Inge Van HeckeApril 14, 2013Great for an early breakfast in the West-Village or for a coffee while reading the newspaper.
Bread here is sometimes difficult to cut, and could lead to accidents at the table.
Berk KapiciogluAugust 17, 2014Even though I like this place a lot, their chicken panini is unfortunately too dry.
Revel in sight as German, the mustachioed genius, makes you a piece of art in the form of a latte or any other espresso-based drink.
They have a list of 20 bottles of wine for $20 each.
Irena MacriSeptember 8, 2013Decent Italian food although they ran out of wine glasses as it was busier than usual.
Hate to admit this... Cafe Minerva is making better tasting and looking cappuccino than Grounded on Jane.
Michelle HommeAugust 24, 2012Had night cap and it was a waste for terrible wine/ prosecco and subpar tiramisu. Terrible kitchen ventilation withgreasy air. Perhaps we hit wrong time of day, saw coffee and wifi reviews.
Janice BellDecember 28, 2013AWFUL. Been coming here for years - no more. New chef apparently. Frozen artichokes that were supposed to be roasted. Broken glass on the table and floor.
Lizz SpanoFebruary 24, 2011Nice for if you are looking for free wifi and a latte, but the food is a major rip off. The portions are miniscule, and way over priced. They also try to charge $2.50 for bread. Eat somewhere else.
- Talk to the baristas. Both Amber and Herman are really nice.
Himali WNovember 15, 2015Avoid unless you want to be completely ignore and sit without coffee or food.
Monica Juniel ByersMay 27, 2011This place scores an 11 out of 10 on the cuteness scale. Good service, too.

"Get the cast iron focaccia, the onion torte, the rigatoni, and the bombolino. All stellar."

"The lunchtime and brunch burger is the best in the neighborhood. Beautiful, friendly staff. Trust me on that burger though."
Brenton Land - 8.9
"The cavatelli special was delicious and so was the kale Caesar to start! Their pasta is homemade and it makes all the difference! Next time I go I will have to get the rigatoni."

"Super cute and cozy, perfect for date night. My tagliatelle was very rich and a bit too buttery but my partner really enjoyed his burger. The roasted baby lettuce was delicious. Enjoy!"
Charlottes - 8.3
"This is probably one of my favorite burger spots in the city. I recomend the bistro burger w/ side of fries and McSorleys beer. Cheap burgers and beers, you cant beat it."

"Probably the coolest small park in the world. Great vibe, good street musicians, simply lovely when the weather is nice."
