Crema's Take
“Kaffe Åre prioritizes quality espresso drinks and thoughtful pastries over speed, so come here when you have time to linger rather than grab-and-go. The spacious, minimalist interior with generously spaced tables is a rare luxury in NYC, making it excellent for working or meeting a friend, though service moves deliberately enough that you should plan accordingly. The coffee and food are genuinely good, though a few reviewers have noted quality control issues worth being aware of.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Small cute coffee shop with good products overall. First of all, the drinks are directly made to go, without the waiter even asking, which I didn’t expect. The atmosphere is nice, but the vibe overall is not cozy and the staff is not very attentive. People come in and go all the…
A nice cafe to work from. Though seats are plenty, it was relatively busy when I went. There is a clean restroom in the basement, which is always a huge plus. I ordered a blue bowl. They were nice enough to sub the banana for me. Though I was a little disappointed at the bowl.…
