Caffè Bene

One of my late-night latte regulars Not many cafés open late in the city (outside of places like Jaho or Dunkin). Caffe Bene is a Korean chain I used to visit back in middle school in Seoul, and even though the menu looks completely different now, there’s still a bit of nostalgia walking in. I usually go for the strawberry latte or the misutgaru latte. Both are closer to smoothies than traditional lattes, but they’re satisfying in that dessert-drink way. Sweet, thick, and easy to sip on while lingering for a while. The food side was just ok (except for bingsu). The Strawberry cheesecake tasted like it was liberated from a grocery store freezer and then held for ransom at a premium price. So skip the snacks, grab a “latte”, and soak in the chaotic, vibrant energy of a thousand BU and Nor

Nothing but praise for the quality and the selection. Beautiful spacious hard wood lobby. I simply don’t understand why the chairs are wider than the tables. You have to rearrange furniture just to get in, and then lean over on the edge of a hard wooden chair the whole time - an ergonomic disaster.

The matcha was not good at all. It was so powdery, didn’t blend. Couldn’t even have a bit. The person working there said matcha is little earthy and didn’t do anything about it. But no I’ve had matcha at every other place but this was bizarre This is the photo after 1 hr looks powdery

Both Restrooms were out of order. How do employees work like that? Caffeine is a diuretic, causing people to have to pee. Definitely not a good first impression. On a better note, coffee had real ground hazelnut in it and I could still get a decaf that way.

Amazing food and ample seating! Had the strawberry honey toast, a breakfast sandwich, coffee, and mango smoothie. Would highly recommend!
