Ruby AnayaJanuary 11, 2019Cute little sandwiches! Sopresatta, butter, and cornichons is great and prosciutto with tomato, pesto and mozzarella was just as good. Also awesome selection of macaroons.

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍March 31, 2022French Inspired gem hiding at 68th and Madison. This is the ultimate spot for an afternoon pick me up. Quite small but the variety of sandwiches & pasteries are wide and the coffee is rather excellent
Jen DMay 15, 2016The coffee is solid (Le Columbe) as are the mini cookies (3 for $1.75 - try the chocolate chip) and mini baguette sandwiches.
For an upgrade on the average grab-and-go tuna sandwich, try their poached salmon sandwich w cream cheese and cucumber. Don't forget a mini-palmier for after!
Derek FromsonDecember 27, 2013Cute little neighborhood gem with sandwiches, soups, salads, pastries and good coffee. Not to be missed for a quick bite or coffee/tea if you're nearby.
YuliaJune 10, 2015The goat cheese salad is delicious (though slightly pricey) - tomatoes,sweet potatoes, goat cheese nuts and craisins. Perfect lunch.
Czarinna AndresAugust 13, 2015Tuna panini, chocolate eclair and the perfect iced mocha make for a perfect mid afternoon snack after all that walking in nearby Central Park.
Janut SuchatoApril 15, 2022Great pastries selection. The Canare and financier are excellent. Sandwiches looks great too.

Mark CohenNovember 23, 2014Good sandwiches and quick bites or coffee when hitting Madison Ave shopping and in a hurry for something quick and easy.
Our go-to place for coffee and snacks on the UES. Nice pastries, baguette sandwiches, and macarons.
Sofia UzDecember 8, 2016Delicious and affordable place on UES, now thats two words you rarely hear in one sentence
Kyla-Emman NarvaezMay 6, 2014An amazing little find that isn't packed with tourists. Keep this place our little secret.

"The first time I saw Central Park, I wasn't impressed at all. The second time, it was covered in snow and I loved it. The ice skating rink, all the squirrels, the hills and the amazing views."
