Cappuccino Gino

I was on my way to work when I passed this cute spot called Cappuccino Gino. It looked so cozy and inviting from the outside that I couldn't help but stop in. I’m so glad I did! I ordered a coffee and a chocolate croissant, and it was absolutely amazing—one of the best I’ve had lately. The atmosphere inside is just as charming as the storefront. Server Sel was incredibly friendly and made the visit even better. Interestingly, they serve more than just great coffee; they also have a selection of wine and cocktails and even host a happy hour.

This has quickly become my favorite neighborhood coffee shop. The drinks and snacks are great, and Salvador is an attentive and friendly barista. They’ve been a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and I’ll keep going there more

Sweet little spot in midtown to enjoy drinks and coffee. The owner is super friendly and accommodating. Try the espresso old fashioned while you're there.

What a gorgeous little cafe, such a friendly server and great coffee! Loved the decor and vibe, so cozy on a cold NY day.

This place is a lovely little oasis to sit and have a cup of coffee to start your day or glass of wine to end your day. The plush cute interior makes it a good “let’s grab coffee” spot. The guy at the counter (Gino?) is super friendly and hospitable. The coffee is great and I enjoyed a lovely ham&cheese croissant last time I went.

Wow!!! Authentic Espresso straight from Italy. Close your eyes and you’re in Puglia 🇮🇹. Franco was an excellent host! Spoke Italian as well. I’m a coffee connoisseur, for me to give this place 5 stars says a lot!

EDIT: When I say this place ceases to amaze me, I mean it. The owners are incredibly kind, sincere and heartfelt 😭 You can tell they take a lot of pride and joy in their shop and their customers. After having a bad experience with a server and writing a review ( the server pushed espresso martinis on me and my colleague during our lunch break, up-charged me for an iced cappuccino), they took time out of their day to contact me. They apologized on behalf of their server and gave me a refund for the iced cappuccino. They heard me out on the situation, and really listened. They even said to come back in this weekend for an iced cappuccino on them. I’ve been coming to the spot for over a year now and it seriously is one of my favorite spots. I think it will forever be that way. If you have a quick New York minute, this coffee shop will be worth all of your time. The owners really try to create a little piece of Italy and it shows. I will definitely be back! ☕️

Fantastic coffee. Fantastic. There's not many great coffee places in this area. Totally nailing it. Go if you are in the hood.

Italy but in Manhattan. I walked into Italian speaking across the cafe making you feel like you are in Rome forgetting my worries outside. It's a quiet hide away off Madison that I look forward to going to more as I'm working in the area.

Had a strange experience here. There was a pop up at this location. We came here under the impression there was complimentary drinks and bites, if you look at the flyer on pulsd. First 50 people got free swag. So my party and I said down. We got our swag bags. Pretty cool stuff, we were asked what we would like to drink. We ordered then we're told we had to pay. The server says oh we made your drink you have to drink it. Like, no we actually didn't. He immediately got rude, so we cancelled So when he saw we were getting up to leave he took the "bites" away. The bites were square school lunch slices. Next time you have an event be clear because it was under the free section. The vibes were not vibing and the spot was too small for an event like this, why take the bites away. There was a face roller, candy, and the flatter face presser. Needless to say I threw out the coupons to go back for 50% off. Such a strange pop up. The Riva Jewelry was in a tiny space in the corner. This event was improperly setup.

Cute coffee shop with a very European/Mediterranean feel. From the stocked bar behind the coffee bar, to the music they were playing, I could almost picture like I was in a quaint Mediterranean cafe and not midtown. I tried their iced Americano with milk and am a fan. I only wish they had more food/snack options

Cafe was excellent! We stayed close by and stopped everyday for a coffee in the morning! Franco was great to talk to gave us plenty of places to try out in town. In the afternoon you can stop by for a cocktail. My wife had the Negroni! Suggested by Franco and she loved it. Small nice quaint spot that describes New York City in a quick cup of Joe. Gracias for the great coffee and conversation. Till we see each other again!

Not really sure if I had a bad experience or it was just a one off for Cappuccino Gino but I did not have a good experience here. When I went in, two staff members were just sitting on the couch and didn't look like they wanted to get up to help me until I walked up to the counter. I was the only customer there and didn't necessarily feel welcomed. I didn't even realize my drink was made and on the counter until I saw the man who took my order leave the cafe to go outside which is probably my fault because I was on my phone but still, a "hey your drink is done" would have been nice. Not holding that against them though because I definitely could have been more aware. I got an ice latte with skim milk and there was no coffee taste. It tasted watered down and the color of the drink was a dull grey-brown, so not appetizing in the slightest. It definitely felt like I wasted my money because the drink was $10 for 16 oz which is very expensive even for Manhattan. I do not recommend.

Cappuccino Gino (and Vino) is a must for locals and tourists with a demand for exquisite espresso in a bespoke Italian style bistro setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our cappuccinos and complimentary espresso thanks the Damaris. Note the cafe door is actually 28 E 33rd.

Unfortunately, this place was a disappointment, which is a shame because the space itself is cute. But $7 for a small cappuccino? That's way overpriced, especially since it barely had any coffee, tasted burnt, and was mostly milk. I also asked for a glass of tap water, and while the woman behind the counter initially said yes, she never actually gave it to me. I stood there awkwardly for what felt like three minutes while she was on her phone before realizing she had no intention of following through, so I just gave up and sat down. I understand this is a small local business, but overcharging customers for a mediocre product won't help them survive. At that point, people will just head to Starbucks or the Gregory's Coffee a few doors down. They need to give customers a real reason to come back and overpriced, subpar coffee isn't the answer.

I've been coming hear for my dose of expresó for a few months now. The place feels warm and comfortable for me. I'm always welcomed and greeted. I've had a few different servers and they are always nice. The expresó is excellent. I definitely need to try something else on the menu.

I live next door and have been meaning to stop by for weeks. The owners are super sweet and accommodating. I got an iced matcha latte and it was delicious. I'm really sensitive to caffeine and they said that they would be more than happy to make me a decaf coffee on my next visit. I will definitely be back in. Thank you for your kindness!

They have Great coffee. But the service is terrible unfortunately. Too expensive also.

I was excited to give this spot a chance knowing it was newly opened in the area. I love trying new coffee shops and this one seemed promising by the looks of it. I walked in and was greeted in a friendly manner by the staff. There were 3 employees and no customers when I walked in. The place seemed relatively clean except for a coffee bean boxes near the ordering kiosk and the one table that hadn't been cleared yet. I ordered a regular cappuccino (8oz) with skim milk & a dash of cinnamon ($6.53). Somehow it was ready before I even completed my payment and upon the first sip, I knew I wasn't going to be able to finish it because of how bad it was I've had bad coffee/espresso before, but this beat it by far. The coffee tastes extremely burnt with a terrible aftertaste. Not sure if it was the way it was prepared or the beans themselves, but I don't think I'll be coming back here. Disappointed to say the least.

The price board doesn't actually reflect all the size prices. Ended up with an iced mocha that cost me $10. That's crazy. Not coming back here again. Will warn other of the other price points. Coffee tastes burnt as well, so definitely not worth the price. Have a sign with ALL your prices or your customers will feel a fool.

Quite simply the best coffee I've had in New York. I got a caffe macchiato which came in a chunky glass, classic. Added a delicious little almond bite. Interior is cute and the service was impeccable.

I had a great experience here. I got a latte and my friend had a matcha, both were perfect. The people working there were so friendly. I love their mascot Gino, just seeing that cutie in the logo brightens my day every time I pass by

super friendly owners and staff, great menu with high quality coffee and matcha (god i love matcha), and swanky modern decor. highly recommend to swing by for a cocktail in the evenings, too! their espresso martinis are so good
