Crema's Take

Tucked into Williamsburg, Cafe Canary is a tiny gem where thoughtfully pulled espresso and pour-overs pair beautifully with crepes and breakfast wraps that taste as good as they look. The baristas take real care with every cup—especially after switching to Letish beans—and the cozy interior feels like the perfect pocket of calm for both lingering solo sessions and catching up with friends. This is the kind of place where you'll find yourself coming back not just for phenomenal coffee, but for that whole warm, nourishing experience.

Cute tiny cafe with great interior. Food is light and more on healthier side. Large selection of vegetarian dishes. They put effort in preparing the meal as well as presentation and serving. Barista was a very nice girl, with reasonable suggestions when I asked for help with menu. They have a filtered water standing on a side of a bar to get free water which is convenient. Personally I do not usually eat this kind of light food for lunch but a person who invited me there seemed to be a happy regular. Music was not loud and can have a conversation easily without yelling, which becoming a rare luxury in small cafes somehow. Overall, pretty nice place. I’d say perfect for people who likes to have a healthy lunch and enjoy the beautiful interior.

One of my favorite go-to cafes in Williamsburg!! The coffee they serve is phenomenal, esp after they switched to Letish. Don’t sleep on the crepes!! They’re my favorite.

Obsessed with this cute little cafe! Had the best breakfast wrap and crepes here the other morning. Not to mention my flat white was *chefs kiss*. 10/10 experience !!!

The berry French toast was tasty. We ordered for pickup and it didn't come with syrup on the side, nor was it clear if there was any already on the toast, but that was perfectly fine because it was still flavorful and definitely the preferred alternative to it being drenched. The berries were fresh and sweet, and the three slice portion was solid. The Swiss cheese and mushroom crepe was pretty good. I loved the texture of the crepe, smooth and light without being dry. I was less a fan of the sauce on top which was advertised as lemon but tasted rather like mustard. Maybe I'm crazy. In any event, it was a very strong flavor and I wound up scraping off quite a bit. The portion was appropriate. I'd try the salmon crepe next time. I also ordered a decaf honey rose latte which I fully enjoyed. It was aromatic and tasty, and well but not overly sweetened.

I love this place and the cozy vibes! Their breakfast choices and the actual food are delicious and freshly made. I also had probably one of the best cups of coffee in NYC here. Absolutely recommended if you like a stronger, dark nougat-like flavored coffee (their roast is amazing!!!!
