Big shoutout to Cafe Belle! The cafe made a rainbow cookie cake for my daughter's bridal shower and the guests are still talking about it! My daughter loved it as well . Many thanks to Noelle and her staf for the delicious cake and the personalized service- very much appreciated. read more

I'm amazed that such a charming, quiet cafe can exist smack in the middle of SoHo! Tucked between some restaurants and a locksmith, the storefront can feel almost hidden. But it's worth finding! The coffee here is fantastic, and they make some excellent drinks. I tried a vanilla latte, and it tasted like they grew the vanilla beans on site. Really delicious. Pastries also looked amazing, though I didn't try any on my visit. But I'm glad I found a nice, quiet refuge with delicious coffee for next time I'm in the area. read more

I finally got a chance to try the rainbow cake and some other goodies and I'm so glad I did! Raspberry + apricot rugelachs: awesome. They're like big fig newtons. Crumb cake: also awesome. Rainbow cake: this is the star of the show. Omg. This alone deserves a 5 star rating. Turnover: also yum. Sfogliatelle: this was my least favorite because it's kind of boring compared to the others, but still yummy. Service can be slow sometimes because there's usually only one person working. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

Was super hyped to check this place out but watched the cashier get sassy with a customer trying to take a breather at a table before ordering and wasn't feeling it. Place was basically empty so not sure what the fuss was about - and cool it on the no laptop policy when you have so many outlets tontos If you want the real deal just go to Caffe Roma instead :) read more

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! read more

Server was friendly. Enjoyed the music. Lots of pastry options. There's regular or chocolate cannolis ($7 & $7.25 respectively), cheese Danish ($5.25), large chocolate chip cookies ($5), brownies, a small variety of typical bakery cookies, & a few other treats. I came for the cannoli. It's filled fresh, as it should be. The crust/ cone is just the right amount of crispy, yet has a little give so it doesn't hurt to bite into it. The cream is is smooth & creamy, but something is off. There's a hint of a lemony taste. The texture was great. However, I didn't care for the taste. My son took 2 bites but couldn't finish it. He ended up getting a brownie instead. It looked richer than it tasted. His friend got the large chocolate chip cookie, which she devoured. I took a taste- out was good. I also tried the jelly-filled butter cookie that's partially covered in chocolate & rainbow sprinkles (butter cookie? ) which I enjoyed. I got aa cheese Danish to go, so not sure how how that is yet. I doubt I'd come back for the cannoli. If I'm in the neighborhood, I'll stop in for cookies & music though . read more

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 read more

Cafe Belle - Vanilla Bean Latte - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

What a find! Such a cute place with friendly welcoming staff and delicious goodies. Had coffee, a cookie, and an apple turnover. All were excellent. Wishing it were closer to where we were staying because I would have been there every morning! Loved the decor. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

i'm not quite sure how to describe this place. i love it. but i'm also not someone who looks for 5 star rating cafe. it's one of my favorite cafes in the soho area. every time i go the barista is always lovely. i love the black and white cookie (it's the only place i actually go to if im craving a black and white cookie) and their chocolate chip banana bread (ive have had it very few times but ive always loved it its moist border line raw but i love it that way) if you are looking for gourmet food this is not the place to go. if you are looking for a nostalgic decent cafe with sweet treat that will fulfill your craving go ! i have never been able to fully describe the way i love good "bad" food. it's decent but it's more then decent. it's bad but it's not bad. just go and you'll see what i mean. i still love it nonetheless. read more

Cafe Belle is officially one one of my favorite bakeries in NYC. Here's why: 1. Everything rainbow cookie is out of this world good. My partner and I celebrated Christmas alone last year so we figured we'd treat ourselves with their rainbow cookie cheesecake. 10/10 can't recommend this enough. 2. If that wasn't enticing enough, they have a rainbow cookie ice cream sandwich in the summer. It's honestly the perfect treat. 3. 100% women owned and operated. We love to see it. 4. The sopranos themed cookies for Valentine's Day were a hit. read more

I'm writing this review as I'm still sitting here in this cafe, because this is how much I love it! Cafe Belle is a quaint little Italian cafe that serves authentic, homemade Italian pastries and coffee. It seems like an under-the-radar cafe, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the adjoining neighborhoods. There aren't too many seats inside, but the cafe compensates for that with free wifi, a clean restroom, friendly service, and its adorable floral decor. Over the span of the hours I spent here, I ordered a Spinach and Feta turnover, a large drip coffee, and a raspberry rugelach. The turnover was buttery, flaky, delicious, with the perfect filling to pastry ratio. The rugelach was one of the best I've ever had. The raspberry filling definitively tasted of real raspberries, making me believe their claim that they shy away from using artificial ingredients. It was sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth, but not sickeningly so. My coffee was eye-openingly strong and the perfect pick-me-up my afternoon needed. I selfishly want Cafe Belle to be my best kept secret and to shelter it from the traffic of the city, but I believe that everyone should have the chance to sample a taste of Naples. I'll be back soon for more pastries! read more

I really don't know how this place has any good review. We stopped by for some drink on Sunday. We ordered matcha latte and ice latte. The matcha latte, I literally see her put some match and milk together and used the machine wand to whisk it together and pour it in the cup. The latte has no taste at all. Do not recommend at all. read more

I came during the feast. Saw a rainbow cookie ice cream sandwich on Gothamist that came from this place, and had to try it. Arrived around 9pm (I know it's a weekday but there were a shitload of people at the feast still, down the block and the feast starts at 6pm and ends at 11). The lady inside the cafe behind the counter we initially went to was nice. She directed us outside to get the ice cream cookie cake. Upon approaching who later said he was the owner: "hi, do you have the rainbow cookie ice cream cake?" "No, no more left." Reference above comment about the time & circumstances. Me (pointed to a different one): "what does that one have in it?" "Cannoli cream." "Me: "how much is it?" "[more than i was quoted inside]." The whole conversation between me and this jubilant, face-in-phone owner was disinterested, monotone, sad, and screamed "I don't want to be here, don't value your business and hard earned money on my overpriced feast pastries, and barely care enough to answer your questions." My friend said thank you and have a good night after i bought the rainbow cookie cake and pignoli cookies and maybe he didn't know it was addressed to him, being the guy was so engrossed in whatever was happening on his phone, but he didn't even lift his head up. Everyone has a bad day. And yeah, i get it, you deal with assholes from the feast all day. Get over it, they're helping to keep your doors open. Maybe this was his bad day, but yeah, I was miffed by the interaction. There's no excuse to not appreciate business and at least try to put on a fucken smile in 2021. Ending this on a positive note, because that guy needs some positive vibes in his life - the rainbow cookie cake was excellent, it actually had the taste and texture of a rainbow cookie, not like the box cakes that just have rainbow cookie food coloring like some places. Haven't tried the pignoli cookies yet but they look good. Good enough that I bought a plastic container of them. Really nice little cafe that has good stuff. If it wasn't for the abhorrent interaction I had, this would easily be a 4-5 star review. read more

I stopped by here on a Friday afternoon with my partner. The cafe was empty when we arrived. We ordered a vanilla bean latte with oat milk and nutella croissant. The barista was super friendly and both the latte (you could taste the vanilla bean, I've never had anything like it before) and the croissant were so delicious. The vanilla bean latte was so good we had to get an extra one to go. I would absolutely go out of my way to come back here just for the latte. Prices were also reasonable, especially given the area, although they did charge for oat milk. Would recommend! read more

This is a cute little bakery in lower Manhattan with lots of great options. I loved the decor at this place and the staff was friendly. Nice quiet cafe, perfect place to catch up with friends or get some work done and a treat for motivation. The cannoli cake is extremely popular here (according to the employees). I loved it! It was tasty and not to sweet read more

Holy cannoli, this bakery is outstanding! That was the best apple turnover I've ever had, and the thin chocolate cookies were also incredible. We also loved the spinach/feta and parmesan/leak turnovers, so delicious and perfect for breakfast. Really exceptional quality pastries. My girlfriend is a pastry chef and we're trying every bakery in town, she was just raving all day about how good those pastries were. Cute store and good service. 10 stars. read more

Amazing Banana bread muffin! The texture is amazing. Very moist and warm. Absolutely perfect for a cold day like today.

Stopped in as I was wandering my way south on Mulberry. Didn't have much in the way of expectations, but the vanilla bean latte blew me away. I even went out of my way the next day to go back and get another one because it was that good. I will be back when I visit Manhattan again. read more

Extremely friendly service and all of the cookies are fabulous. Great place to sit and do work too. Only downside is there is no bathroom, but across the street at REI there is one. Consider coming here instead of La Colombe or Starbucks to do work, or get cookies for your next party. read more

Me and my friend went here to grab coffee after dinner around 9.30 pm. I was surprised they were still open it's a quite cozy little coffee shop with many European sweets like cakes and cookies. I got a latte and my friend got a cookie and cappuccino. The latte was weak and the cappuccino was also a latte basically had no foam. But my friend enjoyed the cookie. So don't come here for amazing coffee but the sweets and grandma decor. read more

Cannolis were delicious and tasted as close to the real deal. The other pastries are great as well. Customer service was fantastic!

Lattes were awesome! Service was very friendly. Tried the rainbow cookie - amazing! Very cute spot.

Amazing service SO FRIENDLY scrumptious cookie and delicious iced latte. Definitely would recommend

I thought I understood that a chocolate lace cookie, while the very thing with which one should treat oneself when near an Italian bakery, would never quite meet the ideal of what it was intended to be -- as chewy as a caramel, but not thick enough to risk a tooth on it, as crunchy as a bowl of rice krispies, but not crackling enough to remind you of a pretzel, sweet and chocolatey but not sickeningly sweet or lame-quality-chocolatey. There has been no chocolate lace cookie before this one and there shall never be another. Rocco's is a distant memory. Veniero's can't compete. The chocolate lace cookie at Cafe Belle is the Platonic Ideal of a chocolate lace cookie, too good for this plane of existence. Cafe Belle! Cafe Belle! Cafe Belle! read more

Cafe Belle is a place I go out of my way to stop by whenever I am in Little Italy with friends. It is worth the walk up Mulberry for their delicious Italian bakery cookies. I have sat and enjoyed a coffee and some cookies with my boyfriend there on a few chilly evenings and I just love visiting! Everyone who helps me out is always very sweet, helpful, and patient. I love the interior design decor. Also love that this is woman owned and operated! They often stock shirts and mugs that are Italian pop-culture themed and it makes them unique and stand out to me. I feel like the owner brings the younger generation in with her branding and the older generation in with her baking. Schedule your visit for a seasonal rainbow cookie ice cream sandwich, you won't regret it. read more
