The nutella cafe of your dreams opens today with the arrival of the Nutella Cafe

EVG reader Doug shared these photos (from Sunday) from outside the Nutella Cafe, which opens today on 13th Street and University Place...



This is only the second Nutella Cafe in the ENTIRE WORLD (Chicago was the first). Menu items at the NYC location include pound cake panzanella with yogurt and berries, topped with — wait! — Nutella and toasted hazelnuts ($11). A grilled baguette comes topped with — ding ding! — Nutella ($7), and a brioche sandwich is filled with Nutella-flavored gelato ($9). (H/T Eater for that info.) If you want more menu details and pics, then check out this Bustle Nutella preview.

The cafe is in the retail space of the Adjmi Architects-designed seven-story condoplex where the starting prices for the homes are $6 million.

The corner previously housed University Place Gourmet as well as several adjacent storefronts, including Bennie Louie Chinese Laundry. Their leases weren't renewed and the corner was demolished.

That Nutella Cafe is shaping up on University Place

More than a year has passed since news of the first NYC Nutella Cafe came out (via the Commercial Observer).

Anyway, the Nutella signage is now wrapped around the 2,200-square-foot corner space at 116 University Place and 13th Street. (The signage arrived perhaps a month ago.)

Nutella Cafe New York, which is expected to open next month, will feature a (duh) Nutella-inspired menu and specialty espresso beverages.

As previously reported, the Adjmi Architects-designed seven-story condoplex will feature one unit per floor. The starting prices for the homes are $6 million.

NYC's first Nutella Cafe coming to University and 13th Street

The retail space in the base of the in-progress condoplex on 13th Street and University Place will house the city's first Nutella Cafe. (There's a Nutella kiosk in the Eataly food hall.)

According to the Commercial Observer, who first reported on this yesterday, the cafe and coffee bar will occupy 2,200 square feet here at 116 University Place.

The first U.S. Nutella Cafe, in Chicago, "serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, including waffles, croissants, crepes, panini, and family-style fondue," per Eater.

As previously reported, the Adjmi Architects-designed seven-story condoplex will feature one unit per floor. The starting prices for the homes are $6 million.

The corner previously housed University Place Gourmet as well as several adjacent storefronts, including Bennie Louie Chinese Laundry.

Developer Ranger Properties paid $22 million for the lot.
