Crema's Take

Tucked into SoHo's bustling streets, this cozy spot thrives on genuine hospitality and satisfying comfort food, with staff who actually know their menu and take time to chat with regulars. The small, warmly-packed space buzzes with the energy of people lingering over coffee and breakfast, making it feel less like a pit stop and more like a neighborhood gathering place where you'll genuinely want to linger. Don't miss their standout shrimp pasta or hearty breakfast sandwiches—simple dishes executed with care that keep people coming back.

Came here for lunch. Had to wait a little bit for a table as we walked in as a party of 6. The place had a really nice atmosphere. Service was fast. Everyone I was with really enjoyed their food but mine was quite bland and did not have much flavor. It did not come with the scallion salsa that was indicated on the menu. Would not recommend for vegans as I had very few options to choose from, but otherwise it was a really nice spot.

I recently visited this café and had a really nice experience. Gabe provided excellent service he was direct, informative, and very knowledgeable about the menu. He took the time to explain the options and was more than willing to accommodate my preferences, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. I ordered the pasta, and it was both fulfilling and very tasty. Overall, the food and service made for a great visit. I would definitely recommend stopping by!

a bit crowded but lovely lovely place. shrimp pasta was amazing! a lot of people were raving about it so i decided to get it too. bouncy juicy shrimp came deveined and deshelled, was creamy without being too heavy, and pasta was cooked perfectly. the creamy chicken pasta was good too but i preferred mine lol 😝 portions were perfect, not too full but left me completely satisfied. but the banger was the banana bread we overheard other tables talking about, IT WAS DELICIOUS!! it came with a passionfruit butter and honestly the passion fruit flavor was so clear and tart that it cut thru the actual taste of the butter so it tasted more like a jam. the banana bread was quite expensive but very worth it, slightly crispy crust and actual bread reminded me of a sponge cake, it was so pillowy soft. so glad i came here on a whim. also the bathroom lights burnt out 😭 don’t care tho the food was so good and i left so happy

The place is small and can get quite busy. The food was decent overall. The hotcakes were a bit heavy, but that's expected for pancakes. My breakfast sandwich was flavorful and just enough to satisfy, though the bottom of the bread was soggy. My companions enjoyed their big breakfast and the classic cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. We also ordered regular fries with truffle, which were tasty. The service was great, and the prices were affordable. If you're looking for a quick brunch in the area, this place has a variety of other options too.

I was in Soho last Tuesday and decided to meet up with some friends of mine who were also in the neighborhood. They suggested we visit Little Ruby's since I've never been there and it was close to where we already were. The place was packed and the atmosphere was such a vibe. Loved the decor and the overall feel of this place. We were greeted by one of the servers with menus and automatically knew what we wanted to order when we saw the selection of food. I ordered The Ruby's Ragu: braised beef short rib with pappardelle noodles, pecorino and burrata. Friend number two ordered The Pesto Pasta: spaghetti, zucchini, baby peas, snap peas, kale, parmesan, creamy pumpkin seed pesto. Friend number three ordered The Classic Cheeseburger: two 3oz beef patties, L.T.O., pickles, American cheese, special sauce on a potato bun. We also had a large Margarita Pitcher to share. My Ragu was good, not over seasoned and the braised beef was cooked to perfection. The noodles were also good and all the ingredients together served its purpose. My friends enjoyed their meals as well because their plates were all licked clean. The one thing I wish I was able to order was some Tequila, however, they only had wine and beer on the menu. Great conversations were had over some good food and Margaritas in this cozy place full of great vibes. Definitely worth checking out.
