4:00pm fennel cake

All the gossip about the new Simon Sips indicated a promising addition to our burgeoning gourmet coffee culture in NYC. Realizing that the morning meeting in the East Village would accommodate an easy stop-by on the way back to the office, there was plentiful excitement. This fennel cake, which we wish you guys could smell, is fragrant, but the flavors more delicate and nicely not too sweet. The coffee americano was great too. Having replaced a beloved restaurant, we're glad its successor is such a lovely establishment.
