Caffé Bene

“The coffee is expertly brewed, rich and full of flavor.”

Jenny V.★★★★★

Had banana peanut butter croissant and banana walnut honey bread, with caramel mocha and house coffee. All very delicious before a shopping trip down the street to Chinatown and Little Italy.

Every time we went out for breakfast, we came here. We highly recommend this place—they have just the right selection and high-quality ingredients. Thank you so much—thanks to you, our days in New York always started off great. P.S. I absolutely fell in love with your Bacon Egg Avocado Bagel and the Bacon, Egg & Avocado open-face sandwich.

The hidden gem..you could walk past Caffe Bene a dozen times without a second glance; tucked on Canal Street, modest signage, no line out the door. That’s entirely your gain. I came in expecting decent coffee and maybe a passable bite. I did not expect to be genuinely wowed by the food. But here we are. The smoked salmon, egg, and avocado toast is the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite. The salmon was silky and fresh, layered generously over creamy avocado and a perfectly cooked egg on toast that actually held up to the whole thing. It’s the sort of plate you’d expect to pay $22 for at

12/31/2025 - Would I come back? Yes Food- The waffles were very crispy rather than light and fluffy, which didn't suit my taste. The fruit was fresh, though the strawberries in this batch were slightly bitter. The bacon was perfectly crispy. While the sausage had great flavor, it was a bit underdone for my liking; next time, I would request it well-done. The eggs were undercooked compared to the promotional photos and lacked any seasoning. Fortunately, the saltiness of the bacon helped balance the flavor, but I will specify "well-done" and if they can add salt and pepper on my next visit. Se
