Warm bagel smothered in an unapologetic layer of cream cheese

NYC bagel debates are serious business, but this spot hits every single time.

Escape to the Scottish Highlands without ever leaving the ship. 🏹☕️

​Café Merida is a masterclass in themed storytelling. From the intricate wood-carved signage and Celtic knotwork detailing to that stunning tapestry of Merida and Angus, every corner feels like a warm embrace from DunBroch.

​The design perfectly balances rustic charm with a touch of regal elegance—those tartan carpets and deep forest green walls create such an inviting atmosphere for your morning brew. And of course, you can’t miss the iconic iced buns! It’s the perfect spot to sit back, channel your inner archer, and plan the day’s adventures.
