    Fantastic selection of imported Italian items, from foods to home goods.
    Kathy C.

    Whether you're looking for an espresso machine, quality Italian coffee, authentic imported specialty products, or just an immersion experience, Cerini is worth a visit. Stepping into this clean, organized, well-stocked, sunny store is as close to visiting a supermarket in Italy as you can get in the BX. The products on the shelves, from pasta to olives, honey to cleaning supplies, are the items on the shelves overseas. The owners and staff are authentic, curating their inventory to cater to customers still connected to Italy. We visit monthly but have been told they have robust demand for shipping. Have also heard they offer espresso machine service and advice. Expect a well-meaning level of confusion and chaos, just as you'll find all over Italy; it's just their way. But you'll definitely leave with real deal purchases and some unexpected delicacies. They'll even share a recipe or tips if you ask. Enjoy!

    Been going here for years. They have kept up with the times and offer incredible online ordering. And now that Borgatti's is figuring out how to mail order raviolis I may never be back to Arthur Ave again, which is a shame because the Cerini store is incredible. Johnny has made coffee his life and it shows. They service machines, have the best beans, and even have a cat prancing around the place. I will always stop in and shop when I'm in the area, not just for the coffee but for all the specialties and interesting Italian gift items. I always try different stuff, but my go to is consistently the caffè Vicere. I think I need to try the moka bar next. I'm a big fan of the crema.

    I love everything about this store! They have amazing products imported from Italy, from coffee to sweets, pasta, and more, even home goods. The staff is very helpful and the prices are pretty reasonable. If you need anything authentic Italian or even just want to browse the merch, you should definitely check out Cerini.

It was the same stuff everyone else was selling, but like less variety. However, I can say their prices were a lot lower than other shops. For example, I bought a pair of pink I Love NY pajama pants for $19.99 in size small. It was the last one. I needed a medium but they didn't have one. I ended up getting it for myself and figured I'd find a size medium in another souvenir shop. Well, I did but the same pair of PJ pants was $29.99! So I can confirm the prices at this store is cheaper (at least for PJ pants). I also ended up getting a lighter for my brother in law last minute and all the lighters by the register were just meh. I bought a lame one anyways. And then just as we left the store, they had all these other cooler lighters in the window on display. Too bad none of those were actually out on the shelves.

There is a book section, a perfume and lotion section, kids toys, and plentyof NYBG merchandise. You can buy bulbs and seeds inside the shop. The live plant section has winter bushes and holiday arrangements. Staff has always been friendly and helpful when I've had questions. Most items are priced on the higher side, but there are affordable trinkets if you're looking for souvenirs. This evening they had stations outside of the shop for hot chocolate and cookie decorating. On the other side of the park they have the Holiday Train Show. It's a beautiful time for a visit.

They have a large selection of plants, planters, gardening equipment, and plant themed art and items. Most things are high quality and genuinely nice - as opposed to a bunch of stress balls and mugs stamped with the NYBG logo. There was also a large book selection, mostly with art books and plant books. They also had themed office supplies, journals, candles, and a little bit of apparel. We visited NYBG for the Yayoi Kusama exhibition, and they had a section of the store specifically for Kusama items. They had a great Kusama book collection, along with other limited edition / moderately priced souvenirs. I wish they had a little more selection with the Kusama swag, but I was happy to get some polka dot socks and t shirt. The NYBG shop was a highlight of the gardens and I'll definitely be stopping in each time I visit! PS - NYBG members get 10% off!

There were plenty of hooks to hang clothes to try on. There is plenty of room to take in a stroller for the mom's shopping with little ones. The store is spaced very well that I had no issue pushing the stroller around. The prices of the merchandise varies depending what you buy. They have a lot of the big name merch like barefoot dreams, UGG and Pura to name a few. The staff all were very nice and welcoming. They were very attentive to greet each customer and able to tidy up areas where customers shopped to keep the store looking nice. Definitely would come back again since they have some cute stuff. For the grand opening (March 29 & 30, 2025) they have free gift cards for the first 100 customers each day and also provide a breakfast treat from Grace's Marketplace. There is also a 40% off coupon online that you can stack with your purchase.
