La Mercerie isn't even a year old, but it's already making waves in the Big Apple. It's worth a visit for the coffee but also to taste the pastries of French chef Marie-Aude Rose. She also serves a rare delicacy—a French version of cheesecake called tourteau fromagé, which is made from fresh goat cheese. Relax in the beautifully open space and savor the delicious flavors of classic France.
