Crema's Take
“This Italian panini shop is winning over the Upper West Side with impeccably sourced ingredients and bread that actually has a proper crunch—reviewers keep calling out the chicken parm and simple sandwiches like the Peppe as genuinely excellent, the kind of thing that makes you wonder where they've been hiding. It's approachable for a quick grab but comfortable enough for a slow sit with espresso and pastries, making it work equally well as a weekday lunch spot or weekend breakfast destination.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →I really liked it. Very tasty. New place. I recommend it. A real taste of Italy ✨🫶🏻
Genuinely one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I got the chicken parm with marinara, arugula, mozzarella, Parmesan, and toasted baguette brushed with garlic and Italian seasoning. The French baguette is absolutely worth the extra price. Service is solid (gave us free…
I got the Peppe Sandwich on onion foccacia. I wasnt expecting much but wow, that was so delicious. Highly recommend for a simple italian sandwich, will have to try others.
Absolutely incredible! The food is truly authentic Italian! Fresh, rich sauces, and perfectly balanced flavors. The service is warm and welcoming. A wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Highly recommend
Little spot with amazing panini. The bread has that perfect crunch, and the ingredients taste like they come straight from Italy. The UWS needed a sandwich shop like this, will definitely come back!!
