We are French, and were searching a quiet place with normal portions to have a break during our trip to Lower Manhattan. We were seduced by the quietness of this small and cosy restaurant. The decoration is antique-like and it is funny compared to the environment. The food is simple and cheap. The plates are not too big and, as they do not have french fries, the smell in the restaurant is not "oily" flavoured. A good address as to me.

We were wandering around looking for a place to grab a bite and stumbled across the Cosmopolitan Cafe. The food is absolutely amazing for cafe fare. The savory crepes were to die for. The burgers were described as "phenomonal" by a member of our group. The pancakes were delicious. Although the cafe is small, it was cozy and quaint. The prices were very reasonable (about $10 for a burger with a small salad and roast potatoes). I highly recommend this spot for a nice lunch.

I've been there twice now and both times were absolutely amazing! The crepes are out of this world delicious and the prices can NOT be beat almost anywhere in NYC let alone Tribeca! My husband ordered the fish entree and said it was like having a home-cooked meal - and he loves my cooking ; ) Definitely go!

This place was better when it was the Soda Shop, certainly friendlier. Now it has a corporate feel like the Starbucks around the corner. The pastries are brought in rather than baked on site, and the coffee is not good. What happened to the ice cream and candy??? The neighborhood has lost a gem.

Good food and service. A nice, affordable restaurant for a neighborhood in need of them.

this place used to be cute when it was calld The Soda Shop. It had a very nostalgic, 1950's candy shop feel to it. Now its filled wih dusty "antiques". The food is just ordinary, so avoid this place at all costs!
