Caffè Aronne Opens on the Upper West Side
Revitalizing Kosher Coffee:
The Upper West Side now offers a notable addition to its coffee scene with the opening of Caffè Aronne, a kosher-certified coffee brand. Previously only available on the Upper East Side, this new location provides a serious coffee experience within the bustling Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, enhancing the community’s kosher options.
Journey of Caffè Aronne:
Founded in 2018, Caffè Aronne began as a catering service and mobile espresso bar, evolving into a beloved flagship shop. After navigating challenges, including community support during protests, owner Aaron Dahan secured full kosher certification in 2024, solidifying the cafe’s role as a community hub.
Menu Highlights:
Caffè Aronne’s menu showcases Levantine and Israeli flavors with unique espresso drinks, including a Cardamom Pistachio Latte and seasonal specials like saffron matcha. The cafe also offers a range of smoothies, toasts (including a smoked salmon avocado toast), and freshly baked pastries, making it a destination for both coffee aficionados and casual visitors.
Designed for Convenience:
The Upper West Side location emphasizes speed and grab-and-go options. With a dedicated service window and an expansive food menu set to launch soon, the cafe caters to the busy lifestyles of JCC visitors. This corner is now the best kosher coffee locale the area has seen, helmed by a brand experienced in serving the community.
Location and Hours:
Caffè Aronne is open Sunday through Friday from 7 AM to 7 PM and is located at 334 Amsterdam Avenue, NY 10023. It operates under the certification of Vaad Kashrus Mehadrin, maintaining a strict no outside food policy.
