Crema's Take
“Buddies Coffee has cracked the code on a signature drink that justifies the hype: their coquito latte is a rich, genuinely coquito-forward creation that tastes nothing like a standard seasonal drink and keeps people coming back. The tiny Williamsburg spot pairs that distinctive coffee with a cultured, genuinely cozy vibe from owners who actually care, making it feel like you've discovered something real rather than stumbled into another Instagram-bait café. If you can handle a small interior and don't mind waiting a few minutes, this is absolutely worth the detour.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
