Paloma Coffee & Bakery, Greenpoint
Shop on the corner, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Paloma strikes that satisfying balance between serious coffee craft and approachable neighborhood charm, with a rotating menu of specialty pour-overs and creative drinks that occasionally soar (their matcha offerings are a draw) but don't always land perfectly. The tiny Greenpoint spot packs in a devoted following for their pastries and espresso work, though the limited seating and hit-or-miss execution on their more ambitious offerings mean you might want to keep expectations flexible. Still, on the right day with the right order, you'll find exactly why people keep coming back—reliable quality coffee and the kind of warm, unpretentious vibe that defines Brooklyn's best local cafés.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. Pastries on the menu.

Such a busy cafe in Green Point, I got hot drinks from here was so good in winter time like this. And Matcha Danish was amazing. Still have a lot of breads and coffee product for coffee lover. Chilling and friendly staff. Recommend.
I had high hopes!! I loveee a good sweet treat but, unfortunately, I think this is an overhyped place. Got the black sesame pastry and it was okay. Maybe I’ll try this place again some other time but not in the near future!
Tried the specialty pour-over featuring their Genji Challa Ethiopian beans. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite hit the mark—perhaps due to the light roast profile or brewing technique. That said, pour-overs can be tricky, and I’ve had my share of missteps at home. On the bright…
