the intelligentsia stuff is great. coffees they’ve been serving are more full-bodied and satisfying than the ones on offer from the big chains around the 30s and 6th area. nice to see a place that cares enough and serves something like this here.

I was visiting from SF in early July and was very happy to find Culture Espresso.

I cant really rant with the rest of you on some of the local iced coffee spots, but i will tell you that the espresso they made me on all 4 visits (my office HQ is close by)was absolutely phenomenal.

I love 9th street and have been there with clients. I did not find one weaker and one stronger. Culture and 9th street both great. I love stumptown. I love ritual and blue bottle (both SF). Intelligentsia is up there with all these. They are all Top 5 in my mind. I always hit up Intelligentsia when in LA. Culture is a great addition to NYC.

I am happy they are in my hood when visiting the main office!

Hey folks,
Sorry to cause such a ruckus.
Didn’t mean to come off snotty. Just trying to let people know about our products.
It is difficult without a storefront, but we’re trying.
Thanks!

yeah… fuck that lady for letting us know where to find her (probably delicious) baked goods, on a site dedicated to finding good food! (insert sarcastic laugh here.)

Jeez… you guys were in a pissy mood today. I have to side with Adam Prato on this one.

Dumb Ass Bakes should be the new name

Nothing like shameless promotion. What took Jen this long to get her name and cookies out there?
Zach hasn’t mention her directly but This Chick Bakes has appeared on ML twice before, when Kathy contributed about The Street Sweets Truck Top 5 and the Bakeries post.

Yeah, I don’t think she would qualify as a shill. But if she’s trying to self-promote, a little less sass sure wouldn’t hurt. You can pile on the attitude once you’ve made it big. : )

A “shill” is when someone surreptitiously comments positively about a restaurant.

There’s nothing wrong with self promoting. The schnitzel truck has been doing it for a few weeks now.

I think it’s good to see vendors being honest with midtown lunch, especially if they’re open to feedback from the readers.

REPORT THIS POST

I’d like to report the post 2 up from this one as a blatant self-promoting shill. Not that anyone ever heard of a place called This Chick Bakes, Inc., or would ever patronize a company with such a silly name anyway.
