Description

From 9am to 4am, Cake Shop serves warm coffee and the sweetest indie rock in town. You can take your music live downstairs or enjoy excellently curated mp3s upstairs over one of the bakery's winning cupcakes. The cozy atmosphere, warmly attributed to trailer-type wood-paneled walls, and invitingly dingy performance space arrayed with holiday lights gives this hipster haven a particular chic that perhaps has to do more with the pastries than the tunes. Here you can have your music and eat it too.

2009 | Best Gay Hipster Rock Party

The bears have Chelsea, the twinks have Hell's Kitchen, the dykes have Park Slope, and the hipster queers have Williamsburg . . . and the Lower East Side Amid scantily clad, possibly roofied blondes and their former-frat-boy boyfriends, a gaggle of tight-pantsed (or no-pantsed) indie- and punk-loving queers make their mark once a month on the increasingly vapid nightlife scene on the LES. In 2007, promoter Sir Loins, DJ Go-Karff, and bass player A.Martini started QxBxRx (Queers, Beers &... More »

Not only do they have amazing shows for very cheap covers, BUT they also make the best cappuccino I have had in the city
