Crema's Take
“The baristas here treat coffee selection like a sommelier moment—they'll have you taste multiple single-origin brews and custom espresso blends before you decide what to drink, turning a quick caffeine run into an actual discovery. The Upper West Side locals keep coming back for their impeccable roasting and genuinely knowledgeable staff who can guide you whether you're grabbing a cup or buying beans to take home. Fair warning: in-shop consistency can be hit or miss, but when they nail it, you'll understand why people are evangelizing about this tiny spot.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Pastries on the menu.

A true NYC gem - i asked for whatever they recommend for espresso , they made a 1/4 lb blend of two kinds of beans. I just came home and made myself a cup… WOW its so good. In a neighborhood filled with luxury clothing stores, this spot is very special. Support your local small…
Tiny cute shop, some baristas are super nice. Have come to this place a lot in the past year but two things are I think just too much: 1. Highly inconsistent in-shop coffee flavours. I think the taste depends on the person making it, and sometimes it’s really good, and…
