Zibetto Espresso Bar

This dark, poorly decorated, small place serves one of the best espresso drinks I’ve ever tasted. Dark roasted, full bodied packed with hazelnut and brown sugar flavors. Their cappuccinos and cortados are unreal, prepared so skillfully that you just have to order a second one after your first sip. Definitely a Top 3 among the coffees that I’ve tasted in the US.

My absolute favorite and expresso/atte/Coffee paradise. If you love coffee then this place is for u. I am here 2-3 times a week.. the place has a charm and coffee takes you to a Paris cafe.. it’s well priced and they have a lot of bite sized condiments.. my fav fav fav thing is mini bambalini it’s a bite that’s worth it.. I highly recommend a visit . Crowd varies from suited finance bro’s , tourists to regulars like me

It's a comparatively tight space with standing bar space and sidewalk seating. Great coffee and tasty treats. I was here many years ago. To my great surprise, not much has changed since, it felt like. Easy, no frills but elegantly friendly espresso based coffee bar, serving own coffee, teas, a variety of pastries, cannolis and sandwiches. It was pouring buckets outside when I stepped in. This part of the city that has always remained shaded through all kinds of weather is now piled with swatches of all degrees of grey, and a deeper, unrelenting blue. Everyone that walked through the door is a regular. The barista knew their drinks, knew their life events. And the regulars wished them luck on the broken dishwasher. I was welcomed, as a silent observer, to their tight community, surviving on these streets where no one knows my name.

Tbh I must say coffee was just fine. The milk foam was not that creamy but the cocoa powder that was added on was a plus. Pastries were delicious, although slightly expensive.I had the apricot cookie and a vanilla cream & cherry pie. Highly recommend the apricot cookie. The oval pie shell was good, cream filling was good too. But for the cherry.. it was literally ONE cherry, dried. So I’ll say just get the pie with only cream. Anyway, staff was the reason I enjoy my stay yesterday. 4 stars eventually. Other wise I’ll give a 3.. still, a fine spot to take a break!

Great little spot near Central Park. The Cappuccino was delicious and was perfect on a chilly, rainy, foggy day in New York! The croissant/cornetto and the little donut I ordered were a tad harder than I'd have liked, but still tasty. The server was charming and energetic. She photobombed one of my photos below, while I was trying to snap a pic of the store hours. There are no chairs inside, as it's very small and narrow, but there are four little stand-up shelves to lean on by the wall. Careful you don't bump into anyone in line behind you, though. Overall, I can see this place getting packed pretty quickly on days with better weather, but it wasn't crowded at all when I went on a Saturday afternoon in Manhattan. Definitely recommending the coffee, and try your luck with the pastries. Maybe you'll fare better and get freshly baked ones. Cappuccino was $5.05 Sfogliatelle (tiny donut holes) was $5.52 for 2 Cornetto (croissant equivalent) was $3.44. Total spent: $18.30 with tax and everything. 4/5 stars from me
