Crema's Take
“Almah Café is all about impeccable pastries and prepared foods—think crispy burekas, flaky sabich, and cakes that justify a special trip to Crown Heights. They source everything fresh from suppliers rather than making food on-site, which means you're getting quality execution on established recipes rather than experimental kitchen creativity. The coffee is solid, the vibe is relaxed and family-friendly, and the whole operation feels like the kind of neighborhood spot that keeps regulars coming back for the same perfect order every time.”
What to expect

Almah Cafe is an absolute gem! Their food is nothing short of amazing, especially the burekas and cakes. The burekas are perfectly crisp, flaky, and packed with incredible flavor, while the cakes are beautifully crafted and taste just as good as they look—rich, moist, and…
