NYC Gets A Sip of Maltese Culture At Malta Coffee
Malta Coffee on Lexington Avenue has become a go-to spot for New Yorkers seeking a taste of Malta.
Open since December 2024, the café blends Mediterranean charm with Manhattan café culture, offering custom-roasted coffee alongside traditional Maltese pastries.
The family-owned shop draws inspiration from summers spent in Malta, where café life and baked goods are part of daily tradition.
Inside, the warm atmosphere invites customers to linger over coffee, while items like pastizzi give Maltese expats and locals alike a nostalgic connection to the islands.
Though it’s only been open for a matter of months, Malta Coffee has quickly gained a reputation as a hidden gem on the Upper East Side, with both regulars and first-time visitors praising its mix of heritage and modern café comfort.
