Morningside Cafe
Morningside Cafe serves bold, park-side flavor in the heart of the Bronx. Our signature Cajun Seafood Boil features wild-caught crab, shrimp, mussels, and corn simmered in zesty herbs and spices--finished with butter, lemon, and house crab seasoning. We also serve grass-fed burgers, veggie burgers, and hot dogs, plus protein-packed bowls with Cajun shrimp or crispy chicken. Don't miss sides like Crabman Mac & Cheese, fries, and broccoli. Cool down with smoothies, coconut water, soda, or local beer and cider. With fast service and open-air seating, this is street food done right--fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable.

βI've been eating Crabman Mike's food from its inception on 125th street in Harlem and I'm so excited to see him bring his amazing food to a brick and mortar in Morningside Park! All these years later the food and flavor do not disappoint and are even better than what I remembered! Whether you are in the neighborhood or traveling in to experience the Cajun flavors...the food is well worth it and the service was great! He's brought a gem to the neighborhood that's worth exploring! I had the blue crabs and peel and eat shrimp with corn on the cob and potatoes. It was delicious down to the last bite! Can't wait to return for more!β

β10/10 the food was amazing, prices were great. It was clean and we got cool bibs to keep us clean. They even showed us how to properly open up the crabs which was super nice because we were struggling. But again food was 10/10 and the staff is also 10/10.β

βMorningside Magic! If cozy charm and top-tier got together to open up a parkside eatery, it would be Morningside Cafe!! From the moment you walk in, you're wrapped in the scent of fresh seafood deliciousness. The hot dogs are yummy good too!! The proprietor Crabman Mike is friendly and lightning-fast. Perfect for lazy Sundays, power-through Mondays, or anytime you need a bite of pure happiness. Morningside Cafe is my new happy place!β
