Crema's Take
“The pastry program here is legitimately excellent thanks to a partnership with Colson Bakery, making this worth visiting even if coffee isn't your priority. The espresso is solid and the long-tenured baristas know their regulars well, creating a genuinely welcoming neighborhood vibe that's increasingly rare in Brooklyn. It can get crowded and consistency dips occasionally with newer staff, but the cozy design and reasonable portion sizes make it feel like an actual third space rather than a caffeine transaction.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

This is my go to coffee shop, and it's amazing! The baristas are very nice, the coffee is very good and the cup is a reasonable size, and the pastries are great. (The peanut butter cup cookie is one of the best things there) The prices are fairly reasonable, and the pastries are…
Service and hospitality were phenomenal. The girl behind the counter with the rainbow headband was the kindest! Good hospitality is very rare in NYC. Least I could do was a leave a review. Keep it going! Thanks for making my stop a good one while I was waiting for my car to get…
