For those of you living under a rock for the past two years, Aaron Silverman is the Owner/Chef of the critically acclaimed (but not the least bit pretentious) Rose's Luxury. When Silverman announced he would be opening a sister restaurant literally next door to Rose's, I may have let out an actual squeal of excitement.
The fine dining portion of P&P is set to open sometime Mid-April (according to the barista I spoke to this week); however, the walk-up coffee bar portion is now open. My hubs and I stopped by this week to experience Silverman's take on a latte and pastry. Surprise, surprise I was not disappointed.
I had a perfect velvety cappuccino to drink and tasted almost every food option offered. My favorites were the Pineapple Roll, Mexican Hot Chocolate Roll, and Brisket Brioche. See photos below, let the drooling commence.
Final note, as someone in the design industry, I have to give props to Silverman for his meticulous attention to detail. From the stunning walnut and brass espresso machine to the sleek matte black to-go food bag, every piece of this coffee bar experience has been well executed.
