Cafe Rumi
30 Broad St, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“Café Rumi transforms a simple coffee visit into a sensory journey with innovative signature drinks like the beloved Rumi Special—a saffron-topped latte that regulars describe as "a sip of home"—alongside unexpected treasures like Kashmiri chai and pistachio lattes that showcase the owner's passion for global flavors. The space itself feels like a carefully curated refuge, where cozy aesthetics, the owner's thoughtful book collection, and genuinely warm staff create an atmosphere that makes lingering over your cup feel like the whole point. Whether you're seeking meticulously crafted espresso-based drinks or a quiet corner to settle in, this is the kind of neighborhood gem where consistency, care, and creativity in every cup earn it near-perfect reviews from devoted regulars.”

Highly recommended to anyone looking for great food, great people, and a peaceful place to unwind! ZeeMunir
The sweetest staff who are also engaging and create a warm environment. The Rumi special itself was like a sip of home topped with high quality saffron. I enjoyed the owner’s book collection as well. If you’re looking to wind down or feel a bit a home then I highly recommend!
Coming from the UK, I missed having Kashmiri chai a lot. Let me tell you this place did not fail to impress. Shafi made me an amazing cup that made me reminisce all the late night chai sessions I used to have. Must try Kashmiri chai
Lumi Special Coffee at Café Lumi is truly the best coffee I've ever had. I've seen two baristas working here, and both consistently make stunning lattes. As someone who's obsessed with coffee and lattes, I dare say this might be the café that creates the most beautiful foam in all of New York. And the space itself—it's so mysterious and beautiful. Visiting in the morning just lifts your mood.
