Hutch and Waldo

I hadn’t had a burrito from this spot in over a year, and I was genuinely excited to try it again today. Sadly, things seem to have changed—and not for the better. Right from the start, I noticed that this burrito didn’t hold its shape at all, and it was loaded with an excessive amount of salsa that created a total mess inside. The few beans and unexpected addition of corn felt out of place, especially since I used to love the potato they added, which really made it something special. While they used to serve salsa on the side, this time, there was no need (or space) for extra—it was practically swimming in salsa on the inside. The quality has definitely declined, and unfortunately, it just doesn’t meet the standard it once did.

Nice spot in New York for quick breakfast/lunch. Coffee is nice, and the avocado toast was delicious. Service is a bit slow. They do not warm/heat pastries if you ask for it, which is a shame for the monkey bread. It would taste better warm.

Used to love this place and get a breakfast burrito 3 times a week. They changed their recipe and started baking the eggs…the consistency is off putting to say the least. And the tots have also changed. Sad to see quality drop in favor of improving margins.

I just went there like 5 minutes ago (1/16/25 at 12:30pm) Coffee was great and the place is nice but their customer service sucks; the lady at the register was super rude and had a horrible attitude. This totally ruined my experience. Not trying to be a hater; just saying that people with poor customer service skills should not be in the front of the house.

My favorite place in UES, I am obsessed with the menu. Also, love the vibe. I got this breakfast, so delicious and everything tastes fresh. SUGGESTED!

The next time you purchase packaging for drinks you should consider riding a bicycle and taking some deliveries from your place first see how it goes 😅 Just because you see other businesses on the platform selling things doesn't mean you can do it too. Other people know how to pack their stuff and not make it spill this is including coffees hot coffees. You guys can't figure it out. The employees at your store told me that you won't budge You're very stubborn about your packaging. They beg us to be careful with the cups there's nothing we can do the bag is sealed The coffee's jiggling around inside the bag.

I come here for takeout a lot and usually it’s pretty good, although not always consistently good. Today I came later in the day and you could tell I was given tater tots that were not fresh, they were pretty stale when I ate them, and I got a sandwich where the eggs were cold. I was pretty disappointed by the clear lack of effort for freshly made food.

As a reviewer, I have to say, this place is truly a hidden gem. If you manage to find it, consider yourself lucky—you’ve hit gold! Hutch and Waldo is a charming little spot that makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. The customer service here is top-notch, a solid five stars. The staff are attentive, friendly, and create a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. One of the things that really sets this place apart is the freedom you have to enjoy it however you like. You can have meaningful conversations without the weight of today’s politics looming over you, or you can choose to sit quietly, get lost in a book, and let your mind wander. It’s the perfect place whether you’re feeling social or if you just want a bit of peaceful solitude. When it comes to kid-friendliness, Hutch and Waldo maintains a laid-back, relaxed vibe that’s suitable for families. While it’s more of a spot for quiet enjoyment, it’s not unwelcoming to kids, so you can feel comfortable bringing them along if needed. No matter what kind of day you're having, you'll find your spot here when you walk through these doors. Trust me—let them know you heard about it here, and you won't be disappointed.
