Pavé

A 10/10 study or work cafe in Midtown area: good pastries, decent coffee, ample seating, clean restroom, and free wifi. It gets busier on weekdays afternoon, but it's still easy to secure a table.

＊Mushroom Potato Foccacia
They heated up the foccacia for me, giving it the soft and chewy texture. The bottom didn't soak in oil like sometimes the other foccacia does.

＊Matcha Scone
The matcha scone was studded with white chocolate chips. The two flavor complemented each other pretty well even I am not a fan of white choc. The matcha was distinguishable but on the milder side. It was baked with crispy edges.

＊Latte
Smooth and silky milk foam with beautiful latte art. It created a great chemistry with the nutty espresso base.

Excellent cafe to sit down and take a break. There are many seats in the back and the wifi is reliable. The staff is very friendly. I only had a quick cold brew and a banana bread slice as a snack, but did enjoy them both. Would come back to try the other interesting food options.

Pavé is a little oasis tucked into the chaos of Midtown Manhattan. Outside, it’s the usual New York symphony of honking cars, jostling pedestrians and never ending construction. But step through the mint-green doors, and it’s a completely different world: calm classical music, warm lighting, and the gentle scent of freshly baked bread.

Service is fast and surprisingly well-coordinated for a busy shop—orders are taken and served quickly, and there’s even table service, which adds a touch of hospitality rare in this part of town. I tried the smoked salmon sandwich: the fish was indeed salty (as expected), but the baguette had a great chew without being tough, and the green-onion cream cheese was wonderfully rich and flavorful. Cappuccino was above average—smooth and satisfying.

Bonus points for selling SEY coffee beans and for a quirky little detail: you have to solve a mini puzzle to get the wifi password. Thoughtful touches like that, combined with quality food and a serene atmosphere, make Pavé a lovely Midtown stop.

Beautiful place for coffee and food!!! Great place to get work done (wifi, outlets that also accommodate usbs, sturdy tables, and incredibly clean + airy) — wonderful spot, definitely coming back!!

Great cafe with a yummy chocolate chip cookie and plenty of seating and wifi.

The peach brioche is insane.

Great place to work as well -- lots of outlets + good wifi

The country pate sandwich is unbelievable—buttery, umami, perfect bread. Coffee also delicious. Space is good for a quick journaling break/working.

I had extra time before a Broadway show so stopped in here to get a coffee and sit for a bit. I was delightfully surprised by the entire experience given the proximity of this place to the madness of Times Square. Service was really kind, space was clean and expansive, coffee was very good! There were people working quietly on laptops and plenty of seating for more folks to join.

Not the best cafe I've been to in terms of food and ambiance, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars. Nothing bad about it. I got a Vanilla Iced Latte, which was too milky to enjoy. The plain croissant was good. Expensive but typical New York prices.
In terms of working, there is pretty much one outlet per table and reliable wifi. My friends and I were here for a couple hours to work, and they didn't rush us out at any point which was great.
Wouldn't come back here though because of the mediocre food.

Lots of people on laptops. A little difficult to find a table, but good food and great people working.

perfect cafe to work in midtown 〰️ this cafe is HUGE, meaning there are tons of seats. free wifi, great coffee, variety of food and pastry, with clean restroom. they charge $1 for plant milk tho. a bit of a bummer but may be it’s part of this economy now?

Super cute place! Lots of people working, chatting and just enjoying the vibe. Food was delicious! So was coffee. Will be coming back for sure!

Great atmosphere for working on your computer, its calm and quiet! Perfect getaway from the busy streets for some work! Make sure to try their salads as well!
