Café Coppola: A Hidden Gem in New York’s West Village
Hello, this is Maegami from the blog Megami no Maegami! It’s been a while since my last café-hopping article in New York, and today I’m excited to introduce a charming little spot in West Village — Café Coppola.
If you’re a fan of Italian-style coffee, this café is a must-visit!
The History and Charm of Café Coppola
Located in the heart of West Village, Café Coppola is a cozy hideaway loved by both locals and tourists. Established in the 1980s, it has grown alongside the neighborhood’s vibrant cultural and artistic scene.
The café’s name comes from the legendary Italian-American filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, making it a favorite spot for movie lovers as well. Personally, I also adore Sofia Coppola’s films, so visiting this café feels extra special.
Cozy Atmosphere with an Italian Touch
One of Café Coppola’s biggest charms is its warm, homey vibe. Antique furniture and soft, rustic décor transport you straight to a small family café in Italy. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, and soak in the neighborhood’s artistic spirit.
What’s on the Menu?
Café Coppola offers a wide variety of authentic Italian coffee — from espresso and cappuccino to creamy lattes. For breakfast and brunch, their croissants and paninis are popular.
Must-try favorites:
- Coppola Special Latte – A perfect balance of smooth espresso and rich, frothy milk.
- Prosciutto & Mozzarella Sandwich – Savory prosciutto paired with fresh mozzarella, served on crunchy baguette.
The café also caters to different dietary needs, with vegan and gluten-free options available.
