Bumpy's Cafe (1)

Tagged By maven Aug.11.09

This cafe is located right near M.E.C. and has fantastic coffee. You can choose your brand of expresso (JJ Bean, 49th Parallel) to go in your fancy beverage - they do latte art and make great home made baking. Has a retro interior and a nice busy feel. The staff are hip and super at their job. It's my favorite place to go with my twin boys and wife on the weekend. Great shops near by so it's a fun outing with lots of great things to do after. Highly highly recommended. Really popular with the locals. They don't have sandwhiches or dinner fare. Read More

Namskar Fine East Indian Cuisine

Namskar is an amazing place. The naan has to be the best in the city - and the dishes are generous in portion and always perfectly seasoned. We are consistently amazed at the quality and consistency of this place in taste, presentation and service. The decor is stylish and romantic. A great place to share an evening. Apparently they have a super buffet as well at lunch. Maven was here. Read More

Brulee Patisserie

Tagged By maven Aug.23.10

Located right underneath the Cookbook Company in the 11th avenue design district - you cannot stop by Brulee and not walk out with delicious baking. I have yet to have better bakery made cookies - there cakes are renowned the city over and they are often out of baking by mid - day. It's best to call ahead with orders. They also have breads as well as sweets. Read More
