Zoï Kitchen

This 100% vegan cornerside spot manages to serve up the butteriest-tasting pain au chocolat in the city, and the vanilla flan would fool any purist capable of sussing out a single drop of sweetened condensed milk. There’s a couch and a handful of tables in the bright interior, but the spacious outdoor patio is where you want to be—there are two levels with bistro tables, where a pedestrian path running along the side of the building makes for great for people-watching.
