Derek DeVeauxAugust 7, 2011Phenomenal frozen hot chocolate... But for God's sake, share it!!! Delicious but huge!!... That's what she said.
Todd HermanMay 8, 2011The broadway chocolate dessert is outstanding! Don't bother with the entrees...greasy and overcooked. Desserts are outstanding!
Brittany HamptonJuly 25, 2011the young chicken was a little dry but VERY good... share with a friend though, the picture was taken after I'd already eaten half!
Chris DionFebruary 19, 2012They hype should be about the chicken wings...delicious and the blu cheese...yum!
Madhumanti SarkarOctober 26, 2013I think the place is totally hyped, to be honest, their deserts are nothing great or to die for. Their frozen hot chocolate is horrible. Starbucks mocha cookie crumble is million times better.
ValeriaApril 9, 2014Food here is not that great. Stick to the burgers & sandwiches if you must eat here. But the desserts are delicious!
Marcelo FloresJuly 23, 2011If you're gonna take on a dessert on your own, try the banana split: cowards portion. It's still ridiculously huge.
TariqueMarch 3, 2012Have a frozen hot chocolate. Mention Tarique when you order and it'll be on the house!- Gela ZurbitoNovember 28, 2011Get the Bleu Burger with (of course) the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate! Major Yummmm!!
Rose PerezJuly 13, 2019I got the humble pie. Taste like they literally took peanut butter mixed in a bit of cream on a graham cracker crust.I expect to get to taste better. strawberry Sunday average at best! over priced not
Ari SchulerDecember 14, 2014Be aware. They will refuse to serve or seat you as far as 15 minutes before closing time on the weekend. Closing hours were also 1 am not 2 am on weekends as foursquare says.
Sara PDecember 7, 2010Host was a total ass. Take a pic of the front door & say you've been. If you venture inside, you might get more attitude than you bargained for!
Veronika SFebruary 22, 2015Didn't like the place. Overall all staff including manager and waitress was trying to kick us off in 20-30 minutes when I sat down the table. Such a shame. Don't go, you wouldn't like the experience.
Ayeshah Alam KhanJuly 4, 2013Make sure u call ahead to make a reservation. Or u may not get a table. We didn't ... So we didn't !
nuraningrumFebruary 25, 2011frozen hot chocolate for drink and chesse cake for eat are double greaat! share with your mate or fr
Aysem Ertopuz-DeoblerDecember 27, 2012it's no Christmas in NYC without a visit to Serendipity cafe. Superb hot chocolate....
Lívia FontanaMay 13, 2013Meeeh... Don't believe the hype. The place is great and I'm sure they do have some good desserts, but I expected waaay more from the "Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate". Is just an ok Milkshake. Disappointed...
Meir SadanJune 24, 2013Summer Bries "samdwich" was okay, Frrrozen Hot Chocolate is an overglorified instant chocolate drink.
Michelle BuiceNovember 17, 2016Back in the 90's as a teen, this was my first " Manhattan" restaurant date.
Josh WrightJanuary 8, 2015Very nice place and friendly staff, however to food is nothing special. The sundae made me feel sick.. More like a desert.

Claire TumolacJuly 8, 2013After telling us there's a 1.5-hr wait we were able to get in after 15 mts so make sure you check back often. Lots of empty seats inside. Food was mediocre. Frozen hot chocolate was tdf!
Luiz BrandaoNovember 15, 2012Try the Forbidden Broadway Sundae - 3 weeks of spinning twice a day to recover from it
Justin RyanOctober 7, 2012SERIOUSLY, don't bring your children. You're going to have a wait time, there's no kid's menu, and absolutely no room for babysitting inside.
Dessy RabuseJuly 26, 2010what's not to love? Adorable, quirky, fun little place. Yes and the frozen hot chocolate is amazing!
Matt MitchellNovember 18, 2009Rightfully known for their Frozen Hot Chocolate, but the chili I had there was also excellent. the FHC is huge though so you may not have room for both. Read more
