🛹 A Cafe With A Soundtrack

Mellow Yellow pairs a Manhattan coffee break with skateboard decor and Mediterranean daytime food. Art hangs on the walls, and the atmosphere has a musical streak, with an owner who occasionally sings along to whatever is playing. There is conversation alongside the soundtrack too. The owner chats with guests and remembers the orders of regulars, a personal touch that gives this First Avenue cafe its character.

Breakfast, brunch, and lunch all feature on the menu, with vegetarian options among the choices. The cafe opens daily at 8 AM and closes at a quarter to 5 PM. Keep that afternoon finish in mind when making room for a meal here.

Counter service sets the format at 1729 First Avenue. You can also take the full menu beyond the cafe through pickup and delivery, whether your day calls for eating at home or carrying lunch to another stop.
