    Cinico is easily my favorite coffee spot in the area. There's plenty of seating, though it can be a little tricky to navigate with a stroller. It's best to bring a folding one and leave it by the door so you can sit comfortably at one of the many two-person tables. The flavored croissants are the standout for me because they're filled generously, far more than you'd expect. So many places offer Nutella croissants with barely any filling, but Cinico gives you a truly satisfying portion. The coffee is excellent, and my wife always enjoys the avocado toast, which is also served in a generous portion. A warm, welcoming place with great coffee, delicious food, and thoughtful service. A must-visit if you're in the neighborhood.

    Food/drinks: pretty good! Tried their tiramisu cold brew, the cold foam on top was more like a thick cream but still tasty! Would come back to work and try their pastries Atmosphere: LOTS of seating, good for working! WiFi is strong Service: really friendly service Price: $$$ pricey it was ~$10 for my cold brew

    We ran into this little coffee bar while walking with my nieces to get some NYC souvenirs. From the arrival the place felt inviting and warm and the staff were friendly. I asked the barista what they recommended as a sweet treat and they suggested the Caramellino and let me tell you it was equally as beautiful to look at as it was to taste! They had a menu with several food items that sounded, and looked, tasty but I was just there for the coffee. My nieces were equally as impressed by the presentation of the drink. They had a very nice size seating area past the bar and had window bar seating by the entry so it was a lot larger than it seems. The cost is a bit higher but you're paying for the experience of an elevated coffee and the presentation and taste definitely made it worth the cost. Give them a try, I'd definitely take them over Starbucks!

    My friend and I stopped by Cinico for a mid-day coffee. There is an option to order at a kiosk, which was convenient! This Italian coffee shop is known for their CAPPUCINICO drink, but I opted for a COLD BREW (5.50) after a heavy lunch. The cold brew came in a tall 16 oz. glass if you dine-in. I thought it was way too bitter (over-steeped, maybe?) and there was no lasting aftertaste that made it bearable. The interior itself is spacious and roomy with many seating areas that's comfortable for co-working or catching up with a friend.

    Flaky croissant and yummy coffee, definitely a good stop to make in the morning. It has a cute seating area if you want stay to enjoy your meal

    So here's some info to put your expectations in the right place. The service was incredible. They are here to serve. Friendly, respectable, capable. The walls are a well done faux finish - it's not concrete. Some things come in plastic ware. If that's an issue for you, I'd just let them know I'm sure they will accommodate. I would go early - esp if your party is more than two. The coffee was delish and beautiful. They have a great menu. Some work was being done on the hvac and the ceiling was open but it wasn't even noticeable, I only saw it on the way out. So they are keeping it pretty tidy- I imagine things are continuing to improve. Some of the pics make it look giant inside but it's cozy. Even crowded the noise level was still low enough for decent conversation.

    Cinico isn't horrible, but it isn't great. It photographs well, so my expectations walking in were very high from previous review pictures. Everything looks like it should be high-end, especially being on Madison Avenue, but when you see it in real life it doesn't feel as lux as you were expecting. My latte came in a plastic cup, which was surprising. The pastries were pretty good, though my sandwich was very salty. I'm not sure if it was the prosciutto or eggs that were over salted, but I could only eat half of my sandwich. The staff were very friendly. For the price point, Cinico was not worth it in my opinion, both for experience, atmosphere, and food. At about 10am on a Wednesday it was extremely crowded, though I'm not sure why. Perhaps if I didn't have any expectations, my first experience would've been better.

    Latte with hazelnut
    Miley D.

    We ordered a flat white and a latte with hazelnut. The service was wonderful. From the moment I stepped in the lady barista greeted me warmly and helped me. I even had questions and she didn't rush to answer questions. And I noticed while I was waiting for my drinks, she said goodbye to every person who walked. I loved the vibe. I would definitely come back and sit to do work. Super cute place. Our drinks were great! Hit the spot for our early morning!

    Lunch special
    Katarina L.

    A comfortable, upscale and absolutely stunning cafe! I turned to Yelp while in the city to find a cafe I could grab a coffee, lunch and also take my laptop out and get some work done. Luckily, my trusted app pointed me here. They had plenty of inside seating, both along the counter at the window and tables, and even some tables outside. The lunch combo caught my eye, so for $20 I got an incredibly delicious focaccia sandwich and a creamy cappuccino. La Rustichella came with smoked turkey, brie and grilled artichoke. The bread was so crispy, covered in rosemarry and a little oil. Oof, it was good. The baristas and servers were lovely, helpful with recommendations, wifi passwords, never rushed me after I finished my meal. Honestly, it was a great find. A solid place for an affordable solo lunch, coffee and a bit of work.

    I've only recently started drinking coffee, so on our last day in New York City, I knew I wanted to grab as special and fancy a cup as I could find. We'd just finished breakfast and were walking to our next destination when we stumbled upon Cinico. They had plenty of promising concoctions on their menu, but I was drawn to the Cappuccinico ("our interpretation of the classic cappuccino with shaved dark chocolate flakes, garnished with 24K gold leaf"). At $11, it's obviously the most expensive coffee I've ever tried. But you know what? It was worth the cost because it's one extravagant, delicious cup of joe. The coffee itself is really flavorful and rich, while the other components, including small chewy coffee beans, enhance the experience. Plus you get to feel fancy drinking flakes of gold. I'm glad we took the time to stop into Cinico. The service was great, and it's a cool little place.

    White Velvet Latte (left) Espresso Tonic (right)

    Cinico is an Italian coffee shop in Midtown with a beautiful space featuring clear tables, gold accents, and a clean aesthetic. Ordering is convenient with two kiosks for customization, but you can also order directly with the baristas. *Espresso Tonic $9 | 9.5/10: double shot of espresso, tasted great, would have liked actual citrus in the drink instead of just a lemon slice *White Velvet Latte $9 | 9/10: opted for oat milk, not too sweet, strong coffee flavor, well-balanced *La Nordica $19 | 2/10: smoked salmon, ricotta, capers on focaccia, bread was not toasted, bottom was soggy, lacked flavor and complexity, expected more at this price point I'd definitely return for the coffee, but there were some mishaps. I ordered through the kiosk and paid via app, but my order never made it into their system. After 15 minutes of waiting, I had to ask about it. The barista was apologetic and offered me chocolate truffles, which I declined. It wasn't their fault, but I wish someone had checked on me instead of me having to follow up. Overall, great coffee, friendly staff, but food needs improvement

    CappuCINICO
    Stefanie C.

    Fancy cafe with plenty of indoor seating! Good for groups or working. Came here just to try the CappuCINICO. I did not pronounce it correctly, and I was quick to be corrected. Honestly it was tasty but as good as a regularly-priced latte. You're really paying for getting gold glitter everywhere. I also had the Pistachio Soufflé, which was SO good! It was filling and quite dry by itself, so I had to perfectly portion my coffee to have enough to wash it all down. I would definitely come back to Cinico for the impressive pastries and a REGULAR latte. Or one of their sandwiches.

    Rose L.

    So fabulous!! Everything is delicious!! Try it all. You won't be disappointed. We got the lunch special which is a great value. And the mini pistachio cream croissant. Omg so good!!!

I was straight up like hey I totally messed up and thought we could just walk in here, she was like you know what, let me see what we have. Lo and behold, she did have a table for us - as long as we were out in an hour and a half, which was just the right amount of time. Stepping into this place feels like you're in some secret, super special cocktail club. Decor is super high end, vibes are upscale AF.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

The bar seating was plentiful and comfortable. There is plenty of space for people to stand behind the bar or a high top tables enjoying happy hour after work. If you go at 4:30 or 5, it's a bit calmer as the after work crowd trickles in. And as the evening went on, it started to get more and more packed, and it became a really lively vibe. After my friend left for another function, I stuck around a little bit longer for a little solo dinner. I had a glass of Prosecco off the happy hour menu followed by a dirty martini, and I did request to look at their full dinner menu because there was a couple items that I wanted to try. I wanted to try the duck Ragu and halloumi cheese, both of which were absolutely fantastic. The halloumi cheese was perfectly grilled and flavorful, and the duck Ragu was very comforting. I highly recommend both dishes. I ended up chatting with a woman sitting next to me who happened to work with select apertivo, and next thing I know one of the bartenders handed me a lovely bright cocktail to try on the house. It was a refreshing bubbly Barlume spritz that I'll definitely have to get again next time. Overall, I had a really great time at Barlume. The service was excellent from the servers and the bartenders, and they were all very attentive, personable and friendly throughout the evening. I'll definitely be back for happy hour or dinner with friends!

A couple of dishes stand out, but the others are bland and unmemorable. *Blue Crab Toast: My favorite thing I have eaten here. This is a dish I would come back for on its own. The portion of blue crab is generous, and it is mixed with what tastes like curry powder, giving it an almost Asian-inspired flavor. *Mediterranean Salad: It has all the right ingredients, but it is under seasoned. It tastes like you are eating plain vegetables. *Harissa Lamb Chop: The lamb is cooked very well, but the dish is bland, like you are just eating meat. *Lobster Arrabbiata: The portion of lobster is generous, but the whole dish is one dimensional. We ate about half of it, and even had lobster leftover. The ambiance is mixed. Some parts of the restaurant are great, while others are too dark. Service is attentive.
