Caffè Panna
Ice cream shop · New York
77 Irving Pl, New York, NY 10003
About
Located at 77 Irving Place in New York, Caffè Panna has become a notable destination for ice cream enthusiasts. The shop is widely recognized for its creative approach to frozen desserts, featuring a rotating menu of daily flavors, unique sundaes, and soft serve specials that frequently draw long lines of eager customers. With a solid 4.5-star rating from over 1,400 reviews, the shop has built a reputation for its high-quality, smooth ice cream and signature Italian-style whipped cream, known as panna, which many visitors consider a must-try addition to their scoops. While the shop is a popular spot for those seeking inventive flavor combinations—ranging from fruit-forward sorbets to rich, textured sundaes—the experience is often defined by the anticipation of the queue. Because the most popular daily specials tend to sell out, regulars often suggest visiting earlier in the day to ensure the widest selection. The space itself is designed for quick service rather than lingering, as there is no seating available on-site. While the bustling atmosphere and wait times are part of the shop's local lore, many patrons find the quality of the ingredients and the rotating, imaginative menu to be a rewarding experience for anyone exploring the neighborhood.
