Crema's Take
“Zelma's Golden Milk is a revelation—creamy, perfectly spiced, and served on a charming wooden tray that sets the tone for the whole experience. The staff genuinely remembers regulars' orders and pairs pastries with real care, making this cozy neighborhood spot feel less like a coffee shop and more like someone's living room. Fair warning: card fees are steep, and the vibe can be hit-or-miss depending on who's working, but when it lands, it's exactly the kind of place you'll keep returning to.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

A cozy cafe with a couple of tables and bar seats inside. The staff are really nice and helped me pick out a rhubarb danish (which I hadn't had before) which paired well with the latte I got. Definitely will come back or stop by if I am passing through.

I live in the area and was exploring new cafes. Zelma looked inviting, so I went inside with my Pomeranian. Unfortunately, the staff was extremely unfriendly. I bought a coffee and, since my hands were full, I asked for assistance — which was reluctantly given. When I politely…
