Went here with my daughter (she studied here @F.I.T.) and loved the place. It was November and cold but we sat first outside so we could say we had a cappuccino here, well I had one. My daughter had a warm spiced spiked applejuice, her favorite there. Luckily later we could sit inside. Hope to come back sometime but we're from The Netherlands, so it will take some time I'm afraid.
Great little place to visit for hot drinks. I had the Granola yogurt with a hot chocolate and it was delicious. People also come in to take picture of the inside so could be busy. Will come again soon!
Amazing place. Lots of history behind everything here.. Food is nice too.
Amazing, historic Cafe in the village. Apparently the first U.S. cafe to serve the Cappuccino? Beautiful atmosphere, easy to get a spot despite a big crowd, cheap and yummy menu items. Highly recommend.
Caffè Reggio feels like stepping into another era rich dark wood, vintage espresso machines, and an old‑world elegance that’s both charming and genuine. There’s history in the air, but nothing feels museum‑like just inviting and unpretentious. Coffee here is ceremonious, poured with a quiet confidence. Whether it’s a creamy cappuccino or a bold espresso, every cup tastes like it’s been crafted by hands that respect tradition. Stand outside on the street-facing bench or inside at one of their small marble-topped tables, and take your time this place encourages an unhurried moment in the heart of the city. It’s a hidden refuge for anyone who wants richness in flavor and simplicity in experience.
Unbelievably gorgeous and authentic Italian coffee house in the heart of Greenwich Village. Not only will you enjoy your coffee in this tiny museum full of Renaissance era paintings, but you are also sitting in a historical site with the original cappuccino machine, the first in the United States. The coffee is extraordinary the staff is amazing.

If you want to step back in time do yourself a favor and go to Cafe Reggio! So quaint it’s unbelievable! I had a cappuccino along with their tiramisu and I was very pleased.
My visit to Caffe Reggio was unforgettable. The vibes are classic and cozy, the food is delicious, and the coffee is great. The service is warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. If you’re in New York, this spot cannot be missed, a true must try experience.
Cute place and cute atmosphere. We enjoyed the covered outside seating and the coffee was made well and tasted good. It did not upset my stomach which is huge for me, and that’s with good coffee beans! I thought it was funny the bathroom was a slice of the wall, tiny toilet, room for one leg. I genuinely thought it was funny and not being from NY (as you can tell) a cute experience.
