First-Ever Martha Stewart Café Opens

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia (MSLO) has opened its first Martha Stewart Café in New York’s Starrett-Lehigh building, home to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia’s corporate headquarters. 

The café offers handcrafted espresso beverages and teas as well as bagged coffee and tea in canisters. The menu, curated by Stewart, focuses on the finest sourced beverages and ingredients.

The Martha Stewart Café draws its menu inspiration from the artisanal cafés of Europe. Along with hot beverages, it will serve cold-brew iced coffee. The café is partnering with Kobrick Coffee, a New York-based and family-owned roaster that sourced the beans for the custom “Martha’s Blend” coffee served at the café, as well as Martha’s favorite espresso bean, which is roasted in small batches in Trieste, Italy.

Artisanal loose-leaf teas, provided by Wei Bertram of Connecticut-based Arogya Tea, are also available. These include Martha’s Breakfast Blend, a signature blend of Assam long leaf and Chinese black teas; Da Hong Pao, a legendary oolong hand-rolled and roasted in China; a nutty, subtly sweet buckwheat tea; and more.

Featured pastries will also be served at the Café, and have been selected by Stewart from her favorite bakeries, restaurants and chefs. ChikaLicious, Baked, Bien Cuit, Balthazar and more will provide selections that will vary daily.

“I am thrilled to open the Martha Stewart Café. It’s a place inspired by my world travels where anyone can come and enjoy a smooth, well-balanced, beautifully handcrafted cappuccino, latte, macchiato, or just plain Americano. In addition, you must try our artisanal teas – they are the finest available anywhere,” said Stewart, MSLO founder and chief creative officer.

The Martha Stewart Café is at 601 W. 26th St. and is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
