"Opening in April in the Center at Spring Mountain in Chinatown, Take It Easy is a new coffee shop and bakery from Josh Molina of Makers & Finders fame that spotlights Colombian pastries — buñuelos and pan de bono earn starring roles — alongside empanadas and flatbreads; Molina, a first-generation Colombian who recalls finding a Colombian bakery on every block in Queens and whose family routinely brings home boxes of baked goods when they visit relatives in New York, says the space will be smaller and different from the full-service Makers & Finders, featuring a sleek, minimalistic look, a La Marzocco espresso machine, a small patio, counter service, a few tables and a bar for seating inside, and serving as the roasting headquarters for his Makers & Finders locations with a Diedrich IR-12 infrared roaster for a cleaner roasting process." - Susan Stapleton
