Crema's Take

This FiDi gem transforms a humble corner into a brunch destination where the food actually matches the hype—think perfectly balanced poached eggs, smoked salmon that doesn't skimp, and inventive toasts like pulled pork Benedict that prove they sweat the details (that marinated feta situation is real). Beyond the kitchen's generosity, the slow-paced vibe and excellent coffee make it the rare spot where you'll actually want to linger over breakfast instead of rushing back to your desk.

Perfectly seasoned, delicious food. I got the pomodoro bowl and my husband got the salmon toast. Both were excellent. Sausage link was tasty. The marinated feta on the pomodoro bowl? 🤤

We went for breakfast and were honestly surprised. The portions are huge and incredibly generous. Perfectly cooked eggs, delicious smoked salmon, and excellent coffee. We loved that they were happy to accommodate changes — such a plus. It’s an amazing spot for a full, satisfying, and delicious breakfast. The service was super attentive as well. Highly recommended! ☕🍳

Breakfast here was a real treat. I ordered the pulled pork Benedict along with an iced latte, and both were fantastic. The dish was rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, making it a standout way to start the day. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the restaurant had a relaxed, stylish atmosphere that made the experience even better. There are plenty of tempting drinks on the menu—I’m already planning a return visit to try the blueberry matcha. Overall, it was an outstanding breakfast and a place I’d happily come back to again.

Overall – I was visiting a friend downtown and we’re looking for a brunch place brunch New York City is not one of my favorite things. However, this place looks super cute online and I was very excited. Overall the face is cute. I only have a problem with your Cuban sandwich, which was not a Cuban sandwich - it was a pulled pork sandwich. My fault is it probably should’ve read description however I didn’t enjoy this place. I will go back. I will just have something completely different. Food – as mentioned above I ordered pulled pork sandwich, a.k.a. Cuban sandwich And I thought it was terrible again my fault for not reading the menu better the Cuban sandwiches are one of the quickest ways to my heart. My friend ordered something more frequency and it looks perfect and the menu also look good. I blame myself in a restaurant. Atmosphere – this is the kind of breakfast brunch atmosphere that I want. It was packed. Lots of people we did not have a reservation and we told the host and he got us sat really quickly. Nice warm open environment with an open kitchen. It’s really cute and it smelled fantastic. You can’t ask for more comfortable experience

The food at this restaurant is very good! I had the brekkie roll and it was excellent. I also tried the Green Out smoothie, which was delicious as well. The decoration is lovely and gives the place a great vibe. However, there were a few things I didn’t really like. First, I was surprised that the waitress didn’t let us in right away. We were a group of five, but only four had arrived — the last person was just five minutes late — and we weren’t allowed to sit down or even have a coffee while waiting. I found that a bit disappointing. Second, there was a strong fish smell when we entered, which wasn’t very pleasant. Also, the Caesar salad was missing croutons, which was a bit surprising. Lastly, I think paying over $30 for a smoothie and a sandwich is a bit excessive. That said, I still recommend this place if you’re looking for a nice brunch and a cool atmosphere.
