Crema's Take
“Café Esme is a European-style neighborhood gem that nails the cozy-yet-sophisticated café experience with consistently excellent specialty lattes and hand-crafted pastries that taste like they're made with real care. The warm, aesthetic atmosphere and genuinely friendly baristas make it feel like a welcoming escape whether you're flying solo with a book or bringing your whole family for a leisurely afternoon. This is the kind of place that restores your faith in local coffee culture—where every visit feels intentional and a little bit special.”

Such a cute café! I have no idea why it took me so long to discover this gem. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the whole place feels so aesthetic with warm, cozy vibes. Absolutely loved it. My server, Oksana, was lovely and very polite. Definitely a must-try.
I recommend this place for anyone who misses European coffee and food. In this café I tried the most delicious croissants and coffee 😊 I really loved it—fast, tasty, and very cozy, in a European style.
Visited with my daughter and had the loveliest experience. Great service, friendly baristas, delicious coffee and desserts, and such a warm atmosphere. We were even given a small gift - it meant a lot. Will definitely come back!
Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing and you can tell everything is made with care. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent - friendly, fast, and professional. One of my favorite cafés now. Highly recommended!
10/10 neighborhood café. Cozy, cute, and always a good vibe. Coffee never misses, specialty lattes are elite, and the food is fresh and actually filling. Staff is super nice and makes you want to come back. Perfect spot to hang, work, or romanticize your morning ☕️✨
