before, like it was made from a machine, and the avocado toast was embarrassing. I expect fresh avocado for thatprice point and since they only offer a ?spread?, I was expecting a HEAPING portion. They also forgot the tomato...this placejust newly reopened and it?s not making an impression on someone who frequently orders out. I guess I just need to learn mylesson and make my own food. Try at your own risk. Read more
Needed lunch delivery in a hurry yesterday, and, even though they said the wait time was about 30 mins (which is reasonable at... lunchtime), once I told them I was in a bind, they had our food delivered in less than half the time (even with specialrequests)! As usual, food was fresh and delicious - we will continue to order from this GREAT spot! Thanks so much from 2 veryhungry and appreciative teachers!!! Read more
