An Italian Cafe in Midtown From Espresso to Cocktails
An Italian cafe in Midtown where espresso and chocolate croissants give way to happy hour wine.
☕ Espresso Then Wine
Cappuccino Gino is the Italian cafe in Midtown workers duck into when the street noise gets old. The counter anchors the day with espresso and pastries, chocolate croissants included, while comfy chairs and detailed decor put the room further from Madison Avenue than it really is.
At 167 Madison Ave it reads as a reset between errands or a long stretch of laptop time, with oat milk on hand for anyone who wants it. The twist arrives later, when wine and cocktails join the happy hour and the same cafe mood carries into the evening.
Start with coffee, add something from the pastry case, and let the room decide whether this is a ten minute break or a slower unwind. Doors open at 7 AM on most weekdays, 8 AM Saturday, and 9 AM Sunday, when the day wraps early at 5 PM.
