They brought out the kids food right away to make sure that they would be eating which shows that they really cater to a lot of families. Because if your parent and your kid is hungry, you know how that time bomb can take away before there's an explosion. Waitress was so lovely. The lattes are yummy. The food is excellent. The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was the vegetarian sausage, but I'm not a vegetarian and I like my sausage a little old school. However, my wife very much enjoyed it. Highly recommend the salmon omelette!

I wish they had some more non-sugar, non-milk drinks - like just plain herbal tea etc - but you can't have everything. But there are always some issues. They're always out of napkins; the bathroom lock situation is tenuous; the hand dryer is broken (and there are no towels); and so on. If this place was better at maintaining a comfortable environment, it would be amazing. I hope it gets better at the basics of running a coffee shop, but I'm on the search for other places nearby.

Got there around 1 PM on a weekday, they were just starting to run out with some items. The pastries were very fresh & delicious in a comforting way. Got a Cardamom Bun (mild flavor, with light layer of apricot jam in the layers) & the Sacher Torte (Excellent! Austrian hazelnut flour torte, raspberry jam). I'm not familiar with a lot of the items & wish they were labeled. Would have ordered more. The cafe was *very crowded & kind of loud. The ambiance didn't seem enjoyable compared to the calm UWS streets. The outdoor tables looked calmer even though a short line blocked the front of it. There's only a line because the counter is close to the front door and little space to wait. The 2-3 counter staff was very nice & patiently answered questions (labeled & priced pastries - with ingredients/nut disclaimer still would have helped & move the line along) . Took the treats to the community garden on the corner. Keep exploring NYC y'all!
