Bakeway NYC: Betty Crocker Would Be Jealous

Banana bread is a fickle thing and so often ends up too crumbly or flavorless.  Not so at Bakeway NYC where the fruity cake emerges from industrial size ovens like it was delivered from the Chiquita Banana girl herself.  Bakeway NYC has traditional cakes and pastries but likes to tweak the normal presentation: carrot cake is served either in pound cake form with no icing or in a bowl of carrot cake cubes floating in a parfait of buttercream icing.   One bite of their chocolate-infused delicacies will make you forget even the most arduous of days. Fighting couples are silenced over the tastiness of Bakeway NYC's apple tarts.  These people should win a Nobel Prize for their peacekeeping work. 

There's also all the usual coffee and beverage choices that accompany cafes, though the seating is somewhat limited.  However, the staff is gregarious and helpful while the decor is a warm wood motif.  Towards the end of the day, there is a hot food bar, though that is largely neglected by both staff and patrons.  For lunch, there is a selection of pre-made salads and yogurt options that never crest the $5 mark.  Beware the chocolate croissants if you ever want to see your feet again.

There's now a Bakeway on 30th Ave near 29th Street -- free WiFi, friendly service, nice ready-to-eat options. They bake their own pastries and depend on the Broadway Bakeway kitchen for the salads and whatnot. However it can't match the refrigerator case of the Broadway Bakeway, which has like hundreds of strange bottled beverages. The variety is astounding.

I can assure you BakewayNYC does not purchase their desserts from chambordesserts... I worked there part time last year and still go visit often.
