Ciao, Gloria

Baker Renato Poliafito, formerly of Red Hook's Baked, draws on his Italian-American heritage to anchor the menu. Traditional biscotti, amaretti, and crostata share the counter with American classics like cinnamon rolls and layer cakes. The vibrant, well-lit space offers large tables and ample seating, making it a comfortable spot for weekday remote work. However, the setup shifts on weekends, when the cafe enforces a no-laptop policy.
