Historic NYC coffeehouse, timeless ambiance, late-night caffeine.
Sonal Shah reviews Caffe Reggio, a Greenwich Village coffee shop famed for its historic ambiance and late-night coffee service, perfect for a quiet coffee or a light bite.
Step into a piece of New York history at Caffe Reggio, a Greenwich Village institution established in 1927. Famous for its dark, cozy ambiance with a tin ceiling and Renaissance bench, it's a spot that transports you to another era. While the coffee isn't made on their original machine, it's still served until late hours, making it perfect for a quiet moment or people-watching. Complement your drink with a classic tiramisu or cannoli, though it's best enjoyed for coffee and light bites rather than a full meal.
