I would have to say, I’m a fan on EXKi. It’s a great place to come for lunch or to get some work done. I absolutely love their healthy yet tasteful options, their full coffee bar, and the atmosphere. For a person with a no-lactose diet, they have a ton of vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options. Big plus. On the down side… I really couldn’t get over how expensive everything was. I got the sweet potato soup, mainly because it tasted good, but that was the lowest cost item I could find($ 5 for a small). Their hot sandwiches, which looked really good, were $ 8 for HALF a sandwich. And a small salad could cost almost $ 11. They’re all delicious and healthy, but still a little pricey. What makes up for the price is the atmosphere of the place. They have a ton of comfy seating. Their chairs are very low – just as a warning to tall people. Other than that, I would definitely go again.

I work in Times Square but hop on the train just to eat their sandwiches. I absolutely love the chicken, mushroom and mozzarella. Don’t judge me but on one particularly stressful afternoon, I followed that sandwich with another one(a delicious cauliflower, curry, kale and chicken sandwich). So good! The only drawback is that the bread is a little too crunchy for my preference. The place is very clean, the staff is incredibly nice(I was offered water for both my sandwiches lol and given free samples of banana nut bread). A healthy, tasty option in a spacious, comfortable atmosphere. I’ll be back to eat all your sandwiches in one sitting again, Exki!

Still a fan! Not sure if I didn’t notice before — but it looks like they’ve added more seating. I LOVE the Ham & Cheddar Eggxki. My coworkers always bring delicious looking sandwiches and wraps for lunch.

5-Stars. I am in love with Ekki. Great atmosphere. Like an oasis three blocks away from my office. I recommend the Americano and carrot ginger muffin for a light bite. The salads are more filling if you are looking for more than a snack. What are you waiting for? You need to go to Ekki! And, you will see what all the writing is about — for yourself.

Finding this store in the rain… Was looking forward to have the Lawrence bagel. Instead, they have the Omega E … Very disappointed. Hopefully, EXKi please bring Lawrence Bagel to NYC it will be a hit !! My gluten free friends and Eco friendly friends this is a great restaurant.

I went there yesterday with a friend and we arrived at about 1:15 p.m. Although it was still lunch hour and most of the tables were taken, we were able to get a table because it’s quite a good-sized place. The only problem is that most of the tables — including the one where we sat — have *very* low chairs. Unlike my friend, I’m a little tall and therefore the chair was really uncomfortable; I literally had to sit kind of sideways, so I could stick my legs out from the table. Eventually the place nearly cleared out, so we were able to move to one of the tables in the back(where the chairs are a normal height). A nice aspect was that we were able to stay there for about 2 ½ hours(truthfully, we could have stayed even longer) because most of the customers apparently returned to work. The interior is very spacious, plus it also has floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides and that makes it really attractive. All of the people working there were *super*-friendly. Another positive thing was the cleanliness, including the restroom. I got the large size of the carrot ginger soup and it was much more filling than I’d expected(also delicious, although the ginger was very spicy [undoubtedly that wouldn’t be a problem for most people, but I’m very sensitive to spicy foods]). It was $ 5.90 plus tax, which was very reasonable for the generous serving. Later I got a large cup of their drip coffee($ 2.25 plus tax) and the taste was surprisingly mediocre — but nevertheless, I really liked EXKi and I look forward to returning.

Here on travel for business and I came across this great place next to my hotel. Everything is fresh. The service was really nice despite me walking in 10 minutes before closing. I got a salad, dessert, and a carbonated water for under $ 20 in NYC, and it all tasted great!

One of my favorite coffee shop so far in the middle of Manhattan… Feels like oasis with the fastest wifi. And mostly, bathroom is so clean haha. Ordered Hot mocha with breakfast homemade eggs which was pretty decent and feels like fulfilled. Highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely will come back to this place

I actually really like this place. I bought one of their non dairy smoothies. It was pineapple, cucumber, mint and tea. The smoothie was quickly made by the staff and they were all very kind. The smoothie itself was great. Each thing didn’t overpower the smoothie and all combined very well. I usually have a problem with tasting chucks of stuff in my smoothies but these guys did a great job with preventing that. Definitely coming back.

Yesterday, I had a meeting nearby Exki. With the team we went to grab something to eat before. I took: A. The Strawberry Mint Smoothie to cool me down on one of the first NY hot days of the year. Super re“fresh“ing. Delicious. And very well served. They sell the cup with mint tea and strawberry and blend it at the register. Nice little detail. I love details. :-) B. I asked one of the Exki Guys what he would recommend. He introduced me to the Tuna Bagnat. Again, very nice and fresh. A delicious multi cereal baguette with tuna and a Red Pepper Emulsion(+tomato, pickled onion, lettuce). Good choice. Conclusion: Nice people, I ate well, I was fulfilled, refreshed and had a great energy to start the meeting. I like places that make me happy. This one did.

I live nearby and was excited to see a nice food place opening up nearby. I walked in the other day to realize pretty much all they serve are pre-made sandwiches and coffee… disappointing.

New Spot in the neighborhood, this is another location for the EXKI in Ny, there was one other location previously. It seems like a very nice environment and somewhere to get a nice healthy meal. I was here last week during breakfast hours and got a blueberry bran muffin($ 3.95) that was really great. I also got a large Cappucino drink with whole milk and it hit the spot. Regular american drip coffee looked great but I waited for my joint. The croissants here were not bad as well. Very exquisite different recipes for the wraps and lunch menu, need to come back for a visit.
