Crema's Take
“Black Star's cozy backyard with chirping birds and that cheeky "Talk to each other. Pretend it's the 90s" sign sets the vibe for a genuinely relaxing coffee break—this is where you go to actually linger, not rush. The lemon Danish and matcha are standouts, backed by solid coffee and a full breakfast menu, all served by genuinely kind staff in a clean, spacious setting that somehow feels intimate despite having both front and back areas. It's the rare cafe that balances neighborhood charm with the practical bonus of plenty of seating and outdoor space.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Clean, beautiful café with a cozy interior and affordable prices. Great spot with a patio. I especially loved the sign there: “Talk to each other. Pretend it’s the 90s” — such a nice touch that adds to the atmosphere. The coffee was good. I had an iced cappuccino. The…
