    There’s not much to dislike about Darling Coffee. The coffee is great and the pastries are to die for. And a great place to sit and relax. And on Saturdays the bake stickie buns. Delicious and yummy.

    Love their cappuccinos and a great selection of food. Lots of natural light which is nice and seating space. FYI they have a no laptop policy on the weekends for a portion of the day

    This is, hands down, one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. For a year-and-a-half and treated me like family and I've never missed a coffee shop more.

    Get a seat by the window (or in the window!) if you want to do some extensive reading. This coffe shop is spacious and inviting. You can easily carve out a space for yourself.

    Get a pastry. It doesn't matter which, they're all delicious and for less than you'll pay virtually anywhere else on the island of Manhattan. And the coffee's pretty awesome too.

    Great little find in #Inwood. The line is incredibly long but the food and coffee look so good. I must come back.

    Love that they appreciate SAVORY pastries. So nice to eat a yummy veggie or meat scone, muffin or galette! Delish (and baked in the shop!)

    All the pastries here are made in-house. I never found one I didn't like. Definitely try the seasonal option whenever it's available.

    They bake 20 of their amazing home made baguettes a day, each morning. They'd love to bake some in the afternoon for people to take home for dinner. An amazing idea.

    They have coffee tastings on Thursdays circa four pm. Free try some new coffee. They also treat it like a wine or whiskey tasting. Learn something new about coffee?

    From the website: "Come Thursday afternoons at 4:00 for free weekly coffee cuppings, and sample blends from growing regions including Ethiopia, Sumatra, Honduras, Mexico and the Dominican Republic."

    Try the savory bread pudding with ham, gruyere, leeks, and wild mushrooms. Paired with a passion plum tea and you have a harvest.

    The coffee is great, as is the baking. Grab a King Kong or Campfire cookie at your earliest opportunity!

    Great place! Free wifi and great coffee. The only downside is that they don't sell sodas...

    Snag a textbook-perfect baguette if you can. Only 20 are baked daily, and some are used in superb sandwiches: Read more

    Try the white bean soup with pumpkin seed pesto. Based in a chicken and cream stock and served with a baguette.
