Crema's Take
“The roaster behind Flatlands won Food & Wine's Best Roaster in Ohio, and they're putting that pedigree to work with consistently excellent espresso that justifies the premium pricing. Their house-made pastries—particularly the kombucha lavender scone—are genuinely inventive and worth ordering alongside your coffee, though the cozy, Instagram-friendly space means you're also paying for the aesthetic. It's a solid specialty coffee destination if you're willing to spend accordingly, though some enthusiasts find the quality doesn't quite match the price point.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Excellent espresso. Roaster has won BEST Roaster in OHIO from Food & Wine magazine. Scones are top-notch -- kombucha/lavender are out of this world. Worth a stop. Wish I lived closer!
Amazing coffee and super friendly service! The space is cozy and clean. You can tell they are taking their coffee seriously. We had a kombucha lavender scone that was also so delicious. Drove a while out of our way to visit this shop and were not disappointed!
Overall a good start to a blossoming coffee shop. Crafted pastries were tasty and unique - they could have been slightly fresher or warmed for a better experience, but enjoyed the flavors. Coffee and teas are crafted pour-pver style - which makes a difference. Varied…
