Melissa and Emily Elsen, sisters from South Dakota, started selling pie in 2009 and opened this shop on Third Avenue in spring 2010. It is a counter with a few tables, a slice of salted honey or whatever is in season, and coffee. Nothing about it has scaled up in fifteen years.
Mon to Fri, 8am to 6pm. Sat, 9am to 7pm. Sun, 10am to 6pm
A corner café on Fourth Avenue at Carroll Street, doing breakfast sandwiches, muffins baked on site and coffee to sit with. It is the daytime counterweight to a strip that is otherwise garages and new towers. Tables turn slowly and nobody minds.
Mon to Fri, 7:30am to 4pm. Sat and Sun, 8am to 4pm
