Cafe Paradiso

We came here for coffee and expected it to take only a few minutes. Unfortunately, we ended up waiting about 25 minutes for one iced coffee and one espresso. During that time, we repeatedly watched the staff hand customers the wrong orders. My partner’s espresso was prepared about five minutes before my iced coffee, but instead of giving it to him, they left it sitting on the counter to get cold. He even asked an employee whether it was his drink and was told “no!” only for that same espresso to be handed to him later. The entire experience was disorganized and extremely disappointing. We would not return.

What a great find for a pre theatre or pre opera dinner. In the Lincoln Center complex with entrance on 64th St. Menu is small but has something for everyone. Service was perfect and there was enough wine, beer and cocktail selection for every palate. We had the pizzas, soups and sandwiches which was perfect for a pre theatre dinner. Prices were NYC cheap and you can eat and drink for less than $35pp. Overall a really good alternative to the pre theatre selections in the area. We give it five google stars and 4 clams on the coveted Five Quahog Rating Scale.

The latte and sandwich was delicious. Although the sandwich is superrrrr tiny😅 but I was very disappointed with their spaghetti, as the presentation was great, but it was literally boxed spaghetti noodles and regular canned sauce…. for that kind of price point definitely was looking for at least fresh pasta.

I had an incredible experience at Cafe Paradiso! The brown butter oat latte was easily one of the best lattes I’ve ever had, perfectly balanced and unique. For food, the caprese was out of this world, and we finished with the cheesecake and cannoli, both of which were extraordinary. A huge thank you to our server, Sally, who was absolutely amazing. Her service was top-notch, and her accent added such a charming and authentic touch to our meal. Highly recommend this spot for both the food and the wonderful atmosphere

I typically don’t write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience at Cafe Paradiso. The dessert I enjoyed was told it's a new chocolate cake they have on their menu, It was simply phenomenal! It was rich and decadent, and the first bite left me speechless. I can confidently say it’s one of the best chocolate cakes in NYC. Additionally, the service was outstanding. Our waiter, Robert, was attentive and genuinely kind, making us feel right at home. I will definitely be returning!
