This is hands down the best lattes we’ve had anywhere!!! Staff is so, so nice and the whole place feels very family-like and authentic. Plus, they have vegan croissants and plant based milks!!! Visited this place every day when in NYC.
The best espresso in town! Really classic Italian espresso, you can’t go wrong with that! My Italian friend said it was exactly the same in his home town in Turin, great approval!
It's a comparatively tight space with standing bar space and sidewalk seating. Great coffee and tasty treats.
I was here many years ago. To my great surprise, not much has changed since, it felt like. Easy, no frills but elegantly friendly espresso based coffee bar, serving own coffee, teas, a variety of pastries, cannolis and sandwiches.
It was pouring buckets outside when I stepped in. This part of the city that has always remained shaded through all kinds of weather is now piled with swatches of all degrees of grey, and a deeper, unrelenting blue. Everyone that walked through the door is a regular. The barista knew their drinks, knew their life events. And the regulars wished them luck on the broken dishwasher. I was welcomed, as a silent observer, to their tight community, surviving on these streets where no one knows my name.
Enjoyed a 3-day trip to NYC and got my cappuccino on each day at Zibetto! It was that good! Pastries are fresh and amazing, but the espresso is what had me hooked.
Super small inside, but nonetheless some of the best coffee you can find near here. Quality was excellent and lots of little cookies to accompany.
Very authentic. If you're looking for a great espresso, cappuccino, or cornetto, this is the place!
Tbh I must say coffee was just fine. The milk foam was not that creamy but the cocoa powder that was added on was a plus.
Pastries were delicious, although slightly expensive.I had the apricot cookie and a vanilla cream & cherry pie. Highly recommend the apricot cookie.
The oval pie shell was good, cream filling was good too. But for the cherry.. it was literally ONE cherry, dried. So I’ll say just get the pie with only cream.
Anyway, staff was the reason I enjoy my stay yesterday. 4 stars eventually. Other wise I’ll give a 3.. still, a fine spot to take a break!
Very close to rockerfellar center. The sopresetta fontana panini is sooo delicious . Also the fresh squeezed OJ is just as delicious 😋

Great little spot near Central Park. The Cappuccino was delicious and was perfect on a chilly, rainy, foggy day in New York!
The croissant/cornetto and the little donut I ordered were a tad harder than I'd have liked, but still tasty.
The server was charming and energetic. She photobombed one of my photos below, while I was trying to snap a pic of the store hours.
There are no chairs inside, as it's very small and narrow, but there are four little stand-up shelves to lean on by the wall. Careful you don't bump into anyone in line behind you, though.
Overall, I can see this place getting packed pretty quickly on days with better weather, but it wasn't crowded at all when I went on a Saturday afternoon in Manhattan. Definitely recommending the coffee, and try your luck with the pastries. Maybe you'll fare better and get freshly baked ones.
Cappuccino was $5.05
Sfogliatelle (tiny donut holes) was $5.52 for 2
Cornetto (croissant equivalent) was $3.44.
Total spent: $18.30 with tax and everything.
4/5 stars from me
This is the ONLY Italian cafe in town. Perfect baristas, heavenly smells, and the best macchiato this side of the Atlantic. Please don’t come here because I want the morning bar all to myself .
