Café Frederick

Great little cafe on Frederick Douglass in Harlem. The iced coffee was delicious. The food was cooked very fresh and super tasty. The home fries that come with the omelette were some of the best I’ve ever tasted in my life. The granola parfait with berries and honey was simply delicious. Must try if looking for a quick and fresh delicious breakfast/brunch in Harlem. Amazing!

By far, my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. I've tried all the newer ones that have popped up on Frederick Douglass, but I feel most at home here. They have the most room, with the best decor and the most consistently perfect coffee. Love the crepes and in the fall the hot apple cider.

Waited over an hour for crepes that were thick, fluffy, and made with pancake batter NOT crepe batter. I asked for chai tea and was served hot water, milk, and loose leaf tea unstrained. Please don't put things on your menu if you don't even know what they are, much less how to make them.

came here this morning for breakfast, and wow! the food was incredible, the theme and layout of the place was beautiful and retro, and had a great vibe. coffee fresh and good. would recommend to anyone staying in New York. amazing!

Nice quaint place with friendly staff that wound up giving 2 free coffee refills without me realizing it because I was polite. Prices are very reasonable.

Really tasty Americano coffee. Stopped in here for a hot second just to grab something to drink but I'm really looking forward to popping in to do some writing. Very clean, non-cluttered space, really conducive to work. Light music playing in the background. Not overbearing like the music in Starbucks. Comfortable lounge space and a small modest bookcase of paperbacks available for reading. Looking forward to coming back. .

Great food, great coffee (even for europeans) and very kind staff. It was our place to go for breakfast and brunch during our stay in NYC. Must go if you're nearby. Pancakes and creppes are delicious :).

Arrived shortly after opening. Owner was pleasant but upon ordering, several things on the menu were not available…no steak, no orange juice, no mimosa’s, no Sangria (all of which were listed on the menu). On top of having to switch up on our order several times, we waited over an hour for omelettes. The first set were not cooked correctly, per the owner. Once we did receive the omelette’s, they were lukewarm, not hot. The owner never offered any discount or compensation for the experience. On top of all that, we noticed that we were double charged after looking at the transaction online. We were prompted to check right away because we were never given a price for the bill. We were asked for a form of payment and advised that everything was electronic, that’s it! I love to support small/new businesses but we have to at least be mindful of our customers experience and attempt to make up for the shortcomings, however we can. That can make a difference between a bad experience turned better and a customer that will never return or one who will give your establishment another chance.
