Crema's Take
“This petite Hoboken spot wins hearts with its espresso-focused menu and creative signature drinks like their Cloud Matcha Coconut—a refreshingly light take that skips heavy sweetness. The cozy, intimate space perfectly suits a quick coffee run rather than a work session, and while pricing leans higher (expect around $7.50 for specialty drinks), the friendly staff and genuinely good coffee keep locals coming back. Just note that consistency matters here: their cold brew and espresso drinks shine, but matcha preparations can be hit-or-miss depending on who's behind the counter.”

Great coffee! Also super reasonable for a local coffee shop with a great priced latte! It’s a small space so it’s not recommended to sit and work there, but everyone is super friendly. I would definitely recommend this neighborhood spot.
A cosy spot to grab a quick coffee. Pricing was on higher end. Paid 7.5$ for a small hot choc with oat milk. Service wasn’t very welcoming either.
Small, cutesy coffee shop with good coffee and a nice cozy vibe. I went here on a warm autumn morning and got a nitro cold brew with some oat milk. It was quite nice. I sat here for a bit reading my book and all in all I had a great experience. Will definitely be back.
Extremely disappointed. Instead of being properly whisked, the iced matcha latte was literally just milk with a pile of dry matcha powder dumped on top. Every sip was a mouthful of bitter, chalky clumps — completely undrinkable. I wish I had taken a photo before I mixed it, but even after stirring, all the chunks of matcha just sank to the bottom. The cold foam was the only decent part, but no amount of foam can save a drink this poorly made. It felt lazy, careless, and like they’ve never actually made matcha before.
Tried both the Cloud Matcha Coconut and the Cloud Espresso Coconut, sooo good! Super refreshing, light, and not sweet in a heavy way at all. The matcha one (in the pic) was smooth and just right. And the espresso one, no photo because I literally finished it before I remembered to snap a pic 😂 That should tell you how good it was. The staff here are super friendly, and the vibe is really chill. Totally a place worth stopping by to relax with a drink. Plus, 25% off first app order!
