Jennifer's Cafe in New York

"Hidden gem, side of the road stand with great street food, and delicious, dark roast drip coffee. Jose, the owner, creates top notch bites including empanadas, papa rellenas, sándwiches, and other Latin American street food. Perfect to bring to the park, or for a casual seat at the stool. Drip coffee: best dark roast I’ve tried in the EV area. Smooth, highly drinkable, and deep. They use Cafe Bustelo beans, and they brew it perfectly. Not all cafes can get that brewing preparation right. The vibes are very local and very authentic. PS: there’s a friendly bird who may say hi as you hang out! Drip coffee score: 4.5/5. Everything else score: 4.75/5. Overall score: 4.6/5."

"WOWWWW!!! I walk by this place all the time and had never thought to stop and get some food. This place is SOOOO good omg. I got the beef and cheese and chicken and cheese empanadas, steak breakfast burrito, and salami egg and cheese on a roll. All so good! I definitely recommend the chicken and cheese empanada and steak burrito. The food quality and prices are amazing!!!"

"My breakfast spot! So affordable and fresh. Great to hang out for a quick bit on a spring day while running errands or strolling Tompkins. the chef is kind! Tip him!!!"

"Jennifer's Cafe is a hidden jem! Jose, the owner, makes the visit worth it by himself, making you instantly feel welcome. The Cafe is a small booth on 4th street, with 4 bar stools looking into the small kitchen. The intimate space allows you to enjoy your coffee while having a conversation with Jose. For the price ($2 for a small coffee, $7 for a coffee + 2 empanadas), it is an absolute steal. The homemade cheese empanadas are some of the best I've ever had, as is the homemade salsa verde. Although I've only tried the empanadas, the menu is vast with options for sandwiches, burritos, tacos, and more. Overall, I can’t think of any reason why you shouldn't stop by Jennifer's cafe. Add it to your list!"

"God tier spot crammed into a teeny lil place - Cheapest bfast in east village, amazing burrito (excited to try tacos+torta), just had $6.00 bacon egg cheese + coffee combo so so good … spicy green sauce is fantastic. The steak sandwich is amazing. Only outdoor seating but who cares, it’s cheap and that’s why"

"Slight issue w the freshness of the chicken on the chicken sandwich, but I’ll be back. The construction of the sandwich—ingredient ratios—was on point. With fresher chicken, I KNOW the sandwich would have been even better. I like the people there, too. They did a good job trying to make me happy."

"Don’t let this place fool you from its appearance because the breakfast is amazing. I love their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a roll with ketchup added. It’s crispy, fresh, and delicious. They have different lunch specials every day so be sure to check it out."
