Caffe Paradiso is a small coffee counter at 202 Elizabeth St with only a few bar seats and a bench outside. It is built for grab-and-go, not sitting, so the line forms on the Nolita sidewalk rather than indoors. The Infatuation notes the drinks "tend to attract people who like taking pictures of their coffee and are willing to stand in line to do it."
The draw is the salted brown butter oat latte, served on tap instead of pulled per drink. The Infatuation credits the team behind the Greenwich Village bar Dante and points to photogenic pours like the Paradiso Cream Top (an iced americano with cream that sinks in as you sip) and an iced white chocolate shakerato. Because the crowd is largely photo-driven, demand tracks social buzz more than a fixed rush hour.
A Lemon8 reviewer calls the line "wild," references standing around for 20+ minutes at busy times, and frames a visit as a "commit to the experience" situation, advising off-peak timing and to go in "mentally prepared." Reviewers add that the tap setup keeps the line moving since there is little to order. If you get your drink and there is no seat, The Infatuation suggests carrying it to Elizabeth Street Garden across the street.

They also note it moves, since the signature latte pours from a tap and there is little to order. (No live damnlines camera here yet — this is reported guidance, not a live count.)
A Lemon8 reviewer recommends off-peak timing over peak daytime hours, and going in "mentally prepared" if you cannot avoid the rush. The Infatuation notes the crowd is largely photo-driven, so quieter stretches track slow social days more than any fixed hour.
