★★★★★ 5.0 Francisco Simón Verger · Sep 2025

Café Gitane in SoHo is a charming spot that blends French and Moroccan flavors in a unique and cozy setting. It has that neighborhood feel, tucked away but very much a local favorite. The service is warm and attentive, which adds to the overall experience. We tried the Chicken Parmesan sandwich, which was excellent — flavorful, hearty, and well balanced. The hamburger was just okay, not bad but nothing particularly special compared to other options in the area. The atmosphere is quite lively and on the louder side, with the space itself being relatively small, so don’t expect a quiet or spacious dining experience. That said, it’s part of the charm: it feels authentic, bustling, and very local. Overall, Café Gitane is a great stop if you’re in SoHo and looking for a casual place with cha

Had a nice meal at Cafe Gitane. I tried the baked eggs with tomato, which had a pleasant, light taste and were really good. My friend ordered the couscous and enjoyed that as well. Overall, a positive experience!

I had a terrible experience here. It was honestly some of the worst service I’ve ever received. The staff were extremely rude, and the servers kept hovering as if they wanted us to leave. We were rushed so much that I didn’t even feel comfortable ordering anything beyond a drink. The whole vibe was off. My friends and I left feeling disappointed and pushed out, and we had only come for coffee and breakfast. I would not recommend this place.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Kathy D · Dec 2022

Stumbled upon this place and had breakfast. Very cool old school restaurant. Service was great and most of our food was amazing. Baked feta was pungent in the best way. Hummus was light and tasty. Overall we loved what we had to eat only dish that wasn’t a hit was the meatballs and rice, it was very under seasoned. All else was great and we will definitely return.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Nicolás Pagliaro · Feb 2025

The place is old style. Good tables and good atmosphere The coffee isn’t the best but I think that the place and history makes it a place you wanna be and visit again. You can not bring your laptop here and that is so cool. The only downside is that you leave smelling like fried food and smoke.
