Gigi Cafe

So good, great prices and incredible service. I can’t believe we were there, we ate 2 breakfast sandwiches and 2 freshly made muffins and drink 2 coffees and we only spent 12 $ We thought there must have been a problem with the prices. And they gave us a complementary 10% discount without even asking. Incredible. Highly recommend it

Today I was in there. I bought a cake. But it wasn’t fresh at all. It’s I’m pretty sure it was sitting there over a month. I just took a bite and throw the rest to garbage. For your health I don’t recommend you to go this café. Literally just waste of money and I’m hoping I didn’t get toxicity.

Redeemed LevelUp credit here for an overpriced bag of chips from the very confused staff. Clean enough place for a quick bite if you have the misfortune of working over here.

Loving Gigi’s! I am trying to watch my weight and GiGi is a great place for my salads!!! Today I opted for the ceasar salad a I will admit I was a little disappointed because it was pre packaged however it was delicious!!! All ingredients were fresh! Thank you!

Sandwiches are too small; they are very good but much too small. Fix this please Gigi.

Great lunch spot. The staff is very friendly. In fact, maybe the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered at a lunch spot. The food is good, and service is very fast. I’m usually in and out of there in less than 5 minutes. There’s a good variety of pre-​made sandwiches, as well as some soups, a salad-​mixing bar, and a pasta station where they will make your pasta with unlimited toppings. Prices are reasonable. The pastas are only $ 8, and the sandwiches are $ 7. And they often have specials where they take a dollar off the sandwiches and the pastas. I now go there 2 – 3 times a week.

Staff is not friendly and if you tell them they made your order wrong they will actually blame you. This has happened to me on more than one occasion. I used to order from them every weekday because they deliver fast. So I am using a very large sample size on this review. They overcharged me and refused to refund the amount. Even when I threatened to never order from them again. They do not care about their customers or appreciate their business. I also found a bug’s wing in one of my chopped salads some time back. I should have stopped ordering from them years ago. Don’t make the same mistake I made. Don’t order from this place, you can do better and they don’t value your business.

We stopped in on the last day of our short NYC trip for breakfast other than the usual options. Very clean, very friendly, and very fresh food. We had made-​to-​order eggs with a variety of fresh vegetable options. The home-​fried potatoes with sweet peppers and onions were very good. Wish we had found this place sooner, I would have tried them for lunch or dinner, but we will definitely be back!

Love this place! The food is so good and the owner/​manager is great! They take good care of you here and you’ll leave very happy. Everyone I’ve brought here becomes a repeat customer!

Solid 3.5-star café with an assortment of pastries that will make your mouth water in addition to sandwiches/​pasta that would be awesome at lunch. They have $ 1 regular iced coffee which I get nearly every morning with a very delicious/​decadent almond croissant. I have also had their red velvet cupcake and tiramisu, which I hate to say was only average if a bit on the drier side (I guess that depends on the time of day and turnover of their pastries. The cashier ladies are excellent and very friendly. My recommendation: come here for their awesome regular ice coffee (comparable to much more expensive places around) and for some of the delectable pastries.

Awesome spot! I order from here all the time when I am entertaining guests on my rooftop! Fresh food and quick delivery! Reasonably priced and convenient.

Fantastic food! Great staff. I eat here everyday after my Tae Kwondo class. I’m Vegan and need a wholesome, hot meal after my work out. Delicious smoothies, blended juices, soups, great made to order salads and sandwiches and dishes are delightful.
Gigi’s on 34^th street has a very tasty menu to choose from everyday! I can even get a things not even on the menu. How cool is that? It is conveniently located in Murray Hill, 1 block away from the Empire State building 1 block from my house lol and a few blocks from Macy’s, Harold Square. So even after an exhausting day of shopping, I can count on Gigi’s for a delicious meal.

I frequent the Gigi café in upper west side and was a little disappointed to find out that this location doesn’t have pizza like the UWS. But the service is AMAZING so I’ll get over it. For real though, the staff is soooo fricken friendly I almost forgot I was in New York!
I had the «create your own pasta». Cheese tortellini with Alfredo, grilled chicken, and red pepper flakes… It was delish! And fast, too.

Gigi Café is a standard breakfast/​lunch spot in Midtown. I had the Grilled Whole Wheat Breakfast Wraps with egg whites, mixed vegetables, and dice tomatoes.
Because I ate the wrap about an hour after the purchase, the wrap became really soggy from the watery tomatoes. The breakfast wrap definitely needed more seasoning because it tasted quite bland. I think the addition of even a pinch of salt would have enhanced the flavors dramatically. The wrap tasted healthy… not so much grease/​oil, which I liked. I wish there had been more vegetables (there were bits of broccoli and red bell peppers). The fillings essentially tasted like bland, cheeseless frittata.
I think I’d be willing to try the place again for lunch, but probably won’t get the breakfast wraps again.

I work around the area and have been coming here for years ever since I first discovered it. It can get busy during lunch time, but the ordering and checkout process is usually rather quick. The service is superb and the staff are all extremely friendly and attentive.
Salads — they have great unlimited topping salads with fresh ingredients. One of the main reasons why I like Gigi salads so much is because of their unlimited toppings. You pick one meat, two premium items, and the rest are unlimited. There are other places I’ve been to in the city where you are charged for each specific item, which can really rack up the price.
Soups — They have different soup choices everyday. Just call or check online. My favorite soups from here are the broccoli cheddar, new England clam chowder, and beef barley. I’m not a big fan of chicken noodle soup, only because I find it too oily. But I definitely recommend the others!
Sandwiches — There’s a variety of signature sandwiches/​wraps/​paninis to choose from. You can also request for them to make you a custom wrap with ingredients of your choosing. I often opt for the soup/​sandwich combo where you will get a small soup and half a sandwich. Some of the ones I recommend are the chicken milano, perfect philly cheese steak, and cranberry-​nut chicken Salad
They recently revamped their entire menu and raised prices, but they do offer good deals if you place an order online via their website. The deals (available via coupon code) changes every month, with some offering 25% off your entire order! You can also buy their giftcards for 20% off. So if you are like me and come here quite frequently, then you’re better off getting a $ 50 giftcard and paying $ 40.
I usually take my order to go, but there is a small seating area in the back for those who prefer to sit in. I never get phone reception (T-​Mobile) in that area, but there’s free wifi available!

The food is actually really tasty, this review is based on the service/​delivery.
I ordered and THREE separate items did not arrive. I called them immediately, at 4:10pm and was told they are already closed (their hours say they close at 5pm) and nothing they can do. I asked him how do I get a refund of the missing items and he hung up on me.
I’m sure Seamless will make it right since it was ordered through them, but yet another in an increasing number of places where the staff ruin what would be a much higher review if based only on food quality.

I get my breakfast here everyday. They are simply amazing. I walk in everyday to a clean café if which is never cluttered OR a long wait.
The workers are awesome and very pleasant to be dealing with you.
What I live he most is how clean the place is ALWAYS.
I DEF RECOMMEND IT!
The think about this. I get and egg white omelet with chesse and veggies and home fries and toast and and a medium ice coffee all for 5.29 on 34^th st. And it tastes good.

Almost 2 years later and I’m still a fan of Gigi café for the following reasons:
–Tend to have weekly lunch specials every now and again
–Unlimited toppings on your salad (which is a bargain in midtown)
— Their pasta, specifically their lasagna, is amazing
— Ordering via Seamless is quick & painless
— They offer items you’d find at your local deli (yogurt, chips, soda, etc.)

Beyond annoying to get a catering quote. The woman insisted I go through the menu with her, item by item. I ended the call immediately. I’m a busy professional and don’t have time for nonsense. I also have 2 other catering companies providing quotes, of which Gigi Café will not be a part of from now on.
Due to one lousy phone call, Gigi just lost my business for multiple events that I host, due to her extremely unprofessional behavior. I would NOT recommend anyone to deal with a pushy and RUDE catering sales person. Save yourself the hassle and go elsewhere.

I work right across the street so I’ve been here at least a 100 times.
The salad’s are great — for about $ 9 you can pretty much get as much as you can fit into the plastic bowl. The soups are okay too.
The pasta is amazing! You select your ingredients and they heat it up for you.
The sandwiches are small and expensive. But I’ve had them because my company orders catering services from them — so they are tasty as well.
