Looking for a cute place for tea? Check out Macaron Café. Known for, of course, the French cookie, the macaroons at
this cafe have been billed by Zagat as "so authentic they'll transport you
to Paris with one bite." The
best part is they're gluten-free and made in NYC.
Flavors range from basic chocolate and pistachio, to
tropical passionfruit and jasmin, to creative sesame tahini and honey
lavender. Feast your eyes on the
rainbow colored arrays of cookies and explore the wild variety.
Chase down the crumbs with a pot of tea. Choose from herbal and black teas, such
as rooibois, green tea, earl grey, and blends like vanilla rooibois.
The cafe also serves breakfast and lunch. Featuring daily specials, their menu
includes croissants, salads, and baguette sandwiches of smoked salmon, chicken,
various cheeses, and avocado.
Ingredients are hormone free and organic milk and dairy.
Seating is limited to stools at the counter by the window or at small
tables for groups of 4, maybe 6 at a stretch.
