Anthony G.August 31, 2014These differently flavored iced lattes - O M G. Also, remember to bring cash. The inside is amazing, very nostalgic of an older New York. The food's a little lacking, but like I said, those lattes...
Andre LugoApril 15, 2014That was good! Cute small hole in the wall. I can imagine the locals love this place. If your in the area grab a bite. Check out the art, the machine, and the history!
The Ravioli al Pesto & Parma Panino are top-notch. The hot coffee has never been the best in town, but boy do they know how to make it iced. The bathroom has a Dante quote above it for good reason.
TAMMY GIAJanuary 2, 2015Cheese plate is yummy, tiramisu is to die for and the cappuccinos are exactly how u want them to be. I have been coming here for over 20 years and it has not changed 1 iota!
Citybeams.comJune 30, 2012Huge ancient paintings and sculptures. Antiques on the walls and small round tables with wire chairs. Cappuccino is fantastic and they have a big menu of small plates. A great place to hang out.- New York's oldest caffe, 1927, a Greenwich Village institution, sit on a Florentine bench from a Medici Palace sip your Cappuccino and admire a 16th Century Painting from The School of Caravaggio.
Untapped CitiesJuly 30, 2013Caffe Reggio's claim to fame--a 1902 cappuccino machine-- allegedly introduced the drink to New Yorkers. Check out the cafe's Renaissance-era decor as well.
William HJuly 11, 2013The chairs aren't comfortable and the bathroom could fit in an airplane, but the capuchinos are top-notch and the servers are always nice. For a real treat, try a sundae or banana split.
Everything I don't want in a cafe...slow service and cash only... But still my favorite cafe in the world, and GREAT coffee! Been here 100+ times (before I started using 4sq).
Such a wonderful place to relax, visit with friends, or get some work done in a quiet corner. Try their special hazelnut cappuccino. It was easily the best coffee drink I've ever had.
New York HabitatNovember 28, 2011A cozy, old-world café in Greenwich Village with good coffee and good food. Come here for a tasty retreat on a rainy day and get their cappuccino and uno panini.
Froggle The FrogJune 8, 2013The Verona panini was delicious! Got the panini special which was supposed to come with a soda, but upgraded to a cappuccino. Wait staff is also incredibly friendly and charming!
Mark ForscherApril 18, 2014NYC's oldest cafe, where some scenes from “Inside Llewyn Davis” were shot, still feels like it's from a different era. An eclectic mix of patrons, small tables, and surprisingly good food.
The Corcoran GroupJune 28, 2012Quaint little cafe that has become a mainstay of the neighborhood and a tourist hotspot. Still, we can’t walk by without getting an Iced Cappuccino.
Kathy LiuNovember 29, 2014Cute cafe! Had the affogato and it was delicious. The music there was perfect for a classical music lover. If you hate Beethoven or Brahms don't go.
Established 1927. Continuously operated. First caffe in the United States to serve Cappuccino. Ornate bronze espresso machine built in 1902. Some of its decor dates back to the 16th century.- Untapped CitiesJuly 15, 2013It's refreshing to see some old coffee staples of the city still alive and running. Check out Caffe Reggio's 1902 espresso machine and the Renaissance-era decor. Read more
Christopher PepeApril 16, 2013Cappuccino. Everyone else has said it already for a reason: it's fantastic. And make sure you have a little time to sit and people watch or read the paper.
Sasha SafonovaDecember 23, 2012Hazlenut cappuccino, fresh oj. These are authentic. The crowd can get loud but if you get the purple bench by the tiny window, you could spend all day- Caffe ReggioJanuary 31, 2013Breakfast special served all day: Muffin Benedict, Original Cappuccino and freshly squeezed OJ for $13.95
Mellani KimDecember 31, 2014I came to this caffe with my loved one. Its atmosphere is cozy n artistic, but not clean. However, I enjoyed their coffee, especially its vienese coffee.
Rachel PhamApril 19, 2015The space is quiet and cozy, and the service is nice. There is wifi but it requires some info, no outlets. Dim, but not bad on a sunny day when the windows are open. Tea is good.
Lily ZhangJanuary 20, 2015If you're a Berliner, you'll feel right at home with the "Lovingly decorated with stuff I found at the flea market" charm.
opposite cafe reggio is where the famous Louisa M. Alcott who wrote Little Women lives and is said to wrote that book there at that time.
NikkiJanuary 8tiny tables crowded into crevices. intimate and full of character. bright young staff serves up delicious desserts and the original cappuccino.
ColmApril 22, 2012Delicious Pecan Pie with ice cream. And the only place outside of Sicily I've found serving a Granite latte!
Candace NicholsonNovember 14, 2015Good chai latte and decent pasta dishes. The hot chocolate was awful though (tasteless). The decor is beautiful & the staff is friendly and attentive. But I don't recommend going to the bathroom here.
Lawrence L.January 8, 2015Obviously a tourist attraction because of its history but it still serves a decent cappuccino.
Brittani HarmeyerJanuary 17, 2016Must have espresso & eggs Benedict. Nyu crowd. Not too loud. Fresh ice cream. Tiniest bathroom ever.
Holly FloresSeptember 2, 2013Everything is amazing. The toast is the best I've ever had. Get the toast.
Ted PerlmutterDecember 4, 2013Admire the art on the walls. I don't think that it has changed since they shot the original Shaft here in the 1970s
Rod M.April 28, 2012Classic spot. Been in NYC since the 1920s. A must visit. The pinnolli cookies...GREAT!
Jessica RourkeNovember 29, 2010Get the cappuccino with whip cream! The service is slow, but it's the perfect place to get coffee and take your time
MNZ .August 10, 2014We had a late night coffee to keep us going and a tiramisu. Good espresso but tiramisu was not the best..
Ken S.July 9, 2014Walked by a million times but never thought of going in. This place has character. Just go in and enjoy the atmosphere.
Briana WuagneuxMarch 26, 2012Go for the sweets and the coffee and the atmosphere, not the real food. I wouldn't brunch here again...
Caroline Kay Hwa TanApril 13, 2014Opens till 2.45am. Come here for you caffeine fix during those lonely study nights as opposed to terrible Starbucks coffee.
Ernst-Jan PfauthSeptember 22, 2012Dylan used to hang out here and their espresso machine supposedly is pretty old. Sit on the terrace and watch the crowds gather for Club Wah?
Seth FaulkFebruary 6, 2012Llooking for something cold and sweet? Try the Delicioso! You won't be sorry!
classic, cheap, nostalgic, and easy to spend time in.- A Greenwich Village institution. Skip the bland sandwiches and go for the pastries.
Lauren L 🔫January 3, 2012Good coffee, desserts are okay... Wouldn't say they are worth the price. Cash only and all ATMs on the block are broken. Waiters are being rude about the fact that they did not inform about cash only
Mariya D.June 24, 2014I would describe the bruschetta as an alright arugula, tomato, moz salad on top of (not toasted) bread. The greens salad i would describe as weak.
- HashtagNYUOctober 11, 2016Study the way generations of NYU students have—with a coffee at this gorgeous Greenwich Village classic
Thomas MoNovember 10, 2013First guy didn't know how to make a hazelnut cappuccino so Victor came. And Hh fucked it up. No foam, he put sugar->milk->espresso->syrup...Learn to do your job! "Original Cappuccino" = MADE WRONG
- Have an original Cappuccino and a Sicilian Cannolo. They claim to have invented the Cappuccino here and have been open since 1927.
I feel like I'm sitting backstage at a Victorian magic show. And I LOVE IT.
Ms HeleneSeptember 26, 2016Average everything except for the historical decor and character of the place
msMarch 11, 2015Some find it charming but I feel maybe it's just kind of dark and strangely decorated? I did enjoy the affogato, though
Tip the pretty and friendly waitress! Nevermind the other one.
Carrot cake is always my favorite. Btw, the password for wifi here is 212-475-9557.
Jonathan JacksonMarch 24, 2010thanks god its open late...the service is great...the coffee is not all that good and overpriced...but, again, in the ever more bobo world of Manhattan thank god to find a cafe open late
fatimaSeptember 29, 2011There are two different prices for coffee to go and to stay. Don't know how I feel about that.
Rachel KingMarch 5, 2016Also, Inside Llewyn Davis. http://gothamist.com/2015/11/05/best_coffee_nyc.php
Andrew NuscaFebruary 18, 2010Get a late-night cappuccino and slice of Italian cheesecake and take in the (fake) Caravaggios on the wall.
You can meet the most interesting people here, but the restroom is terrible.
vitaliyAugust 7, 2015Крутое,знаковое место!!! Здесь снималось много фильмов в том числе крестный отец!!!! Очень аутентично!!!!!
- Ricardo SerioJune 28, 2014A melhor Pecan Pie de NYC! Vale muito a pena a caminhada pelo SoHo e Village com um café expresso e essa maravilhosa torta!
Erman AcarOctober 1, 2014Güleryüzlü çalışanlar, yılların birikimi, makul fiyat, italyan usulü chesecake önerimdir- leo kyivOctober 21, 2014При нагоді дуже раджу відвідати кав'ярню Reggio, що на McDougal street та зкуштувати справжне каппуччино, бо саме тут мешканцям Нью-Йорку колись цей напій був презентований)
