Little King

Editor's note: Little King has ceased its cafe operations. You can still visit the shop, and you can check their Instagram for updates on upcoming food pop-ups and events.

Little King feels like a beautifully curated trap designed to make you spend money on a melon chopstick rest or a $200 baguette lamp. You might also find yourself splurging (to a lesser degree) on the cafe’s excellent baked good selection, with options like rye brioche egg buns, black sesame butter mochi cakes, and rhubarb mascarpone tarts. After three hours of walking and staring at shards of glass (excuse us, art) on the ground at Dia Beacon, Little King’s focaccia sandwiches and seasonal banchan are the perfect pick-me-up that’ll keep you from getting too hangry before catching your Metro-North train home.
