    florentine, Latte
    Sisi A.

    This is such a charming little cafe!! The interior is very cute with about 6 tables. It has such a cozy vibe, especially with the Christmas decorations! The vanilla bean latte here was well made -- super smooth with great flavor. I also tried the florentine cookies which were new to me and really good. They're nutty and chocolatey, and were a great pairing with the latte. I thought prices here were pretty reasonable for a cute and high quality cafe/bakery in Nolita. Service was also great, very friendly and there were 2 people working so I didn't have to wait long at all.

    A Latte With Almond Milk
    Steve A.

    Another place for coffee and sweets in Nolita. Cafe Belle is a small independent shop. It has quite a few good looking things to choose from, but some can get expensive though. High quality stuff and fresh. There's all kinds of cookies and pastries. Everything looks so good here. It also seems to be women owned. My boo and me checked it out one morning to get some coffee and pastries. Coffee is the main thing here to drink. It's about $3.50 for a latte. There's also many kinds of colorful cookies in the display case that we really wanted to try. Be careful. Some of these are very expensive. It's about $10 for a container of the vegan rainbow cookies. They look good and there's quite a few in the container but it's still more than a bit expensive. It also has a nice atmosphere. Lots of good sweets like cookies. They have some that are vegan and gluten free too.

    Love their rainbow cake. Divine. Delicious. One of the best things in life.

    Cute cafe in NYC where you can enjoy a fresh hot beverage and some goodies and more... Inside is tiny and elegant though they have a few tables outside where you can hang for a few minutes and enjoy. That's what I did. They are located right by the Old St. Patrick Cathedral/Basilica along a quiet street in Soho. I'd ordered a chai latte and was satisfied with it. I totally could taste the nutmeg and cinnamon as I was drinking it. And I had one of their almond horn cookie. Omg! It was yummy. I could literally taste the crunchy almond from the outside. Definitely chewy and gives a mild almond taste. These things can be additive. It's been a while since I scoped out a caffe in NYC. It was nice to see people slowly getting back into the new normal of life. Thank you for your services Cafe Belle!

    Rainbow cannoli cake!
    Monkey Girl R.

    Holy mother of everything tasty. Seriously. We went to a tour at the church right down the street (highly recommend). We walked past cafe belle on the way to the tour and I got good vibes. When the tour was done we stopped in for coffee and cake. It just so happened to be the best coffee we had during our 10 days in NYC and one of the best pieces of cake I have ever had. I got a pumpkin late that wasn't too sweet. But this cake definitely topped it all. We ate at some amazing restaurants, and this little cafe definitely stood out. I tried to find a recipe for this cake. I think it's specific to this cafe as I didn't find anything equivalent. HIGHLY recommend!!

    Rainbow cookie cakes
    Gab G.

    Ordered some coffee cake and a pound of rainbow cookies for delivery. Can confirm that Cafe Belle makes the best rainbow cookies in NYC. Coffee cake was also excellent - so fluffy. Next time: I want to try the cannoli!

    Vanilla Bean Latte

    CAFE BELLE IS THE PLACE TO BE If you are coming to Manhattan, and you are looking for a small cozy place, with great coffee, where you can sit down with a friend (or even by yourself), definitely come here. Whenever I come to this cafe, my mind completely goes blank and I never know what I want. But no fear, the ladies are super sweet and if you just tell them what you're craving for, they know how to suggest the perfect pastry for you; even if it's something tiny like a cookie or something filling like their NUTELLA CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD! Yes, they don't allow computers on the weekend; and that can be a bummer for some people, but I think that's perfect because it gives everyone a chance to catch a seat. (Especially for someone like me who works in front of a computer on a daily basis and could use a break from so much screen time). So if you're ready for some delicious, creamy espresso and some REAL AUTHENTIC Italian pastries, pop in to Cafe Belle you won't regret it

    Latte and spinach feta turnover
    Shaji K.

    Happened upon this small cafe on a Saturday afternoon after getting off the subway. Cozy interior with a few tables inside as well as a bench outside. Many different pastries behind the glass as well as a rotating selection on the counter. Decided on the Latte ($4ish) to go along with a Spinach Feta Turnover ($4.50). Items were hot and ready after a few minutes. Coffee is thick and strong, not needing any extra sugar. The turnover is on the dense side but the spinach and feta combo is nice. Only one person working the place but she was able to accommodate everyone without any issues. Fine enough stop for a quick breakfast.

    Vegan rainbow cookies
    Natalie K.

    They have vegan rainbow cookies!!! A whole box of 10 is $12. They don't have it all the time but the day I was there they did. They are delicious! So happy to have this option in the city.

    Meri K.

    Cute for pastries and coffee. Smells fantastic inside, even though the desserts aren't made on premises. A few tables inside and maybe 1 outside in sidewalk. Has a loyalty program. Cute wallpaper!

    1/2 lb Rainbow Cookie Box
    Alice K.

    Popped into this place wandering the streets of NYC just looking for some water. After checking the reviews, I picked up a box of the rainbow cookie/cakes. These were delicious, one of the best and most unique desserts I tried in the city. The thin layer of jam between the colored cake tiers was a tasty touch. Also got an iced coffee, good and can't complain. There was only one barista and she was very slammed- when it got busy she handled it well! Definitely try this place if you are in the area looking for a unique yet lowkey NYC cafe experience.

    Baby Shower Cake
    Shari B.

    Cafe Belle just made my daughter's baby shower complete with an absolutely gorgeous cake! Not only did the cake meet and exceed all of our expectations aesthetically but it was also absolutely scrumptious. The cake was moist and not overly sweet and the fillings were a divine combination of smooth, rich chocolate with a second layer of raspberry jam. Noelle also delivered the cake herself with plenty of time to set up. We also ordered cake pops and rainbow cookies to go along with the cake and they were wonderful as well. Thanks for helping make our baby shower a big hit! We will definitely go back to Cafe Belle!!

    Cute decor inside and outside of the cafe!
    Alyssa H.

    I love this place. First off: Shoutout for being a woman-owned business. Second, this is the cutest cafe ever. I love the decor inside and out. My husband and I randomly stumbled upon this after a quick trip to REI across the street. We hadn't had any breakfast so we went inside and ordered: one iced coffee, one iced matcha latte, and a piece of nutella banana bread slice. We sat outside on the cafe's table and chairs ( which again are so adorable.) Everything was delicious and I will definitely come back again. I can't wait to come back to try the Italian rainbow ice cream sandwich....drool.

    I feel like I bought a truly ridiculous amount of petit gateaus here to try out and share with…read morefriends and we wound up enjoying most of them, some enough to buy twice. Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

    This is my third time going and I have to say I finally got the right desert the third time…read more Shared pics from all 3. Hands down the best thing to try is the mango (so flavorful and some parts feel cold like ice cream) and I also really liked the pistachio. Cloud is safe, Not too sweet and it's soft mousse. Yuzu (the flower dessert) had a hard rice cake under it which I was not a fan on. Everytime I have gone, the lien move pretty fast. Seating is whatever table you can find. So have one person place the order while the other scouts for a seat.

Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.
