reece pacheco: great selection of artisanal cheese, chocolate, etc but really expensive.
Compass: Sample delicate and rare cheeses, jams, and artisan treats from the experts on Irving Place.
Arnaud Réauté: A huge wide choice of excellent cheese from all over Italy, France, Belgium, US... really a lot to taste. Staff is helpful and very nice.
Food Network: Don’t underestimate what you might find in the winter months –apples, honey, and artisan food are available all year! – Chef Anne Burrell, host of Worst Cooks in America/Secrets of a Restaurant Chef
Jamie Willshaw: Free wifi. Nice artisan market :)
Celena Chan: Great for people watching, artisan cheese, fresh flowers and local fruits and baked goods. Can be a bit expensive and crowded, but it's always nice to support local when possible!
Anthony P: Get the Artisan French Toast
Josh: Wanted to like this place, but had a poor first experience. Waitress couldn't explain what Irish soda bread is, artisanal French toast was very poor, and the regular one does NOT use challah bread!
Alex Clausen: Artisan French toast, more a dessert or cake then a breakfast meal. But delicious

Paige C: Very unique and artisanal flavors - I loved the crunch of the Boston creme and the tartness of the lemon poppy. Get a few to take home!
Lucille Fisher: I'm a sucker for doughnuts, not your run of the mill dough but the artisanal kind. Dough offers a good selection, I had the coconut glazed ones but for me Doughnut Plant rules!
