poor service, mediocre dessert

by nycmatildagirl

ewww...i used to love everything by sarabeth. what's going on?? our chocolate souflee was a disaster, so was our coffee! on top of everything those spanish women who work here have no manners. they throw things at you and bark at you if you ask for napkins/plates/forks. if you do decide to drop by, you must try their cherry pie and homemade spreads (apricot has always been my favorite!!!) which are to die for.

• Pros: cherry pie, homemade spreads, chelsea market location
• Cons: everything else...poor service, decor, and other desserts

Just another place to milk tourists

by xenainsf

For the price we paid ($8 over for pancakes with self-service), you would expect the food not to come in cheap plastic plates. They cannot even do a simple latte. There is perhaps the worst I have had, with more milk in it than coffee.

• Pros: Decor
• Cons: Price, Plastic plates, Horrible coffee

In Short
This wood-covered, country-style shop and cafe is one of six locations owned by Sarabeth and Bill Levine, who have been selling homemade edibles since the 1980s. Their signature is Spreadable Fruit in 16 flavors, among them plum cherry, chunky apple and blood orange marmalade. The bakery also sells lemon Bundt cakes, banana cakes and crisp "cloud" cookies, as well as ham and cheddar and turkey and avocado sandwiches.
