Crema's Take
“The baristas here—particularly Antonio and Christina—treat every espresso like it deserves reverence, and their meticulous approach shows in cups that regulars consistently call the best in Manhattan. Beyond the exceptional coffee, the matcha lattes are genuinely balanced and the pastry selection is so good that the shop's aroma alone might convince you to stay longer than planned. It's a small, quiet spot built for lingering over quality drinks, not rushing through.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Matcha latte with almond milk is absolutely delicious. Not at all bitter and the milk doesn’t overpower the matcha flavor. Bonus points for the fact that this place smells like freshly baked pastries and they play calming coffee shop jazz music. Love it here!

Came only once but loved the cute and uniqueness of this small yet quaint coffee shop. We typically only get black coffee and like to try the pasties they offer. Here, we truly enjoyed both! The baristas were efficient yet polite as they took our order and handed us our drinks.…
