Crema's Take

The Uptown Garrison is pulling double duty as both a serious brunch destination and a proper coffee shop, with a kitchen that executes everything from shrimp and grits to pepperoni pizza with equal confidence. The vibe leans convivial and unhurried—perfect for lingering over specialty drinks and pastries with friends—though you'll want to come with realistic expectations about pricing and occasional inconsistency in execution. If you're exploring Harlem and want a reliable spot that won't make you choose between good coffee and good food, this is worth the stop.

What to expect

Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Great place with a solid cocktail selection. I’d def recommend pepperoni & peppers and mushroom pizzas, garrison burger, calzoniti, and cookie skillet.

We came here for Restaurant Week, and we chose this location because we wanted to check out something a lil closer to Harlem where we hadn't really had the chance to explore the neighborhood. Also they included a nice variety of cocktails with dinner, an appetizer, a main ,and…
