I rebuke your $ 7.25 ham and Swiss on a croissant. Rebuke it! $ 7.25 for a piece of pressed meat, a slab of cheese, atop some bread?! Jesus be a fence.
And where, pray tell, am I supposed to fix up my coffee, since y’all don’t do it for customers? I was told to just do it at the register. Folks elbow to elbow pouring sugar into their coffee while trying to pay. And had the nerve to serve barely warm coffee. *blank stare*

Don’t come here if you can hold your hunger. It’s like 8 bucks for a small sandwich that is pre-​made. You can add condiments but otherwise it is already made. They have bagels and some other pastries. It’s located right by the Madison Square Garden sign entrance. I was in a rush to catch amtrak so I grabbed something… wrong move. I should have just got something from dunkin.
I got a turkey sandwich on multi-​grain bread (they didn’t have white bread)…it was super dry despite the mayo I put on. The cheese was kind of hard…
Go somewhere else if you can!

I like to stop a this location in penn station for their flagel. It’s a flattened out bagel. Their breads are off the charts. Located in pen station, don’t wait too late to stop before getting on your train as they don’t strap open real late.

Zaro’s locates itself strategically near commuter hubs to capitalize on hungry, hurried people with low standards.

Tolerable food at remotely reasonable prices in Penn Station. The turkey and swiss sandwich on a pretzel roll was fine, but u asked for it hot and got it too hot to hold one the outside and still cold at the center with barely melted cheese. The only redeeming factor was that there was plenty of turkey on it, so it’s likely to stick with you.
The coffee was in the same space: not bad per se, but a bit weak and a tad burnt. If it’d been at all later and anything else had been open outside Penn Station i would have gone there.

This is the only fresh and healthy option inside Penn Station. I’ll stop in for breakfast or a snack when I’m early for boarding. The bagels and pastries are very good. They have a small selection of breads, cupcakes, and cookies — great pick up gift options for the traveler without a lot of time their hands.

Pastries taste good. But I didn’t get my whole order. I was short a black and white in my bag. They don’t deal in pennies so if they owe you pennies you don’t get them. More money for them in the long run. I figure if you don’t deal with pennies then round up it round down the cost if your products.

This place deserves a solid three stars. Looking for a fresh «healthy» meal while traveling from train to train, this is a good place to go. Everything seems sanitary and the service was fast and friendly. Food was pretty tasty too. So why, you ask, only three stars? It’s a bit pricey and it seems like the heater is stuck in the ON position… it was uncomfortably hot and my lunch cost me close to $ 20… for a small portion of (delicious) food.
All in all, I would eat here again if circumstances provided.

i love the smell of their breads here! there is a great selection of pastries, baked goods, fresh breads, and sandwiches (made with fresh bread).
since this one is located in the rotunda of penn station, seating is very limited, but at least they do have some dedicated seating for customers (many food stands at penn station do not provide seating).
i ordered the spinach knish, since this is something i had to have in nyc before i left. they heated it up for me, which was great, b/​c it gave the pastry shell a slight toasted crunch. the spinach (and cheese?) filling inside was warm and delicious. well worth the $ 3.50.
i wish i could get knishes like this on the west coast!

Standard fare restaurant for those awaiting the train out. Had the curry chicken wrap and it was flavorful, a little sweet, but tastee nonetheless. Would recommend here rather than hitting a KFC or another chain place.

Coffee here is shit! But the turkey and Swiss croissant was great. The seating here is a bit crowded, but there are plenty of other places nearby to cop a squat.

Their bagel toaster takes an insane amount of time and doesn’t even really heat the bagel. They also just slap on a humongous slab of butter or cream cheese so that it’s completely unevenly distributed on the bagel. So you’ll have like an inch of cream cheese (no joke) on one end and like nothing on the other. The bagel’s are also fairly average, nothing to write home about.
However, this is Penn Station, and if you’re in a rush to get somewhere and you only have $ 3 and untoasted bagels don’t make you want to cry this is the place to be. Your bagel will be done in less than a minute. Hence, A-​OK.

Very decent bagels. I always get one when I am here at Penn Station. Its sort of like a tradition. LOL. I have spent many hours here killing time before my train or someone else’s train arrives or departs. I think it may be the only decent place in the «Rotunda.» It surprises me that Penn Station, located in the heart of NYC, has such limited options for food. I mean its either fast food, or fast food, or lets see donuts? It doesn’t showcase NYC at all. But if you need sustenance, then come here ;-)
