Crema's Take
“This intimate ma-and-pa spot radiates genuine warmth, opening late to welcome the neighborhood's late-night and Ramadan crowds into its cozy, homey embrace. Beyond solid drip coffee, they craft distinctive specialty drinks like their standout rose latte alongside authentic Palestinian sweets and goods, all served by staff who remember regulars and offer thoughtful recommendations like old friends.”

Came here after prayer and was so grateful to find a cafe open late during Ramadan. It’s a small ma and pa spot with such a cozy, homey atmosphere that makes you feel instantly welcome. I ordered the yansoon tea, which was incredibly fragrant with notes of anise and ginger. The cashier described it as a warm hug, and he wasn’t wrong! We also had the pineapple ginger juice, which was so refreshing and perfect since we were trying to limit caffeine that late at night. We also ordered the kunaffe, and it was definitely worth the wait. It was warm, decadent, and absolutely delicious. Everything here is well priced, and the customer service was a delight. The employees were all very friendly and took their time to explain the drinks and help us decide. Overall, such a great cafe with a wonderful atmosphere. We’ll definitely have to try the coffee next time we come!
Amazing place. I'm happy to give them my money, but $6 for drip? Not even a pour over? A latte is 7. It wouldn't be as jarring if they had the price on the menu. I understand this is a bougie neighborhood, but not everyone coming through here is rich. At least put it on the menu so we know and don't find out after being served.
LoVE!!! This place!! Coffee, sweets, and authentic Palestinian goods are so delicious and fresh. I have waited too long to visit this place I'm so glad i finally did. Coming back and taking pictures to share cuz its so beautiful in there. 🇵🇸🤍
The coffee was great, I got a rose latte and it had a very distinct and unique flavor. One of the best ones I’ve ever had. The girl up front was incredibly kind and gave recommendations. Very cozy, and quiet place that you can tell is ran authentically. Will be my new coffee place
Very welcoming and warm place first thing in the morning. Was greeted by the usual opener and he had recommendations and expressed thanks multiple times. He asked how I was doing and we had a little chat about a local bakery. He even brought the coffee to my table instead of the counter. Everything was clean. Would go here again to try all their unique latte flavors💖.
