Crema's Take
“This East Village spot is part Italian grocery, part café, and entirely committed to sourcing genuine ingredients—they stock hard-to-find Italian specialties like Chinotto Neri and Bronte DOP pistachio cream, and build their menu around what's actually fresh that day. The sandwiches are genuinely excellent (reviewers keep bringing them up unprompted), and the coffee and pastries benefit from that same no-compromise approach to quality. If you want to eat well without pretension or Instagram theatrics, this is exactly the kind of place worth making a trip for.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, quick-grab. Pastries and light food on the menu.

Excellent shop that has Chinotto Neri 8 and many other specialties that are hard to find. The paninis are great. I can't wait to go there again.
