Crema's Take
“This NoHo institution captures that coveted Parisian café energy right in the heart of New York, with a bustling, warm atmosphere that feels equally suited for solo coffee moments or bringing out-of-town family for an unhurried brunch. The pastry game here is genuinely special—think criminally flaky croissants with inventive fillings like pistachio and smoked salmon, alongside standouts like their creamiest pain au chocolat and a surprisingly excellent Cinnabon cruffle that nails the sweetness balance. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself lingering over a rich hot chocolate without feeling rushed, even when the room is full of that energetic, convivial buzz that makes great coffee shops feel alive.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

We ordered the smoked salmon croissant, which was really delicious. The Cinnabon cruffle was the perfect level of sweetness. Absolutely delightful. There's just one issue that significantly affected the experience. I sat in the bakery-only section, and the table was quite dirty…
