在西哈林區住了五年半,一直在等待一家讓我想久坐又空間舒適的咖啡店。左等右等,終於讓我盼到The Chipped Cup的到來 :D 在去年夏天 (2013)開張,在西148&149街之間Broadway上,入口隱身在lower level,若是沒有這塊牌子可能就會一直走過頭。雖然不是一般來紐約的遊客會拜訪的區域,不過如果你和我一樣是咖啡控,也想體驗一下紐約市中心高樓大廈之外的另一個面貌,我誠心推薦大家來坐坐。我個人非常喜歡他們的Latte還有Chai,以及現烤的可頌夾火腿和起士(大心)。光是Chai就有三種不同口味,有一般的,Dirty chai(大概就是chai味更重點),還有南瓜味的。不知道為什麼,他們的招牌設計很有仙履奇緣的風格,南瓜風味的chai也讓我不禁想到南瓜馬車(?)
I've been eagerly expecting a comfortable, spacious coffee shop I'd like to spend my time in since I moved to west harlem 5+ years ago. Then finally, The Chipped Cup came along! The Chipped Cup opened on Broadway between w148&149 Street in the summer of 2012. The entrance is hidden in the lower level. If not for this sign, I might very well missed the stairs. West harlem is not a typical destination to visit for tourists coming to NYC, but if you enjoy coffee like I do and would like to see a different side of NYC, I sincerely recommend people to check out this spot. They have 3 different flavors of Chai Latte, including regular chai, dirty chai, and pumpkin! Their logo design always makes me think of Cinderella. I guess pumpkin chai also reminds me of pumpkin cart? :P
