Crema's Take
“Nestled inside Fayetteville's public library, Handshake is a hidden gem where exceptional chicken sandwiches and rosemary focaccia shine, backed by a genuinely warm staff and a quiet, naturally lit space perfect for lingering conversations. Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or a devoted meat-eater, the kitchen delivers knockout flavor across the menu—from full breakfasts to light fare—making it the kind of place where every visit feels unhurried and genuinely welcoming.”

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
