Mini Bar (Closed)
Posted on | January 13, 2010 | 2 Comments
Looking for a cup of Joe & wanting to try somewhere new, I headed to Mini Bar with a friend. There have been quite a few stores in that particular spot, but I had really never noticed Mini Bar. First off, the interior is awesome! Lots of exposed wood, etc. you can tell that they took care in designing the place.
We were the only customers & had the run of the place. I ordered a regular coffee & Dan got a cappuccino. The coffee was good, nothing groundbreaking however. Looking through the menu, they serve sandwiches, salads, breakfast (eggs, baked goods, etc) & frozen drinks. They give the items on the menu smug names which I found kind of odd. Want a ‘Crazy for You’ (Prosciutto & Mozzarella Sandwich) with your ‘Ray of Light’ (Artichoke, Hearts of Palm & Avocado Salad)? I just don’t get it. (Update: I learned afterwards that these are names of Madonna songs, go figure!)
All in all, a nice little coffee shop/Café. I’m sure I’ll be going back to try the food.
Mini Bar: 131 East 7th Street @Avenue A

Oh brother, ‘smug names’ lol. The sandwiches are named after Madonna songs. Hello! EROTICA…BORDERLINE…RAY OF LIGHT. Ring a bell?
Anyway, the sandwiches here are great because they are very light, on the healthy side and the bread is noticeably soft and fresh. Though I miss Other Worldly Waxes which used to be in this space, Mini Bar is a welcomed addition to the neighborhood. Check it out.

Ah, my knowledge of Madonna seems to be lacking. Still looking forwards to tasting the food there.
