Reviews for Russ & Daughters Cafe in New York, NY
There is no option to give SIX stars so the best I can do it tell you this is the last great place to get a proper bagel... breakfast in NYC. It opens at 8:30 and there will already be a line. You shouldn’t have a problem if you come early but by9:15 it’s jumping. Feel free to be a traditionalist or dive deep into the herring either way you won’t bedisappointed. Non-dairy fans will be pleased to know they offer Coconut Cream Cheese as well. They have goat cream cheese butapparently that has regular CC in it as well. Coffee flows like water even if the coffee cups are literally CUPS (8oz). Thejuice is fresh. The staff are real pros and it’s all from one of the most storied NYC families in Sturgeon. A must must must. Read more
Went to this iconic cafe for brunch. After a wait of about 45 minutes we were seated and promptly served. Sandwiches were... delicious but the drinks were a bit pricey. Overall, this was a nice experience. Read more
Unquestionably my favorite restaurant for brunch style food. The best eggs Benedict I've ever had. Pickled herring is excellent.... The service is great. I'm not from NYC, but I visit periodically. This is always a priority stop when I visit. Read more
This is a busy cafe. If you get there at a busy time you have to wait. The food is very good quality and tasty. The cold brew is... very good also. Highly recommend it. Read more
WOW. so worth it. the bagel was really something special. we ordered online and picked up our bagels and then ate them on the... street because there wasn’t anywhere to sit which was kind of a bummer. ordering online is pretty slick, however. Read more
My sister said this place had one of the best bagels and during our weekend trip we didn't get a chance to visit until we were... about to leave NYC. We checked out of our hotel with our luggage and walked 5 minutes to the subway, sat on the subway for 30minutes and walked another 15, let's just say we were committed to trying this bagel place! We arrive in an area of litter andbroken down bicycles and find that the business isn't letting people inside. When I walked in he suggested I step outside andscan a small QR code and order online, and can bring it out. After the trouble, we order a $15 and a $20 bagel. It's brought outafter a few minutes and we fortunately are able to walk to a nearby coffee shop, order coffee and sit with our newfound bageltreasures. The first bite is hard to break off, tough and chewy almost, like leather. As my teeth become acclimated to thismysterious bread texture, my hunger takes over and I complete my mission. Was the bagel good? I think so. I would have liked anopen dining room or an explanation of why it wasn't available. I would have liked to have placed an order with a person and nota phone. Was it worth the extra trip? absolutely not. Read more
