Description
Located on W 40th St near Bryant Park, the café pairs its baking with light meals and coffee. The menu features specialty treats like rye chocolate chip cookies and the Gateau Marcel, a rich but light chocolate cake. Reviewers often point to the sourdough, which is flavorful enough to eat plain without butter or spreads. While the room is regularly bustling with people, the atmosphere remains welcoming and friendly rather than overwhelming.
