Popular, independent outpost featuring espresso, pastries & other treats in a compact, warm setting.
From Google Maps reviews.
Nice discovery on our walk to financial district. We got a quick espresso and it was well done. We loved the seating options outside and we enjoyed some time with the good weather. The inside was nice and cozy. Service was great too.
I've seen this place 100 times and always admired the scooter in the front window & today I finally went in. Cute small bakery with bar stool indoor seating. Fresh baked pastries and sandwiches, hot & coffee and hot & cold tea. I had a blueberry muffin and a large coffee. Sat at the window looking out at University Place while I ate and enjoyed a New York City moment. The staff was friendly and service very fast. Great experience! 10/10
Great for a coffee, but you’ll likely be getting it to go. There are 2 tables and a window counter; however, this is less a sit and sip and more of a takeaway (unless you’re timing is fortunate) Coffee is definitely good, and makes for a great pickup if you’re heading to, or from, Washington Square. Don’t forget the Madman bakery just down the street!
