Fellini Coffee Eyes Second UES Location — Here's Where

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Fellini Coffee, a buzzy cafe-by-day, bar-by-night concept with Italian sensibilities, is planning its second location on the Upper East Side, according to recently filed city documents.

The new cafe, which would be located at 135 East 63rd St., near Lexington Avenue, has filed a liquor license request with Community Board 8.

The cafe will take over the space previously occupied by J. Pocker Bespoke Frames & Prints.

The cafe will be the second in the neighborhood, following 1335 Lexington Ave., near East 89th Street, which opened in April.

The cafe's daytime menu features specialty coffee drinks, including a decadent 'Tiramisu Latte' and 'Pistachio Paradiso' latte, in addition to flaky Italian pastries and other cafe fare, and a brunch menu of sandwiches, toasts and eggs Benedict.

At night, the cafe serves salads, pastas, and pizzas, along with Italian wines, as well as a cocktail menu with Negronis, espresso martinis, and various spritzes.

The cafe, which first opened in the West Village in 2023, was founded by chef and restaurateur Franco Noriega.

Fellini also has outposts in SoHo, Chelsea, Meatpacking and the Upper West Side.

"By day, it’s your cozy escape for great coffee. By night, Fellini transforms into a warm, vibrant gathering spot for wine, music, and connection," the cafe said on its website. "Whether you’re here for a quick espresso or a leisurely evening, Fellini is more than a café—it’s a lifestyle."
