Crema's Take
“White Crab Coffee and Books is a family-owned gem that seamlessly blends literary browsing with seriously good coffee in Hampstead, a spot equally perfect for settling in with a book and a specialty drink or catching up with friends over pastries. The warm, thoughtful atmosphere spans both cozy indoor nooks and charming outdoor seating, while the rotating selection of reads and unique gifts makes it feel more like a beloved local gathering place than a typical café. Whether you're stopping by for their excellent traditional espresso drinks or one of their creative smoothies paired with homemade treats like blueberry muffins and chocolate chip banana bread, the genuine hospitality and free wifi make lingering here feel like the whole point.”

The cutest little spot. Indoor & Outdoor spots to sit & sip. The coffees are delicious, the smoothies are too. We've had a few of the pastries and they are yummy. Cute book selection & unique gifts. Only down side is no bathroom.
