"The lines at the original location in the East Village snake out the door during rush hour and, truth is, it’s worth it. This Danish import has excellent coffee, exquisite pastries, table service, and an appealing Scandinavian style. If only every day could start with a perfect cappuccino in an earthenware cup and a cardamom bun. There’s a second location in Soho and the roastery in Bushwick." - Melissa McCart
