Crema's Take
“Sant Ambroeus is an upscale Italian café where the Viennese Cappuccino—a luxuriously creamy take on the classic—is reason enough to make the trek to the Upper East Side. The pastry case is equally compelling, with buttery almond croissants and ricotta cheesecake that justify lingering over your coffee for hours. It's the kind of refined but unpretentious spot where you can disappear into a book, catch up with a friend, or just exist beautifully in a chic neighborhood institution.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

This has been my favorite coffee spot so far in NYC. I learned it was famous after the fact! Love the Viennese Capuchino!

Exquisite, even for their more limited service menu. A must try if you're in the neighborhood and need a nice chill bit delicious hot beverage, pastry or small meal.
Chic cafè in the UES. Went here to try some yummy pastries and it was amazing. The almond croissant and linzer tart were very good. I also love their matcha latte as well. Great spot for small bites and coffee. Highly recommend.
