Ramini Espresso & Cafe

The place is simply beautiful with such a cozy atmosphere! Just a friendly reminder to leave your laptop at home since it’s not allowed here. If you’re looking to take a little break, this cafe is the perfect spot to unwind. And don't miss out on the coffee and walnut cake—it’s absolutely delicious! Enjoy!

Eccentric local cafe with tasty baked goods! It was not too small but not big enough to have 20 people inside to sit together. The cafe was really quiet. Vintage vibe. You can see the owner really thought about the decorations and theme for the cafe. There is no laptop policy though so it is good to read books or talk with your friends. I got the matcha drink which was pretty good. It had a strong matcha flavor without any weird aftertaste. Walnut brownie was really good so is the cookie. I highly recommend this place. I would like to try other baked goods and chai next time.

Fast service, excellent coffee, friendly servers. Small coffee centered shop run by folks who know their coffee. They even have the Kyoto style cold brew - so delicious.

A charming little green oasis tucked amid the Midtown bustle! Ramini is an espresso bar full of character—think vintage decor, leafy plants everywhere, and curated antiques lining every wall. The atmosphere is cozy, a little quirky, and definitely photogenic. The espresso was bright, smooth, and well-balanced—clearly crafted with care. The cheese boureka was a standout: flaky, savory, and satisfying. The croissant and baked egg were decent, but didn’t leave much impression.

Great coffee and delicious pastries! Excellent service and reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Ramini’s Espresso & Cafe is hands down one of the best coffee spots in NYC. It’s right in the heart of Midtown, and the vibe inside is warm and welcoming every single time. Rami is genuinely the best; super kind, remembers people, and somehow makes everything taste even better because of the care he puts into it. I’m a regular and I always order the same thing, so the moment he sees me, he already starts making my drink. When you go, you must try the brownies (seriously, don’t skip them) and the iced matcha with oat milk and a touch of honey (for the matcha lovers). Highly recommend!! This place is a Midtown gem.

Great local coffee house with amazing Kyoto cold press coffee, delicious freshly baked pastries, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere in the shop. I loved going here every morning during my time in NYC.

The Ramini Spice of Life tea was very good. The owner was quick to serve but, more importantly, seemed like a genuinely nice fella. I stopped by on a Friday and when I commented that I would return the next morning to get another tea, he gave me a sample to take home and explained that he would not be open the next morning. Very kind. Thank you.
