Crema's Take
“This hotel café operates on a skeleton crew with inconsistent execution—one reviewer got a lukewarm iced coffee that melted immediately, while another praised a barista named Jester's cappuccino, suggesting quality depends heavily on who's behind the bar that day. Prices are steep ($4 for small drip coffee), the food selection is sparse, and it closes early, making it useful mainly if you're staying at the Higgins Hotel and need something quick. Based on just 16 reviews, the rating is too thin to trust, but the pattern of complaints about consistency and cost suggests this is a hotel convenience play rather than a destination worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

See all on Google →Picture is of my almost $8 “iced” coffee before even taking a sip. Didn’t put enough ice in when he poured over the coffee and it melted as soon as I walked out the door. Now stuck drinking a luke-warm coffee. Ham and cheese croissant was decent enough, but not worth $12
Nice spot! And Jester, is very friendly and makes a very good cappuccino!
Attentive server and okay variety - wish there were some fresh fruits and veggies. Very pricey ($4 for a small drip coffee). Outdoor doors were locked during the day and it's a bit hidden inside the hotel (walk past Normandie restaurant, as if you're going into it).
Cute and quiet little coffee shop located inside the Higgins Hotel. This is the only shop that sells snacks and drinks within the hotel. Be sure to grab what you need before they close as I don’t believe the hotel has a traditional market like most Hilton Hotels.
Nice place to grab a quick bite and coffee. A little expensive but if you are a diamond member it's a good place to use your credits
