Crema's Take

“This Ironbound institution trades slick efficiency for old-school Italian hospitality, with a genuinely skilled espresso bar and kitchen turning out homemade specials like silky eggplant parm alongside proper cappuccinos. It's the kind of place where you'll linger over breakfast or an afternoon coffee, though fair warning—consistency varies depending on who's behind the counter, and portion sizes don't always match the price tag. Still, for authentic Italian café culture in Newark, the warmth and quality of the core product keep regulars coming back year after year.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.

The product is good, but the prices change arbitrarily depending on who serves you. Be careful if you're young, they try to overcharge you.

Caffe Espresso Italia is a true staple in the Ironbound section of Newark and a place I have been visiting for many years. Back in the day the Nona’s ran the counter with the kind of hospitality that made you feel like you were sitting in your own family’s kitchen. Every visit…

Ordered a Taylor ham and cheese with no egg. Attached is the result, disgraceful to sell a sandwich like this for 5.50. Better idea woukd be to charge 7 and put some meat on the bread. Place isn't like it was, never again. Terrible, wish the old crew was still here!!!
