Came for a very early Saturday brunch with a dear friend. Food is good and decent prices! I ordered the Truffle eggs benedict ($18) and split the blueberry ricotta pancakes ($11) with him. The pancakes were a bit small in portion size and felt a bit cold when I received it, but absolutely devoured the truffle eggs benedict. The side of mushrooms and the umami richness complemented the hollandaise sauce very well. Please note that the seating is pretty limited and they don't take reservations, so great to show up early. It was a really clean cafe, and the service was quick and friendly. I would definitely come back for the Benedict again! They had a crofffle that also looked super good, and is something i'd try next time.

Quaint ambiance with great food. I had the iced matcha and my first croffle. Highly recommend the croffle. Also the smoked salmon truffle benedict was delicious.

Love this spot for breakfast and coffee! Their croffles are to die for, and they have a pretty decent breakfast menu. Coffee and matcha is solid too, especially enjoyed the butterscotch latte. Interior is cozy and they have some outdoor seating too

I love Frame. The coffee and food are delicious. I wish I could come more often, but they have a small area, and getting a spot is hard. The croffles are tasty, and they use Coffee Project NY beans for espresso drinks, which makes me love it even more!

Frame is a cozy coffee spot on the UES. The ambiance is unique with cameras adorning the walls, adding a touch of intrigue. Their coffee and tea selection is top-notch, satisfying even the most discerning of palates. But what truly sets Frame apart is their delectable salad that I always get when I am there which is called the Quino Scrambled Bowel. This is a must try because it has one of the best dressings I've ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned, they're a delightful surprise in a coffee shop. Thanks to the staff who is always welcoming you with a smile. I love going there for some computer work, a cappuccino and my favorite salad! Frame is a must-visit for anyone seeking a cozy atmosphere, excellent brews, and a satisfying salad fix and pastries! PS - they also reserve wine and beer if you're in the happy hour mood along with your delicious coffee.

I wish I knew about this place earlier!! I was looking for a quick brunch spot and stumbled upon this place. The truffle egg benedict was very tasty! Both eggs were poached nicely with a runny but not overly raw yolk. The muffins were toasted and crunchy on top, but not too hard or difficult to cut (iykyk). The truffle hollandaise sauce added an appropriate amount of truffle flavor without it being too overwhelming. The ratio of egg to salmon/veggie to muffin was perf! The prosciutto egg scramble was also tasty! The eggs were creamy, cheesy, and well-seasoned. The croffle was somewhat crispy on the outside with decently fluffy croissant layers on the inside. I would have enjoyed it more if it was warmer/ more toasted. Portion size was good for me, but a little small for my boyfriend. The butterscotch latte had a nice mix of espresso and sweet caramel-y butterscotch flavor. Would want to go back to try the Thai coffee, Es Yen! The place itself is very cute with a minimalistic aesthetic along with plants and a wall of cameras. Some indoor tables are available and a couple outdoor; probably can't accommodate larger groups. They also don't allow laptops on the weekends. Food came out pretty quick. I'm glad to have discovered a solid brunch option on the UES!

Frame is a wonderful, cozy coffee shop near Up Thai on 2nd Avenue, Upper East Side. The most interesting aspect of the shop is its ambiance. The vine leaves on exterior signage with delicate writing and rustic interiors made me feel comfortable, secure, and ready to write. Frame offers its own brunch menu which is delightful to see, adding to its charm. I'm eager to try the truffle egg's Benedict and their pancakes! I ordered an Americano with oatmilk which was surprisingly strong. While I'm happy they prepared my drink, the lid was not securely fastened and the coffee kept dripping on me. It's a forgiving issue though. Even though I love the coziness of this coffee shop, it was a little too compact sitting on the bench near the wall. They are also pretty strict about not bringing in outside food, so keep that in mind. Overall, lovely place and I'm excited to come back!

Came to Frame for coffee with a friend and I liked it so much I came back the next day for brunch. Had hot americanos with a splash of oat milk both times and they were both exceptional hot americanos with a splash of oat milk! I got the prosciutto scrambled for brunch and it was sooooo delicious. The eggs are light and fluffy and it's fun to make little bites with the salty prosciutto, heaps of Parmesan, and the sweet croffle. Excellent breakfast. I really want to try some other items, like their quinoa bowl or eggs Benedict! My friend and I hung out here and did some laptop work for a bit after eating, and it was a pleasant environment! The store is a bit small but we didn't have trouble finding a table. Also got a matcha latte later on and it was okay.

Cute interior - had a wall of film cameras! The yogurt bowl was made beautifully and had a whipped yogurt consistency. I liked the assortment of fruit and the granola had a crunch to the bowl. The matcha espresso wasn't my favorite. Couldn't really taste the espresso and the matcha seemed a bit watered down, potentially a bit too much milk in the latte. I do have to applaud for their size. This was well worth the $7. Service was pretty quick and cashier was friendly, nothing stand out and nothing to complain about.
