    Yummm... Truffle oil popcorn.  Yes, it can be a bit much and a bit rich and it might just make you cough because of that, but still.... yummm...

    The food is pricey, but you you expect that because you're eating at a high end clothing store.

    I think it's good for a quick meal. It's seldom crowded.

    The portions here are small and cost about double what they should cost.  Even soda for $3.75.  We had the Lobster Rolls with String Potatoes ($14), which were two small not so fresh rolls.  The cupcakes here are super dry, I highly recommend avoiding them.  A crappy cupcake for $5.50.  But, we simply had to order a cupcake, since it was the only sweet item on the menu.

    Our waiter was more interested in himself than he was the customers.  When your ego is that large and you think you are a movie star, then maybe you should not be waiting tables.  He was not even cute, it was tragic.

    Seriously, all of the stars I am giving this place are for the ambiance and that is just a nice place to rest while shopping.

    This is the perfect place to recharge after a day full of shopping on Fifth Avenue and sight seeing.  For me it was more shopping than sight seeing.  

    My friend and I sat at the bar and looked out on the tree at Rockefeller Center.  It was amazing.

    We both had diet cokes (which were in the most adorable metal coke bottles) and shared the truffle grilled cheese sandwich with shoe string fries.  The portion was a bit small and the price was a little high ($13) so next time I know to order my own.  I should have order two right off the bat since it had "truffle" in the description.  My bad.

    Good for a quick bite while shopping on 5th Ave.

    The best part about this place is the super overpriced frozen yogurt ($5-$7). It's made fresh and the flavors are made in house and very good. I love the blueberry!

    The free truffle popcorn they give you is dry and disgusting. The truffle oil is hit or miss. Unless you're starving, I would pass.

    The food is not horrible, but unless you get a salad, the portions are incredibly small. True snacks. The tiny bottles of soda are $3, but they have yummy Voss water. The cupcakes are $6 and are good, unless they've been sitting in the shelf for days, then they can be dry. If you have a little bit more time and money, I would recommend going to Cafe SFA on the 8th floor.

    I love the bright white space and the comfy Knoll pfister chairs. The truffle oil popcorn was a welcomed start. I ordered the chicken salad snaker which included four tiny sandwich halves: toasted cranberry raisin bread and the chicken salad (walnuts, grapes and very little mayo) was wonderful. The potato salad was delicious as well. The perfect ladies lunch!

    Cafe SFA was closed, but SnAKS was a nice alternative. The portions are small, but the dishes are tasty, such as the truffle grilled cheese sandwich or the shrimp sandwich. Service was very good, and so was the tasty bottle of bubbly, which definiet;ly enhances the shopping experience. Good red velvet cupcakes to round it off.

    The yogurt here was so refreshing.  It was topped with coconut and hit the spot after a long day of walking and shopping.  I had a very cute waiter named Blake, who was very attentive and nice to stare at.
