It’s definitely a must if you’re around Lincoln Center at breakfast, lunch or dinner time. Had a great experience there. The ambience is so nice and cozy, they have a great decoration too. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. And the food is amazing! I asked for a recommendation on what to eat that was gluten free and I can say that they have not disappointed. The eggplant Parmesan was so good and satisfying. My favorite was the Quinoa Salad with Salmon. I loved it! Definitely one of my favorite places to eat now!

LOVE Cafe Paradiso! If you’re looking for a cozy, intimate spot with a welcoming atmosphere and delicious Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, Café Paradiso in NYC is the place to be. Nestled in the heart of the city, this quaint café offers a perfect blend of flavors, warm service, and a relaxed vibe that makes it ideal for both casual lunches and more special moments. Ambiance: As soon as you step inside, the modern yet rustic décor immediately sets the tone. Light pours in through large windows, and the soft hum of chatter adds to the comforting vibe. The interior has a stylish European café feel, with wood accents and artful touches that give the space a vibrant yet peaceful feel. Food: The menu at Café Paradiso offers a variety of Mediterranean-inspired dishes with fresh, high-quality ingredients. For lunch, I highly recommend flatbreads, or one of the amazing soups, sandwiches or salads! If you’re in the mood for something lighter, the Hummus and Pita Plate is a delicious choice, offering creamy hummus with freshly baked pita and a side of marinated olives. The balance of flavors in each dish is impressive, with just the right amount of seasoning that enhances the natural ingredients. Drinks: Café Paradiso offers a solid selection of wines and craft cocktails. I tried their Mediterranean Mule, a refreshing twist on the classic, with flavors of cucumber, mint, and a splash of citrus. It paired wonderfully with the meal, but for non-drinkers, the Fresh Lemonade is a bright, invigorating option. Service: The staff at Café Paradiso is attentive and friendly, providing excellent service without being intrusive. They take time to explain the menu and are quick to offer recommendations.

Dare I say the best chicken caesar wrap EVER?! We had an amazing time and cannot wait to visit again. This place is a gem within Lincoln Center and the perfect place to stop in for a sit down meal or a quick bite and coffee to go.

We stumbled upon this gem of a cafe, and we really loved the margarita pizza as well as the caramel moose iced coffee. The coffee was a 10/10, I highly recommend it. Our server was also amazing, if you go ask for Robert, he was a gentleman and just a great guy to speak with. Would 100% come back here to try some other things.
