Dessert at Serendipity 3
In the few times I’ve been to Serendipity 3 (which by the way, makes you feel like you just fell into the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland when you walk in), I’ve never actually had any meals. That’s because people normally come here for their dessert, namely, their famous “Frrrozen Hot Chocolate.” Well that, and it also earned its rank among landmark restaurants in the city.

GIVEAWAY: Marley Coffee founded by Rohan Marley
Coffee lovers, listen up! I’m so excited to present our very first FOOD giveaway on the blog! And even more excited that it’s from the organic gourmet coffee line founded by Rohan Marley (son of legendary musician Bob Marley), Marley Coffee.
Rohan founded the company only a year ago. Marley Coffee features a collection of 5 coffees that are ethically farmed, certified organic and sustainably grown. According to their website, “Marley Coffee offers an assortment of shade-grown coffee blends from the finest coffee producing regions in the world, including Central and South America, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia. They also offer an organic single origin java from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. Marley Coffee is determined to deliver intoxicating aroma and rich, smooth flavor into every cup that bears the Marley name.”
The Wormhole Coffee in Wicker Park, Chicago

Delorean car at Wormhole Cafe
It was the second non-chain coffeehouse I stumbled onto in my trot around Wicker Park for java, but Wormhole Coffee left quite the impression. My friend and I had spontaneously wandered around the hipster neighborhood in general discovery mode, only to find ourselves at the storefront in awe of a particularly familiar-looking car just inside. The real-life-size DeLorean with the vanity license plate OUTATIME was straight out of Back to the Future, and it, like the rest of the café, took us back to our childhoods.
Blue Bottle Coffee in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
By Summar Ghias
The three-foot-tall slow drip devices at Blue Bottle make you feel as if you're in a very caffeinated and aromatic lab.
Coffee turned science experiment? That’s pretty much the vibe at Blue Bottle Coffee in Williamsburg, where three-foot-tall glass globe slow-drip devices make an iced coffee at precisely 88 drops per minute. It’s enough to get a nerdy coffee lover excited. And, I was.
Coffee lovers, make your way over to Stumptown
I’ve been getting referred to some of the best places lately, and Stumptown has been one my favorites so far. My friend’s cousin, Imraan, recently came to visit NYC from Capetown and told me about this coffee joint he had come across. I figured if he’s missing it from S. Africa, then I definitely have to try.
Baristas at Stumptown
How awesome are the baristas in their vintage 50s get up? I was not expecting it but love that, along with all the old school roasters hanging back in the decor, add so much to the ambiance — makes it feel so much more authentic.
