What I wrote thereFold it away

The Lazy Llama is a petite café that offers coffee, tea, and pastries, a perfect pit stop to recharge for the day ahead. True to its name, the LES coffee shop embraces a llama theme, even featuring llama-themed merchandise. Each cup bears an adorable llama logo, making it hard to part with afterward.

Although seating is limited, you can enjoy your drink at First Park across the street, where Llama At The Park, an extension of the café, offers additional coffee options from a small shack.

Bonus While you’re in the area, make sure to check out Russ & Daughters for a bagel and Katz Deli for a pastrami sandwich. The Lower East Side staples are two of the most iconic restaurants in New York City.
