Crema's Take
“This tiny Flatiron cafe has built a devoted following around its Colombian roast—customers swear by it straight or doctored with leche condensada and whole milk—and the kind of community commitment that kept them open during a blizzard to serve locals and stranded tourists alike. The fresh Colombian pastries and light breakfast items pair perfectly with the espresso-focused menu, though the modest selection means you won't find extensive savory options. Bright, airy, and genuinely welcoming, it's the kind of small neighborhood spot that punches above its weight and feels worth seeking out.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

A decent new coffee shop, small selection of pastries (no price tags for some reason), but no savoury options. The gluten free corn arepa was good but it would be more interesting as a salty thing than sweet. Not very busy on Saturday morning, so a good alternative place to sit…
