Universe Cafe — Restaurant in New York

A true Bronx gem!

Universe Café is exactly what its name promises—a cozy little universe of flavors, warmth, and charm. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a welcoming atmosphere and staff who treat you like family. The vibe is relaxed, stylish, and perfect whether you’re catching up with a friend or enjoying some solo time with a coffee.

Their pistachio cake is absolutely unforgettable—light, creamy, and packed with flavor. The Turkish coffee is bold and authentic, and pairs perfectly with their homemade baklava. Even their croissants are buttery and flaky in all the right ways. Everything tastes like it’s made with care and love.

This isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a place to slow down and enjoy. Whether you’re in the mood for a fresh pastry, a rich dessert, or a beautifully crafted latte, Universe Café delivers every time.
