Crema's Take
“This Hyde Park spot pulls off an ambitious hybrid concept—fresh sushi rolls and Italian-style pizzas paired with specialty coffee—that somehow works better than it has any right to. Reviews are genuinely split between people who call it a hidden gem and those disappointed by execution, so you're taking a calculated risk, but the fans are passionate enough to suggest the kitchen nails it when they're on. Come for the creative sushi rolls and coffee drinks, bring your laptop or meet friends, and hope you land on a good day.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

A true gem in Hyde Park! If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. I highly recommend sitting at the bar—you get to watch the sushi chefs in action, which adds to the experience. The jambalaya to…
You've got to be kidding me, this sushi is so delicious. I saw salmon, green onions, asparagus, and said Who wouldn't! What?!? Genius. This Hyde Park sushi roll must look amazing once pulled-out of the tempura fryer. Wow. Please think about wrapping your Hyde Park with foil to…
