Crema's Take

“Esselon Café is a beloved Hadley brunch destination where excellent waffles, pancakes, and their standout smoked salmon benedict share the spotlight with thoughtfully pulled espresso and pour overs in a genuinely beautiful, well-designed space. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and generous outdoor seating make it ideal for lingering over coffee or catching up with friends, though arrive early or expect a pleasantly crowded scene during peak hours. With a solid breakfast and light food program that keeps locals coming back, this is the kind of place where the care in both the coffee and the kitchen shines through.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Absolutely wonderful experience here earlier this week! The space is genuinely beautiful and well-thought out. There was plenty of seating, and even though it was the middle of the lunch hour, it didn't feel cramped. Staff was pleasant and friendly when taking my order. And the…
