      I love their tartines (open-faced sandwiches). My favorite is the proscuitto and buffalo mozzarella. Am also a fan of their gazpacho, Belgian brownie, and lemonade.

            Their shrimp and avocado salad, which is nice and hefty. And every kind of bread, jam they have available.

              I love the in house latte cups which don't have handles. The cups have pedastels and you cup your hands to sip them. They are tasty too! I also love the hazelnut-praline (?) spread of deliciousness which is on every table. It's good on the bread and by itself (not that I eat it long after the bread is gone....)

                My favorite thing from them, is the Belgian brownie. It's perfectly moist.

                  I agree the Belgian Brownie is great, in my opinion one of the best chocolate things in the city. (wash it down with a chocolate shake from City Bakery!)

                      Agreed, gazpacho is divine. Also love their banana chocolate chip muffins.

                        their gazpacho is by far some of the best around. the only other kind i had that was on par was at Gordon Ramsay at the London Hotel. I did the tasting menu which started of with an amuse bouche that was a watermelon gazpacho. AMAZING.

                        I love the hummus/blk bean sandwich, the croissants, and the iced mint tea but everything that I've had there has been good.

                          I love their walnut raisin flutes and I really like the crispy, sugary waffles.
