    Love this spot! So warm and cozy. Rozanna & Minja were incredibly hospitable. Great place to talk for hours with a friend or get some work done— laptop friendly! Will be back soon :)

    A small corner of Italy, where you can feel at home whenever you feel nostalgic for Italy or simply want to eat something truly 100% Italian. The staff is wonderfully friendly, a very welcoming place full of good vibes. 100% recommended, here in New York it will definitely be our fixed stop to feel at home.

    A true gem on the Upper East Side!!! Everything is spot on: coffee, service, ambient… highly recommend! And, they’re dog friendly! 😍 Nevena is the best server and Mihajlo behind the bar!

    YES, here is one of the best cappuccinos Ive tried! I absolutely recommend this place, felt a bit like I was in a movie, great atmosphere and interior. The staff is also very friendly and the pastries are solid. I’ll definitely be coming back.

  • Review 5 (2024-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    This is one of my favorite little spots in the city. It has a cozy vibe and the drinks and pastries are consistently great. I’m always well taken care of by Zizi and Rozanna! Would recommend this spot to anyone who is in the UES area.

  • Review 6 (2024-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    I have lived on the Upper East Side for nearly ten years now and can say with my whole heart that La Bomboniera is my favorite place in the neighborhood. It is so cozy and welcoming, and a perfect place to either sit by yourself to read and work or to bring your friends to catch up. But what makes this spot so wonderful is the incredibly kind, wonderful humans who work there. Every time I go, getting to catch up with them is the absolute highlight of my day. We are all especially lucky to have Rozanna and Livvy brightening our lives. I adore this lovely spot so much that I can barely remember a time when it wasnt here — it feels like a happy little home.

  • Review 7 (2024-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    La Bomboneria has the best espresso drinks and Italian pastries in the area. An absolute must if you’re into coffee or cafe culture.

  • Review 8 (2024-05-04 - Rating: 5)

    I walked into La Bonboniera for the first time since they opened a few months ago and I was very impressed by the delicious latte that they made for me. This is the kind of cafe you could bring a date to and you’d impress that person by your good taste! The atmosphere is very welcoming and if you lived in the neighborhood, youMight want to bring your book or laptop and plan to relax, drink their delicious coffee and enjoy their selection of pastries.

  • Review 9 (2024-08-04 - Rating: 5)

    A perfect spot for drinks and light bites on the UES. The cheese and meat platter was a perfect pairing with the Aperol and limoncello spritz. We felt like we were transported on a European vacation.

  • Review 10 (2024-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    European style cafe on the upper east side. Ordered the iced mocha for dine-in. Very rich and chocolaty. Drinks are brought to you with a small glass of water. Good amount of seating both inside and outside. Highly recommend.

    Great atmosphere and attention!Loved the food, coffees were fine, not that expensive. Overall very good!

  • Review 12 (2024-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    La Bomboniera is an absolute gem on the Upper East Side! Their croissant is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had—flaky, buttery, and baked to perfection. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, but what truly stood out was Rozana’s exceptional service. She was friendly, attentive, and made the experience all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by for a coffee and a treat—you won’t regret it!

  • Review 13 (2024-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    We love it, whether for coffee or wine/beer - it never disappoints. Everyone is so welcoming, especially Lori, and also Rozanna has served us couple of times- always very friendly. Best coffee and pastries on the UES. Highly recommended!

    La Bomboniera in New York, NY. Have you ever wished your local coffee shoppe turns into a beautiful wine bar at night? @labombonieranyc transports you to Italy by serving Italian savory and sweet treats along with the best Italian wine and espresso. The vibes here are immaculate-super cozy and romantic. The service was amazing too I can’t recommend it enough! Insta: @thehungrysw

  • Review 15 (2024-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    La Bomboniera on the Upper East Side has quickly become one of my favorite coffee spots. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with charming decor that feels both cozy and sophisticated. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick coffee or spending a leisurely afternoon, the vibe here is just right.The coffee is consistently excellent—smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Their pastries are another highlight, especially the almond croissants, which are always fresh and flaky.What really sets this place apart, though, is the service. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel at home. Nevena waiter from Serbia- in particular, is fantastic. She always greets everyone with a genuine smile and seems to remember every regular’s order. Her energy and kindness create such a welcoming experience that you look forward to returning.

    I love La Bomboniera! It’s my happy place while my son takes class in the neighborhood. Navana is my girl…knows my coffee drink, super nice and a great person! I actually hugged her the last time I was there!♥️I’ve also been in the evening for a glass of wine…so charming.

    Finally visited with a friend today after spending a few hours at The Met. Place was packed for late afternoon on a sunny Sunday. Tried the Shakerato, which was basically an espresso martini without the alcohol. Will definitely be back again. Great having a nice local cafe near my apartment.

  • Review 23 (2024-11-21 - Rating: 5)

    Grateful to this excellent neighborhood addition to the UES! Its dog-friendly too (including treats and water bowl). The staff - particularly Zizi- makes this cafe a welcoming community environment: she always remembers my order, has a treat ready for my dog, and provides thoughtful service both indoors and outdoors!

    This is the only cafe you want to come to in the city. Day or night the service is incredible and the coffee is even better. Don’t forget the food too. You’re doing a disservice to yourself if this isn’t your new cozy neighborhood cafe.

  • Review 31 (2024-11-08 - Rating: 4)

    It was a lovely location but less than friendly staff served us and we were not made to feel welcome at all. The coffee and croissant were nice but not amazing. I will certainly return to give it another try.

    Met a friend for afternoon coffee, the staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and well apportioned, and wasnt loud. The serving staff were polite and discreet. And, as an establishments bathroom is often a sign of their overall cleanliness and efficiency, Id say their bathroom was clean and well maintained. I was a little disappointed they didnt have 2% milk and I had to use whole milk, but that wasnt a deal breaker. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

  • Review 168 (2024-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    I stumbled upon La Bomboniera and it was such a nice surprise to have found this little gem!They have a little terrace outside to sit, relax and good for people watching.The inside is also very cosy and charming with its bistro chairs and tables, the Italian pop music playing in the background.The waitress Rozanna is amazing - her service is impeccable, she placed a menu and a bottle and glass of water as soon as I sat down, so there is no wait and you immediately feel welcomed 😊.At La Bomboniera, you have everything you need right away - sugar, napkin, spoon, fork, etc. which I often find missing in other places where you have to ask for sugar or a spoon, etc. The cappuccino, expresso coffee, bombolini and paninis are delicious, it feels as if you are transported in Italy 🥰😍!

  • Review 182 (2024-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    I did not have food here as I happened to eat a bit before but I came to work in the cafe with a friend. The staff was amazing as they helped me order a bottle of wine 🍷. I had the Lambrusco, which surprised me, it was soooo good I’ll probably come back again to get it just because. They checked on us every so often, it wasn’t too much & it wasn’t too little. While we were there, they happened to be fixing their A/C so that was kinda crazy. Also their wifi only works for an hour it seems, there was a note on the menu asking to limit laptop use to only one hour so I’m just assuming that’s what happened. Anyway, I love it here, I’ll be back soon

    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.
