Crema's Take

“Velvette Black pulls off the rare feat of nailing both the espresso and the pastries—regulars rave about the flat whites and lattes with genuine technical skill, while the baked goods are consistently called the best in the neighborhood. The vibe skews quiet and focused (maybe too quiet for some, given the laptop crowd), but the owner's genuine care shows in the welcoming atmosphere and thoughtful tea selection. Come for the coffee, settle into the spacious interior or courtyard, and plan to stay longer than you expected.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Wifi.

Tried so many cafes in this area as I wait for my kids two afternoons a week. The treats are the best I’ve found around here, the tea menu is simple but high quality, the music is always nice and it is so lovely and unpretentious.

The latte is exceptional. Perfect amount of froth/ milk. I like the taste. Smooth, but not overpowering. Very clean inside. Lots of space for solo people tp work on their laptops. Courtyard area out back is a double bonus! Will visit again.
