New York / Cafe

“We wanted to create a place where people felt at home, somewhere that people came back to often and the quality of the food shone.” – Rose Carrarini. Rose Bakery was created by Rose Carrarini and her husband Jean Charles. Great place to sit and chat with a friend, definitely try their scone with butter + jam and stroll around Dover Street Market afterwards.

A villa originally located at the foot of beautiful Yuelu Mountain, now has almost become the most chic, sprawling showcase of high-end clothing, and fashion-forward displays in Changsha, Hunan. Plus a gourmet cafe. This unique place called "之间", which means in between.
