Bourke Street Bakery

Bourke Street Bakery is located in one of my favorite areas, NoMad, and originates from Australia. I was very excited to visit, and since they opened May of this year, I was not disappointed. Famous for their lamb with harissa sausage rolls and ginger tarts, it is recommended to visit on an off hour, not lunchtime.  

The cases were filled with sweet and savory treats - my eyes were smiling  

Those mini meringue tarts were so perfect  

The savory items are just as wonderful as the sweets, their breads are all fresh made on site 

My first visit in May I couldn't try the sausage roll as they were sold out. When I was in the city for the fourth of July holiday, staying at the Evelyn hotel was so fabulous as only 1 block from the bakery! I was so thrilled to get one of these that everyone is talking about. 

I can't even begin to explain, but the flavor and taste was just over-the-top! The dough was very light, not like a pie dough and this went down so easy. Worth to wait in the line which may be outside when you arrive.  

I tried one of these as well but was disappointed that I didn't taste any peanut butter - would not be my choice when visiting again  

The chocolate tart which is a chocolate lovers dream  

More of their savory items - yummy - There is some seating inside but on a lovely day, you can take your lunch/dinner/snack to Madison Square Park and enjoy on a park bench!  

The ginger tart was pretty much perfect - a creme brulee type of topping with a fantastic crunch  

Heaven right in front of you !  

Maple. Bacon, Danish. Life is good.  

Run to this place when in the area of the fantastic NoMad (north of Madison) and you will be one very happy person. Your welcome!

Bluestone Lane Upper East Side

When you are heading to the Met Museum, breakfast is always a good idea. 

I was thrilled to finally check out the Bluestone Lane Cafe, an Australian 

coffee shop a few months ago. I love trying new places, and I never 

go to stores/restaurants I have at home. Except for Starbucks. 

Information from the Bluestone Lane Website: 

Bluestone Lane’s Upper East Side Café is the most unique and interesting locations we have created. Located in the heart of Museum Mile, with a 5th Ave address and opposite the E90th Street entrance to Central Park, this store is housed adjacent to the beautiful historic Church of the Heavenly Rest.

By leveraging the magnificent sandstone features and archways, we’ve been able to create our highest quality aesthetic experience. Our interior design was recently covered by Architectural Digest.

This location is just gorgeous, however quite small. 

My hot mocha was as tasty as it was beautiful 

My friend had the flat white which was also very pretty to look at and

tasted pretty yummy! 

Too pretty to drink, almost! 

GLUTEN FREE BANANA BREAD

Toasted & topped w/ fresh ricotta, toasted pecans, fresh banana, drizzled w/ honey 

We both had the banana bread and it was the most amazing I ever

tasted! It was really just so so good! 

A great way to start your day before getting some culture at many of the best 

museums in the country on museum mile! 

They have lovely outdoor seating for when the weather is nice, I would prefer

to sit there as inside is very small and cramped. It is worth it I think for

the coffee and cuisine to take a trip here.
