Hallie Meyer

Hallie Meyer founded Caffe Panna in 2019. It is an artisanal ice cream business that combines elements of both the Italian gelato and American ice cream traditions. Raised in New York, Hallie cooked in southern Italy, at the Rome Sustainable Food Project, and in the beloved Roman gelateria Otaleg. Caffe Panna ice creams and sorbets are available in Gramercy, Greenpoint, via Goldbelly, and in shops and restaurants throughout the New York area. Caffe Panna has been featured in The New York Times, Eater, People, and INSIDER Food. In a rave review shortly after opening the first shop, New York magazine named their affogato sundae the best new dessert of the year, calling Meyer’s ice cream “weirdly, extraordinarily great.” A graduate of Yale, Hallie lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two young children.
