The Cupcake Cafe

The Cupcake Café

Address: 545 9th Avenue (Between 40th and 41st Street)

Neighborhood: Hell’s Kitchen

Internet: Yes. How? Ask a barista for the code.

Review: This Hell’s Kitchen haunt is situated across from the bleak, industrial doors of the Port Authority and next to a homeless shelter. Location aside, this is a great spot for working on your computer, enjoying a long city read or a leisurely coffee date. Rarely ever crowded, this shabby chic café features beautifully designed cupcakes. The buttery frosting is tasty and masterfully crafted into colorful flowers but the cupcakes themselves are often dry. Coffee, cappuccinos and lattes are reasonably priced and well made.
