Lovely space, wonderful pizza, very nice staff.Best deal in town for a huge gourmet slice with additions for approximately $5 !!!!

Pizza was super fresh and the bread was cooked to perfection.it had the perfect amount of softness with a kick of spice from the pepperoni and crispness. Service was quick and it's a very grab and go type of vibe with a bit of an elevated menu. Would totally suggest this spot for a quick lunch!

I've been to the actual Serafina Restaurant in LES, but, never the Café (express) -- Herbie was awesome! I actually enjoyed his energy and his service more than the food! Haha. The atmosphere is cute... And the lasagna was cool, i was debating between the lasagna and the manicotti, I ordered the lasagna and if you look closely he threw in a manicotti roll for me to try! The food was cool, but, Herbie was the star & he brightened my day! I'd come back just for his service :)

What a delightful addition to the west 8th strip. Pre-workout, I popped my head in to see if this cafe was laptop friendly and was enthusiastically told that it was.. I love the decor and the overall layout of the space. It's very inviting when you walk by it. It got a bit busy roughly 10 mins after I got settled in with my Chai, but I'm happy to report that it never got too loud.The menu is a bit pricey, especially for their breakfast & pastry options, but I think it's in line with most of the spots in this area. I wasn't crazy about that chai I ordered, but the barista was very accommodating when I asked to add some vanilla. For the next visit, I'll try the coffee. My one issue here - no public restrooms for customers. This explains why the crowd quickly cycles in and out. It's definitely a surprise and a bit of an adjustment, but now I know for the next time.

Great spot to grab a salad (I love their dressing) or sandwich. This is a to-go place, so nothing super fancy. But its convenient and relatively healthy. I've found that their online ordering is antiquated, so its easier to just go in and place an order with the human behind the counter (they push toward the online).

Super cute little place! Had a coffee and croissant and the inside was so cute just to sit for a little. The croissant was actually really good and I'd come back for one again and even to try a different food

I love coming to this Serafina Express. Beside being a beautiful setting. The staff is awesome! Herbie and Savannah are so genuinely caring in making sure their customers are happy with the entire experience. I have had delicious pasta here, excellent long espresso and more. Great for picking up something quick or sitting in this bright uplifting decor! Also outdoor seating!

The perfect spot to grab lunch in the West Village! I love all the Serafina restaurants and these express spots are great for a quick bite. The eggplant Parmesan is my favorite. They also have bombolones (go early bc they sell out) and a variety of desserts. Next time I'll grab some of their pizza!
We had a great dinner here on Saturday night. I have to tell everyone that their male server "Robert" was above & beyond with his service. He was very attentive and he made sure everything was great. We love the food, we had Eggplant Parmigiana, Lasagna and Serafina Chicken Salad. We will definitely go back to this place. 5 stars for Robert and the food.
