Caffè Panna's Greenpoint shop is an expansion of the original Gramercy location, occupying a 5,000-square-foot space at the corner of Norman and Banker, of which 3,500 square feet is given over to production, per BKMag. BKMag reported that the Manhattan original regularly drew "lines out the door" and predicted the new corner would be "hopping all summer long" once the Greenpoint shop opened in July 2024. That prediction has held up: Time Out New York describes "a constant line wrapped around the corner" outside the Greenpoint location.
Despite the line, the wait is reported as manageable. The Infatuation writes that "dessert this good justifiably commands a long line, but trust that it will move quickly," and notes the Greenpoint shop has "ample, air-conditioned standing room inside" to wait in. Staff commonly greet people in line to help them plan their order before reaching the window, per The Infatuation, which speeds things along. Customers who just want a pint to go can skip the scoop line entirely and "proceed directly to the pickup window," per the same review.
There is no reservation system for walk-up service — BKMag describes ordering "at the window on Banker Street," and the shop's own site (caffepanna.com) lists it as open Wednesday through Sunday, 1:30–9:30pm, with online ordering only for pint pickup or nearby delivery. The Infatuation notes the location does have a bookable private party room (for 15–25 people) for events, separate from walk-in scoop service.
