Sun–Sat: 8 AM – 9 PM
Yorkville in Manhattan holds onto its busy city charm, and Effy’s is a neighborhood café built for that atmosphere, with food made from scratch and a menu shaped by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern comforts. The York Ave café is rooted in the Upper East Side, close to the park and to the river. Yorkville has long been known as one of Manhattan’s more residential, family-oriented neighborhoods, and Effy’s fits naturally into that rhythm as a dependable spot for a weekday breakfast on the way to work, or a slower weekend brunch with the neighborhood’s regulars.
Effy’s serves a 100% meatless menu. No meat is prepared in the kitchen, but the menu does include fish and dairy. You’ll find vegetarian dishes, including vegan, plant-based options. Food is prepared daily from fresh ingredients and includes popular favorites like shakshuka, smoked fish, and falafel options.
Effy’s on York Ave is kosher certified and dairy, with IKC supervision. If you’re after a completely kosher café in NYC, the certificate is available to view before you visit.
