Crema's Take
“This hidden gem in Long Island City is part coffee shop, part educational hub, where you can sip an exceptionally flavorful espresso—like their natural process Colombia that tastes unexpectedly fruity—while learning the craft from knowledgeable instructors who break down every element of your drink. The space offers plenty of seating for lingering over a deconstructed latte or exploring their recently roasted single-origin and blend options, making it equally welcoming whether you're a coffee curious newcomer or a serious enthusiast ready to get hands-on with a commercial espresso machine. Though tucked away and easy to miss near Hunters Point, regulars and coffee lovers consistently rave about the quality and care that goes into every cup.”

I had a great experience with this coffee class. Not only did I learn the fundamentals of coffee, but I also had hands-on experience using a professional commercial espresso machine. The instructor was energetic and engaging, explaining key concepts in a clear and easy-to-understand way. The combination of theory and practical practice made the learning process very effective and enjoyable. I walked away with real, usable knowledge.
Genuinely can’t believe this place has been here for so long and I had no idea. So close to Hunters Point, but on the other side of the tracks so hard to find. Worth the visit. Deconstructed latte was amazing, work space and WiFi were great. Clearly they know coffee.
Nice cafe with plenty of seating. They sell both blends and single origin coffee beans roasted recently. A little tricky to find but worth while.
This place blew my mind. I had the most flavorful espresso. A natural process Colombia, but tastes as if it is co-fermented with fruits. Absolutely asking place. They also teach coffee. Coffee enthusiast heaven
Such a fun coffee spot! It’s a coffee school where they brew some amazing, fresh coffee. My wife got the deconstructed latte and the barista broke down how to experience it. There was a seltzer, espresso, frothed milk a cookie and the latte. It was so yummy! I had the coconut latte and it was amazing with the perfect amount of kick caffeine and coconut flavor with chunks of coconut on the bottom. Coconut is my favorite flavor in almost everything. This place is a must if your in the area.
