UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — A popular cafe with two Yorkville locations has just opened a third coffeeshop in Lenox Hill.

Madame Bonté opened their third Upper East Side cafe on East 66th Street and Third Avenue this weekend, taking over a location long home to hair salons.

The Parisian-inspired cafe first opened on East 94th Street and Second Avenue in 2020, followed by a second location the next year on East 84th Street — both near Second Avenue.

The café describes itself as a "meticulously decorated, cozy atmosphere," and has over 20 employees.

Co-sibling-owner Deniz Karafazli told East Side Feed that the menu will be similar to the East 84th Street location, and may seek to add beer and wine in the future.
