Crema's Take
“This is more of a community win than a coffee destination—a freshly renovated Barnes & Noble cafe that's revitalized an underused corner of Hyde Park with books, pastries, and reliable coffee in a bright, welcoming space. The appeal here is having a proper third place to linger with a laptop or novel rather than sourcing exceptional espresso, though the traditional cafe drinks pair perfectly with the bookstore browsing. If you're in the neighborhood looking for a comfortable, well-staffed spot that happens to serve coffee rather than a specialty roaster hunting for their next great cup, this is exactly what you need.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi. Parking available.

Great selection of books and costumer service! Definitely worth to have it in Hyde Park!

Beautiful bookstore. So glad it opened. Lots of books and a large cafe where you can enjoy your coffee and read a book.
