After a false start or two, the outpost of Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee in the Roxy Hotel has opened. Well, soft-opened, but it has coffee and baked goods and lots of outdoor seating—what more do you want? The menu looks like the other locations’, and the good news is that the popular doughnuts are available. I meant to ask whether everything is vegan; I’ll get back to you on that today. UPDATE: Yep, all vegan.

Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee is at 2 Ave. of the Americas (between Walker and White), 212-519-6600; jacksstirbrew.com.
