My cousin and I frequently visited Arthur Avenue in the Bronx aslo known as "Little Italy", a neighborhood celebrated for its rich Italian and Albanian heritage. We loved the vibrant culture, delicious food, and deep history—but every time we visited, something felt incomplete. A truly exceptional espresso. We were amazed to discover that Lavazza—one of the world's finest coffee brands—was nowhere to be found in the heart of Little Italy.

That simple realization ignited an idea: What if we could fill this gap and introduce a world-class espresso experience to this beloved neighborhood? And so, Noya Café was born. At Noya Café, we blend Old World charm with Lavazza espresso culture, creating a welcoming space where every cup pays tribute to tradition and excellence. But great coffee alone wasn't enough. We wanted to complement our espresso with food inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, offering dishes thoughtfully crafted to pair perfectly with every sip.

Barry, Noya's co-owner: My dreams came true when I opened Noya Café. It's a place where I can share my love for great coffee and delicious food with the community.
