This snazzy joint near Union Square caught our attention while visiting New York City. Coffee Shop is actually a diner with a full bar. (The specialty drinks are definitely worth trying.) The upscale décor of the front dining area hides a casual and more relaxing, but still very hip, second dining room. The quirky vintage red chairs and funky geometric tables reminded us of the 1960s. The Mixed Stew Crew had the Spaghetti and Meatballs ($ 13.95) and Ropa Vieja W/ Rice, Black Beans and Sweet Plantains ($ 15.95). The large food portions didn’t disappoint. Lighter fare includes Caesar Salad with Anchovies ($ 8.95) and Non Fat Yogurt & Homemade Granola Banana Split W/ Fresh Berries ($ 9.95). The Tamales of the Day ($ 7.95) pleasantly surprised The Mixed Stew crew when we tasted lamb and lamb pieces instead of chicken, beef, or pork. Don’t be intimidated by the ambience because the great food at Coffee Shop is also reasonably priced and worth every penny.
