Mellow Yellow

wow - the coffee was delicious and so was the food! we ordered the shakshuka, avocado toast (my favorite), green omelet sandwich, and the spinach feta boureka. the food was INCREDIBLE! great music, chill vibes, and amazing employees 💙

This was a different take on avocado toast than I have had before, and I enjoyed it! I paid extra for an egg on top. Their iced coffee is good as well. What really stood out was the very friendly staff!

One of the friendliest, homeliest, and delicious places I have ever been to. The food is absolutely delightful, we got the sabich and shakshuka sandwiches, both were outstanding. The atmosphere is extremely cozy and homely and the people that run the place just seem absolutely lovely.

This place is more than just a local gem. The vibe. The atmosphere. The good energy. The music. The food. Seriously the best shakshukah and freshest pita in town. To sit at the window while enjoying my breakfast and listening to Cody sing with with his heart and soul is the best nourishment. Yalla! Let’s go!

For real the friendliest people I met in NYC! The staff explained the options in detail, and they were just a ray of sunshine! Their food tasted fresh and hot as well. I got no complaints, great experience for me!

We had the shakshuka and the soup of the day (califlower soup) and they were both really good! Friendly staff and cool vibes. Coffee tasted great as well. Highly recommend! 👌🏼

Mellow yellow serves the best hummus in the upper east. Everything we ordered tasted really good. The service is top notch.

Loved stumbling across this cute bohemian cafe on the UES. I had a chocolate tahini cookie and a hot Moroccan tea. Such a sweet staff, so cozy, great music, great vibes.

Good coffee here. It is smooth and nice. Staff is nice.

Absolutely delicious as always! Great spot for lunch just to sit, great atmosphere and enjoy some food. Shakshuka plate with feta + Moroccan Tea and you’re set!

I’ve been looking for more and more affordable casual places and this is my favorite as of recently. I learned about it through Reddit ask nyc when someone was asking what’s the best coffee in town. They recommend mello yellows Turkish coffee. It is great. But even better is the food. I’m not the biggest fan of hummus but this is wow. The employees are super friendly. I love the homey vibe of the place and how kitschy interior. It has a lot of character and charm. It’s so laid back and not stuffy or intimidating. My biggest regret was not getting the mint limeade. I saw so many people get it and will definitely have to come back!!

I had an amazing experience at Mello Yellow earlier! The food was incredibly delicious, capturing the authentic flavors of Israel. The perfect ambience enhanced the dining experience, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. From the attentive service of Kobi and Alon to the delectable dishes, it's a place I can't wait to visit again.

Great food, drinks, and people. Everything is delicious. I also appreciate their refreshing mint beverages, both the normal tea and the lemonada in season. Their desserts can be a bit better though. The tahini cookies are a bit underwhelming

One of my favorite places when I'm in the city for any food, period. The hummus sabich (and the portable Abu Pita) is a gem, and the staff are all very, very welcoming. Excited to come back next time I'm in NYC.

The BEST cafe / coffee shop in UES. Great vibes, great coffee, great food, great music. The baklava is the best I’ve had in New York. Glad I discovered this gem while staying in the neighborhood

This small coffee shop really knows how to make delicious quality food. We got shakshuka and hummus abo Rafa. The food tasted so fresh. There are 4 small tables and a bar top. Great place for a quick bite and small talk over coffee with pastries. Interior is so cute and well designed. I am so happy to find this gem in upper east side. I will definitely be returning to try more on the menu.

Last week my team visited Mellow Yellow for the first time, and they still talking about how good was there the Hummus and how delicious the Shakshuka ,
Place clean and restroom was smelling good
We definitely will come back ,our store not far from this location and we always looking for quick lunch , highly recommended

Just hopped off a flight and was craving shakshuka. This was exactly what I wanted and more. So delicious, cozy vibes, and perfect for a rainy day! The lemonana was so soooo refreshing!

I’ve always wanted to stop by and was not disappointed! The Lemonana is so refreshing and perfect for summer. Amazing vibes and friendly staff.
