"Caffè Panna was opened in 2019 by Hallie Meyer as an homage to Italian coffee and gelato. The original location is on Irving Place in Gramercy Park. It offers an array of gelatos, including classic flavors, coffee drinks, and daily new flavors using Greenmarket ingredients. After a pandemic blip, it added hand-packed pints to its offerings. A new outpost in Greenpoint includes an ice-cream factory and seating area. The ice cream is rich and chewy with specific flavors like stracciatella and cookies and cream. The venue offers affogatos and granitas, and the cream is imported from Piedmont and whipped fresh daily. High demand leads to rapid flavor sellouts." - Shauna Lyon
