Good place. No frills. No fancy decor. Just decent knishes. A bit overpriced but I guess they can be on account of being instagram famous. Items were OK. The blueberry cheesecake was to die for, but the others were meh... especially the mozzarella jalapeño, which was a huge letdown.
Go once. Post it on instagram. Then move on.

Finally got to try this place after months of passing by, and either missing opening times, or having an appetitie. Got to the shop at around 4 pm and the potato knish ran out.
We got Kasha (buckwheat), mushroom, red cabbage, and vegetable, all to-go. We got home to Heat it up first by microwave 1 minute, then toasted it for 5 minutes which worked out perfectly.
First bite was into Kasha...delicious! So much better than I expected and than it looks. As were the rest. Especially with the portable cups of mustard. The red cabbage and Kasha werethe stars. Next time would try the sweet potato one.
