Crema's Take

“The bartenders Walt and Chip are the real draw here—regulars rave about their recommendations and infectious personalities that make every visit feel like catching up with friends. It's genuinely welcoming to everyone, with a comfy vibe that works equally well for a casual coffee, a craft cocktail, or hanging on the deceptively spacious patio with better fries than you'd expect. Come for the solid drinks and light food, but stay because the staff actually cares about making your experience memorable.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Open late.

Cute little place, but bigger than it seems when you first walk in. easy to miss trying to find it but NOT to be missed out on. Only critique: asked for a Jager bomb and got a guiness with a shot of Jager in it. If you don't know how to make it, don't be afraid to ask.

Let me tell you. Regardless of occasion or orientation, this is a absolutely great establishment. You won’t find a more welcoming staff, a better patio or more perfect fries than at the 168 York Street Cafe.
