Crema's Take
“Kona Coffee Roasters has built a devoted following around their matcha and espresso-based drinks, with staff that consistently earns praise for genuine friendliness—though their pastry execution is inconsistent, so stick with the beverages. The Chelsea location has that neighborhood coffeehouse feel that makes regulars out of people who live nearby, with solid latte art and a welcoming vibe for lingering over breakfast or meetings. Skip the breakfast sandwiches unless you're willing to take a chance, but come for the drinks and the kind of staff that actually seems happy to see you.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
