Fellini Coffee is set to open a new location in the Upper East Side at 1335 Lexington Ave. This will be the brand’s sixth establishment, following successful openings in SoHo, Chelsea, the Meatpacking District, the West Village, and the Upper West Side. Founded by Franco Noriega in 2023, Fellini Coffee operates as a coffee shop during the day and transforms into a wine and cocktail bar in the evening.

The menu features a variety of signature coffee beverages, including the Dolce Vita and Tiramisu lattes, as well as refreshing juices and cold drinks. Patrons can also enjoy a selection of food items, such as croissant sandwiches, toasts, and pastries. The ambiance is described on the Fellini website as a cozy escape for coffee lovers during the day, while the evening atmosphere invites guests to experience a vibrant gathering space filled with wine, music, and connection.

According to details shared at a recent Community Board 8 meeting, the Upper East Side location will feature five tables accommodating up to 11 guests, along with an eight-seat bar. The establishment will operate daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., although an opening date has yet to be confirmed.

Fellini Coffee’s expansion reflects its growing popularity and commitment to offering a unique café experience. With a focus on creating a welcoming environment, the brand aims to establish itself as more than just a café; it seeks to embody a lifestyle choice for its clientele. As the opening approaches, coffee and wine enthusiasts in the Upper East Side can look forward to a new destination that promises both quality beverages and a lively atmosphere.
