Crema's Take
“Epistrophy pulls off the rare feat of being equally suited for solo work sessions and intimate dates, with a genuinely warm staff that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. The vibe is unmistakably Italian-café-meets-Brooklyn-living-room—small and charming with excellent pastries and solid light food—making it the kind of place regulars specifically recommend for rainy days when you need to disappear into a good magazine and strong coffee. Fair warning: it's cozy to the point of snug, so don't expect sprawling space, but the thoughtful details and attentive service make the compact quarters feel like part of the charm rather than a drawback.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

See all on Google →Love the atmosphere and vibe of this place. Nice for a romantic date but a little bit lousy. The service was excellent and the food 4/5. The tomatoes 🍅 sauce for the food is amazing. And the chocolate mousse dessert is a MOST.. 😋😋
I went to this decent and pretty reasonably priced Italian spot with a group a while back. The place inside is charming, though a bit small, and our group sat on a table in the back that was slightly elevated from the rest of the restaurant. The service was alright, being…
Carlos was amazing. The food was incredible. I want to come back❤️❤️ Also, best place to be for a rainy or cold day. Many cute magazines here to read and find peace in a busy city! Such a sweet waitress a as well
My husband and I stopped here for a date night. Doors open, beautiful night, instrumental jazz playing in the background very attentive service....a cozy table for two- we couldn't have asked for a nicer evening out. Recommend : Brussels salad, papperdelle with mushrooms,…
This is a cozy restaurant with genuinely friendly staff. I loved my drink we ordered the Hot Lip and a glass of red wine. The pasta was good overall, but for a mushroom-based dish (Funghi), the mushrooms were a bit sparse. I wish it had more.
