Panini Cafe

I stopped by Panini Cafe to kill time. It's conveniently located between SoHo and Chinatown which can make for a great rest stop for the shopaholics. 

Think organic + elegant decor.

Service is kind of slow but it could be cause it was an hour before closing. They have a panini menu which I thought was very expensive, running $8-$9. Drinks were average.  Their really latte hit the spot on a cold and dreary day. And a unique coffee cup cover!

But inside I thought; that's excess plastic used when packaging design is all about being sustainable/environmental friendly.

On another note, I love Columbian Cheese Bread!

I don't like bread because it fills me up easily...but I LOVE THIS BREAD. I get it from a bakery in my neighborhood right before I step down to the train station on mornings. They make it fresh and smells so good. The outside is a little crunchy and inside has a hint of melted cheese so it's moist. Combination = PERFECT
