    Leave it to the bohemian Greenwich Village Caffe Reggio to brew coffee the way mom used to make it—hot and then over ice. It's a great cup with the right amount of bitterness and a medium body. Read more

    These 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...

    Huge 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.

    Caffe 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.

    That 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.

    A 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).

    Had a lavender latte which was an autumn special-gorgeous! The apple crumb cake (photographed) was so also gorgeous and very festive! Gorge 💖

    The 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.

    Cheese 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!

    NYC'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.

    I 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.

    Cute 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.

    The 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!

    Obviously a tourist attraction because of its history but it still serves a decent cappuccino.

    The 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.

    Good 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.

    Quaint 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.

    Cappuccino. 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.

    Hazlenut 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

    Somehow 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.

    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.
