I've been a customer since 1975, but after the bad experience I had there on December 14, I won't be returning. I was waiting in the very long (at least 10 minute wait) line to order a sandwich. A staff person came by to take orders. When she came to me, I was standing too far away from the menu board to read the menu. She handed me a paper menu and proceeded to take orders from the aproximately eight people behind me. After she finished taking their orders, I asked if she would please take my order, but she refused and walked away. When I arrived at the counter, I asked her again to please take my order, but she told me I would need to order at the cash register because she was done taking orders. Finally, I arrived at the cash register and gave my order to the guy at the cash register. He informed me that I would need to wait another 15 minutes. At this point, I had enough and said "no thanks." As I turned to walk away, the guy said "Thank YOU for your PATIENCE." I wrote an e-mail to the Grand Central website describing my experience, but have not received any response.
Pros: food is good.
Cons: nasty staff.

This is one of my favorite places for lunch in the whole city... the soups are always tasty and a meal with a soup, side salad (get the viniagrette) and lots of bread is extremely reasonably-priced. If you're there on a day when there's mushroom soup to be had, you're a lucky individual because it's completely delicious. There's a whole case of baked goods, all tempting, but the cinnamon rolls are some of the best in the city, very bread-based, which I like, and don't have frosting to hide behind, just a tasty sugary glaze. The cookies are always highly touted but I've found them to be a bit dry--I'm the moist cookie type.
Pros: Delcious food, good place for lunch, MUSHROOM SOUP
Cons: Often a line during lunch that can take a while

Their sandwiches are really yummy! ...only if you like hard, crusty bread like I do. The pastries are good too. They are fresh. Their mushroom soup is definitely one of the best. This place is a great quick stop for breakfast & lunch & brunch.

Even though we arrived around 10:30 am, the pastries were still great. They fresh bake them on site, so the earlier the better. I had a raspberry muffin that was great, but I imagine it was heavenly around 7:45am when the rasprberries were still warm :). The coffee is Cafe Vita which is definitely par for the course. Great little morning pitstop. I will return.
Pros: Quick, Fresh, Selection

The clam chowder is consistently rich and creamy, chalk full of clams and red potatoes. I also love the cream of mushroom with freash rosemary.
