• An absolute must try while in NYC

Coming to NYC for the weekend, By Chloe was high on our list as a restaurant to try. We arrived shortly after the daily opening, to have brunch there, and we were very surprised by the crowd already lined up. The good news is that the staff is very good and well organized, so the line moves pretty quickly. Once we placed our order, we had to wait for a free table. We ordered from the brunch menu the 'early bird' and the daily pancakes. The early bird was organic tofu scramble, a sausage, some greens and a multi grain toast: everything was totally awesome. The daily pancakes were almost too decadent for brunch! It was cacao and raspberries with chocolate chips and maple syrup on side. I would have those for dessert in a heart beat! We loved By Chloe so much that we decided to go back again the next morning. This time, we arrive before the opening! We tried morning oats with quinoa, almond butter, blueberries and maple syrup: excellent! And a new take on hash browns with the most delicious quinoa patty, with cashew cream and smoked paprika. Perfectly seasoned, crispy outside and moist inside: a must try! I got a cute coconut with Chloe's name that they open in front of you, so you can sip the water. Original and lovely! We were full, but couldn't resist the multitude of sweet offerings displayed in front of the counter. We got a cup cake, a giant cookie, a cinnamon roll and a muffin. Every single goodie was heavenly! And even the paper bag was adorable, as the decor and graphics in the restaurant. We were not surprised to learn that By Chloe is going to open a second location soon. This place is just awesome! They got a perfect concept: casual healthy food that tastes great and is creative, in a youthful yet elegant decor. I wished there was By Chloes everywhere in the world!
