On the Grid : Darling Coffee
"Wow, it smells good here. With hot chai tea and warm cheddar biscuits for days, Darling Coffee is no ordinary establishment. Opening in 2012, Darling Coffee quickly become a neighborhood standard. They excel in baked good, sandwiches, seasonal soups, and a warm environment that prefers books to computers, engaging conversation to superficial niceties. Nichole, the owner, is there on most days blending in with the rest of the friendly staff. Pull up, sit down. Enjoy a cup of tea. Enjoy a satisfying lunch. Meet a friend. Write the next Great American Novel, crank out your thesis paper. Darling Coffee is something of a community space and is known for supporting local artists on their walls and generally just being nice. Don't you like inviting places? Don't you like coffee and yummy baked goods? Don't worry, you're only human. Nobody will judge you. Inwood residents love it here." - Jeanne Henry
