Steve LeVine: Try the Key Lime Pie - With white chocolate sauce, meringue and blueberries. Delicious!
Danika Landers: Nicest people and to die for chocolates. Don't miss the chili hot chocolate in the winter time.
Jared Klett: If you like mint ice cream you have to try it here. It tastes like actual mint leaves, not mint extract. Amazing.

Judy P: When it's in season, try the lemon meringue tart. It's their best tart followed by the mango coconut one!
pipitu: They have possibly the best croissants in NYC. Matcha latte is also top notch.
Village Voice: Pizza with no cheese…how…and more importantly, why? But the Sicilian Breakfast Pizza is a thick square of warm pastry and tomato-ey goodness.
