Crema's Take
“Sammy L makes creative, fruit-forward drinks like orange Americano and mango matcha that lean sweet but balanced—exactly the kind of Instagram-worthy specialty drinks that have made it an NYU hangout. The shop doubles down on more than just coffee with solid food options and a genuinely friendly staff who remember regulars, though prices run a bit high and the space feels snug when it gets busy. It's a solid choice for meeting a friend or working for a few hours if you don't mind the cozy quarters and want something more adventurous than a standard latte.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Really unique coffees. We got an orange Americano and the mango matcha. They are on the sweeter side but well balanced. We liked. Shop has comfy chairs and food too. Recommend!
