Crema's Take
“This Parkslope gem combines serious espresso craftsmanship with the cozy, unhurried vibe of a true neighborhood third place—the kind of spot where you can linger with your laptop while the aroma of freshly roasted beans surrounds you. Beyond coffee, they've curated an impressive selection of whole beans, loose-leaf teas, and pastries, with knowledgeable staff who clearly care about both their craft and their regulars, even offering a tab system for loyal customers. Whether you're ordering a meticulously pulled espresso drink or exploring their spiced chai and matcha options, you'll find a shop with genuine personality that rewards getting to know it.”

Had to check out this cozy looking coffee shop in Parkslope. I was impressed by the large selection of coffee, accessories, and unique flavored beans. I ordered an Americano, which I enjoyed! I was greeted by a very friendly owner and was served by a friendly barista. EDM music play was definitely a vibe. 🎹 Great spot for to get beans to bring home, or just grab a quick drink.
quaint little coffee shop that sold both loose coffee beans and loose tea. I got the spice chai which was deep and creamy and sweet and highly recommended. it definitely has its own personality. such a tiny shop but feels like a real authentic nook in our neighborhood.
I went into this shop while meandering in the area and stumble upon this cute little shop. I loved the products, but didn’t love the service. The man working the counter didn’t greet anyone who entered (even when addressed first), had his back turned doing nothing the entire time and and when I tried to ask for help was given attitude and brushed off. I am offended that this is the kind of person who works here. Re the products, the teas I purchased were fair and pleasant, the prices were average for loose leaf tea. However I will not return or recommend this place until they can respect the customers who ultimately make this shop possible. The only reason this review isn’t a 1 star is because I believe this shop can be better if customer service improves.
This place is an exceptional place to stop for your custom coffee and tea needs and desires. Fresh brewed coffee and teas, whole beans, loose teas, sweets, and accessories all available for sale. I looked all over Manhattan and for a loose leaf tea strainer for tea cups and finally ended up finding it here! Service was friendly and helpful when I asked about tea strainers. I ordered a chocolate cherry latte and tried a couple of macaroons and both were delicious. #LetsGuide
Kind and friendly staff. They are knowledgable on their coffees and seem to get fresh batches often. It smelled like freshly roasted beans as soon as you walk in. They also offer a 'tab' system where you pay upfront so you can come in on your busy mornings en route to work and just grab your joe and go. Great concept!
