Crema's Take
“Dear Coffee pulls excellent espresso from Onyx Co beans with the kind of precision that makes a simple latte feel like a destination drink rather than an afterthought. The minimalist Upper East Side space strikes that rare balance between Instagram-worthy design and genuinely functional for working or lingering, with friendly service that actually matches the vibe. Skip the pastries and stick to what they do best: coffee drinks that taste noticeably better than what you'll find at places charging the same price.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

I thought that place was very nice. The waitresses are young and nice. You can come and work from there. I just took a small late it was nice and at the same price as other places. I will come back
Quick stop for coffee after a visit to the Guggenheim. Latte came out good. Nice temperature, good amount of frothiness and beans have a great taste. The shop was busy, not much seating except for the bench by the counter. Pastries looked good. Maybe next time.
Cute coffee shop in the upper east side! Very quick and friendly service. The shop is also really cute inside and has a few tables for folks to sit. The coffee here is delicious and i love the seasonal drinks. I tried the seasonal pecan pie latte and it was so yummy! The drink…
The iced latte was really good. The fromage blanc danish was way below expectations. I can recommend this spot for coffee but not the pastries. The atmosphere is nice and it’s decorated in a stylish way
