    The coffee is normal illy coffee but the setting is very contemporary and love the complimentary chocolate different everyday. Good place to have a coffee and chill before going back to work.

    This place is the perfect, elegant Park Avenue coffee shop. Their chocolate selection is amazing! The latte I was served was exquisite - one of my favorite coffee shops in the world!

    Quality coffee (illy..very popular outside of US..def missed it!!) in a very elegant and modern venue. Love it's not crowded. Just a bit too chilly feeling like a freezer in there.

    This place has everything a chocolate lover could ask for. A fresh selection of treats coupled with walls and walls of an insane variety of packaged goods. Plus the hot chocolate is basically crack.

    Decent coffee and great choice of chocolate. Their coffee is not bad but can't be compared to Zibetto around the corner. Seats to be found upstairs.

    They cheated on prices both coffee and food. They would tell you if you stay the price of food and coffee will be more expensive after charged you and with no explanation. And I will stop coming.
