The Scoop
Chainsaw sits on Melrose Avenue in Melrose Hill and started life as a garage pop-up before the neighborhood turned it into a proper hub. Karla Subero Pittol, a Venezuelan-born chef and artist, first pictured a grab-and-go dessert shop, then widened the menu into savory dishes and coffee when the response demanded it. That is how a bakery ended up with a full espresso and matcha board, and the matcha holds its own next to the pie and the ice cream. Come for the pie, which is what everyone tells you, and we would tell you the drinks hold up their end of it too. It has been written up steadily since the garage days.
