Crema's Take
“This 1927 Greenwich Village institution feels like stepping into a preserved corner of old New York, complete with Renaissance paintings and the kind of timeless charm that's actually earned its reputation rather than manufactured for Instagram. The espresso and traditional Italian drinks are excellent, but what keeps regulars coming back is the atmosphere—a rare café that's genuinely lively whether you're there for a quick shot or settling in for hours with a laptop. The pastries are solid and it's open late, making it one of those places that works equally well for a midnight study session or a leisurely breakfast.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Open late. Parking available.

Quite the historic cafe!! They've been around since 1927, the oldest cafe in Greenwich. I honestly did not enjoy my chocolate cake, it was like over half frosting which was kind of insane and a little gross, and it was over $7. However, the interior was so beautiful and…
