Effy’s Café Locations
in Manhattan

Three Manhattan cafés, each with their own neighborhood charm. Effy’s brings a scratch-made, meatless Mediterranean menu to the Upper West Side, Columbus Avenue, and Yorkville. Since 2002, we have served New York City with fresh, kosher food made with the same attention to detail across every location.

The UWS and York Ave cafés offer the full all-day menu, while Columbus Ave is a lighter café and patisserie stop.
