Cons:

  • "Customer service, 2.5/5– have you ever had an experience so bad that it made you think something must be going terribly wrong in this person’s personal life?"
  • "The tall woman was incredibly rude to me and several other customers."
  • "Unfortunately we had a bad experience at this place. Horrible, employees shouting in the place, my boyfriend was interrupted by an employee who prohibited him from taking a photo and that if she appeared he would have to take it and delete it."
  • "I couldn't believe someone would say that to a person whose throat is literally closing, especially from a place that represents themselves with an 'elevated' aesthetic and price."
  • "This is not appropriate for any civilized person, let alone working in customer service!!"

Ambiance and Decor

Pros:

  • "The decor is absolutely beautiful and their coffee is top notch as well as everything else they have."

  • "Felix is a beautiful cafe in an unexpected location."
  • "Imagine the most beautiful space you can, serving the best coffee you can imagine, staffed by the friendliest people you could want to meet."
  • "The coffee is incredible..the place is an aesthetic dream..incredible design and ambiance..the service is impeccable the baristas are so hospitable and welcoming."
  • "It is still one of the most elegant cafes in town."
  • "An amazing space with a trendy Victorian vibe."

Cons:

  • "No camera !! If you take a picture, they will stop you! Very unacceptable!"
  • "But look closer and the banquet cushions are dingier."
  • "I hate the design of this café (Boho chic graduates to neo-Victorian)."
  • "If you can overlook dingy floors and unkempt unwashed tables you bus yourself."
  • "The decor is a little baroque for my tastes, but it grew on me."
  • "The music was actually quite loud so it was not ideal for doing that big presentation, or quiet conversation."
  • "Seating is definitely limited."

Coffee and Drinks

Pros:

  • "The graham milk was rich and the homemade marshmallow was a great touch."
  • "The DECONSTRUCTED ESPRESSO TONIC is a refreshing summer delight - I love the combination of hibiscus and lemonade in that goblet!"
  • "Such high quality caffeine coming out of a place you would expect to charge double Starbucks, but in fact is at the same price point."
  • "The coffee was amazing and the almond croissant was to die for."
  • "They have this $13 dollar hickory smoked s'mores latte that will net you internet points regardless of where you post it."
  • "The coffee itself is good, and the service I found was friendly."
  • "The best filter coffee I’ve had in America so far 😝 which brings warmth to my Australian barista heart."

Cons:

  • "There's been what feels like too many days that I go in - *so excited* for that morning coffee, the ritual, the creaminess - to be told that the machine is broken and not yet been fixed."
  • "The hot chai tea with nut milk was $7.08. Didn’t love it. Was pretty watery and not much of the chai flavor present."
  • "We had the hickory smoked s’mores latte, for $15 we expected at least some sort of experience, but it’s just a regular flavoured latte."
  • "The coffee itself is average."
  • "Speaking of the taste, it's nothing special."
  • "It’s quite pricey and to be honest I’ve had better coffee at a similar price."
  • "I had a cappuccino and it was not good at all. Tasted bitter (over extracted) and the milk was too hot again adding to the bitterness."

Food and Pastries

Pros:

  • "Amazing coffees and deserts - some savory too."
  • "The Felix classic bagel was delish as well."
  • "Croissants are absolutely amazing and the coffee was ok."
  • "The hickory smoked s'mores latte has a unique taste!!!"
  • "Just wow! Great ambience and the Felix Classic with Salmon is one of the BEST Lox and Bagels I've ever had!"
  • "Their toasts and sandwiches look great and are delicious."
  • "One of the best avocado toasts I have had!"

Cons:

  • "Their seasonal drinks are artfully executed and have an unique twist on coffee, which are over $10 for a cup of coffee."
  • "Specialty milk and flavoring are each +$1.5 extra."
  • "Apparently the pastries are sold out by 1pm Thursday to Sunday because of the popularity."
  • "The toasted marshmallow latte is very good but is it worth $17?"
  • "The only thing I order to eat was a Pain au Chocolat and it wasn't warm (nor did they ask me if I wanted it heated)."
  • "Great latte, nicely/uniquely designed coffee shop, but croissants were terrible."
  • "Also an odd choice to pair sweet fig jam with a salty heavily garlic-infused ricotta, not my gig but you do you…"

Pricing and Value

Pros:

  • "It's on the pricer end but I think you pay for the quality and the ambience."
  • "Yeah, the one review previous said you’re basically getting coffee in a Wes Anderson set. And that’s wildly accurate."
  • "Their regular coffee options are very good and not much more than other coffee shops."
  • "Prices are competitive and reasonable considering the location."
  • "I think I got my money's worth so it's 5 stars all the way."
  • "The rich blend of hickory and s'mores flavors created a unique and delicious experience."
  • "I have high expectations for coffee after living in Australia for awhile and theirs didn’t disappoint."

Cons:

  • "6$ for small macha, which is not that cheap to start with but charging extra $2 for any nut milk is madness."
  • "Steeply overpriced because 'inflation' I imagine."
  • "The toasted marshmallow latte is very good but is it worth $17?"
  • "$9.25 is absolutely ridiculous and asinine."
  • "The cappuccino was also pretty watery."
  • "Beware! This place has a weird policy not to sell some items when they are busy and the staff decided who they should reject to sell their coffee!"
  • "Definitely trendy and pricy."

Policy and Management

Pros:

  • "Please make a chain so that everyone can experience this wonderful coffee place."
  • "Whether you need a quick shot of caffeine or want to 'create a mindful moment' with a handcrafted nut milk latte, this Park Avenue hotspot will sooth your soul."
  • "They don't have many seats so lots of open area and feels less crowded."
  • "They kindly remind the customers to get water / use the restroom before closing (in 20min)."
  • "Pastries are from Supermoon bakehouse."
  • "The pastries come from a stellar local bakery found on the Lower East Side."
  • "In Felix you feel as though you've entered the modern aristocracy."
