A few years ago, I received the optimal birthday present: a gift tin packed with a dozen Fat Witch brownies. My life has never been the same. These chewy squares of perfection are an unforgettable experience, both in their plain chocolate glory or studded with dried cherries or walnuts.
Although the Fat Witch store is located in the Chelsea Market, you can find their luscious chocolate treats at coffeehouses around the city. When I lived in Park Slope, I picked up my weekly quota of brownies at the Tea Lounge on 7th Avenue. Today, I serendipitously happened upon them at Sicaffe Espresso (29 John St., 212-676-0237), one of my favorite downtown alternatives to Starbucks. Sicaffe only carries the miniature "baby" Fat Witch brownies, but they are devastatingly rich. Have one (or four) with an extra-strong cappuccino triestino.
Fat Witch: 75 9th Ave., (212) 807-1335.

I just had one of these lovely Fat Witch brownies, and they are delicious!! Try the ones with walnuts.
Wow. These brownies are amazing! I walked into the new Sicaffe on the Upper East Side( Lexington between 70th and 71st), and when i saw the Fat Witch brownies, i had to have them. Now i have a Fat Witch Brownie every day along with the best coffee in NYC. Siccaffe coffee and Fat Witch brownies are the perfect combination.
They have become an almost daily habit for me as well!
