Description
Located on a corner of Lexington Avenue, this cafe draws visitors with its cute aesthetic and friendly staff. The pastry counter features options like cheddar chive biscuits and pain au chocolat alongside raspberry and passion fruit tarts, though some items like the vegan blueberry muffin can be excessively sweet. While it is a popular neighborhood stop, some visitors note inconsistencies in coffee quality. On sunny days, the space gets busy quickly, meaning you might have to wait for a spot at the outdoor tables or the small seating area inside.
