Sage General Store



After spending the afternoon at PS1 located in Long Island City a sweet treat was much needed. Since we were in the area we decided to make a stop at the Sage General Store a few blocks away.

Inside we were welcomed by a friendly employee who helped us curb our sweet craving by guiding us towards a raspberry cookie bar, and a homemade pink snowball. We accompanied our treats with a raspberry iced tea, and a ginger root green tea. Both deserts were deliciously sweet, almost too much so. The snowball had a very similar frosting to that of a Magnolia Bakery cupcake covered in light, crunchy coconut flakes. The raspberry bar while delicious was nothing special. To us, it was just another raspberry bar that was a bit too sweet. The drinks were somewhat warm and also too sweet. We asked for a cup of ice which helped some, but next time I'd pass on the lukewarm teas.

However sweets are not all that the Sage General Store has to offer. The actual food menu is full of local organic items such as sandwiches, salads, casseroles and many others. Though we may not be running back for their sweets, our next visit will definitely entail lunch or dinner.
