A GAugust 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...
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.
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.
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!
Excellent cafe. Good for breakfast, lunch, light dinner, or desert, and the coffee is excellent. It is filled with beautiful art. The music is subdued and good for conversation or contemplation.
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.
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.
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).
Katherine CudmoreOctober 23, 2018Had a lavender latte which was an autumn special-gorgeous! The apple crumb cake (photographed) was so also gorgeous and very festive! Gorge 💖
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.
nikkiJanuary 8, 2017tiny tables crowded into crevices. intimate and full of character. bright young staff serves up delicious desserts and the original cappuccino.- 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!
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.- 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
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.
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.
Lily ZJanuary 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.
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.
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!
Lawrence L.January 8, 2015Obviously a tourist attraction because of its history but it still serves a decent cappuccino.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
The BigBDecember 21, 2022Somehow it’s going down the hill. The Pecan-Pie still tasted great, but it was really a miniature of the way it used to be. But the price was up to 7 $ of course. Disappointing.
Jordin SmithFebruary 11, 2020The rose lemonade is soooooooo delicious and the desserts are so lovely. The atmosphere is great.
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.
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.- ColmApril 22, 2012Delicious Pecan Pie with ice cream. And the only place outside of Sicily I've found serving a Granite latte!
Marie La RueDecember 13, 2018As old New York as it gets. If you’re looking for nostalgia and a cup of coffee/glass of wine.
classic, cheap, nostalgic, and easy to spend time in.
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.
- 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
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
Briana WuagneuxMarch 26, 2012Go for the sweets and the coffee and the atmosphere, not the real food. I wouldn't brunch here again...
MNZ .August 10, 2014We had a late night coffee to keep us going and a tiramisu. Good espresso but tiramisu was not the best..
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.
