    Came to the Brooklyn location after all the hype, and we didn't have to wait in line. The ice cream is on the creamier, milky side. They have an indoor seating area where you can see the workers in the kitchen, which is nice. Otherwise, it was overhyped.

    I've looking forward to trying one of the mango sticky rice desserts that's trending, and Cafe Panna is always on the list for seasonal flavors. Laab Bar Coconut Sticky Rice Sundae has: mango ice cream (sweet mango flavor, soft, and fluffy), coconut sticky rice arancini (lightly fried exterior, soft like white rice texture, seems to lack concentrated coconut milk flavor), mango coulis (thick fruit sauce), coconut caramel (nice blend of both), panna (soft cream), and toasted coconut (thin, crunchy, and addicting). There're staff to help you look at the menu, a window to place your order, and another window to receive food. If you want to eat inside, they can call your order from within. There's a high bar along the wall and a few tables.

    I love ice cream. The long lines didn't deter us from trying being that we wanted to see about the hype. They have a large selection to choose from. They have limited seating indoors.

    Very unique flavors and creamy ice cream!! Kinda sad they ran out of the flavor we wanted to try the most right as we were about to order. But still enjoyed the other flavors we got. Lines can get super long so be prepared to wait.

    Caffe Panna has one of the best, if not the best, ice cream I've ever had. It is so creamy and thick, and their flavors area always fun and innovative. I have yet to be disappointed! This location's ordering station is outdoors, but is connected to a seating area inside, which is clean, spacious, and very convenient! I also love that all their scoops come with panna (mandatory, must get), a drizzle, and a crunchy topping. It is a really fun way to personalize your sweet treat fully to your liking. On this day, I had the Blueberry Brioche with panna, fudge, and Oreos. THIS WAS AMAZING. The blueberry brought such a nice tartness to the sweet ice cream, and the panna is always incredible. The cream is soooso fluffy and light and adds the perfect sweet and richness to the dessert. The Tiny size is plenty, but it was delicious and I always find myself wanting more. Every time I have Caffe Panna, I am always reminded of why I love it so much and need to go more often.

    Caffe Panna has the creamiest ice cream ever, and that may be because after a long line anything great hits the spot, but this felt like more than that. The ice cream was the perfect scoop, and with a drizzle of olive oil on their homemade panna (the whipped cream) is enough to make this the ice cream spot you crave. They have their usual chocolate & vanilla, but they shine in their daily rotation of flavors, making every time back a new experience. There is a small seating space inside and they have a bathroom.

    In the summer the line can get pretty long. The ice cream and Panna are just so good. There are flavors they have daily and flavors that change daily. There is a small seating space inside to the side with view of the ice cream. They also have a bathroom. Service is fine but do expect to wait a 5 mins plus.

    Finally tried this place in the summer after hearing about all the hype. A lot of people said it's the best in New York, and while I do think some of the flavors are really good, I feel like it was a bit overhyped tbh. I appreciate the seasonal/limited edition flavors that they rotate through and it's fun to try them, though I think that some of them have a little too much panna to ice cream and it gets a bit overwhelming flavor wise. Service is pretty quick and there's a indoor area to eat the ice cream and also watch the workers make it from scratch, though it definitely fills up pretty quickly during the summer time. That being said, it's a lot quicker than the Manhattan location, which feels like there's perpetually a long line at all times. Definitely a very solid ice cream place that I think is worth trying for the unique flavors.

    I have been a regular here since the location came to Greenpoint. At first, it was a quick visit when the time felt right for a scoop or two. Then, I followed their instagram account and occasionally saw a story with interesting flavors, and went with intention. I'm now at a point where I check their IG story daily, waiting for the next best flavor to drop. Traditionally, I've been a Cookies n Panna warrior since the Grammercy days. I think the affogato with Cookies n Panna is one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. Get it with a heaping scoop of panna and your life will change. I've had many amazing pint flavors here, but I'd steer you away from the caramel or marshmallow centers. It can get a bit overwhelming (specifically thinking the banana pudding flavor they had that was one of two major flops, out of many successes). I have mixed feelings on the granitas, the coffee one that was a BK exclusive this summer was nice but I felt the granita was too liquid. I tried the melon one recently which had a much better consistency, but wasn't very flavorful. I also have been meh on their sundaes. The mango sticky rice was good but I think it was missing some condensed milk. The tiramisu was okay, but not super flavorful. That being said, I will never regret giving them my money. I fear I will never have ice cream this good again. Not to mention they have a lovely interior, online ordering, bathroom, and water for customers.

    Caffè Panna is worth the hype! Don't let the line deter you, it moves fast. There's also indoor seating area and a bathroom. My favorite is definitely Aud's dream - vanilla sweet cream with thick peanut butter swirl. I love how thick the consistency is and the flavors are rich and bold.

    As a former manhattanite I prowled around the gramercy location frequently. It's fantastic that in BK Cafe panna has given me another location to prowl. Lines might look long but it moves fast. There's also just barely enough seating every time. The inside is pretty small but it's warm and has water and a restroom if you need it. Staff are very nice even if they frequently pronounce names wrong! Most recently had the sundae collab with fish cheeks. Peanuts and brioche were abundant! Delicious and a hefty serving.

    Indulgent high-end ice cream, topped with fresh whipped cream and add-ons making it a worthwhile treat. Ice cream is thoughtfully flavored, stretchy, and rich. $9.25 for a reasonably sized serving, topped with the complimentary all-important whipped panna. You can add complimentary drizzles and crispies like crumbled graham crackers. There are daily rotating flavors, and I had something hazelnutty and something coffee oreo-y. Both were excellent. I came twice in quick succession (it's near Vital Climbing Gym!). There's some counter and table seating for around 15. This location might be an ice cream factory or test lab, and it's far less busy than the Manhattan location.

    Don't get me wrong- I absolutely love Caffè Panna. However, the service here was less than subpar. I don't know who the male employee with the face tattoos & piercings is or exactly what his problem is but he was quite nasty speaking to my mother & I. When we asked for panna as the ice cream didn't come with it (albeit on their menu it says panna + 1 topping comes with every sundae), he laughed in our faces & goes you have to ask for it silly. I have to ask for it despite it saying it's included in the menu? Is he cheap, rude, obnoxious- maybe all of the above? Either way, it left a very sour taste in my mouth & I genuinely hope that the manager who I believe was this Asian lady at this location takes note & rectifies ridiculous behavior like this.

There's the main seating area and then two offshoot lounges, which aren't quite as cozy but offer different levels of quiet and ambience. I love all the random décor, antique signs, old arcade games as tables, a million lamps. It's like what nook is going for but you can actually sit down on a comfy couch most of the time. The guy working the counter has a lot of energy and clearly loves being there. The PB banana smoothie was yummy, very thick so could use a spoon. Mushroom toast was a bit pricey but you did get a lot of food for your money, the focaccia was crunchier than expected but all around a nice cafe bite. I just appreciate how this is such a gathering spot where you can watch bk life play out while working, it had a different energy from a lot of places in the area.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.
