Caffè Panna
16 Norman Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“This Williamsburg gem is beloved for its exceptional affogato featuring house-made ice cream that's rich enough to steal the show, paired with carefully pulled espresso that draws serious coffee enthusiasts back repeatedly. Beyond the coffee, the warm, attentive service and inviting family-friendly atmosphere make it feel less like a transaction and more like a visit to a place that genuinely cares—though their hot chocolate skews sweeter than traditional, so espresso drinks and affogatos are where they truly shine.”

Panna Caffè – Williamsburg, Brooklyn Visited Panna Caffè in Williamsburg and it absolutely lives up to the hype. The affogato with cookies and cream ice cream is a must — rich espresso poured over creamy ice cream with amazing flavor and texture. A perfect balance of bold coffee and sweet dessert. There’s usually a long line wrapped around the corner, but don’t let that discourage you — it moves fast and is definitely worth the wait. The staff works quickly and the quality makes it clear why this place is so popular. Great stop while walking around Williamsburg, Brooklyn, especially if you’re exploring the neighborhood and looking for a unique dessert or coffee experience. Highly recommend. #WilliamsburgBrooklyn #BrooklynEats #Affogato #NYCFoodie #DessertSpot #PannaCaffe #NYCRestaurants
Came in for the first time and was blown away — not just by the ice cream (incredible btw) but by the service. The girl at the register made the whole experience. Warm, attentive, genuinely great energy. Already planning my next visit. Caffè Panna doesn't miss.
The hot chocolate was not as expected. Too sweet, and their whipped cream is also not light and fluffy, its really sugary. The hot choc is made of milk chocolate and so seems very sweet.
Fabulous Place. Fresh and Delicious. 100 percent recommended. Better than the rest and everyone is so wonderful. I will never buy ice cream from any other place. Each time we order our taste buds are satisfied. No matter what flavor, it hits the spot just right each time. Fairly priced for such great quality and generous size. Forget about the other guys. Wish I lived closer.
The second Caffe Panna location, this spot is in Greenpoint and the perfect spot to grab a sweet treat. They have an indoor seating section here, which is great. The menu items here are practically the same as their Manhattan location, and quality is the same. Amazing, rich and creamy ice cream as always and great topping choices. Love Caffe Panna!
