Crema's Take
“The staff here will make you a latte "with love" and actually mean it—this Brooklyn spot thrives on that kind of genuine warmth and willingness to improvise, turning classic favorites into something special that keeps regulars coming back daily. Beyond the coffee, the food hits harder than you'd expect from a neighborhood café, with standouts like an unexpectedly delicate banana pudding and savory codfish cakes that prove they care just as much about what's on the plate as what's in the cup. Come for the specialty drinks and creative twists on comfort food, stay for the kind of welcoming energy that makes you feel like you're part of something rather than just another customer.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

My favorite neighborhood gem. Absolutely love Cafe Lakay! the food and coffee is delicious, the owners put a twist on classic favorites. The team is always willing to try new recipes and recommendations from locals. Staff is friendly and great service always.
The banana pudding was refreshing and delicious. Not too sweet and not too heavy. You can taste the fresh bananas and the vanilla in the pudding. And the customer service was excellent. She was very friendly and helpful. My favorite thing on the menu is the iced biscoff latte.…
