6. Gracious & Delicious: Georgia & Aliou’s Tiny Treats Café

Exceedingly popular, Georgia & Aliou's Tiny Treats has opened on upper Amsterdam.
Exceedingly popular, Georgia & Aliou’s Tiny Treats has opened on upper Amsterdam.

Former UWS baker, Georgia Stamoulis, was forced to close her eponymous bakery on Broadway after a destructive fire in 2011. But she teamed up with executive pastry chef Aliou Hane to open Tiny Treats (616 Amsterdam; 646.767.9797) on a slightly forlorn block that is nonetheless welcoming new businesses. (The much loved Anthi’s Greek Food, with its amazing yoghurt, is next door.) Tiny Treats is unusually hospitable, kind to everyone who enters. Excellent croissants and pastries, good pies, fun seating.
