Kim P. • December 23, 2015A very friendly coffee shop. The deconstructed latte is actually lovely - shot of espresso, milk, and a finished latte (with a wafer + water to cleanse the palate).

DoubleDeuce • May 31, 2015Quick, smartly priced, great ingredients, fantastic americano, charming and cozy seating and a smiling and happy vibe from the employees. Great place to start a day or get a mid-day pickmeup.

Maria • November 13, 2019So cozy! Much needed addition to the East Village. This is the perfect place to cozy up with a book or post up to do some work. Mud coffee and awesome tea selection helps. Will be back!

Gagan R. • March 30, 2013If you want good vegan food in E Village, go to Lan Cafe for bombtacular vegan Bahn mi sandwiches

Kavitha B. • October 2, 2019Really lovely owners, great branding and beautiful space. Chai needs to be stronger - more spice, more tea, less milk.

Elisa • January 16, 2020Thoroughly impressed by their shrimp pasta. Also really like their pineapple mint juice. The aesthetic of the interior is also amazing. Food service was quick. Highly recommend!

Alex R. • June 21, 2022Pork chop with rice and beans and salad (n a little bit of that spicy sauce) was genuinely delicious. Liked the iced coffee too

ELSA G. • May 8, 2022Latte has probably been the first one really as it’s in Europe a latte, the scone was a bit dry.

Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guide • June 20, 2013Athough the Porto Rico coffee is authentically brutal, this Japanese-style East Village cafe provides a charming, slow-paced, lunch experience - everything is prepared with care. At night a sake bar.

Kate • October 23, 2022Loved the pandan latte. Subtle flavor

Rafik B. • June 30, 2016Healthy and light for the summer! Our Halibut special, Yammy!!!

Caroline D. • May 15, 2016Super cute, cozy cafe with a great dirty chai and ice cream sandwiches. Free wifi and it's good for working since it's in a quiet neighborhood. No outlets though!

Rishabh S. • April 16, 2017Amazing variety of delicious food and drinks. The grilled salmon quinoa bowl was bomb and my pinot grigio from tap hit the spot!! I didn't even know Caffe Bene had wine and beer; let alone on tap!

Arika S. • April 23, 2018in my top 3 of best soy lattes in the city (pro tip: the biscottis are bomb af but you have to dip them in coffee, otherwise u will lose an actual tooth).
