Description

Positioned near the New York Public Library, this cafe expands on its espresso menu with smoothies, juices, and lunch sandwiches. The kitchen turns out plates like feta and tomato scrambled eggs—though some note the portions run small—alongside warm, open-faced breakfast sandwiches. Drinks range from sugar-free options to a lavender oat milk latte, brought directly to your table by the staff. The atmosphere is unpretentious and efficient, offering a straightforward pitstop in a busy neighborhood.
