Caffè Panna

Mike Chau 2 months ago

The best ice cream shop in NYC and it’s not even close. I go every single week for the two rotating sundaes, and it’s still not enough. I miss the days when I would go 5-6 times a week. Both the soft serve and hard scoops are top tier and if you complain some of the flavors are too sweet, then get the other 10 flavors available that are all great. Or just get the classic affogato sundae, an objectively perfect dessert.

I got the tiny, which satisfied my cravings just right and wasn't overwhelming at all. I got the Cafe Bianco, which has a subtle taste of coffee, but not overpowering whatsoever. There are delicious chunks of dark chocolate chunks in it as well, which was a pleasant surprise! Special shoutout to their Cookies N'Panna flavor as well, which is basically their version of cookies and cream. Their sorbet flavors are also very refreshing. Everything here is just delicious! I've waited ~15 min on their long lines, but they move relatively quick, so it's definitely worth the wait! Caffe Panna earned a spot as one of my dessert go-tos!

We had read that Cafe Panna was best in the USA. Did not disappoint. Enjoyed every spoonful of the Salted Caramel Sundae. Just perfect on a 98 degree afternoon! Another trip to NYC and a must stop at Cafe Panna. The Kit Kat Sundae was decadent and perfect on a beautiful holiday weekend. We were 1st in line at 115pm and the short wait before opening was easy. Until next time!

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! - IG @ maysiesmunchies

I’ve heard about this place for years and finally made my first visit, and I’m already planning to come back! I tried their special chocolate chip banana bread soft serve, and it was SO good. The banana soft serve with banana bread chunks, chocolate pieces, and graham crunch just worked perfectly together. If you like banana desserts, this is a must. I also got 3 scoops, raspberry sorbet, blueberry ice cream, and Aud’s Dream (vanilla sweet cream with peanut butter swirl). The raspberry sorbet was my favorite and super smooth with a nice tangy kick. I added olive oil drizzle and sea salt crunch on top, which made it even better. The texture of everything was amazing, and I love how creative their flavors and toppings are. Also heard they rotate flavors daily and have new soft serve/sundaes every week, which makes me want to keep coming back to try more. Definitely lived up to the hype!
