Crema's Take
“The espresso here is hit-or-miss—good beans and decent flavor when it lands, but several regulars report thin, under-steamed milk that undercuts even solid shots. Service depends heavily on who's behind the bar (Julian gets genuine praise, others less so), and there's a recurring problem with missing items on food orders, particularly the sourdough that should come with the $13 soup. It's a friendly neighborhood spot with wifi and space to work, but you're taking a real chance on consistency for the price.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Wifi.

See all on Google →For Soup take-out orders they consistently skip the sourdough bread . I always check and they insist it’s there but no luck. At $13 for a soup it definitely needs to be included.
Julian is a delightful barista! He is welcoming, knowledgeable and makes the place feel like home. Thank goodness for neighborhood spots like this. Feels like authentic NYC.
We ordered coffee and it was really good! The place is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Great spot to relax and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. Definitely recommend!
Laptop friendly cafe with very welcoming staff. The coffee was decent and the place is spacious, located in a peaceful neighborhood during the weekend.
Great place with everything! Meals, pastries, and coffee. Middle-size space for small groups or workers nearby. Cappuccino was ok. Taste was great, good beans but not creamy unfortunately. The milk was not foamed. Chocolate latte, same. The chocolate cake was a decent option.…
