Unparalleled desserts and crepes--best ever

by nab32578 at Citysearch

My husband and I live on the Upper West Side and we are always looking for new breakfast / brunch spots to try!! This morning we made an awesome discovery--Artopolis Espresso Cafe!!! First of all, as soon as I walked in, i forgot all about breakfast when i saw the dessert case!!! Oh my goodness!!!! I immediately ordered a beautiful mixed fruit tart to start, and it tasted as good as it looked!!!! Then I ordered a strawberry and chocolate crepe (clearly i have a sweet tooth!) and it was AWESOME!!! My husband ordered a much healthier crepe and a salad!! He was also super excited about finding Artopolis!!!! Beautiful and delicious food, free internet and outside seating!!! We are already planning on coming next weekend!!!

  • Pros: best crepe ive ever had!! desserts to die for!!

Best cafe in New York City!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Sharonone at Citysearch

I love this cafe-every time I enter I marvel at the beautiful and unusual pastries they have, the oblong shaped cookies, the muffins, the greek pastries, the crepes. The cafe is so nice , I feel so happy and relaxed when I am there. The crepes are magnificent, freshly prepared as we watch. My husband and I love the breakfast crepes, and the sweet crepes, so satisfying and delicious. We live in Murray Hill!! We go out of our way to go there and always have consistently great food and excellent service. It is also fabulous for a "coffee and desert " visit. And don't forget the gelato!!! A great addition to the

Columbia University area---I hope they expand all over the city!! This is a must go to cafe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
