    Cousy place two tables and a small counter.. most people pick up and leave. Loved the fact that they still serve using ceramic cups, as i have paper cups. Ordered cappuccino and tried a slice lemon cake that was offered for free.. the order was delicious. I loved coffee flavor. It is to my liking. Definitely coming back again. I will try their sandwiches.

    I will dream of the day I get to come back here! I live in Tokyo and there are many great coffee shops here. I keep searching for a decent one in NYC and finally found a GOOD TASTY coffee and bakery in Masseria!! Great flat white, latte and cortado. Ham cheese Panini was awesome (im sure their name is more refine than this) But this cafe is unpretentious, not pack as the trendy spots around. they have counter seating and semi outdoor with a heater. This is great for quick bites, great savoury and sweet options. also coffee are creamy! (not watery like the rest in NYC)

    Very small coffee shop with terrace. Took americano with double shot of expresso, no milk or sugar. Coffee’s really good without any bitterness, although I prefer it a bit stronger. The chocolate-banana muffin was so fresh and delicious!

    Excellent place for a quick bite. They have a little of everything and my favorite apple juice. The staff was courteous and quick to fill my order for four people. There is some seating outside. I recommend this place for those on the go or to take back to the hotel.

    I ordered the ricotta cheese cake, raspberry tart, lemon meringue tart, and the cannolini (I think?) Ricotta cheese cake - rich dairy cream flavor, do not mistake this for a NY style cheese cake. It's less dense, no tartness, and very tasty. The crust is nothing special. I'd get this again. Raspberry tart - this is a jam-style tart, the filling is basically pure raspberry preserves with seeds. The texture was a little too much like eating preserves out of a jar for my tastes, it's pretty dense. Also a bit too sweet. Very concentrated raspberry flavor though Lemon meringue - classic, textbook lemon meringue. Good balance of tartness and sweetness in the lemon curd, the meringue was very stable and didn't weep overnight. Perfect. Cannolini - the outside is a very airy dough of sorts, similar to a croissant but it's crisp and breaks into chunks rather than shattering. The filling has a strong hit of lemon which is good but the ricotta doesn't shine like in the classic cannoli (shoutout to Boston's north end). They are filled to order though which I appreciate. The guys at the counter were nice and the prices were fair. I think the cheese cake was 4.50, tarts maybe 3.50? and the cannolini was $2

    A really nice bakery! A little crowded if more than one person is in there, but for a quick grab and go it is a good spot! Delicious cookies too!

    The place is small but it has few tables outside so that's a plus. I got a Caprese sandwich ( hot ) and was pretty good 8.5 out of 10 . The price was $12. Size pretty good.

    Quick & friendly service paired with gourmet breakfast and coffee/beverage options. Conveniently located in the theatre district right off Times Square. The sister restaurant located next door is a very good upscale option too

    I loved this cafe . Literally the best of New York, the cornettos were heavenly . And the coffee tasted the same as in Rome . They literally have the same cups . You can see in my first picture the one of this location and in the second one the one from Italy

    That was the best mocha latte I have ever had in my life. Thank you staff for such a fun quick experience while ordering. The atmosphere is amazing.

  • 5/5 Mama D. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a wonderful cappuccino there this morning and am already looking forward to my visit again tomorrow. Very friendly staff, extremely fast service and wonderful pastry offerings in the case (even though I didn’t indulge. Yet!). Best part of the hotel we chose is the location of this lovely coffee shop!!

  • 4/5 Emily M. 1 year ago on Google
    Didn't try any of their baked goods (although they looked good!), but the latte was great! Coffee-forward without any bitterness or burnt-flavor. It is a VERY tiny shop, while still being quaint with lots of charm. There is also a nice little outdoor patio area which provides additionally seating.

    Really nice bakery items, especially liked the focaccia. Prices are reasonable. The croissants/cornetti are good and not too sweet. If you just stepped off a plane from Europe, you’ll be disappointed. Despite the taste, the consistency isn’t great. Location itself isn’t great either and staff not super friendly.

    First time visit. Cute coffee shop, great muffin, not too sweet. Good coffee. We come back.

  • 5/5 Andrejs Z. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing local coffee place in the area! Great coffee, pastries, sandwiches and salads. My personal favorite is Girella, pastry with raisins. Their coffee is also great with plenty non-dairy alternatives and decaf! Not to forget to mention - staff are very friendly and efficient at all times, even when it’s very busy!

    Surprisingly great and reasonably priced coffee in the Theatre District. I came in for a quick coffee and ended up with a well made cappuccino that actually reminded me of Italy, which is hard to find in NY. I'm happy to know this place exists when going to see shows in the area.

    The cappuccino was delicious! I also got a caprese panino that was amazing, especially the flavor of the tomatoes. You can tell that the quality of the ingredients is great!
