    Cookies and Panna
    Taryn S.

    Caffè Panna is a staple ice cream spot in NYC! Their flavors are amazing and the ice cream will always be phenomenal. The only thing keeping this from being 5 stars is: 1. The super long line 2. Constantly sold out of the flavors I want While, these are two gripes I have, if you go earlier in the day I think it solves both of these problems. However, the ice cream is actually so perfect for a nice warm day. I would recommend sitting on a stoop and enjoying with friends!

    Known for their panna (italian cream) They make in house ice cream with a diff menu of flavors every day! Youll have to check their ig story to see what flavors are available that day. I got the Caffee bianco stracciatella -- cold steeped coffee bean ice cream w/ fruity Amano chocolate shards. Panna is included and you get to choose one glaze and topping. The ice cream was creamy and delicious, but I couldnt taste the coffee. The panna was also good but just tasted like whipped cream. I rlly enjoyed the chocolate shards which added extra texture. Line was pretty long but goes by fairly quickly. I still prob waited around 40mins total at 7pm on a weekday. They unfortunately dont offer samples, and will most likely have a lot of sold out flavors by the evening. Def would come again to try some of their other flavors!

    Wow - this place is popular! Very unique and creative flavors, with coffee, affogato, sundaes, and gelato. They have a nice corner location, but there's no seating nearby. There's always a ton of people standing around eating with nowhere to relax.

    Stopped here along our walk after lunch. So glad we did. It was cold out and they had a nice covered area to enter and order at the window. I got the affogato which was perfect. My family got some of the ice cream. It was good. I think we should've gotten the signature item or the sundaes. We have to go again.

    super decadent, creamy, and luxurious ice cream. they always have been sold out of the limited scoops when i go even on week nights, so i would really want to go in the early afternoon to try them. i will say out of the classic scoops i have tried, my favorite is the red flag. always get the free panna! line is long but it goes by fast and i would definitely wait in line for it.

    Came here on a lovely 60 degree Saturday afternoon around 2 pm. The line was incredibly long, quite far down the sidewalk but it was a lovely day so it was a pleasant wait. The people working here are also incredibly efficient so no major complaints. All the flavors sounded great but the caramel corn stood out to me. I ordered this with panna, olive oil drizzle, and a graham cracker crumb topping. I got a regular but in the future I'd happily get a mini since with the toppings the amount is quite generous! The ice cream was ready very quickly. It tasted great, panna has a great texture, the ice cream flavor was delicious, and the toppings really added a lot of taste. There's no place to sit around the restaurant so most people stand around by the side walk or walk to a local park if the ice cream manages to last that long. Will be back!

    I think the hype is definitely worth it! Expect a long line and no seats but a great summer pick me up to take and eat at the park. My advice is arriving right when it opens because other wise flavors sell out quickly. Fun new flavors every week! And even pints for home.

    been meaning to try them forever but the lines always deter me. During the recent snowstorm, I got treated to their Tiramisu Sundae special (so she could live vicariously through my experience). It looked WILD on their Instagram and tasted as heavenly as I could have hoped. thick mascarpone infused ice cream, fresh panna, a candied ladyfinger, dusted w/ good espresso powder. I don't even like or drink coffee but love tiramisu. I just haven't had it in forever because the last few have been so disappointing. I knew there would give me hope and it did! I'll definitely have to brave the lines to try more of their flavors and specials!

    Stopped by Caffe Panna near Irving Place/Union Square on a weekday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too crowded and had a short line, so easy in and out. There's no seating, so it's definitely more of a grab and go spot. The menu rotates flavors. I got a DIY sundae with a flavor called Ashes ice cream, caramel, whipped cream, and sprinkles - super good textures and honestly really good. That said, it came out to about $7.08 for the "tiny" size (That's what it's called). Service was quick and efficient, though not the warmest vibe from the staff, but nothing that really took away from the experience. It really is such nice blend of textures. Overall, unfortunately for my wallet and my stomach it lived up to the hype. 4.5/5. I'll definitely be back to try more of their rotating flavors. TLDR: Lived up to the hype - creative, delicious, a little pricey for the portion

    Finally tried Caffè Panna since it's been getting so much hype in the ice cream world. I stopped by after dinner for my friend's birthday to grab a quick dessert. The line looked a little intimidating at first, but it moved pretty fast. I waited about 5 minutes and got my ice cream in a cup within another couple of minutes. I ordered the cookies and cream, because you really can't go wrong with that flavor. It tasted amazing. The texture is what really stood out. It's incredibly soft, fluffy, and melts in your mouth. It almost doesn't feel like a typical dense ice cream consistency. It's super smooth and creamy. Overall, definitely worth the hype and a great spot to stop for dessert after dinner.

    I tried Cafe Panna at Eeeeeatscon because it's allegedly a New York staple. It was really good, and I'm glad I tried it. I ordered the black and white affogato, which was surprisingly one of the only coffee options throughout the entire festival. I dont regret getting this choice at all. It only made me want to try more of their menu. The ice cream itself was amazing, though the hot espresso naturally made everything melt very fast. I loved the wafers they used. Every element complimented each other very well.

    It was so busyyyy and by the time I got here they only had vanilla left. So many friends told me this is the best ice cream in NY so ofc I came to try. Not sure if it was busy but I feel like this is pretty standard ice cream? For some reason tasted a little like soft serve to me. Their panna is pretty delicious tho. Someone did tell me their soft serve is better? So maybe I might agree with the hype more if I got to try the soft serve

    This place has been at the top of my husband's NY list of places to try! We stood in line and both ordered a scoop of the Caffe Bianca Stracciatella: coffee bean infused ice cream with Amano Chocolate shards. He had his with whipped cream, caramel sauce and sea salt. I had mine with whipped cream, fudge and Oreo sprinkles. Both were INCREDIBLE!! I loved the tiny crunchy shards of chocolate and the whipped cream. We agreed that it truly was one of the best scoops of ice cream either of us have ever had.

    I'm confused: one of the comments said there was no seating, but a photo showed tables and chairs. Does the Cafe Panne in Manhattan have seating? If not, is there a place nearby where one can sit outdoors? Not in Grammercy Park!

    I did not see seating.

    Is there restrooms available?

    Is this the slowest line in the world?

    For GREAT gelato- you will wait patiently. Capeesh?

The cookie I was most excited for was the corn cookie and the chocolate chip also looked really good. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by the black & white cookie because for some reason I thought it was a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips, but it was actually just a regular cookie with black and white chips lol. The cookies themselves were really solid though. Nice light crisp around the edges with a chewy center without being overly gooey or underbaked. Definitely on the thicker side too, which I liked. Next time I'll have to try one of their espresso drinks!

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
