I was meeting a friend here for light lunch & desserts. Having walked by her numerous times, we…read moredecided to give them a try. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the counter to sit at any table inside or out and a server will help us. The inside is quaint with ample tables and chairs, with display of a commercial professional espresso machine and display of some of their pastries. Decided on outside, we found a table with two chairs and waited for service. Very quickly a young woman greeted us and while we looked at the menu, brought us water with lemon at our request. We end up ordering first two sandwiches, one with prosciutto and the other caprese. We waited to order our coffee drinks and parties afterwards. The sandwiches came quickly and to our surprise the sandwich was warmed which my preference and both were served on ciabatta-like buns that's had textures of foccacia. We loved both sandwiches. We then ordered the Italian donuts with Nutella and the cookies horn with light lemon crème as well as a cortado and latte. Pastries were also warmed and overall satisfied with our choices. I would come back here as I'm in the neighborhood often. Great place to meet a friend with reasonable prices and quality food.

My friend saw this place as a recommend place for hot chocolate so we decided to stop by on a…read moreThursday night. The place itself is super cute and very cozy. The menu is fairly on the basic side - mainly drinks and pastries and there is some sandwiches. We decided to get the hot chocolate with whip cream (the whip cream is very needed). It was very rich, thick and delicious and not "too sweet." The whip cream really makes it more creamy and it does not really add to the sweetness which was good. We also got a side of Salame e Formaggio which I would recommend passing on because the cheese was kind of hard and not that great. The salami was good and honestly I'm not a fan of olives but my friend who liked it enjoyed them. Overall - a cute place to stop by for a hot chocolate and maybe a pastry!

I have been searching for a good lunch spot around the Harlem area (specifically 102nd street) and…read morewhile there are indeed suitable places, options are limited, sometimes rather pricey, and a bit of trek away for someone who would rather pick up something quickly nearby and eat back at the office. This is one of those kinds of places that you need to hear about and be looking for so that you can actually be able to find it- it's actually inside another building and tucked away to the right immediately as you walk in, and it's pretty much exactly on the corner of 103rd and 5th Avenue (hence the branding.) They have daily specials, as well as some basic breakfast sandwiches/pastries drinks, and there are definitely some healthy options, which can be hard to find in the area. It's a nice and quiet space to eat in with a very welcoming and kind staff, but they also make it very easy for you to take your food elsewhere to eat it if that may be necessary. The first time I ate there, the daily hot meal was a NY strip steak with asparagus and potato puffs, which I was skeptical about at first but ended up being ridiculously delicious for a very low price (all the daily specials- a sandwich, a salad, or a hot meal- are under $8!) I have been frequenting there and there is always something you will be able to eat, regardless of your personal preferences in food. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quick, affordable, and tasty bite to eat.

When I visited on a Friday afternoon, there was only one staff person working - one person taking orders, making coffees, and making sandwiches. This meant a bit of a wait.

Instead, I got an elaborate beautiful presentation with fruit, pecans, and syrup. A lovely surprise! The banana bread was crispy on the sides and fluffy in the middle. Paired with everything on the plate, it felt more akin to French toast. A solid dish. I also got an iced latte with oat milk which was excellent.
