I was looking for a place to buy breakfast and stumbled upon Sesame after seeing the delicious looking bagels in the window. For good or bad, Sesame is different than most bagel stores. They have self service bread (bagels, baguettes, rye, etc.) and pastries (danishes, cookies, etc.), and potato borekas. (This is kind of how Weiss' bakery on Avenue M sells their breakfast foods.) This means you pick the bagel and bring it to the counter. You then tell the employee what you want on your bread. I like that there are a sufficient amount of wax paper and tongs with which to pick your food up with.
I bought whole wheat rolls toasted with butter, which were very delicious. I also got a cheese danish, which was the best I've EVER tried. Ever? Yes! I've been devouring cheese danishes since I was ten years old. Most that I've tried have a lot of bread and very little cheese. Not at Sesame! The danishes here have a good half an inch of cheese. Impressive! The coffee here is very good…and sweet. They are pre milked and sugared. The French vanilla was great! Also, my mother-in-law told me her friend swears by Sesame's challah bread.
Prices here are decent. I paid about $5 for two whole wheat rolls with butter and one cheese danish. Service is quick too. You can be in and out in five minutes.
Great new, hip addition to the neighborhood.
Sesame is perfect for quick sandwiches, delicious coffees and ice cream.
Parking is a total bitch in the neighborhood but sometimes it's worth the wait.
Cashiers and staff are friendly and very helpful.
I decided to stop by and check out the new bakery in the area. This place definitely needs to create labels for all their baked goods, it's really hard to tell what everything is. I decided to pick up a pastry to have for later, and really wanted the one with the raspberry filling. Came home to eat it later and the one I grabbed was blueberry. The pastry itself was good, but I would enjoy it more if it was the one I actually wanted.
