nice little place on high st, nothing amazing, but some definitely a cafe i would recommend.

the staff don't pay too much attention but the coffee is acceptable, and they have a nice atmosphere, especially the outdoor section.

We went to this place once for a work function and it took 1 and 3/4 hours for food to be served. I was starving and ended up eating a lemon from my drink! Others were not impressed either. The food was nice once it arrived, but I would have eaten just about anything by then

Alphabet city is an average cafe- there is nothing particularly great about it and there are other cafes a lot better but they do a very good beef nachos!
Some staff members are friendly but others can be quite cold. I have been served stone cold coffees and hot chocolates and have been treated very rudely when I asked for another hotter one! Friends have also been treated rudely when they found a fly and a hair in their food (in the one visit) and tried to get another meal - the manager did not apologise and refused to give them a free meal which is understandable but is not the sort of service that makes someone want to come back! Their hot chocolates do come with mashmellows though which is a plus!

Approximate cost: $19

Alphabet City is a lovely place to have a relaxing meal any time of day. Very popular during the day for coffees, there is also a back "beer garden" area which is perfect for Summer dinners, especially the really nice Greek salad. Staff are helpful and friendly.

Nothing special about this place except if you have little ones and you need a coffee and somewhere to hang - they have a great little room or courtyard for you to do just that!
