I came to this café with my girlfriend and we had a wonderful time. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for relaxing. Special thanks to David — he was very kind, attentive, and provided excellent service. He even helped us take some photos, which we really appreciated. He made us feel very comfortable. We will definitely come back again!

Really great food, super tasty brunch/breakfast restaurant. The only down side is that it’s in the middle of a shopping mall and they allowed dogs inside which were quite loud. But other than that cool spot - worth a try!

Response from the owner

Hi Czarek, <br>Thank you so much for the kind words and for giving our restaurant a shot! We're so happy the brunch hit the spot. We hear you on the environment, and we'll keep that in mind. Hope to see you back soon!<br>The Tartinery Team

One of the universal truths of life is that bread is fabulous. Slice that bread and toast it, and you’ve got yourself a blank culinary slate, signaling creativity in how you top it.<br><br>If one has ever sat in a French café and ordered breakfast, one has probably encountered the word "tartine" (tar·tine). When talking about le petit déjeuner, it refers to a split baguette with butter and jam. But in France, a tartine can also be an open-faced sandwich on a slice of baguette. Bread is the bedrock of an artsy French tartine.<br><br>Situated on the 3rd floor inside the Shops at Columbus Circle, Tartinery Café-Bar is a casual French establishment offering tartines, salads, and pastries, as well as coffee, cocktails, and fresh juices.<br><br>I stopped for a Macchiato. The coffee was spectacular, rich, and flavorful. The friendly staff would accommodate just the way one likes it. The service was quick and the price comparable to the area.<br><br>Good place to take a break from shopping or meet up with friends.

Response from the owner

Hi Eloy, <br><br>Thank you for the kind words and for stopping by for a Macchiato!<br>We are so glad it hit the spot.<br>Hope to see you again soon and earn that 5th star!<br><br>The Tartinery Team

Great pastry spot in the mall at Columbus Circle. It’s on the 4th floor, in the middle of the action. The coffee is excellent and so is the chocolate fondant! You’ll probably see some dancers; the ballet is not far from here…

Response from the owner

Hi Bryan, <br>Thank you for the sweet words and for stopping by! We're so glad the coffee and chocolate fondant hit the spot. Hope to see you again soon!<br>The Tartinery Team

I was served by David and he provided possibly the best service I’ve experienced in NYC! Not to mention the deserts and views were incredible. I was recommended the Apple Tart and paired it was a Matcha Latte, and I left a very happy person! ✨

This place is such a pleasant surprise! I first thought it was just a coffee shop with a few light bites, but the menu actually has a lot more to offer. The atmosphere is beautiful and simple, matching the clean and fresh flavors of the food. I tried the avocado hummus tartine, the lemony twist made it unique and really tasty. Definitely coming back to try more from the menu!

As usual, I picked our lunch spot based on Google reviews—and Tartinery Café’s 4.8 stars were spot on! This charming café is located near Columbus Circle, right by Central Park, inside a shopping center on the third floor with a lovely view overlooking the circle.<br><br>I had the avocado toast with a soft-boiled egg and lentil soup—both fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. My husband had the quinoa bowl with added salmon, which was a great portion and equally delicious.<br><br>Our servers, David and Darrel, were outstanding—so warm and professional. They introduced themselves, shook our hands, and made us feel genuinely welcome. We also enjoyed almond milk and oat milk lattes that were perfectly made.<br><br>A truly lovely experience from start to finish—highly recommend Tartinery Café for a fresh, friendly, and relaxing meal in the heart of New York City!

Response from the owner

Food was amazing!! I love Tartinery, first time at this location. David was our server, he was very attentive, made sure our food was good, talked to us about the menu, he was very kind and gave us a complimentary lemon tart at the end.<br>If you’re looking for a place to eat, relax and have a great time near Central Park please stop by!
