Abraco

Are you tired of all those boring muffins and croissants at your local coffee shop? Then head over to this tiny East Village cafe. Olive oil cake, cured black olive cookies, ricotta fritters and orange bread puddings are imaginative accompaniments for Abraco's great cappuccinos. (If you want something less exotic, try the chocolate chunk cookies.)
