They are sold in two sizes and are inexpensive. It's actually a small meringue based round cake. Make sure you drink a hot chocolate or coffee with it, perfect combination! After you decide your flavour of merveilleux, go to the counter and order. The service is quick, note additional seating upstairs.

It is like an Apple store for coffee makers. For you Americans, it would be like if they had a…read moreKeurig store that only sold Keurig machines, coffee pods, plus had a coffee bar. I will admit, I am sold on Nespresso and have replaced my Keurig Vue and Platinum with a Nespresso Creatista. This store in particular is always busy. Perhaps, because people know you can get free coffee samples. Or, because there isn't another Nespresso store around.

On top of scrumptious looking pastries (cakes, cupcakes, cookies, brownies...) as well as savory (which I did not try), this place offers a variety of interesting teas. I had the "Bushwick" tea and enjoyed every drop. As a tourist I was happy to find out one of the owners (Melanie) speaks English and was very helpful! Bonus, free wifi! It is also very well located. Overall, it's a very cute family run business and I will be back before I leave!

The shop is really cute and well decorated. There is a bunch of plants, it seems more personalized than the chains you can find in the street (Nothing Hill Coffee, Starbucks...) However, if you'd planned to come there in order to work you need to know that the WiFi isn't functional on laptop. But I recommend it
