"The cherry varenyky ($18) shows off the owners' Ukrainian roots. Made with cherry juice-infused dough, the plump, deep-red dumplings are filled with sour cherries and sit on a bed of rich vanilla cream. Close your eyes and you'll swear you're eating a really good cherry pie filling. The 'pear' ($12) is a fun trompe l'oeil dessert. A thin coating of yellow-tinged white chocolate encases the pear sauce at its center that's surrounded by whipped almond praline ganache."
"Fans of kombucha will find a friend in the kvass lemonade ($7.50). Toasted bread, sugar, yeast, and grape vinegar form the base of the drink, which is strained and combined with fresh lemon juice, sparkling water, and ice. The iced Night Bloom ($7.50) takes caffeinated beverages into uncharted territory with its combination of berry, citrus, and pomegranate juices with a splash of coffee."

The labneh salad ($18) pairs creamy labneh with blanched broccolini, grape tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes; sourdough is available as a side. Cherry varenyky ($18) use cherry juice-infused dough filled with sour cherries on vanilla cream. Desserts include a pear trompe l'oeil and a honey buckwheat cake.
