It's just, like, a creamier, soupier coffee. I didn't think it would happen so immediately. Wow, I feel like I did not get the espresso, because that was so cold on my tooth. Just from looking at it, it looks pretty decadent and creamy. So I'm gonna start with the classico, just because this is more of a tamer affogato. So, we have the affogato sundae here, and then the classico affogato, which is just sweet cream and caramel sauce, and of course the espresso. Taryn: How do you recommend people eat it? Is this a spoon or is this a drink? So then, this is it, it's got the crunch, it's got the panna, it's got the swirl. Hallie: This, so the cream itself, we're actually getting it, crazily, shipped from Piemonte. Taryn: Is this, like, a thicker cream? This looks kind of dense. Hallie: I definitely ate gelato at least once a day. How many of these do you think you ate while you were in Italy? I just also love pairing things with coffee. Hallie: Yeah, I mean, I love a good traditional affogato. Taryn: So did you have just the traditional version over there? Taryn: What inspired you to turn it into a sundae? 'Cause in Italy, you lived there for a bit, correct? We always like to have a crunch element in our affogato sundaes. And that is basically our Americanized, just fun version of an affogato that has a bunch of different textures and flavors. So we have the affogato classico, and then we have the affogato sundae. Hallie: We decided we wanna make, like, a whole category out of affogato. So, it's super fresh, the ingredients are seasonal. And the flavors of each element change every single day.Ĭustomer: The ice cream is really good. Taryn: Caffè Panna is taking the classic Italian beverage to a whole new level, serving up affogato sundaes full of crunchy mix-ins, sauces, and syrups along with a dollop of cream and a shot of espresso. Hallie: My whole life, I've been surrounded by great food and also an appreciation for what it takes to make it. Her dad is restaurateur Danny Meyer of Shake Shack and Union Square Cafe fame. And while this is her first foray into the food world, she comes from New York City restaurant royalty. Taryn: That's 26-year-old Hallie Meyer, owner of Caffè Panna. So it's, like, a little bit of an indulgence but also, like, very adult. In Italy, it's served at all of these café-bar gelatorias. Hallie Meyer: An affogato is a scoop of ice cream or two with a shot of espresso poured over it. But what happens when you combine espresso with Italian ice cream? Well, we're here to find out. Caffè Panna in Italian means coffee and cream, which is what this Manhattan bar is specializing in. It's like a dessert, it's coffee all in one. It looked like everything, you know, you would want. Taryn Varricchio: On a relatively quiet street in New York, Caffè Panna is one of the newest ice cream shops to grace the city and combining classic Italian ice cream and coffee flavors into inventive desserts.Ĭustomer: It looked dreamy.
