  I absolutely love this little gem. The interior feels like a home. You will notice the smell of buttery baked goods as soon as you walk in.
  
  I tried all the cookies (no shame) and I highly recommend the coconut balsamic but honestly they were all fantastic. The cookies are HUGE and only cost a little over $3 which is fair. Sometimes the batch might be a little hard but you can have them warm it for you. Usually they are perfectly moist and delicious. I love it with coffee.
  
  I also tried their bread pudding which was nice, soft and not too sweet. The tarts were just okay. They have gluten free options (cookies, muffins).
  
  At noon, they serve lunch such as salads, sandwiches and soups. I had their chicken pot pie which I don't recommend. The filling was way too dry and the pastry puff was too thick. I did enjoy their turkey and thai chicken wraps. Both very flavorful and fresh!
  
  Some items change weekly depending on the chef's choice which keeps me interested in coming back. Service is always top notch and helpful.

  Greed - Bad , Competition - Good, at least when it comes to the consumer.
  
  I just recently did review on new Matto which is two doors down on their everything $2 everything deal. And today I was passing by and then notice that this cafe is practically doing the same thing, with their $2 on the entire menu deal. Now I don't have a MBA so I not going to dissect the business model here.
  
  But what I will do is participate in sampling breakfast muffins, coffee, croissants, lattes and doughnuts every time I time I pass by.
  
  And why not we have good clean cafes here offering quality goods.  But I must say that New York Sweets offers inside and outside seating and table service when they are not too busy and has more items.  And with two modern mid size hotels on the same block I think they will do just find vs the grab and go Matto customers.

  Wow, this went awry in more ways than one.  And I really did not expect it to go south because the employees seem really friendly and helpful, and the place itself is a neat, cutesy place.  Please keep in mind, my judgement so far is based only on the lunch I just had, or at least attempted to have.   And that was NOT good.
  First off, the girl at the front messed up my order.  I wasn't meant to have the chicken parmigiana hot platter (chicken parmigiana + bowtie pasta).  I was awaiting my chicken parmigiana panini getting warmed up.  But I ended up with the chicken parmigiana platter.  Which brings me to my second, and most important point.  That this food was 80% inedible and I'll be lucky if my acid reflux wasn't triggered by the amount of acidity in the tomato sauce and the amount of the tomato sauce itself.  I mean, wow.  The bowtie pasta was swimming in the lake of fire.  All the tomato sauce, garlic, and the black pepper mixed with salt was just a fkn disaster.  The chicken was almost but inedible.  I tried to eat as much of this horrid platter as I could because that's all the lunch I had and I had no other choice.  I really do not recommend this to anyone who's got gastrointestinal issues or even anyone who's not affected by them, because once you eat this shite, you might just get some.
  Since this place is not really meant to be a 'lunch' spot or 'real food' place, but is essentially a bakery goods/cafe joint, I would say just try going for those type of goods.  Now I cannot tell you if anything else there is good because I havent tried them yet.  I am hoping for their own sake that their other food is good, because this place is new and that would be a bad way to start off.
  I will think about going there again strictly to try their baked goodies to form a comprehensive and fair opinion.

  I noticed this shop during lunch and returned the next day after looking at their website, flavors looked so enticing that I just had to stop in. The site does not lie! The cookies look are just as amazing in person and believe it or not, the taste is unbelievable. Cookies are probably towards the bottom of the list of sweet treats I gravitate towards and stopped in only to buy treats for my friends and use them as guinea pigs.  
  
  After chatting with the owner who was so gracious to answer my questions about softness of cookies (hate crunchy) I opted for the traditional choco chip and the balsamic coconut. I also am not a fan of coconut, but know my friends are and they could not stop raving about how good the cookies were later at night! Even the next day the coconut stayed nice and soft. I did try both of them and was pleasantly surprised with the flavor of coconut that it didn't immediately taste like coconut allowing you to enjoy the cookie flavor.
  
  The chocolate chip was so AMAZING! It was sweet, with a salty after taste. Perfect texture of ooey gooey chocolatey goodness. I also tried the pretzel bark, while the chocolate is a little too milky for me, again I loved the contrast of salty and sweet.
  
  The owner was friendly, happy to answer any questions and give recommendations as was the rest of the staff. Excited to return!

  My friend and I visited this place earlier this week, and I will say this is probably going to be one of my new favorite bakeries in the city. The interior of the bakery is so cute, the inspiration was interior designs from the 1900s, which you can totally see, from the steel doors behind the counter, to the ceiling. It's also pretty big and spacious, so you don't have to worry about feeling cramped in there if they get busy.
  
  They have a wide variety of desserts and sandwiches, as well as chocolates and everything is homemade, and of the upmost quality. I will say, everything that we tried we loved, from the tarts to the cookies. I have never heard of a French toast Tart until I came here. Same thing goes for a deep dish cookie. Overall this bakery is great, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is in Midtown or visiting the city, or anyone who has a strong love for pastries! And coffee, because they have good coffee too! I hope this business does extremely well! I'm definitely rooting for them!
