Stumbled upon this place looking for some coffee to get me through the rest of the evening and I'm so happy we did.
My gf ordered an espresso martini that was so good she got a second one almost immediately. I opted for a couple of cappuccinos.
We sat outside and they were very helpful keeping us warm and out of the rain while enjoying our drinks outside. The rain and the adorable location helped set a tone to get us ready for the rest of our evening.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 15, 2024
Sant Ambroeus is a cute little spot to have coffee, a little snack and some sweets. It is a small place with a limited (4-5?) number of tables for two and some outside seating, though it was a bit too cold for outdoor seating.
I had a salami sandwich which was the perfect size for a little afternoon snack and not too spendy. I also got hazelnut gelato, and I expected to get a tiny little scoop but was surprised to get two delicious and giant scoops of gelato.
It's a great spot to meet a friend for coffee or a snack.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - 16857Feb 12, 2024
Cake was delightful. Cute spot with nice ambience. No bathroom for customers. Expensive and small. Service was a bit slow especially for a Sunday morning when I was the only customer for a drink. I feel like the cakes and gelato are worth a splurge for when you want a sweet treat or to celebrate an occasion. Drinks weren't impressive.

I love this place!! The vibes are so nice and it's the perfect place to get ice cream on a summer night. I also tried their "affogato" cocktail which was one of the most unique cocktails I've had. It was like a Negroni poured over a scoop of lemon sorbet - so refreshing and satisfied my ice cream cravings while adding an extra kick!

Highly recommend, place has awesome vibes, delicious gelato (I'd recommend the chocolate or hazelnut especially), and looks beautiful! Everyone was super friendly there as well. 100% would suggest for coffee, a quiet drink, or dessert.

I love this cafe! The ambiance and the service are typically superb. As a frequent customer , I was quite disappointed by the presentation of this tiramisu especially considering price point and location. Maybe a ramekin of some kind could fix this issue. This place is too picturesque for something like the tiramisu to knock it's rating. Overall nice place !

Beautiful space, has a cozy and chic coffee shop vibe. We stopped in here for a drink before dinner and ordered wine and hot chocolate. One of the best hot chocolates I've had, made with dark chocolate and it's delicious. It's counter service, so you can order to go as well.

while it wasn't the best gelato i've ever had, it was quite delicious!! the ambiance, being right next to the restaurant, was really nice and cozy. the staff were courteous, though the man working the gelato station didn't seem like he wanted to be there too much.
I got the hazelnut which was splendid, and my friend got pistachio and hazelnut- he said both were great! we sat outside people watching at 9 pm on a weeknight. next time i'd love to try the restaurant! they have cute outdoor seating.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - France C.New York, NY963334Apr 24, 2022
In a nutshell: Great spot for people watching in a weather permitting day, its exquisite desserts and lovely packaging it's only diminished by poor customer service and operating hours.
BEST
Although I haven't tried all deserts on the menu, when it comes to flavor, texture and consistency both the SoHo and West Village deliver an exquisite Gianduia cake is that is simply 5 stars. If you are a dessert lover who isn't looking for sugar free or vegan options this is a MUST try place. Ideally to take a date, it's a place that calls for more for intimate experiences. For entrepreneurs, you could work here on your phone, perhaps sit down to handwrite notes for awhile but... not to pull out your laptop and work hours on end.
BAD
This is not a work place per se or a place to bring food or containers from other places (I witnessed the manager having to come to an outside table to tell the patrons to please not to pull out their tupperware...). My first experience here was a 5 taken in consideration I sit down for cake and an equally satisfying almond cappuccino, but the I had to follow up to have my order brought to me. My next and most recent visit, at night time, was very disappointing when it came to service.
If you know you are about to close, you need to tell the client when saying he wants to have the order outside... Not allow me to tip as if I were to be serviced outside only to, after waiting for awhile on an empty café only to be brought my order on a bag to go because they are about to close. Really?! I felt fooled and is a shame because is a wasted opportunity.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
