Coffee in NY + Breslin Pastries

Latte at Stumptown Coffee Roasters

As we all know, New York is know for their sidewalk cafes.  The ones that we walked into were all crowded.  Lines seem to be a necessity to get your hands on a cup of joe!

Americano x4

Ground Support Cafe

You know those lids on the fountain drinks?  Where everyone loves pressing the "diet" and "cola" buttons? 

Ground Support had these awesome coffee lids made just coffee.  Decaf?  OKAY.  Cream?  FOSHO.  Black?  HECK YEAH!  (Jocelyn is crazy for black coffee.)  They should make it a law for all coffee shops to have these lids.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters

Have you ever seen your local barista dressed up?  Wearing a fedora?  At Stumptown everything was so quaint!

Latte

Remember our breakfast at Breslin?  With the deep-fried sausage?  We heard Breslin had pretty rad pastries but after eating all that fried meat goodness, our tummies were MAXED OUT (like our debit cards...)

We decided to stop by Stumptown another morning to try their famous coffee and learned they sold Breslin pastries!  We took it as a sign from god to eat it.Stumptown and Breslin are both conveniently connected to Ace Hotel.

There were so many pastries to choose from so we asked for the most popular items and drumroll...

The popular pastries!

Pineapple Donut

The pineapple donut had good flavor but a tad bit dense for a yeast donut.  

Orange Custard Bun

Innards

This pastry was a lot fluffier than the pineapple donut, and it had a surprising custard filling to contrast the texture of the bread.  You can never go wrong with pastries for breakfast, and with a great cup of coffee...BALLIN!
