Cafe De Novo

this place is not only disgusting but its staff is rude, unpleasant and good luck if they can speak proper english. one of the guys behind the counter sipping his beer and not doing his job. hey buddy, you cant drink on the job. this isnt mexico. the food was gross… you can tell their food wasnt fresh. simply disgusting!

Dishonest and rude. I wanted something to eat late so my hotel recommended this place. I called for a delivery for a margarita pizza they say they have it on the menu so I ordered it. I knew something was funny when he would only take card because I wanted to pay cash. It gets delivered. I go back up to my room and it’s a cheese pizza. I called back to say the order was wrong. They tell me its tomatoe sauce with basil seasoning in the sauce and cheese. I know when someone is trying to get over on me so I want my money back. I didn’t order a cheese pizza so I should get what I paid for. I know a margarita pizza has tomatoes and basil on top of the mozzarella. The worker was rude and try to be smart with me and said he couldn’t do nothing for me. So I went off on him. Don’t order from them because they don’t want to admit when they’re wrong and fix something that is simple.

I ordered a small salad and pizza slices for delivery, and specifically asked for the ground chilli pepper flakes (they ususally come in small packets you can sprinkle) and the prder taker said yes. They actually charged me for a giant salad, and I got no chilli peppers. The food was decent but nothing to write home about

The food okay. Not the best but this could be because I ordered at the end of the day. Delivery came on time quickly (1:40am). I order a chicken parm panini with curly fries. Would I order again from them: possibility. Hope this helped out anyone. Maybe if I order during the day told would be more fresh? And Better?

Place to go to for breakfast and lunch. Good inexpensive breakfast which is hard to find in the financial district. Workers there are very friendly and know you by name.
Their breakfast platter, which includes eggs, choice of meat, home fries and toast is less that $ 6.00. I prefer their coffee over Dunkin Donuts.
For lunch they have good fresh salads. When I’m not in the mood for a salad, I always get the beef stir fry. Comes with rice, kimchi and soup all for a great price.
Service here is quick and efficient. Another plus is that they are open 24 hours!

Such a cute little place, me and my coworker went there for the Korean food and it was so good! Will definitely recommend and go back again!

What a great place for all types of tastebuds. They had a options from freshly squeezed juices to huge pizza pies to the delicious handmade sandwich. They had delicious phở and fresh salads. The staff was very nice and made our lunch a great one! I wish I was able to get back for another meal but we just didn’t have the time. Thanks again everyone!

Ordered kimchi jiggae here for lunch for delivery (since café hanover, my previous go-​to lunch spot for korean, is inexplicably closed all of a sudden) and it was just ok. Big portion, fast delivery, delivered piping hot but flavor wasn’t the best, tasted kind of… reheated over and over again. But, if you are craving Korean, this will do in a pinch.

Fast service, easy to order, but I got sick from the bibimbap with beef. It looked really good, but i guess it didn’t settle well. I vomited in the middle of the night. Sad, I won’t be back.

Café de novo has a lot of options and as far as I know is open 24 hours. The who make the food are really nice and always recognize me. They’re also very accommodating. I’m very particular about my pizza and the vegetables that go on it and they’re always happy to put on different things even though the pizzas are premade. There aren’t quite as many selections of food as I would like but considering its a 24 hour deli there are a lot of things. They have an upstairs but I haven’t tried it yet. It’s the best place in the area for late night food.

They over charge you if they’re not familiar with your face. I have worked around the corner for years. I normally order delivery but this time I stopped in and was over charged for the same item I normally purchase

I will never eat food from here again. I ordered a cheddar bacon burger and fries and was completely disappointed. The food was soggy and flavorless.

Food is ok at best, prices are high for the quality of food (bacon, egg and cheese platter with a coffee cost me almost $ 10! Yikes!!!) and the mexicans serving the food talk a lot about customers in spanish thinking that they must be the only ones in the world that can speak some sort of secret language that no one but they can understand.
2 stars because if you need something quick like a drink or snack its convenient but thats it. There are more options in the area though.

Along with St. George’s Tavern, this is another «odd» Asian restaurant disguised. The place is open and… they have surprisingly good Kim Chi Jige (Korean Kim Chi Stew). It’s peppery, a little sweet, salty, and piping hot on a late Saturday night after 12 pm. It was well seasoned, packed with spice, and decently authentic. Where else would you get something like that in this part of town that late?
Who would have thunk?

Food was great. The soup #20 and seafood pancakes were delicious and much needed after a long drive to the city. My cousin and I stayed at W hotel for the night and the woman that checked us in recommended some delivery options and we were so delighted with café de novo’s option.

I live very close to them and order or pick up food regularly. This is my go-​to spot for late night orders since they are open 24 hrs. They also have a variety of food to select from (Korean, salads, pizza, paninis, soups, etc.) and have ample seating upstairs. I would be very sad if they ever went out of business since I depend on them so much for my meals/​late night snacking.

This place has absolute ability to be upgraded to 4 or maybe even 5 stars. My experience was limited to a late night, quick, pizza pick up, but even just that was great.
Nestled wayyyy downtown where late night eateries are less present, Café de Novo is a beacon of hope to late night partiers. Offering a full variety of pre-​packaged grab and go items, pizza, and also Korean food, it’s a stop to make for a casual but great meal.
I picked up a few slices after going out with friends. They were generously sized with a fair share of toppings. In my mind it’s a «standard» style pizza. 8 slices to a pie, reasonably doughy inside/​crispy outside crust, just enough cheese and sauce. Nothing crazy, but entirely what you want when you’re looking for pizza. Service was friendly, and prices were reasonable.
I’ll definitely be back to try the bi bim bap.

I’ve gotten delivery from here a few times (I get the cheddar bacon burger and curly fries). Delivery is always fast and the food is always tasty. Heres the caveat … the burger is highly comprised of breadcrumbs so its pretty squishy– I’m not sure what percentage of it is actually meat but I’d guess it somewhere between 25−50%.

Come here for the bibimbap with beef
Ignoring the whole rest of the store, I’m just going to talk about one dish that I really like.
I really like the kinds of vegetables in the bibimbap. There’s a good mix of cooked and raw vegetables. Bean sprouts, seaweed, carrots, zucchini, red cabbage, cucumber, mushrooms and an egg on top. The beef is precooked and heated upon ordering, so it’s not the best, but still pretty good. Great value at $ 10.
It’s on par with Open Kitchen’s bibimbap and better than Café Plaza Deli’s.

This is a 24 hour joint that you go for late night snack. It isn’t the greatest place for a A+ meal but when there’s no place open late, your best bet is here. The prices are cheap and it is quick. It’s like a mini mart with a more exotic menu in that there’s korean/​japanese selections for food.
I had the dumpling and rice cake bowl. It came with rice and some kimchi. The kimchi was actually pretty good. The rice was like gelatin though, not tasty. The dumplings fell apart at the touch, spilling our the mediocre veggie fillings. The glass noodles were ok and the soup tasted fine all the same.
They also deliver so there’s another point of convenience.
