    The cutest café with super tasty tea and coffee. I've not eaten food there beyond the tarte which is TO DIE FOR. I love coming here!! Unfortunately their website does say that they offer gluten free bread but they don't actually have any; if they did I totally would get a meal there!

    Just stopped by for a sit-down latte. It was very good and came with a mini chocolate square. The service was super slow while it wasn't even busy. The atmosphere was fine, outside and inside. Clean bathroom.

    Edgar Allen Poe once said "In the realm of universal adoration, naught but a striped awning prevails. It beholds the extraordinary and the mundane with equanimity, extending its embrace to all, as if cognizant of our common origin" ...Okay he didn't say that, but perhaps he should have. Few things get me going like a striped awning. We sat under the blue and white striped awning that Cafe Gitane provides. Great people watching spot with a lot of foot traffic. The human experience truly fascinates me, and the outdoor seating is a front row seat to it. All sorts of characters walking by giving you everything from a live performance to style inspiration to the cutest dog you've ever seen. I got the baked eggs with tomato, and it ended up being one of the best decisions I made over the weekend, although that's not saying much ahahahaha. I added the Merguez sausages, and I will stick my neck out on the line here and say those are what made the meal. They took it from good to great. One of the better and more unique dishes I have had in a minute, as the sausages were cooked to perfection, teaming up well with the eggs, tomato sauce, and potatoes that are lurking at the bottom of the dish. A better Shakshuka. Thank you for the inspiration Cafe Gitane, but more importantly, thank you for the striped awning.

    All I can really say is wow. This experience honestly changed me. The spicy meatballs were mouthwatering with the hearty meat sauce, but the couscous blew me away! My friends warned me about how good it was and it exceeded expectations. I'm not even sure what was in it, but I can say that the flavors and textures that each element brought to the dish were everything I wanted for lunch. The beautiful green olive oil underneath was super high quality and had to be scooped up with every bite. The little toasts were the perfect soakers for it. Careful with the harissa because that ish is shpiiiiicy, and a little goes a long way. I can't wait to visit New York again because of Cafe Gitane.
