Crema's Take

This cash-only New Paltz institution has been serving genuinely excellent bagels since 1999, with a loyal following that treats it like a second home—the owner's known for his warmth, and regulars have been having the same conversations here for decades. Their breakfast sandwiches are the real draw, built with fresh-fried eggs cooked to order right in front of you, and the outdoor picnic table seating makes it feel less like a quick grab and more like a proper morning ritual. Just come prepared with cash or hit their in-house ATM, and expect a wait during peak hours, but it moves fast enough that it's worth it.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available. Cash only.

Been going here since 1999. One of my favorite places on all of the Earth. Great bagels, great service. Lots of conversations over the years. And the owner? He has a Heart of Gold!

I called ahead to skip the wait, but when I arrived I was told I'd have to wait in line anyway. Look, I get it — it's a busy place and there were only two people working. But when I just wanted a simple explanation, the response I got was a rude, aggressive "it's like pizza,…

Great NY bagel experience. They do not take credit cards, but there is an ATM inside. If you go at a busy time there will be a wait but they are quick and efficient. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious. The super is their version of an everything bagel and the super multi is an…

Great bagels! Egg and cheese comes default with double egg fried fresh in front of you—delicious. The staff are so friendly. Come with cash, or use the ATM. Convenient outdoor seating at picnic tables. There’s no bathroom.
