This Upper West Side cafe sits right off the corner of 85th and Columbus Avenue. Mornings bring a mix of families heading to school, professionals on their way to the office, and regulars who pause with a ceramic mug to enjoy a seat on the bench or at the cafe’s counter. Inside, you’ll find a handful of tables and countertop spots, creating a relaxed, neighborly energy that sets it apart from busier corners of the city. Weekends are filled with familiar faces and visitors bound for Central Park. Stop in for a latte and croissant before exploring the nearby parks and museums, or simply enjoy a moment of calm as you pass through the neighborhood.
