"It’s hard to imagine having a bad day if it starts with an orange blossom croissant and a coconut cardamom iced coffee at Yellow. It’s easy to get lost in the café’s pastries, and you’ll want to eventually try them all (the date and labneh coffee cake and pistachio Palestinian olive oil cake, for starters) but don’t let their sweets make you overlook their savory options. The wood-fired pitas with lamb hummus and the BBQ harissa cauliflower pita will make you want to stay all day. If your plan is to settle in for a long haul, just know that the small space doesn’t allow laptops, so come with a good book or just enjoy your meal in peace." - madeline weinfield
