It's very cozy and homey. But just remember to be courteous, that this is a business so it's okay to do work here but if you're gonna be chilling for a while make sure you're getting some drinks every hour or tipping the 'tender.

Most people here seemed to be working/studying despite it being 7pm on a Friday night --weird. So you order your food/drinks at the bar, which will then be brought out to you with a number you take for your table. I ordered the 2 Empanadas ($12) and a Spicy Mangorita ($15). For whatever reason, my friend's drink came before mine even though she ordered after me. Then both of our food took 40 minutes and only after we followed up after waiting for so long. We had empanadas and a salad, why would it take so long? They must've forgot (or playing hide and seek). We were also rushing to a show at the Warsaw afterwards, so we weren't sure if we were even going to have time after waiting so long. Anyways, that really deterred the mood. Maybe just stick to a cocktail only here.

The owner is Mauritanian, and the couscous reminded me of the ones I've eaten in the northern reaches of Senegal, with tender potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. I had been hoping for something closer to kosksi, but the dish was enjoyable nonetheless. We sat outside in the casually-laid out backyard while hearing songs blending French and Maghrebian Arabic emanating from inside. Barzakh also hosts events from outside the region, including qawwali nights and the like. It is a rare unique space in the neighborhood.

If you're on the hunt for a place that offers truly unique and unforgettable donut flavors, Fat Doughnut should be at the top of your list. One of their most exceptional creations is the maple donut, which stands out with its rich, syrupy sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture. It's a perfect balance of flavors that brings together the warmth of maple and the soft, doughy goodness of their perfectly crafted donuts. What makes Fat Doughnut even more special is the wide variety of other delectable donuts they offer, each one crafted with care and attention to detail. From classic favorites to bold, inventive flavors, every bite is a delightful surprise. Whether you're craving something sweet and indulgent or looking to try something new, the donuts at Fat Doughnut never disappoint. read more

The doughnuts here are always fresh and big! you know that they are hand made with home-made ingredients and do not contain any preservatives as the franchise businesses out there (Dunkin Donuts etc). We first tried their doughnuts with my husband and loved them so much, that each of us got a dozen for our co- workers. Our co-workers really enjoyed it,too! There was literally nothing left. The price tag is what you would expect from a gourmet doughnut shop, but honestly it's worth it given the size of those things. It's essentially like buying two doughnuts. They have smaller sizes, too, by the way, in case you can't tackle of them big boys. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are a doughnut lover! read more

Absolutely the best doughnuts I've ever tried. I've introduced so many friends to them and they agree. Waaaay better than other competitors in the neighborhood. They are family owned and made fresh on site in small batches every day and have over a dozen flavors! The doughnuts are huge and are the softest fluffiest doughnuts ever. If you're not in the mood for a doughnut, they have a bunch of other pastries, cookies and even coffee. Highly recommend!!! read more

Our box included: Ube, Cafe Au Lait, Strawberry, Blueberry Lemon w Oat Crumble, Glazed, and Chocolate. The Ube one was the only doughnut in the box that had a filling.

There were so many good options to choose from. Everything looked tasty but I let my inner child decide and she went with: -Lemon Oreo: It was love at first bite with palatable amounts of lemon zest and white chocolate chips -Green Velvet: Why have red velvet when you can have green velvet? -Pretty Pink: I love the name, color and the fact that it has a marshmallow filling. I'm getting 2 next time. An honorable mention goes out to the cheeseburger empanada with homemade chipotle mayo which was pleasantly delicious and made me feel better about eating my cookies so quickly.
