Crema's Take

This welcoming downtown gem draws a steady crowd with expertly crafted coffee drinks like their homemade cardamom lattes and creamy chai, paired with standout fresh pastries including empanadas and za'atar toast that keep people coming back. The hard-working, genuinely friendly staff and beautiful interior make it an ideal spot for lingering over coffee with friends or colleagues, whether you're grabbing a quick pastry or settling in for a slow Sunday morning. With consistent quality across their locations and a loyal following of families, students, and regulars, MOTW has clearly mastered the art of creating both excellent drinks and a warm, inviting community space.

Popular on a Sunday! Beautiful interior decor, hard working staff. I found ample parking in the public lot across the street. The labnah and za’atar toast was yummy! There were families, students, couples, all enjoying coffee and treats. I just wish they had ceramic cups available for use or purchase. To go cups only are offered.

Came to check out this cute coffee shop in downtown Middletown. We were greeted by friendly staff as soon as we got to the counter. They were busy too. We ordered an iced latte and some pastries to include baklava , birds nest, and , baklava finger. Everything was good. Definitely had some tasty sweet treats here.

Stopped by MOTW Coffee and Pastries and it was solid all around. Coffee was on point and the pastries were fresh. The empanadas were my favorite… must try! Staff was welcoming and chill, super friendly. The spot has a good vibe between the people, the art on the wall, and the coffee. Easy place to sit, talk, think, get some work done, or just relax. Not just another coffee shop. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommend to others.

We’ve been to MOTW’s Middletown location twice now, and both times it’s been fantastic! This one is consistent to their New Haven location, and my husband absolutely loves their chai. I got the hot chocolate, and it was served at the perfect temperature, where it was hot but not scalding. The staff handled the volume of customers well, and we were pleasantly surprised at how quickly the drinks were ready. We took them to go this time, but they have a nice seating area as well. Looking forward to stopping by again when we’re in downtown Middletown.

Had this place on my list to try. Very happy I did. Myself and 2 co-workers shared various things and they were all soooo good! The cardamon latte (they make their own cardamon syrup for it), vanilla coconut latte and the refreshers were all so the best. Didn'teven add sweetener because they were perfect. Then I ordered multiple empanadas and they were so delicious as well. Top favorites: egg and red pepper, beef, Argentinian chicken. And the pistachio tres leches so moist and good. It is rare for me to find that. This place will be on my list to return. Worth it!!!
