Darling Coffee (CLOSED)

Coffee geekery arrives in Inwood with this 35-seat café, serving Blue Bottle and Dallis Bros. java. Husband-and-wife team Nick Lidakis and Nichole Frocheur-Lidakis split the food-and-drink duties: Nick pulls the espresso shots, while Nichole whips up the pastries. Take your pourover with a scone, or tuck into a full lunch, like sandwiches on house-baked baguettes make up the bill of fare. Tall storefront windows let sunlight into the minimalist space, which is outfitted with white pendant lamps and red and blue chairs.
