Small store with friendly barista. Variety of coffee drinks, macarons and a few pastries. For non dairy options they only have soy. The soy latte I got was only mediocre. In New York there is an abundance of excellent high quality espresso drinks for the same price. The small soy latte was $4 so a pretty premium price. The espresso taste wasn't strong or smooth and it tasted more like coffee flavored soy milk.
You would think that finding a little cafe to grab a cup of coffee to go would be easy in NYC, especially since in some areas there are literally two starbucks on the same block. But in this area, cafes are hard to find!
Thank goodness this little tiny cafe was here. We tried one other one before this, but it wasn't really one of those grab a cup of coffee and go places. Buongiorno was exactly that. We got our well deserved Iced Coffee for the usual iced coffee price, and was it the best coffee in the world? Not really, but it was pretty decent, and it was cold, and after walking around in hot NYC it definitely was exactly what we needed at that moment. They also have sandwiches and little pastry things in case you need a snack, and an awkward door that links up with a salon type place next door–coffee and pastries goes with getting your hair done right? ha ha But the service was nice, there are only two tables in here though pretty much, so don't roll in with a large group, cheers to Buongirono for getting us our coffee fix we needed so badly!
Thanks, Yelp, for bringing up this place when I was in the neighborhood and needed a quick cup of coffee before heading to a rehearsal. Though the atmosphere is a little cramped, the cappuccino here was nice, and well made, served by a friendly barista. I had a vanilla croissant, filled Italian-style instead of more a traditional French croissant, and it was early enough in the morning that it was still warm. mmmm
I was pretty disappointed with this place since it's right under my apartment and could've been a common haunt. I ordered an iced coffee and bagel and was pretty surprised by the high price. Ended up with a watery brew and stale-tasting bagel. Will not be back.
Great coffee, good price and friendly staff! Definitely a great pick-me-up spot in Hell's Kitchen.
It only got 2 stars because the guy making my espresso drink was making it in a suit!

Buongiorno Espresso, please take my 6 bucks for the hands down, best iced mocha latte in the city.
God bless us. Everyone.
So this place is adorable and totally unexpected in this completely dumpy neighborhood.
I had a job interview in the area and decided to have a celebratory coffee after. And I am totally glad I did. First off, I was blown away by how nice the people working there were. The guy sweeping the floor even said hi how are you to me! And the woman serving me who I think is the owner was so cute and sweet and clearly remembered the regulars orders who were behind me.
And my iced espresso was great! Creamy and flavorful and I didnt have to put a drop of anything in it.
Now lets hope I get the job and I will return 🙂
