Savor Coffee and More<\/p>\n
A popular Riverdale coffee and brunch spot is coming to the Upper West Side. Savor Coffee and More<\/a> is preparing to open at 621 Amsterdam Avenue, between West 90th and 91st streets. (Thanks to Stefanie Haft for the tip.)<\/p>\n It will be the second location for Savor, whose original shop on Riverdale Avenue is open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. and bills itself as a one-stop place for breakfast, brunch, coffee, and cocktails. We\u2019re told the location will be open as of Tuesday, June 16 at 7 a.m. <\/p>\n The current menu leans well beyond coffee. Mornings cover build-your-own waffles and crepes with fruit or Nutella, a pair of avocado toasts (one with mozzarella and balsamic, one with feta and olives), and an English breakfast plate with eggs, Swiss, and a choice of bacon or turkey bacon. There is also a roster of salads, from a basic house and Caesar to a spring mix with strawberries and goat cheese and a burrata plate with grilled eggplant.<\/p>\n The lunch and dinner side is where the kitchen stretches the most. Sandwiches and wraps include a pesto chicken on ciabatta, a tuna sandwich, and a Savor burger topped with a fried egg and chipotle mayo. There are several panini and a few flatbreads, among them a truffle version with mushrooms and parmesan and a buffalo chicken one. Heartier plates run to grilled salmon over mashed potatoes, house chicken strips, and qofte, three meat patties served with a white sauce and cabbage salad. A short Mexican grill section adds tacos and quesadillas with a choice of steak, chicken, or fish, and the kitchen also turns out charcuterie boards.<\/p>\n For anyone there mainly for the pastry case, Savor stocks croissants, muffins, and a long list of desserts, including several cheesecakes, tiramisu, eclairs in four flavors, and Italian cakes like hazelnut torta and pistachio ricotta cheesecake. <\/p>\n The caf\u00e9 has been promoting the new location on Instagram<\/a> over the past week, calling it a coffee, brunch, and pastry spot and telling followers it is \u201ccoming soon.\u201d A follow-up post framed the move as an expansion: \u201cTwo locations.
