Confectionary giant Ferrero officially opened the doors of its highly-anticipated Nutella Cafe New York to the public today (Wednesday 14th November) – over half a century after Italian confectioner Mr Michele Ferrero created the now world-famous chocolate hazelnut spread.

​

Located at 13th Street and University Place near Union Square, Nutella Cafe New York is the second Nutella restaurant owned and operated by the company in the US. The first Nutella Cafe opened in Chicago in May 2017, offering a menu of Nutella-centric dishes and specialty espresso beverages.

 

“We are thrilled to celebrate the grand opening of the Nutella Cafe New York in one of the greatest culinary cities in the world,” said Rick Fossali, Vice President of Operations, Nutella Cafe. “The response to our first Nutella Cafe in Chicago has been outstanding, and we cannot wait to treat New Yorkers and tourists alike to a wonderfully delicious Nutella experience showcasing the uniqueness and versatility of this beloved product.”
