Caffe Reggio: Reviews & Ratings
Ordered a cappuccino and the avocado and egg toast which came with either a salad or fries. I got the salad. It was fresh and very satisfying. Definitely filled me up. The cappuccino was velvety smooth and rich in flavor. The place feels like you stepped into medieval times. Definitely check it out if you're looking for a good breakfast in the Greenwich village area.
Great place, what a NYC caffe should be!!! Perfect for those visiting, or locals. Can't recommend more highly!!
Stopped by this location to get a warm drink. When we entered, the location was packed with people enjoying their coffee and conversations. We waited around 10 mins to get seated. The staff apologized, but it all good. Gotta understand it around West 4th. When one became available, the staff cleared up the table for us and sat us down. We ordered a macchiato & lavender latte which IMO I couldn't really taste any essence of lavender.. sadly. We also ordered an order of fries. They were okay, regular fries. We also ordered a tiramisu and Italian cheesecake. The space is a bit tight but everyone is in their own conversation so you just enjoy the vibe. The prices aren't that horrible in comparison to prices in the area. I think everyone should stop in at least once and enjoy the history and feel of the place.
I came here with my pal after a punk show in Brooklyn to recharge our batteries before reaching Smalls for jazz. Hands down, Caffe Reggio is one of my all-time favourite cafes. The vibes, the delicious pastries and coffee, and the fact it opens until 4 a.m.... I wish Toronto had a place like this for the community. Great & friendly service too!
Historical spot with good baked good. I always get dessert and sometime coffee. I enjoy coming here for catching up with friends and brothers. Service is standard. Ambiance is definitely historic, memorable cafe for sure.
Good tour of New York history type of place. It's awesome First place in the United States to offer cappuccinos! The owner will share stories of its history and have you served a perfect espresso Absolutely go here if in New York!
Cute spot in Greenwich village. If you grab one of the outdoor tables, it's perfect for people watching. They have a shade over those tables so you won't get too hot. Drinks are reasonably priced and they also have alcohol/food. Would come back to just chill outside. Iced Viennese Coffee - refreshing, came with a lot of whipped cream that I mixed in. Nothing too special but was a nice cool drink on a hot summer day. The bathroom is interesting - quite small but works.
