Crema's Take
“This roastery pulls double duty as both a serious coffee education hub and a genuinely excellent espresso bar, where the lattes arrive with that rare combination of silky microfoam and aggressive espresso punch. The spacious, light-filled room attracts a mix of laptop workers and coffee enthusiasts who show up for the public classes (around $25 with a bag of beans included), making it feel more like a community gathering spot than a typical café. If you want to actually understand what good coffee tastes like and have friendly staff who seem invested in teaching you, the slight detour to Gowanus is worth it.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly.

See all on Google →Good coffee with decent service. They also have coffee classes open to the public. The class is around $25 per person. You get a bag of coffee with the class.
Great local coffee roaster. The place is great, spacious and chill. They have a good selection of coffee and tea. Great value if you are looking for more refined coffee taste.
