Ramini Espresso & cafe

Ramini Espresso & Cafe is a small, calm coffee shop in Manhattan's Fashion District. It's bright and airy for its size, and you'll hear birdsong inside. There's a mix of high chairs, benches, two tables and a small sofa, so it's best for a short coffee break or a quiet chat, and it can fill up at peak times.

They don't roast on-site. Their signature blend comes from a Brooklyn roaster. Flat whites and cortados are the go-to orders. They make their own syrups and caramel, which show up in the vanilla lattes and iced coffees.

The pastries are baked fresh and include gluten-free options. Try the raspberry fig bars and apple turnovers, which aren't too sweet, or a croissant.
