Crema's Take

“Jean's expert hand behind the espresso machine at this hospital-based gem ensures that even those catching a break between shifts get a genuinely excellent shot, not just convenient caffeine. The extended hours—opening early and staying late—make it a lifeline for St. Luke's staff navigating round-the-clock schedules, creating a welcoming refuge at any hour. It's the kind of place where consistency and care meet necessity, proving that specialty coffee doesn't need to compromise on accessibility.”

Very nice coffee shop inside of St. Luke's Hospital. It's open early and also very late which is extremely helpful to the staff who are here at all hours. Jean is an amazing barista. The coffees she makes are always perfect. She and I even came up with a concoction together. A Raspberry Espresso Fizz. In a large cup, she makes an Espresso Fizz with only 1 scoop of vanilla powder base, and 1 pump of raspberry syrup. It quenches my thirst as well as fulfills my caffeine needs. The coffee here is of superior quality. I'm extremely happy to have a good coffee shop nearby, and there are even happy hour specials every day!
