Rank 7. La Cabra
Danish Coffee
A U-shaped bar anchors this Danish coffee shop, where streamlined taps for cold drinks share space with a proper V60 setup and a counter lined with pastries worth stopping for. La Cabra built a following in Copenhagen before planting roots on the Lower East Side, and the East Village original still draws a crowd that treats croissants and a carefully pulled espresso as a reasonable reason to leave the house.

Rank 44. Runner & Stone
Bakery
The name nods to the two stones used to grind grain, and the flour-sack-shaped concrete blocks lining the walls suggest nobody here is being subtle about the theme. This Brooklyn bakery-restaurant splits its menu between sandwiches and salads, with the bread doing most of the talking. A Per Se alum runs the bakery side, which shows. Save room for dessert, then buy something extra for the walk home.
