Caffe bene operates more than 1,200 cafes across the globe.
The company has opened five cafes in New York/New Jersey since it entered the US market in 2012. Those franchises are located in Times Square, Flushing, Fashion Institute of Technology, Fort Lee, NJ, and Palisades Park, NJ.

Its stores attempt to replicate the look and feel of traditional European coffeehouses.
