Zibetto

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian cafe experience, put Zibetto Espresso at the top of your list. This coffee place opened in 2006 with the goal to bring a piece of Italy to NYC. The coffee beans are roasted and blended in Italy, while the espresso machine is made by La Cimbali, a manufacturer who has been producing state of the art espresso machines for over 100 years. The ambience is spot-on, so make sure you pay a visit while you’re in the neighborhood. And don’t worry, even if this place is packed, there’s always seating available at the counter.
