Stephen BarrosFebruary 22, 2011Most of the desserts are HUGE! Sharing with a friend or date will still leave you satisfied.
Alisa BleskeMay 23, 2013Sometimes you just get lucky! We got right in- no wait. Was a Wednesday at 9pm.
Trudster MAugust 20, 2011If you don't have a reservation and would like lunch get there by 11:15 line forms quickly.
Andrea S.August 4, 2010Yes I was eating across the room from the Kardashians, and yes The Frozen Hot Chocolate is amazing. But it isn't worth the hour wait or the $8.50 minimum per person when nothing else on the menu
- Gela ZurbitoNovember 28, 2011Get the Bleu Burger with (of course) the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate! Major Yummmm!!
David Treviño IIIFebruary 25, 2012Be patient. Try to be seated on the second floor. Bring camera. Enjoy!
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
Eliza SouraAugust 8, 2016This place is overrated. Waiting for an hour for a regular coffee place. Fruit bowl not fresh and tasty at all. All the food we tried was of mediocre taste. The prices were ridiculous. Good service.
Michelle BuiceNovember 17, 2016Back in the 90's as a teen, this was my first " Manhattan" restaurant date.
Milind ShahJune 13, 2010So everyone I think agrees about the frozen hot chockate but in addition to that the black out cake is amazing as well....
Dessy RabuseJuly 26, 2010what's not to love? Adorable, quirky, fun little place. Yes and the frozen hot chocolate is amazing!
Joe SkeyMarch 16, 2011If you're an ice cream lover, then you will want to opt for a sundae over the frozen hot chocolate...it was like a chocolate icee.
Argh. Make sure to get a table near the front and away from large tables... Full of screaming Tweens
Numwan WannieAugust 17, 2014It's famous for Frozen hot chocolate but I like banana split more. French toast is too dry
Julian NamNovember 5, 2010The Frrrozen Hot Chocolate is actually good. Not sure about the price or the wait to get in. No NYer would normally come here ... unless entertaining out-of-towners.
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.
nuraningrumFebruary 25, 2011frozen hot chocolate for drink and chesse cake for eat are double greaat! share with your mate or fr
Luiz BrandaoNovember 15, 2012Try the Forbidden Broadway Sundae - 3 weeks of spinning twice a day to recover from it
Greg BarilaMay 8, 2017Overpriced and overrated. Give it a miss. The frozen espresso was ok but way too big and has too much cream on top. Blergh.
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.
Jordan T.November 10, 2012The frozen hot chocolate is over rated. Go with the broadway Sundae. It's where it's at.
Kara CarrollJuly 5, 2013BIGGEST. LETDOWN. EVEEEEEERRR! Frozen Hot Chocolate was watered down chocolate milk!!
Lily AdamsOctober 20, 2011There's a minimum order per person so you have to get your own iced hot chocolate!
Jon SpiegelNovember 23, 2014Legendary Thousand Dollar Sunday. But the frozen hot chocolate is a must.
Jamie MacLeanJune 4, 2011$8.50 minimum charge per person! Be warned if your thinking of just sharing a quick sundae with your sweetie!
- Caitlin SakdalanJanuary 27, 2016I think Serendipity is something that every curious tourist or new "New Yorker" has to experience. Overpriced and usually busy but necessary
ilayda kilicOctober 10, 2010It's famous with it's frrrozen hot chocolate.Also Try humble pie it's a creamy peanut butter pie.
