Financier Patisserie

Obviously being a foodie in New York City has its benefits (to say the least), but sometimes trying to find a great cup of coffee (not a good quick morning cup, but a GOOD cup of coffee) is tough to do. Whether it is the natural ending of a great meal, to warm you up on a cold winter day, or a pick me up in the morning after a long night, a great cup of coffee is almost heavenly. In the world of the trendy cup of bitter Starbucks brew, when you find that place to get a good cup you savor it (no pun intended).

Nestled between 5 Starbucks in Lower Manhattan, Financier Patisserie is THE place to find that great cup of coffee. They start by brewing one of the best Italian brands around, Illy, which creates a wonderfully strong (but NOT bitter) cup of Joe. This little quaint storefront located on the cobblestoned Stone Street is a great place to grab a cup of coffee, but its also known for its pastries. Daily made madeleines, brioches, filled macaroons, cakes, torts, and Italian & French Pastries that are just out of this world.

So if you live in New York City, or are visiting on business or pleasure, come and taste for yourself. With two locations in Lower Manhattan, one on Stone Street, just off of Beaver Street, and one on William Street, between Cedar and Liberty Sts (across from the Chase Building), they are close to the sites and convenient to get to. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
