Crema's Take

“Riff's Cafe has earned its stellar reputation as Northampton's go-to spot for serious espresso drinks and thoughtfully crafted specialty beverages, with a welcoming atmosphere that keeps locals coming back for long, unhurried conversations. The shop strikes that perfect balance between espresso-focused precision and creative flexibility, offering everything from traditional shots to inventive specialty drinks alongside quality matcha tea, making it easy to linger with a pastry or light bite. It's the kind of place where you can count on both excellent coffee craftsmanship and genuine hospitality—the details that transform a coffee run into an actual experience.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
