    Caffè Panna is kind of quintessentially modern city living because you're waiting in line for a kind of pricey dessert because it has unique flavors that switch out every week or so that you don't want to miss out on. There's no seating, just a line and windows for ordering pick-up, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a place to chill for a while. I split a sundae with friends and, while it was good, I found that it was too sweet for my taste. It's indulgent, good quality, and fun, but I don't think I'd come back because there are so many other places in NYC for a sweet treat.

    Nearly everything was sold out at the end of the day! And lines wrapped around the shop 2x waited a long time to order. No area to sit, just standing the whole time, a classic grab and go place. ~$9 for a stand cup size of just chocolate and vanilla flavors was kind of a bummer. Still delicious though. What really made it was the generous fudge drizzle and crunchy crumb topping were could choose. Otherwise, not sure if I'd want to come back.

    Went here on a rainy day so there wasn't really a line. The line moves fast and service is fast too! I got the sundae and it was phenomenal! Very big portion sizes and the fruit tasted fresh. I would say two people can share. There isn't really space to eat there but there are parks near by. Overall definitely worth a try!

    Very yummy! Another popular NYC place that is worth the wait! The wait looked very long when we went (wrapped around the corner) but it went by very quickly. The quality of the ice cream is fantastic. Creamy, rich, and smooth. They have speciality items for the month as well as some signature items. Most scoops come with a topping and the option of panna. Definitely get the panna! It's a better tasting whipped cream!

    I hate to admit it, but this place is worth waiting in line for. For the sundaes specifically! The line does move pretty fast, but I'd prefer waiting for a glorious sundae than a scoop of soft serve. It's also on the cutest street.

    5/5 Weekly Special: Chai Sticky Toffee Pudding Affogato - this was SO good. The warm chai spies with the coffee flavor really worked very well. Did not feel too sweet at all! 4.7/5 Weekly Special: Mangoberry Sundae -- SO mango-ey and the texture was impressively smooth. 5/5 Chocolate - one of the best chocolate ice creams i've ever had. 4.5/5 Caffe Bianco Straciatella Visited on a Friday night around 8pm, line was long but moves quite quickly! For me, this was well worth the wait and the hype! Note that many flavors will be sold out if you visit later in the day.

    {Overall: 4.5; Food: 4.5} Service: 3.5 I have been to Caffè Panna's several times, and love their classic flavors. Overall, their ice creams are balanced and not overly sweet. After trying Cookies 'n Panna for the first time, I was craving it for days afterward. I also love Red Flag. It's unique, unexpected, and one of their sweeter options. Of their rotating flavors, I've had Smooth Strawberry and Mango. They're good, but not flavors I would personally repeat. The strawberry isn't as strawberry forward as I was hoping and the mango was decent, but didn't stand out. The biggest challenge is the line. Even at 3 p.m. on a random weekday, the wait can be 30 to 40 minutes. They sell out of flavors as the day goes on, and close relatively early for a dessert spot at 9:30 p.m. If there is something specific you want to try, go earlier. They post the menu daily on Instagram, although I have shown up on a few occasions and found the in-store menu differed from what was posted. If you want to skip the line entirely, and don't mind buying a bit more ice cream, you can order pints online ahead of time.

    The rotating flavors make caffe panna different every time you visit. I feel like there's always a unique new flavor that will peak your interest. The line may be long but it usually moves quickly. Would definitely recommend giving it a try on a hot day (or a cold one for a shorter wait).

    I have been super excited to try Caffe Panna and remarkably there was a really short line when we stopped by early evening on a summer Saturday. The little line there was moved very quickly. I got a coffee stracciatella with Panna and chocolate fudge. It was pretty good. I actually preferred the panna and fudge over the ice cream itself. I do wish they had a slightly smaller size option too, even the smallest one is pretty big. I'd try again but would probably get an affogato or one of the signature sundaes

    Passion fruit icecream and caramel sundae
    Sne G.

    Was so excited to try out this place, after all the hype. Passion fruit was refreshing on the palate , and the espresso caramel was crunchy, sweet and creamy. Would love to come back and try the seasonal flavors next time, highly recommend

    Vanilla, hot fudge, sea salt
    Rilie F.

    Insane vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and sea salt. Insane flavor combo and would love to come back (when the line is shorter)

    Mango sticky rice
    Mervi T.

    Delicious 10/10 No notes The line may be intimidating but honestly moves so fast Got the mango sticky rice and cookies n cream and both were so good

    Teresa S.

    I dont know what the hype is about the mango sticky rice ice cream but as a thai person I am so disappointed and barely finished this. My sister convinced me to come try this and we came 30 mins before opening and there was no line, in the blink of an eye the line went down the block further than the eye can see. The fried sticky rice ball was mediocre and had no flavor. The ice cream was too sweet. Not my cup of tea and wont be coming back. The hype is overrated

    I'm confused: one of the comments said there was no seating, but a photo showed tables and chairs. Does the Cafe Panne in Manhattan have seating? If not, is there a place nearby where one can sit outdoors? Not in Grammercy Park!

    I did not see seating.

    Is there restrooms available?

    Is this the slowest line in the world?

    For GREAT gelato- you will wait patiently. Capeesh?

The space is cozy with some seating, and apparently they have award-winning cookies... which I unfortunately cannot personally confirm because I had already eaten enough breakfast to feed a small village. I stuck with a vanilla latte. The coffee was good, the service was nice, and the space was welcoming. But the CHANDeliers?! Absolutely gorgeous and definitely one of the first things I noticed. I'd love to come back when I'm actually hungry enough to investigate these allegedly award-winning cookies because clearly I have unfinished business here. Cute spot, good coffee, gorgeous chandeliers--and apparently cookies that have trophies. I need answers.
