Crema's Take

This legendary Lower East Side institution fills the moment you walk in with an intoxicating aroma that promises real coffee craftsmanship—they brew several distinct blends simultaneously, so you can grab a truly fresh cup that reflects their deep expertise with single origins and house blends. The staff genuinely knows their beans and will guide you thoughtfully whether you're ordering a quick espresso or diving into pour overs, all at prices that feel honest for the quality and care you're getting. It's the kind of place that respects coffee lovers whether they're seasoned or just beginning to explore what specialty coffee can be.

Insanely good coffee here!! Shop smells amazing, prices are so fair for what the market is. Getting a fresh cup in the back is the way to go as they brew a few blends at a time. Such a great spot to get a gift as well!!

This is an amazing place for coffee lovers. I have never seen this many options of coffee in my life. The shop has a huge variety of beans and different blends to choose from. As soon as you walk in, you can smell the fresh coffee. If you love coffee and want to explore different types and flavors, this is definitely the place to go.

REPLY: omg, I came back and I really do love it here. I saw Wes both today and yesterday, and I had a great experience each time. Today, I got a mocha. I appreciate you so much Porto Rico! I love it here! Been before. Everyone there is really nice. I got a hot coffee today, and the only thing is that it was cold, maybe not fresh. It’s my fault for not saying anything. Love the workers and ambiance, just didn’t love the coffee I got today :(

The OG coffee and tea specialty shop in the NYC. We felt overwhelmed with Amazing Aroma once we walked in. They offers so many single origin, specialty blends, and original store owned blends. Just asking for recommendations, their staffs will be happy to suggest a few choices for you to take home.
