Pastry chef Renata Ameni has cooked pastry at some legendary locations in the nation, including Jean-Georges and Eleven Madison Park, to developing the pastry program at Crown Shy and Saga (hello, sticky toffee pudding!). Under Kent Hospitality, chef Ameni now has her own to call home, found in the old Domino Sugar factory in Williamsburg. Her all-day cafe and bakery includes a sturdy bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a rotating cast of pasrtries inside the glass counter, from Strawberry Coconut-Cheesecake Danishes and pizza croissants to dishes that nod to her heritage, such as Pao De Queso and Alfajores. For more all-day eats, the cafe has Italian dip sandwiches and grain bowls for the taking.
