"Third day in a roll! I'm totally hooked. Exceptionally great, specialty coffee. Fenomenal service. Amazing atmosphere. Extremely clean and not too loud or too quiet. I definitely recommend. 5 Stars for sure. Oh and Alba is a great host, very friendly, attentive, and on point with detail."

"The best place in bronx to have coffee and food. The ambience is great. The place is clean and hygienic and the staff is extremely hospitable. They have a separate area for the kids to play. They brew coffee from freshly grounded coffee beans and the place smells devine."

"Very cozy place. I just felt like I was in Manhattan. Is a very nice place to go with friends or yourself. You definitely need to try the cornbread with a mocha coffee. That was my favorite!!!!!"

"I love this cafe! I am so happy to have discovered it. The coffee tastes amazing and they have an abundance of pastries. There’s also a lot of seating. Must visit if you’re in the area!"

"A true Bronx gem! Universe Café is exactly what its name promises—a cozy little universe of flavors, warmth, and charm. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a welcoming atmosphere and staff who treat you like family. The vibe is relaxed, stylish, and perfect whether you’re catching up with a friend or enjoying some solo time with a coffee. Their pistachio cake is absolutely unforgettable—light, creamy, and packed with flavor. The Turkish coffee is bold and authentic, and pairs perfectly with their homemade baklava. Even their croissants are buttery and flaky in all the right ways. Everything tastes like it’s made with care and love. This isn’t just a coffee shop—it’s a place to slow down and enjoy. Whether you’re in the mood for a fresh pastry, a rich dessert, or a beautifully crafted latte, Universe Café delivers every time. Highly recommend. This place deserves all the stars"
