Crema's Take
“Asano's second location operates inside The Noortwyck restaurant in West Village, giving you a genuinely spacious, design-forward setting that feels more like a beautiful dining room than a cramped café—perfect for actually settling in with a laptop or meeting a friend. Their matcha drinks are a standout (they basically brought serious matcha culture to the UES when they opened), and the pastries and coffee are consistently excellent, with a creative edge that keeps regulars coming back.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

Great second location for this lovely cafe! I’m a big fan of the UES location and this new spot is so convenient. I love how spacious it is, and of course the drinks and pastries are always top-notch. It’s almost unheard of to get this quality of coffee/drinks AND have so much…

This new Asano location is so adorable! The pastries and coffee are phenomenal and there’s plenty of seating to read, work, catch up with a friend. Can’t wait for this to be my regular spot. The classic Asano miso coconut latte is amazing but the new Noortwyck-exclusive banoffee…
