About Caffè Reggio
Caffè Reggio opened in 1927 and has barely changed since. The 1902 espresso machine still stands against the back wall like a bronze monument. Jack Kerouac wrote here. Bob Dylan played nearby. The marble tables, Renaissance paintings, and chandelier light make every visit feel like the city paused just for you.

America's original, served since 1927. Order it with nothing added.

Whipped egg yolk cream with fresh berries. Theatrical and worth it.

Vanilla gelato drowned in a hot shot of espresso. End here.
Our Read for This Café
The Night Circus
Erin Morgenstern
For when you want to disappear into something black and white and impossible.
A circus arrives without warning and opens only at night. Inside, two young magicians are bound to a competition neither of them fully understands. Pure atmosphere — a book to read slowly, for the rooms.
