Haven’s Kitchen market and coffee bar has made it through its first weekend! Thanks to some exciting press in the New York Times and Daily Candy, we had a steady stream of visitors. Our customers were full of warmth and excitement, curiosity about our cooking classes, private event space, as well as our supper club.

Our baristas are composing beautiful cappuccinos, our retail staff is getting comfortable talking about Haven’s Kitchen and our purveyors, and class registrations are steadily streaming in! The pistachio-agave cookies and burnt sugar espresso shortbread from Ovenly were a huge hit, as were our espresso drinks and private blend drip coffee from La Colombe.

 The café table was full of neighbors enjoying warm drinks as respite from the cold wind and dirty snow. Seeing friends catching up and sharing a pot of Bellocq’s Queen’s Guard Tea created a moment in which Haven’s Kitchen perfectly symbolized its namesake — a true haven.
