I was meeting a friend here for light lunch & desserts. Having walked by her numerous times, we decided to give them a try. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the counter to sit at any table inside or out and a server will help us. The inside is quaint with ample tables and chairs, with display of a commercial professional espresso machine and display of some of their pastries. Decided on outside, we found a table with two chairs and waited for service. Very quickly a young woman greeted us and while we looked at the menu, brought us water with lemon at our request. We end up ordering first two sandwiches, one with prosciutto and the other caprese. We waited to order our coffee drinks and parties afterwards. The sandwiches came quickly and to our surprise the sandwich was warmed which my preference and both were served on ciabatta-like buns that's had textures of foccacia. We loved both sandwiches. We then ordered the Italian donuts with Nutella and the cookies horn with light lemon crème as well as a cortado and latte. Pastries were also warmed and overall satisfied with our choices. I would come back here as I'm in the neighborhood often. Great place to meet a friend with reasonable prices and quality food. read more

My friend saw this place as a recommend place for hot chocolate so we decided to stop by on a Thursday night. The place itself is super cute and very cozy. The menu is fairly on the basic side - mainly drinks and pastries and there is some sandwiches. We decided to get the hot chocolate with whip cream (the whip cream is very needed). It was very rich, thick and delicious and not "too sweet." The whip cream really makes it more creamy and it does not really add to the sweetness which was good. We also got a side of Salame e Formaggio which I would recommend passing on because the cheese was kind of hard and not that great. The salami was good and honestly I'm not a fan of olives but my friend who liked it enjoyed them. Overall - a cute place to stop by for a hot chocolate and maybe a pastry! read more

While the space is *so* cute and cozy and the service was really nice, the food and beverages left something to be desired. We got a torta caprese (flourless chocolate cake), a sfogliatella, a hot chocolate, and a machiatto. The torta caprese was okay. The sfogliatella, which is supposed to be light and crisp, was clearly stale and chewy, although they warmed it up which was a helpful touch. The hot chocolate was reviewed on Instagram as being super rich and decadent, but it was made from a mix that smelled oddly similar to Swiss Miss. the machiatto was also quite watery. Come here for the vibes, but not for the food. read more

La Bomboniera was an accidental stumble upon one morning. I'm a sucker for trying new cafes but this place is also a wine bar. It's a bit too fancy for me with that trendy European style. The morning I visited there wasn't much of a pastry selection. I thought the coffee price was reasonable. Customer service was excellent and there's plenty of seating inside and outside. I'm not going to return alone. I do think it's a good place to bring friends and family from out of town. Hopefully they'll cover the tab! If you enjoy museums you are very close to museum mile and Central Park too. I'm recommending if this is your style atmosphere. read more

Came here after work and had a good experience. My friend lives by and has always wanted to visit so we finally did. We each sampled a few wines and everything tasted yummy. I'm not a wine person generally speaking so I can't speak on how good the wine was, but I didn't dislike anything that I had, so that's a good sign! Service was friendly and consistent. Overall, had a positive experience. read more

Good spot right near the subway. It's clean, a little busy but the server was attentive. The star here is the hot chocolate, tasty served piping hot. I didn't think I would like the whipped cream but it was delicious. It's casual but a great place for a morning beverage. I wish they baked their own goods but the hot chocolate more than makes up for that. read more

This place is very popular. I went on a Monday around 2pm and every seat in the house was taken. The turnover for a table is quick, and I was seated within a few minutes. I had a cappuccino and a slice of Italian ricotta cheesecake, my boyfriend had a Nutella cream bomboloni and a latte. We were both happy. This is a cute place to try in the UES. read more

This is a really cute coffee/wine place with a lot of seating. We came as a party of 3 in the morning and decided to dine in. We tried their pastries, affogato, coffee and tea. While the drinks were good, the pastries were not fresh, pretty hard and we didn't really like them. I got a plain croissant and my sister got the almond and we both had the same opinion. Unfortunate because we really wanted to like this place. They also offer sandwiches and other refreshments. You can even work from here but limit laptop usage to about an hour. read more

Absolutely loved this cafe! After having a long day exploring the upper east side, we were looking for a nice place to have coffee and relax. This was the perfect spot - ambiance, service and coffee everything were spot on. The cafe is maintained very nicely, no clutter and super clean. Love the chic atmosphere and the European feeling. There were many people working from this cafe. Both espresso and macchiato were not too strong for my taste bud, as well so smooth. Definitely gonna come back when I am in this area next time. read more

Food: this place is a hidden gem in UES. Im particular with my coffee but i ordered iced almond latte and i was very impressed. I will probably come in for coffees at this place going forward- better than Madame Bonte or other coffee shops in UES Service: overall good service but nothing particular Ambiance: really nice decor and makes you feel like you are in an European type of cafe. They serve drinks at night and i have a feeling it will be even better at night to visit this place read more

An Italian cafe by day & wine bar by night nestled in the UES is serving exceptional coffee, pastries, cocktails, and light bites in a warm, rustic interior. Theres plenty of seating for you laptop folks as well as outdoor tables for you people watchers. The vibes are definitely intimate and very cozy making it a true gem of the neighborhood.

Came here based off all the reels and ads I've been seeing, and was disappointed. Service is wonderful and the space is nicely decorated, but the hot chocolate with creme is just SwissMiss. Great cappuccino and well priced. Not worth the 30 min on the uptown 6 for the cocoa. read more

La Bomboniera - Cappuccino & Hot chocolate with creme - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Such a great new spot in the UES! I was drawn to this spot when I first heard about it, because this cafe's charm really does capture the essence of a cafe in Italy. I especially love the outdoor seating in the warmer months, along the side street-its so quaint and charming. There is tons of seating, both inside and outside-which is hard to come by for NYC coffee shops, so definitely another reason to come by here, if you want to sit down and enjoy your coffee with a friend, or do some work while doing so. The coffee is great here, and so is the food, based upon the few items I tried! I've gotten both hot and iced coffee drinks here, as well as an almond cornetto and the Salame + Formaggio. What makes this spot even better is that they serve wine all day and evening long, and the prices for a glass of wine is very reasonable, compared to lots of other spots in the area! This is definitely becoming a go-to spot for myself. read more

I went in for a quick dessert but was greeted by rude staff. The dessert was ok, service was not great.

Nothing special about this place. Overpriced, poor drink quality, and seating is crowded. The coffee is average at best. The espresso martini tasted like the bartender needs to learn how to properly mix a drink. If you want a real italian cafe experience, this is not it. read more

La Bomboniera is one of my favorite neighborhood coffee shops. It's cozy and the staff are so friendly. It's a great place to go for a quick pick me up or to meet up with a friend. The lattes are great and the doughnuts are even better, especially the one filled with Nutella! It arrived warm and really hit the spot. Today I was in the mood for a little extra decadence so I tried the affogato. It was delicious! I look forward to coming back to try their spritzes. Don't miss this place. read more

Dropped by for a coffee so can't really comment on the food and wine. I ordered a latte and maybe they were short-staffed but I felt like I was standing there for a long time just waiting for someone to come to the front to take my order. The latte itself tasted more like milk with a hint of coffee and was loaded with ice cubes. They have small tables outside the perimeter of the restaurant, which has a cute vibe. The food and wine might be better but I was underwhelmed by the coffee. read more

I visit La Bomboniera for brunch. This place is so cozy. La Bomboiera is a charming Italian café and wine bar that offers a delightful brunch experience. The cozy atmosphere is perfect for a Sunday morning and afternoon. I had a cup of Moka. It was super good. I can say that their coffee is top-notch. While their brunch menu may be small, each dish is thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. Don't miss the opportunity to try one of their delectable Italian pastries, which perfectly complements your coffee and brunch selection. Overall, La Bomboniera is a fantastic spot for a cozy and intimate brunch experience on the Upper East Side. And the service was so amazing. read more

Very cute and some of the most excellent Bellinis I've ever had. There was surprisingly plenty of seating inside. Everything was clean and comfortable, and their outdoor seating is also the perfect scene for a sunny Sunday. However, we went there on a rather quiet day and the service was only okay. Not very attentive and a server had come to take our order but then never checked on us again so we were just confused on how to close out. Also, they didn't have a great selection of food. Lots of pastries and sandwiches but nothing to pick at while you drink. Additional disappointment if you have food insensitivities. Definitely need to eat before coming here for their excellent drinks! read more

Coming in the afternoon or night is just as special as you can enjoy a cozy, warm atmosphere with a glass of wine and some food! You won't regret coming to this gem! read more

We walked near this cafe and, after reading very good reviews about this place, decided to eat there. This is a very cozy cafe in European style. Italian music is played here. Our table was served by a very friendly and attentive waitress. We ordered Panino con bresaola, Salatini, Salame e Formaggio, Rossini, Cappuccino and espresso. I rate the entire order A+. I will definitely come back here to try other dishes, drinks and of course dessert. read more

Stumbled upon this place after spending some time in the park and wanting to sit outside somewhere. This is a lovely Italian cafe that also has ample indoor seating. The menu has coffee, drinks, and some bites. I ordered an iced coffee which was nice. There were a lot of people sitting outside but thankfully I was able to snag a seat. The service was amazing, my server was very kind, friendly, and checked up on me often. The outdoor circular tables reminded me of Europe. There's great people/dog watching too. I'd definitely return for an afternoon pick me up. read more
