When you get tired of sleuthing around the nearby antique stores, revitalize those bargaining skills at this quaint cafe. Antique hounds love to pop in and gloat over their latest find, while enjoying the fresh sandwiches and beverages available here. During the summer months, Antique Cafe sets up a refreshing iced tea stand with a colorful array of flavored teas. Try the thirst quenching cranberry-ginger blend or the blackberry cinnamon.
I come here because it's in my neighborhood, and any which way I order my omelet, it's always great and generous proportion. My friends and I usually have a pretty good time here, we come on weekends, and the service is pretty quick. You usually don't have to wait long for a table. Personal favorite on the brunch menu: omelets with brie and spinach, eggs florentine, and the paninis. All are to me the best. Avoid the pancakes. They should rethink those and give them a little more flavor. Good jazz usually, and good relaxed environment.
When rushing along 6th avenue feeling hungry or in need of a coffee fix, be sure to take a detour down 26th heading toward Broadway. Behind the corner high rise is a little jewel of a place, known as Antique Cafe. It's a better alternative to the ubiquitous Starbucks, though not necessarily less expensive. The trade off, however, is a great menu, and an elegant dining experience all the while retaining a mom and pop feel. It's a great spot to unwind, I love coming here after shopping to relax and read.
