UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Fellini Coffee, a highly-Instagrammable cafe-by-day, bar-by-night concept with Italian sensibilities, is opening on the Upper East Side next week.

After much anticipation, the new cafe will officially open on April 16 at 1335 Lexington Ave., near East 89th Street, the cafe wrote on Instagram.

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