Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused spot actually respects both the coffee and the milk, a rare feat in NYC—you'll get a cappuccino where neither element gets sacrificed for the other.

The sign outside says it all, "DAMN FINE COFFEE!" And it's not lying! Great spot for a strong drip with a sweet treat and some remote work - WiFi is excellent. Chilled and welcoming vibes from the baristas. P.S. Katie Holmes sat at the table next to me today. I'm not sure if…
