β€œSuch a lovely cafe! Cozy space, great coffee, and a calm vibe that makes it perfect for reading or getting some work done. Bacon and egg sandwich is my favorite!!”

β€œGreat place to grab a bite after getting some theater tickets from TKTS (they share the same lobby area). Had a tasty combo with the buttermilk chicken sw and a spinach salad and later went back for bread pudding dessert. Everything tasted great. Attentive service and nice atrium atmosphere. Good value, as well; they even give you a free cup or water (without buying bottled water).”

β€œThe Independent Cafe is such a great spot for lunch around Lincoln Center! The service is quick and everyone who works there is so kind and friendly. The drinks are great and I always enjoy the avocado sandwich! Often, when I stop by in the afternoon for tea, there is a soundcheck happening which is always such a nice surprise in the afternoon.”
