Crema's Take
“This charming Turkish coffee shop brings authentic espresso expertise to NYC with drinks like their signature Turkish coffee served alongside Turkish delight, plus creative seasonal specials like strawberry matcha that keep regulars coming back. The warm, unhurried atmosphere—complete with friendly staff, fresh pastries, and quality sandwiches on house-made sourdough—makes it equally perfect for a long work session, a catch-up with friends, or bringing your dog along for an afternoon. It's the kind of hidden gem where you can taste the care in every detail, from the flaky börek to the carefully crafted espresso drinks.”

really cute cafe! the Turks really know their coffee, so delicious and came with Turkish delight. Perfect cafe to work, read, or catch up with a friend. Avocado toast was fresh and on a nice sourdough bread. Will be coming back! x
A small and very charming place. The owner and the staff are friendly and helpful. I tried the börek and coffee — both were very delicious. It’s an ideal spot to sit, enjoy a coffee, and spend some time. I will definitely come again.
The sandwiches here are amazing — super fresh ingredients and the best bread! The desserts taste homemade and are absolutely delicious. Definitely try the strawberry matcha, it’s so good! Dog friendly !!
Grilled chicken & pesto sandwich with a hot cup of tea — super fresh and flavorful. The service is so sweet and nice, made the whole lunch even better. 🥪☕
Found my new favorite spot in NYC. What a hidden gem!! The grilled chicken pesto sandwich was out of this world. Fresh and delicious. Also got the brown sugar shaken espresso drink which was perfect- not too much ice and not too sweet. They also have complimentary water for all customers and a comfortable place to sit inside. Truly, such an amazing spot to grab breakfast or lunch! Will definitely be back.
