Apple Pie Bakery Café

CIA has wonderful restaurants and the Apple Pie Bakery Cafe offers delicious lunch and dessert options. My only suggestion is to have more of the choices available until actual closing time. We got there around two o’clock and some of the salads, wraps, and other choices were all gone. Would definitely say it’s a must see and have their delicious and tasty lunches and dinners! Visit The Egg too! We had breakfast and had a beautiful view of the Hudson River. We loved reading all of the clever banners along the campus’ streets. We will certainly be back! Loved it!

Edit: This was a 5 star review. But this is NY and it has come to my attention that they are engaging in bagel blasphemy. My wife went to purchase bagels there one morning. She asked for them toasted with cream cheese. She was told that all of the bagels are pre-toasted and all have cream cheese on them already. She asked if, and they clarified that, they are indeed cold, toasted bagels that have been sitting with cream cheese on them. They cannot be toasted again. I don't care if this is the CIA. This is New York. If you're going to sell bagels, do it right. Toast and top TO ORDER, YOU ABSOLUTE HEATHENS. Everything else? They're desserts from the CIA. The definition of tasty.

The food is excellent. I only went to the take out side to get a cake and some bread. The staff are all students except for the gentleman at the register. I'm sure the students are excellent chefs (afterall this is the CIA), but their social interactions are sorely lacking. The man at the register is delightful and funny. I can, however, vouch for the bread and the blackout cake. Delicious!

First time coming here I have to say it was good. The pastry/dessert is amazing... Hubby and I split the Bourbon Bundt cake....so good couldn't even get a pic of it .It wasn't overly sweet and had this cream cheese frosting dollop...so good. My husband had a reuben which was good, nothing extraordinary, we had truffle fries which were awesome, had the right pinch of salt, but I ordered a crab cake which I was very disappointed. It was one cake which was big by itself, it was so bready and hard on the outside it was just odd.... I thought for this to be a culinary place it would be more Maryland crab cake like, but it was not. If your really into crab cakes I would defintely skip it. I am not sure if it was just off since we got them right before closing. The Mac and cheese was something we tried also , it's not a southern mac and cheese but it's a very nice combination of cheeses that are used, it's a gourmet mac and cheese, only suggestion is that it could be more seasoned. If in the area I would come back, or if you pass through it's cute experience and spot to come too. Focus more so on bakery items. The staff was super nice.
