Best cookie in NYC? Possibly. Hand-shaped, Levain-inspired chocolate chip walnut cookies & great coffee. Underrated gem.
Bryan Kim reviews Yanni's Coffee, a Chelsea spot famous for its cookies and coffee, highlighting their hand-shaped treats and Sey coffee beans.
This Chelsea coffee shop is a hidden gem, celebrated for its exceptional cookies and high-quality coffee.
