Crema's Take
“The Cafe trades specialty roasting for something more pragmatic: a serene 12th-floor perch in the Ritz-Carlton with a genuinely welcoming staff and house-made pastries that justify the trip even if the Starbucks coffee doesn't. It's the kind of place where you'll actually want to linger over a meeting or remote work session, thanks to a beautiful outdoor deck and reasonable prices for the location, though you'll want to sort out your wi-fi situation before settling in for the day.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.
