Crema's Take

“Schmear strikes that perfect balance between a quick caffeine stop and a genuine neighborhood gathering spot where you'll actually want to linger over a pastry. The traditional coffee drinks are executed with care rather than fuss, making it an ideal place to catch up with a friend or settle in with work without feeling rushed. It's the kind of unpretentious local gem that clearly means something to its community—family-friendly and reliably good at what it does.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The place blew me away. Got a bagel w/lox. Probably the best bagel I’ve had outside of NYC— this is in the same league as Absolute Bagels on the Upper West Side. But here they take credit card, and the lines aren’t as long. Also they have vegan cream cheese, and it’s excellent.
