APERITIVO in NYC: The Coffee & Tea Ritual

West Village café & wine bar

Coffee first.
Aperitivo later.

Espresso, tea, pastries and something simple to eat. Come for coffee, stay for lunch, or let the day move naturally into wine, oysters and spritzes.

A daily ritual

Stay for ten minutes or let the visit become part of the day.

01

At the bar

An espresso and a quick pause before the day begins.

02

With something small

A cappuccino, tea or pastry by the window.

03

Stay a little longer

A sandwich, salad or glass of wine.

04

Then aperitivo

Oysters, spritzes and something to share.

Coffee & tea

Choose the drink that fits the moment.

Familiar espresso drinks, slower brews, teas and specialty lattes.

Espresso

Espresso, macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, latte and Americano.

Slower & colder

Cold brew and pour over.

Tea

Chamomile, rooibos chai, mint verbena, green tea, Earl Grey, English breakfast, peach black tea and hibiscus.

Make it yours

Oat, pistachio and almond milk, plus house syrups including vanilla, lavender, maple brown sugar, salted caramel and mocha.

Specialty lattes

Flavor first. A reason behind each one.

Each specialty latte brings a distinct flavor, caffeine level and place in the day.

01

Beetroot

Earthy, gently sweet and naturally vibrant.

Beetroot naturally contains dietary nitrates, which the body can convert into nitric oxide, a compound involved in normal blood flow.

Caffeine-free · Bright and grounding
02

Turmeric

Warm, aromatic and softly spiced.

Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound studied for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Here, it is presented as a flavorful daily ingredient.

Caffeine-free · Warm and comforting
03

Matcha

Fresh, vegetal and full-bodied.

Matcha naturally contains caffeine and L-theanine, a combination studied in relation to attention and alertness.

Caffeinated · Focused daytime energy
04

Hojicha

Roasted, nutty and mellow.

Hojicha is roasted Japanese green tea, known for its toasted aroma and generally lower caffeine content than many other green teas.

Lower caffeine · Soft afternoon ritual
05

Chai

Fragrant, spiced and comforting.

Black tea and warming spices create a rounder, more aromatic alternative to coffee, with caffeine coming naturally from the tea.

Moderate caffeine · Familiar and warming

General food and beverage information only. These drinks are not presented as medical treatments.

Something with your coffee

A quick pastry, or a reason to stay.

Choose something simple for a quick stop, or stay for breakfast, smoked salmon, burrata on ciabatta, sandwiches and salads.

From coffee to aperitivo

The room changes gradually.
