Martha Stewart Cafe
"I am thrilled to open the Martha Stewart Cafe. It's a place inspired by my world travels where anyone can come and enjoy a smooth, well-balanced, beautifully handcrafted cappuccino, latte, macchiato, or just plain Americano. In addition, you must try our artisanal teas – they are the finest available anywhere," said Martha Stewart, MSLO Founder and Chief Creative Officer.
The Martha Stewart Cafe draws its menu inspiration from the artisanal cafes of Europe. Along with hot beverages, it will serve cold-brew iced coffee. The cafe is proud to partner with Kobrick Coffee, a New York City-based and family-owned roaster that sourced the beans for the custom "Martha's Blend" coffee served at the cafe, as well as Martha's favorite espresso bean, which is roasted in small batches in Trieste, Italy.
Artisanal loose-leaf teas, provided by Wei Bertram of Connecticut-based Arogya Tea, are also available. These include Martha's Breakfast Blend, a signature blend of Assam long leaf and Chinese black teas; Da Hong Pao, a legendary Oolong hand-rolled and roasted in China; a nutty, subtly sweet Buckwheat tea; and more.
Featured pastries will also be served at the Cafe, and have been hand-selected by Martha from her favorite bakeries, restaurants, and chefs. ChikaLicious, Baked, Bien Cuit, Balthazar, and more will provide selections that will vary daily.
Espresso and coffee beverages range in price from $1.50 – $4. Pastries range in price from $2 – $5. "Martha's Blend" beans are available by the bag for $13.50 – $15. Loose-leaf tea is available by the canister for $20.
The Martha Stewart Cafe is located at 601 W. 26th Street in Manhattan and is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information and to join the conversation, visit MarthaStewartCafe.com.
