A slimmed down concept here on the UES, Angelina’s intimate new retail space does not include a full-service tea room or restaurant, instead it focuses on counter service for their signature pastries — like the Mont-Blanc featuring chestnut cream vermicelli, meringue and light whipped cream or the classic chocolate eclair.
