Crema's Take
“Sugar Hill Cafe's aroma alone—a potent blend of quality coffee and crispy bacon wafting up from its basement location—signals you've found something special that most Harlem visitors walk right past. The kitchen executes comfort food with real care, from a kimchi Korean omelet to French toast that justifies a return trip, while the wooden tables and cozy vibe make it feel like a neighborhood secret rather than a tourist stop. It's the rare cafe that works equally well for a quick espresso, a leisurely breakfast, or setting up your laptop for hours without feeling rushed.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

My first time walking by the café, I could smell the coffee the bacon it’s like a little kept secret down a few flight of stairs. The atmosphere and vibe is really nice and the food is delicious.
Needed a spot to take a phone call found a new favorite cafe. Nicely decorated I love the wooden tables. Food is great staff is friendly and bathroom was clean. Don’t go to Harlem often but when I am I’ll be sure to stop by again.
Wow. Just wow. Found this hidden place while we were walking around. First it started with just a coffee, later we returned for a break and some food. The tiny but really charming place was perfect for this, the staff is great. We will definitly return to this place. Great job…
A lovely little café that we found by coincidence few weeks ago. Today we went back because the french toast is the best, so fluffy and with fresh berries, the avocado toast very well prepared and tasty. The coffee latte superb but they offer a big variety of hot and cold drinks…
