Outstanding coffee, passed by this morning for a cappuccino which was excellent. It’s a small shop so there are no places to sit, I enjoyed my coffee standing by the bar. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Will come back these days for sure!

Not very friendly service, but they were pretty busy. Such a great latte (one shot of espresso, can't handle two!). It was so good I barely needed any sweetener at all. Can't wait to go back!

I had the silkiest, best tasting cappuccino AND expresso I’ve had in recent memory. Very small, quaint, and clean coffee shop. Definitely worth stopping in here!
Dylan Halliu
Great spot for a good coffee!

Not much space inside, but drinks are quality, pretty close to Central Park as well - cappuccino was very good.

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

This is hands down the best lattes we’ve had anywhere!!! Staff is so, so nice and the whole place feels very family-like and authentic. Plus, they have vegan croissants and plant based milks!!! Visited this place every day when in NYC.

Zibetto’s is a simply amazing little cafe. Espresso and a croissant was a great start to the day. Located just two blocks Central Park.

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.

The best espresso in town! Really classic Italian espresso, you can’t go wrong with that! My Italian friend said it was exactly the same in his home town in Turin, great approval!
Yvonne Garrity
Enjoyed a 3-day trip to NYC and got my cappuccino on each day at Zibetto! It was that good! Pastries are fresh and amazing, but the espresso is what had me hooked.
Salvatore
This is the ONLY Italian cafe in town. Perfect baristas, heavenly smells, and the best macchiato this side of the Atlantic. Please don’t come here because I want the morning bar all to myself .
Oscar Frohlich
Super small inside, but nonetheless some of the best coffee you can find near here. Quality was excellent and lots of little cookies to accompany.
Ryan Dalusung
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

Perhaps THE best coffee and espresso I had in Manhattan. (And the service staff was insanely nice and happy-go-lucky). Highly recommend this place.
