Macchiato Espresso Bar Macchiato Espresso Bar could easily be a bar/lounge scene if the lights were turned down. It made me feel like I was meeting for after-work "drinks" without having to drink alcohol. I ordered a half regular, half decaf coffee (they serve organic), and it was good. Hallelujah! Dark, yet smooth, I even drank a few sips black. As I was paying, the guy behind the counter pointed out the cookies that were sitting on a warmer. Ok, can't resist a warm cookie with my coffee, throw it in....The cookie was similar to a chocolate chip cookie except that the cookie dough seemed folded around a layer of chocolate pieces.


When you break open the cookie, you can see the melted gooey goodness. The soft and chewy cookie is an improvement on the classic chocolate chip cookie, as if it were designed for me.

I'm sold. The prices are perfectly reasonable for a nice place to meet up in midtown, with very good coffee, and a memorable cookie.
