Description

This Lincoln Square spot operates as a no-frills, all-day cafe, supplying the neighborhood with quick meals alongside its baked goods. The counter offers savory lunch options like a smoked salmon baguette with tomato and onion, plus salads, dips, and well-made cortados. Beyond the sweet pastries, look for the Pizza Bureka—a flaky pastry loaded with spicy tomato, mozzarella, and pizza seasoning—and highly rated almond croissants.
