Crema's Take
“This East Village roastery brings authentic Hawaiian Kona coffee to New York with a genuinely warm, unpretentious vibe that feels like a neighborhood gathering spot rather than a trendy coffee destination. Whether you're settling in with a laptop on a quiet weekday or grabbing a guava scone alongside a silky iced matcha, the friendly baristas and cozy, simple design make it easy to linger—and the consistently excellent espresso and pour overs keep regulars coming back across their multiple locations.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

The area outside of this place is a little bit iffy but it is nice inside. I was interested in trying this place as it has kona coffee beans, which is rare to find elsewhere. I came here twice. The first time I tried the Hawaiian latte. It has a very strong coconut taste, not…
