Crema's Take
“This Italian-operated counter bar runs a high-performance Sanremo machine and pulls some of Midtown's best espresso drinks, drawing a mix of European regulars and buttoned-up financiers who all know to order standing up. The apricot croissants are genuinely hard to find elsewhere in the city, and nearly two decades in, they haven't compromised on quality or authenticity. It's the real Italian coffee experience—quick, no-frills, and exactly what it promises to be.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Home to many European men standing at the counter pretending to ignore the throngs of private equity guys in their 50s getting 8:55am cappuccinos. But they make a mean coffee not gonna lie. I love the latte. Their iced and hot drinks are good. There’s place to stand and one…
