Cafe Kabila

One of my favorite local sandwich shops, has good variety and taste really good.

I’ve been coming to Kabila since the summer of 2015 and truly enjoy it. The service is impeccable. The only reason why it didn’t receive 5 stars is because sometimes the quality can shift– sometimes it’s super good and then not so great (but still good). I usually get the chicken grilled cheese. The soups are always on point however and I am never disappointed with them.

Got a free soup with a Unilocal check-​in. Had the Tomato Basil with a Chicken Caprice sandwich, everything was delicious! Fresh, clean, and healthy. Happy to find this place!

Usually like going to this place for delicious soup with their Parmesan bread, but not any more. I just found a piece of glass in my soup. WTH Kabila!!! Is that the secret to your curry pumpkin corn soup? No thanks, never coming back here.

I ordered a beef kebob box for lunch via Seamless since I saw it recommended by someone else. Maybe mine was made different, but it really wan’t anything worth going for. The veggies that came with it were alright. Just cabbage and zucchini. However, the food part of the dish… meh. The rice was edible but pretty dry and tasteless. The meat was really dry. I could barely eat it even with the dressing, and I don’t think I’d have been able to eat it at all without it. As it was, I couldn’t finish all three pieces.
I also ordered a Kabila Spiced Chai latte, which tasted find but was far too sweet. Yes, I did order it with the vanilla syrup but shouldn’t they know not to put both the sugar AND the syrup in it? Since it was a size small, it really made a big difference. Also, the bottom was just clumpy chai spice which was pretty unpleasant.
On the upside, they have a very quick delivery. It took only 30 minutes to get it from the time I placed the order online.

It’s not very helpful for tourists when the hours on your account are wrong. My husband and I arrived first thing on Sunday morning before walking to the greyhound only to find that this coffee shop is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, unlike what it says on this Unilocal account.

Great coffe. Excellent service, fast and very friendly. Clean and beautiful environment. I had the café of the day today and it tasted great!!!

True 5 stars. I’ve been a loyal customer for months and I’m never disappointed!
Left of field combinations that are always delicious and fresh. Best quality and most unique soup/​salad/​sandwich place in the area. I wasn’t even a person who liked soup until I came here!
The guys are so friendly and will give you soup samples while you decide.(which are the best)
My go tos:
Salads-​grilled chicken, Chinese chicken, fresh mozzarella
Sandwiches-​curried chicken salad, sesame salmon, smoked turkey and Brie
Soups-​pumpkin bisque. But also try the other ones but pb wins.
There’s also a small cold and hot bar in the back where sometimes I get squash, Brussels sprouts, etc.
Just go here. It’s a guaranteed win in terms of a delicious daily lunch.

I love this place. It’s The staff is always pleasant even when they’re super busy. I’ve tried omelets, muffins, the freshly pressed juice, and coffee. Everything has been delicious. Just be aware, prices have gone up SIGNIFICANTLY lol! I still love them, I’ll just have to stop in a little less often now…

«Go To» for lunch. Fair prices, very fresh and the hot and cold dishes change almost daily. Sandwiches are great and very good salad bar.

Love coming to Kabila for a quick but yummy lunch! — Only downside is that it is a bit expensive

Standard overpriced salad/​sandwich/​coffee/​juice place where the people behind the counter have a sense of helpless impending death in their eyes…
Mostly it makes you want to grab your food and run back to the office.

Parfait pour une pause déjeuner, beaucoup de choix: soupe, sandwichs, salade, gâteaux… Etc. Les gens sont adorables et l’espace proposer suffisamment de places et de tables. N’ayez pas peur de la queue à la caisse car ils sont très rapides! Et juste ENJOY! Merci Aziz.

I have to keep with the four star reviews. Nice place, clean and neat, employees are fine. Food is displayed attractively. Guys at the office recommend the soups — so I finally stopped in today and got the Yemeni Chicken Soup — tasty, seasoning was very good, the broth was a little thin. I will try them again.

Everything here is high high quality. Very unexpected for the garment district. Appearance is excellent… food is excellent. Had chicken pesto sandwich with pumpkin and corn chowder soup. and they were both terrific. Only downside is qty. can be sparce for the price paid.

The sesame salmon salad sandwich is bonkers. Overall a spot that shouldn’t be overlooked by anyone unfortunate enough to work in the area. Healthy/​good quality food that tastes good.

I had a high expectation of Café Kabila given its overall Unilocal rating, but I wasn’t particularly impressed with the food that I ordered. I got the Roast Salmon Salad ($ 10.50), which included ancho roasted salmon, granny smith apples, haas avocado, tomatoes, and sliced egg with sesame soy dressing over mixed greens. I also added roasted butternut squash, roasted Thai tofu, and caramelized shallot. I asked for the dressing on the side, but the dressing was mixed in with the salad. Beyond that, the salad was missing avocado. All the other ingredients were okay… the butternut squash and the tofu were a bit too overcooked that they tasted hard. The salmon was served as little bits and pieces rather than as a whole filet.
I additionally got the Vegan Split Pea Soup. The soup itself was warm and hearty, but the onion sourdough roll on the side tasted stale. The «Fat-​Free» Pumpkin Apple Muffin certainly tasted fat free because it had no flavors at all. In fact, it tasted like laundry detergent… do not order it.

The food is amazing !!!

Not your typical NYC tossed salad, soup and sandwich café. This place is a bit of an upgrade. The food bar has some nice Mediterranean selections. The soup options are very creative, I noticed they had chicken curry and butternut squash just to name a few. I tried the turkey chili and the flavor rocked, but it was more like turkey vegetable brothy soup than chili. The sandwiches look great, my co-​worker ordered one and liked it a lot. The salads are good too. They have a great bakery selections with flavored iced coffees. They also provide you with many sweetening options like agave syrup, brown and white sugar cubes, etc.
Overall a really nice lunch spot!

This place is right across the street from my office and it’s a Godsend. It’s super clean and they have such a great selection from morning pastries to a really eclectic hot bar at lunch time. Prices are pretty reasonable and I’ve never had something I didn’t enjoy. Just wish the machines to use my LEVEL UP app were working again!

Excelllllent wraps, super friendly delivery guys, very fast service.
It tastes fresh, clean, and delicious. I had the tunisian tuna wrap with garlic aoili, roasted red peppers, arugula, sliced egg. very, very good and worth the $ 8.50.
I am full without feeling it (if you understand the feeling).
$ 10 for an amazing wrap and fast delivery. hell yes, I’ll be ordering lunches here plenty.
