Cypress Inn Cafe reborn in Ridgewood

by

I feel a little guilty saying this, but Ridgewood, Queens is where it’s at. Friends keep moving there, new restaurants are opening up, and most of the neighborhood is quiet and pleasant, yet obviously urban. Is Ridgewood our city’s latest candidate for rapid over-development? Perhaps, but the POINT of this post is not socio-political; rather, it’s to celebrate our newest partner in Queens, the Cypress Inn Cafe.

This little corner cafe is a gem. It hits all the right notes: great coffee, tasty bites, mellow yet convivial vibe, and superb customer service from the owner, Ridgewood-native Vincent Signorelli. (That’s his mother pictured above our granola on their pantry goods shelf.) Cypress Inn will be pure perfection once their liquor license comes through!

If you’re in the neighborhood, look for the decades-old “Cypress Inn Bar” sign that still hangs on the corner of Stanhope and Cypress and have a granola and yogurt parfait courtesy Granola Lab and the Cypress Inn Cafe.

 

Granola Lab is Now in Michigan

Now the residents of Farmington Hills, MI can enjoy Granola Lab tastiness! Bed Bath and Beyond at Hunters Square is now carrying Granola Lab.

A few years ago, Bed Bath and Beyond began selling food items at select stores, which makes sense. If you’re going into a store to buy cereal bowls, why not buy the cereal too?

Granola Lab was first available at the Bed Bath and Beyond on 6th Avenue (between 18th and 19th) in Manhattan about a year ago. It is now stocked at 6 Bed Bath & Beyond stores (6th Avenue, Manhattan; East Hannover, NJ; Schaumburg, IL; Vienna, VA; Iselin, NJ; and now in Farmington HIlls).

Queens-bound or bust

We’re excited to announce that Granola Lab is available in two locations in Queens! The borough to our north is just as deserving of delicious, high-quality, preservative-free granola as Brooklyn and Manhattan. Sorry it took us so long to get to you!

Our first two stores are Foodcellar & Co. in Long Island City and Vitality & Health Natural Market in Astoria.

 

We’ll be demo-ing the goods at Foodcellar this Sunday from 12-4 pm. They’re on 47th Road, right by Gantry Plaza State Park (an amazing riverside spot, I must say).
