"Absolutely loved Jack’s Wife Freda! The food was delicious, and the matcha was by far one of the best I’ve had. I went alone, and the experience was still so welcoming thanks to the amazing staff. Everyone had such positive, happy energy, but one staff member in particular who spoke Italian was especially kind and made me feel really comfortable. It instantly lifted my mood. Such a warm, feel-good place with great food and even better service."

"spots purely for the vibes. Sitting outside is the real star here — it’s perfect for people watching, soaking in the energy of the neighborhood, and feeling like you’re right in the middle of everything SoHo has to offer. Almost every time I’m there, there are influencers outside snapping photos, styling outfits, and creating content, which honestly just adds to the fun, buzzy atmosphere. The food is good and reliable, but this is definitely a place I come to more for the experience than a mind-blowing meal. That said, everything I’ve tried has been tasty, well-presented, and easy to enjoy whether you’re grabbing brunch, lunch, or a casual bite. It’s the kind of menu that works perfectly for lingering over conversation while watching the city move around you. Service is usually friendly and efficient, and the whole place has that effortlessly cool, downtown café feel. If you’re looking for a spot to see and be seen, enjoy great outdoor seating, and absorb classic SoHo energy, Jack’s Wife Freda is a great choice."

"A good restaurant to meet up with friends and family. The food is amazing and has a good selection of vegan, vegetarian and meat options. I highly recommend the vegetable curry bowl and the grilled eggplant baguette, some of the best curry bowl and sandwiches I've had. The ambience is very nice, it was filled to the brim with people so I recommend reserving a table if possible. The haloumi was garlicy and very tasty and combined with the grapes it made a great appetizer. Definitely recommend the place."

"I visited Jack’s Wife Bodega in New York City on my own, and the experience was surprisingly warm and inviting from the moment I walked in. The ambience was cozy with a stylish, modern touch—bright enough to feel lively, but still relaxed and comfortable for solo dining. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making the space feel friendly without being overwhelming. The service moved smoothly, and I never felt rushed. The menu had a great variety, and the dish I ordered was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared, and the portion sizes were just right. The drink options complemented the food well, and the overall pace of the meal made the experience feel peaceful and enjoyable. Even dining alone, it felt like a place where you can settle in, enjoy your time, and feel completely at ease. Jack’s Wife Bodega delivered a lovely, relaxed visit with great food, warm service, and a charming atmosphere."

"Great Sunday brunch spot! The food is amazing! The grapefruit yogurt bowl was the highlight! It was so good! The steak was also very tender. The staff here are very nice and welcoming. Food came quick and they would always check on us to see if we need anything. Highly recommended!"
