Jasmine 💫: Coffee, cakes, tarts, and toasties! Don’t forget your discount if you’re staying at the InterContinental.
Wayne Anderman: Skagen, Rye, and many other breads & rolls. Sandwiches & very good cappuccinos. Easy access to Intercontinental & if strolling Lex in Midtown. Taste of Denmark in a conveniently located bakery.
Dalia Abdulkader: Great bakery. But I didn’t like that I couldn’t have the breakfast roll because they were out of avacodos and refused to substitute with tomatoes based on my request instead.
