    Cerini Coffee is like a family to me, the best in espresso machines repair, and even sales of great chocolates, and products from Italy. Just keep in mind that this is a very busy shop, and it may take sometime to repair your machine, but once it is ready it is like new, the only one, and the best.

    I love their collection of coffee!!! And also very knowledgeable customer service. If you want to try different kinds of coffee, this is your place! We also got sardines and spreads (green olive spread, artichoke spread), also mackerel fillets, mushrooms in a jar, berries in extra dark chocolate and Kimbo coffee. I was going to buy coffee beans and a small coffee grinder, but the lady behind the counter said the small coffee grinder doesn’t grind the beans evenly and her machine behind the counter is much better. So, next time when I get a bag of beans I’ll definitely have them grind there. The highlight for me were the two cats Dolce and Zuccero. Both were just so friendly and loved the chin scratches:-)

    This is my first review, Here or anywhere else, I never thought it mattered to stop and be one of them people, The product speaks for itself ( made in Italy ) I could get it from other online institutions but Cerini Cafe in itself is an amazing business, From the products they make themselves to the rare items they import to sell, I Never been let down by there selection, What I have truly enjoyed and has me coming back month after month year after year is the customer service, I don’t know them and they don’t know me,( This country will make you think there’s a special club ) That every living Italian belongs to the same club, with a special handshake, They are located in Da Bronx NY , I am from Queens NY, That is a world away in the communities we come from. The last two orders l have made were over the phone and both orders are in the same category, Those two orders were made busiest days of the year, Christmas Eve and the following year New Year’s Eve, Every single encounter with every single person I had they treated me exactly the same, LIKE FAMILY,, It didn’t matter if it was a Tuesday in February or New Year’s Eve, The service remained the same, I don’t know if that’s the model of the business or everybody is family and that’s the way they were raised, The picture I’m posting is an order that I called in 12:30pm eastern time NYE of 2022, They answered the phone which I wasn’t surprised and instead of directing me to the website or telling me to make the order in store one of the owners got on the line and took my order within minutes and told me that the seven items not one seven items will be packaged and sent out with the next mail pick up, I sent that order to Florida and they received it today January 5, 2023 before Noon eastern time, and That was with free shipping. If only the rest of the country businesses ran like this.

    If you love your coffee, this is the place for you. They have wide selection of coffee in beans and ground. If you like your coffee to be made in French press, or machine, or old school stovetop espresso maker- they have it all. There is a demonstration station in the store, where they make coffee in different machines, so you can taste the difference. If one day I will finaly decide to get myself the coffee machine, this is the place I'm going to come for it. One star is taken off because half of the items in the store do not have a price tag. I personally prefer to know how much things cost before I go to check out.

    I like to buy ground coffee and cookies here. A lot of things to eat. Thanks!

    I can not say enough good things about Cerini. I have ordered from them a few times now and have never had an issue. Once an item was out of stock and they took the time to reach out right away and let me know instead of me finding out days later when my order arrived. Packages have come quickly (sometimes even faster than Amazon haha) and always in great packaging condition. Cerini has my business for the long run.

    Fabulous experience! I ordered some hard-to-find Kimbo coffee late on a Sunday night and it was delivered early Tuesday. Easy to order, fast delivery and well-packed product. Absolutely recommend

    We had the absolute pleasure of finding this wonderful store on our first time on Arthur Ave and stocked up on coffee, italian cookies, candy, olive oil even house cleaning products. This store has it all (including espresso machines!). We have continued to order goodies online when we can’t stop by personally and their service is unparalleled. Grazie Cerini!!!

    Johnny and his Staff are AWESOME, they packaged my few orders perfectly like Pro's so the items didn't get broken or move around inside the box & posted the parcel in a flash (like lightning), shopping from Canada is a dream come true because they do care about their Customers leaving me 100% Happy & Satisfied with ALL of my orders here! Thank You Johnny and your diligent Staff for showing a caring-side, excellency and perfection which makes Cerini a Superior Store to shop at online or in person. Always a Pleasure as you made my day once more, and I'm grateful to have found this Super-store.

    I make it a point to stop here whenever I’m visiting Arthur Ave. - Helpful friendly service with a wide selection of coffee. They have an interesting selection of Italian products for the home, kitchen, and more. They helped me pick out a new coffee I’m excited to take home. Check out the plates, and other items perfect for gifting.

    Love the people and love the store, we attended a feast and just ran in to look for something I couldn’t find anywhere… it was so very crowded but yet the two ladies at the counter made you feel comfortable… looking at all the products I started remembering all the good food growing up at my Nona’s….I found what I wanted and much more….. I recently placed an order, came quickly and in great condition…. No more downtown Little Italy for me !!!!

    Great store with very nice staff. I was able to find great coffee beans and good Italian food. I also left a coffee machine for repair. It was during COVID so it took longer than expected (and I have been told so even before dropping the machine off) but the repair was done, the machine was fully cleaned as if it was new and working great.

    My Misura biscotti and whole-wheat crackers arrived in perfect condition. Great packing and fast shipping. I will reorder very soon. Grazie e cordiali saluti. .

    If your looking for a huge selection of Italian speciality items this is the place. They’ve got to be the nicest people on earth. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and eager to tell you a recipe or tip or trick to using an item. Super place to visit. Only place to buy!! I can’t wait for my next trip!!

    I have bought parts to keep my espresso machine alive from Cerini Coffee & gifts over the years ( 15 or 20 ). I have bought switches and pumps, and asked advice when my machine was ailing. I could not be happier with the help, customer service and parts they have offered me. These people have been fantastic.

  • 5/5 Peter G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great reliable source for all sorts of hard to find coffees from Italy and beyond. Order online and I swear it arrives the next day! Prices are excellent. I visited the shop once and it was a great experience. Wish I lived closer!

    Just received my order of three “tenekedes” as we call them in Greece of 3L Greek olive oil and it’s the first time in a long time that I have been impressed with how everything was packed. It’s become the new norm to open a box and see your items just tossed in there so this was a very pleasant and welcome surprise. I am very excited that I found Cerini Coffee & Gifts so I can always get my oil delivered safely and in a timely manner all the way to Valley of the Sun in AZ. Will definitely be back to order again! Thank you :)

    Johnny Cerini helped me diagnose and repair my expresso machine by phone and text remotely even if I didn't purchase it from him. He saves you trips and/or sending your machine over for service selflessly. A gesture I will never forget and that will make me buy from him anything I need in the future. Congratulations, you are a true businessman focus on great service and long term partnership with your clients!!!!

    Wow! I was so impressed with my order from Cerini! Not only did they have everything I wanted at reasonable prices and reasonable shipping, but I even got a call minutes after I placed my order that they had just then run out of an item and had a comparable selection that was delightful. The order came at lightning speed and was packed with meticulous care. I was enjoying a taste of Italy in a couple of short days. Thank you, Cerini staff and owners, for providing unique, authentic, and well-made products. I will be returning to your site to order more.

    Cerini are my go to espresso equipment and beans supplier, with an extensive product range, excellent choice of roasts and great prices. The customer service is excellent. The overall very positive experience motivated me to write a review.
