"I really loved my visit here! They are super lovely staff and delicious food, plus a beautiful vibe inside. Everything is so detailed, even up to the shape of the ceiling. It’s a perfect homage. I read some other reviews about the owner and computers but we had a good experience and both brought our computers out! Stayed here for 2.5 hours. Maybe it was okay cause we also both ordered a meal and the restaurant was quiet, but overall no issues at all."

"11/09/2025 Edgar’s Cafe Edgar’s Cafe has been serving the Upper West Side for years but, it was not until recently that we started visiting there, usually on weekends. The owner, Edgar, is a very charming, friendly and attentive man and he is one of the reasons why we keep coming back. We have tried the different types of omelettes they have and they are all very good. Coffee is also good. Today we had the Florence omelette and we shared it. The ambience is very relaxed, laid back and quiet, shared by a mixed crowd of all generations. They have a wide variety of desserts also. Recommending Edgar’s Cafe for any occasion, you will not regret it. “Eat deliciously""

"A hidden neighborhood gem serving up the UWS since 1988! The perfect cozy spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Endless salad options and sandwich choices you’ll absolutely love. The perfect crunch, super easy to eat, and totally delicious. A little place just waiting for you to discover it."

"A lovely hidden gem of UWS! Very cozy place to sit and enjoy delicious salads and cakes. The place is run by the older Italian gentleman called Benny! He has been there since the beginning 1988. And the theme of Edgar Allan Poe and his work. P.S. this is Zingara salad the most delicious salad i ever tried 😋"

"I went with 2 friends for lunch. We ordered from the menu, 2 of the items weren’t available. Rather than tell us up front, the waitress brought two different items. That’s when they told us that the original items were not available. I got the feeling they hoped either we wouldn’t notice or that we would just accept the substitutes. one of our party wound up ordering lasagna which did come but had no layers. I am aware prices have gone up but the salads were small for the price. I won’t be going back and if anyone asked me for a neighborhood recommendation, I would absolutely not suggest this cafe."
