But a very good place to sit and people watch, with a glass of Alsace wine or coffee. Prices were reasonable compared to the other touristy restaurants. Service is slow but considering how much staff they have compared to customers, it is understandable.

We haven't found any other tea store (even in New York) with such an interesting selection of teas and such friendly, knowledgable staff. Try their herbal mixes. Also, it's a great place to order a cup of tea, sit back, and relax.

This is the place to try the ORIGINAL Black Forest cake…read more My friends and I ordered 2 coffees and 2 Black Forest cakes. The cake was moist, delicious, and packed a punch! You could really taste the cherry liqueur, and everything about the cake seemed so fresh! TIP: for sit-down, everyone must order at least one item off the menu or be charged a surcharge. Mmm mmm good!

Coffee is really nice at this place…read more Ground floor is mainly a coffee shop. You can buy grounded coffee or just the beans if you want. They have a nice selection of coffee makers as well. If you just want to seat and have a coffee, go upstairs! there is a lot of space. I like this place because they have a large choice of original beans and flavored drinks.

Sadly, the quality of the 'dark brew' ain't what it could be (read: extremely bitter espresso drinks) and that's a shame given how centrally located and charmingly laid out this place is. I'm a sucker for coffee sack-lined walls, funky old light fixtures and solid wood 'steh cafe' tables. To complete a place, however, one needs great product. That's where, at least java-wise, this place falls short of the mark. Props to the young gal who served us. She was so very nice. I'd like to pay for her to go to barista training school. Having said that, it could be a case of not having the best machines to work with, or, at the very least, not having them in the best working order.
