Back from NY: Cupcakes, Cinnamon Buns and Tofu Cookies

Leave a Comment WKB projects cinnamon buns, cupcakes, New York


We just got back from a foodfull visit to New York City. So much to try and taste and such small stomachs! It’s a shame and a blessing, it leaves you wishing you could manage more but you are also comforted by the thought you will always fit in your plane seat. Still, we tried a lot in small dosage: Magnolia Cupcakes (so last year! yes I know, but I had never tasted them), Cinnamon Buns from Bouchon Bakery and Okara Cookies from Kyotofu. We also found the best coffee, just around the corner from our West Village apartment.


Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, which cupcake is the first to go?

Best Coffee in NYC: Jack or Joe?

A stones throw from our New York apartment on Gay Street we found a very relaxed coffee place called Joe (The Art of Coffee). A perfect spot to wake up and smell the freshly ground beans. A few days later we discovered Jack’s Stir Brew on the other side at 10th street. At Jack’s they know their triple shots from the more boring every day extractions. Jack stands for certified organic, Fair Trade, shade grown and micro roasted, just as we like it. So when asked the questions ‘Who do you like more Jack or Joe?’ Jack wins on account of intensity of taste and being a one off place, a thing we always support for fear of ending up in a world where the only choice is ordering your food and coffee from a clown from hell.
