This place was fun to come to. The desserts on the ground floor were delicious. The small sizes were good for sampling before committing to big piece. Lots of products to shop from and a good selection of wines and champagne.

On the weekend they have a to-go pasta counter upstairs, same great quality as their restaurants . Great if you’re in a rush. The lavazza espresso bar downstairs and the gelato downstairs is amazing. If they have the Cremespresso drink availabl...

Delicious Treats, but on the Pricier Side.
Dropped by Eataly for a coffee and dessert pickup. Here is a quick breakdown of the experience:
The Coffee: Absolutely excellent. Rich, well-brewed, and easily the highlight of the visit.
The Pastri...
es: Both the cannoli and the bombolone were fresh, authentic, and very tasty.
The Value: The only real downside is the cost we found the place to be a little bit pricey for a casual coffee and pastry run.
Overall, it is a wonderful spot for high-quality Italian treats if you don't mind spending a premium.
