Nili — Restaurant in New York

My coworker had been speaking highly of this cafe in her neighborhood for weeks, and today brought in a selection of treats for us to sample today. It lived up to the hype! We had a vegan carrot muffin, chocolate olive oil cake, matcha brownie, sabich sandwich, chicken salad sandwich which was made on the fly for her.

If you are in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. They have ample...

She got annoyed when I asked her for a latte with mocha. “So, a mocha latte?” Yes. But you don’t have that on your menu, so I ordered the way your menu states... latte.. with add-ins. But then she had to ask someone there what mocha was, “chocolate”. Then she charged me extra for the mocha. And guess what, it never made it in the cup. I was trying to get a scope of the baked goods but I should’ve been watching her prepare my latte more...
