Crema's Take
“Afficionado nails that rare balance of being both a serious espresso destination and a genuinely comfortable hang—reviewers rave about the Mediterranean-inspired seating, the warm vibe, and coffee that's consistently excellent, whether you're ordering a carefully pulled shot or one of their creative seasonal drinks. The pastries and light food are more than an afterthought (that sea salt chocolate chip cookie has a devoted following), making this Hell's Kitchen spot worth the detour whether you need a quick caffeine fix or a place to settle in for a few hours.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

The vibes in here are amazing! So many comfy chairs, benches and places to sit and work. Like a little piece of Mediterranean peace in hell's kitchen. Great music, and, on top of all of it, great coffee! I came to reconnect with an old friend and we had a lovely time. Gen…
Unique and delicious! The seasonal offerings are wonderful- we tried the eggnog latte and dolce natale. We also enjoyed the food offerings- a hummus and tomato tart + a delicious tuna melt. The atmosphere is cozy and well curated (extra bonus for having macadamia milk!)
Absolutely love Afficionado Coffee Shop! The place has such a warm, welcoming vibe and the coffee is always spot on. Their sea salt chocolate chip cookie is hands down one of the best I’ve ever had — soft, gooey, and that touch of sea salt makes it irresistible. Perfect combo…
