Plowshares Coffee
About Us
Sandwiched between a convenience store and liquor store, it would be easy to miss the narrow storefront of Plowshares Coffee Bloomingdale if it weren’t for the wafting smell of freshly roasted coffee drifting out the door. Named one of the top five coffee shops in New York City by Grub Street, Plowshares is a welcome addition to the Bloomingdale neighborhood.
Opened in 2014, the coffee shop on Broadway between 104th and 105th Street is owner Anthony Kurutz’s first retail cafe. Five years prior to the Bloomingdale shop, Kurutz founded Plowshares as a wholesale coffee roasting business, providing freshly roasted coffee and espresso to cafes and restaurants in and around New York City. Working out of a small roastery in the foothills of the Ramapo Valley in Hillburn, New York, Plowshares sources, roasts, and prepares unique coffees for its growing customer base.
What makes us special?
As Nadine and Alain as well as the rest of the staff are French, Cafe du Soleil offers authentic French food. Nadine and Alain “chose dishes [their] own mothers made” for them while growing up. Everything is authentic… [yet] down to earth as comfort French food”. Having the same French staff for 6-10 years, Nadine and Alain have managed to maintain a very authentic French menu!
Family Oriented
Not only is the restaurant owned and run by Nadine and Alain, a married couple, their son runs Voila Caterers, a catering company that “came out of the kitchen of Cafe du Soleil”. Voila Caterers serves at gatherings of 10-300 people all over New York City. Furthermore, having managed to keep the same staff for long periods of time (6-10 years), the staff is another family to Nadine and Alain.
“my favorite thing about doing business in this neighborhood has been discovering how many truly talented and interesting people live in our neighborhood.”
