Crema's Take

This Harlem café doubles as a lush plant shop and hardware store, creating an unexpectedly serene workspace surrounded by greenery and design objects that make lingering feel intentional rather than guilty. The coffee itself is rich and chocolatey without bitterness, the matcha is genuinely authentic, and the butter-forward croissants and breakfast sandwiches justify a trip even if you're not in the neighborhood. If you want a specialty coffee spot that feels more like visiting a thoughtfully curated friend's living room than a typical café, this is worth the detour.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Most delicious and best coffee I’ve tasted in a long time. Really worth making the trip if you like coffee. Their plain coffee isnt bitter but has a rich almost chocolate notes … very cool space (not too cool) and barista is welcoming and personable.

A great little coffee shop inside a hardware store and flower shop. The vibes are great, the coffee not bad, the breakfast sandwiches are really good. It’s a gem in Harlem and I recommend it to anybody!
