Crema's Take
“Carmela's dirty matcha and carefully crafted chai tea are the real draws here, offering specialty drinks that justify the West Village prices when executed well. The space itself is genuinely inviting with generous seating options including armchairs and a couch, making it feel more like a comfortable living room than a typical coffee shop—perfect for lingering over breakfast or meeting friends, though you'll want to ask about the pumpkin muffin before you leave.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Delicious place to stop for a dirty matcha and a hot chai. Make sure to meet Bradley while you're there, awesome person! Although we didn't eat, the food looked amazing. The pumpkin muffin is a MUST. The place is also gorgeous... Definitely coming back!
They have an amazing place, with an amazing view. The picture of the food is great and beautiful so you expect that you would be getting some really good food because is pricey also. The food tastes bad, there’s literally no flavor. The coffee is watery. My avocado toast was so…
Another coffee shop in the village? Well we don’t have a shortage of them but this one is really cool! Great layout and homey vibe. Coffee is nice. Great menu for brunch and lunch. Check it out.
