Best WLM Reviews

Lovely place for breakfast in Madison Avenue! Their coffee is super delicious and always freshly brewed! I love the hazelnut coffee ☕️ as it always has amazing after taste. The place is great for families with children as there’re many options for different breakfast preferences!
There is a station for freshly made sandwiches where you can get egg sandwiches
A station for prepared hot food, fruits, vegetables, oatmeal and a juicing bar. If you are there don’t miss trying their peanut butter wraps!
We came here when visiting NYC 5 years ago so made a special trip back there. Huge range of items to choose from and you pay by weight, great healthy options, very busy and seems to be popular with local workers. My photo is my mix of guacamole, fish, sesame chicken, cauliflower, broccoli
Super expensive place and food is tasteless!!
The Cashier’s give you attitude while paying for the food!
Never Coming again anymore!
-3/10 experience
Spend over 40$ for a small plate of food, and tasteless!
With that money you can go to a fine dine Restaurant and eat food 100 better and tastier!
Nice place! I absolutely recomend it.
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR RECEIPT and ask for the cashier to show you the monitor! This morning the cashier gave herself her own tip!And then canceled the option for me to see the receipt. She NEVER turned the monitor towards me either. I was in a rush and didn’t realize until I left but I think so rude and deceitful. If she did it to me she probably does it all the time.
This place is like a canteen. Nice, spacious, clean and neat and of course you need the vaccine card to stay in. They have many different kinds of food that you can choose Western and Asian as well. And I love the Smoothies Corner my favorites are Cucumber Protein (Juice) and Funky Monkey (Smothie). Their dumplings and shiumai are must try!
I finally want to get this off my chest lol. A couple of years ago, I don't know which Essen location, an employee took my younger sister's 20 dollar bill and claimed it counterfeit and kept it. She was new to NYC and let the employee do it. I'm still mad thinking about it. It was just an old 20 dollar bill. Train your employees to call the cops and report it. It would have been returned to my sister.
Nice place and location but very pricey. The pancakes were also kind of cold and the strawberry were solid.
