Sarabeth’s: (Another) Review

June 15, 2014 by anc49

Yup—I’m back at my favorite brunch spot in Manhattan: Sarabeth’s. What’s that old phrase? All roads lead to… Sarabeth’s? Probably not, but it should be. Anyway, my friend and I met up at Sarabeth’s for brunch yesterday because she had never been and I’ll gladly convert anyone to that magical place. Surprisingly, I branched out and ordered a new breakfast item! So here’s the scoop. Name: Sarabeth’s Location: 40 Central Park South Time: 11 am on a Saturday Order: Skim latte ($4.50) […]

Eurobread & Café: A Review

April 18, 2014 by anc49

My mom has been raving about the “cutest little authentic French café” back home for the longest time so I knew I would try it out when I went back home for spring break. She bragged about the divine pastries and lovely espresso drinks so I figured I’d give it a shot because when do I ever say no to anything related to France? Funny story, actually. It turns out that I had passed this cafe once before because I […]

PAUL: A Second Review

February 17, 2014 by anc49

Before I begin my praise for PAUL’s pastries and this apple tart’s splendor, I will apologize for my recent paucity of posts. It’s midterm season here at Georgetown and my studying has demanded more time than I’d like to spend. The good news is that I’m returning with a review of ONE OF THE BEST TARTS I HAVE EVER CONSUMED. MY, OH MY. My last review of PAUL covered a bisque and a croissant, which were both delicious, but this one […]

Ceci-Cela: A Review

August 7, 2013 by anc49

Right around the corner from my place, Ceci-Cela is a lovely French café and pâtisserie. Since I have been in SoHo, I have gone there a handful of times. My editor is a big fan as well. This quaint and charming café showcases a wide array of delectable, tempting French pastries in its window. When you walk in, you’re greeted by friendly baristas, adorable signs, romantic Parisian songs and even more scrumptious sweets. There’s also a seating area in the […]

Housing Works Café: A Review

August 6, 2013 by anc49

Now here’s a café with a cause: Housing Works. Housing Works is actually a non-profit organization with twelve thrift shops and one bookstore cafe. Dedicated to the fight against AIDS and homelessness, the charity directly benefits New Yorkers living with these two conditions. On a typical Yelp search for touristy yet local coffee shops, I discovered this gem. It wasn’t until I sat at a table and checked my surroundings that I became aware of the story behind it. Luckily, […]

Aroma Espresso Bar: A Review

August 5, 2013 by anc49

As a switch from my typical SoHo Coffee Pot morning latte, my editor once recommended Aroma Espresso. If she didn’t come in with Dean & DeLuca, she usually brought Aroma Espresso, so I surmised that it was fairly reliable. Although I did enjoy SoHo Coffee Pot because it was right downstairs and well-prepared, I wanted a change of scenery. As fate would have it, SoHo Coffee Pot closed temporarily due to pipe issues. It was time to venture to a […]

Le Petit Café: A Review

July 24, 2013 by anc49

Photo Credit: Yelp On my way to work this morning, I had a few minutes to spare and a lot of energy to garner. Because of my limited remaining time in Manhattan, I decided to try a new place for my morning latte. Disclaimer: I am addicted to iced lattes. I know, I know. It dehydrates you, can get pricey and isn’t a totally salubrious breakfast. When I started out as a barista, I never drank any caffeine because I […]
