Crema's Take
“This aviation-themed lounge in Lincoln Square serves genuinely excellent house-made pastries—think divine honey-blueberry rolls and generously-sized crepes—alongside creative specialty drinks like iced berry matcha that justify a detour from your usual coffee run. The baristas are notably knowledgeable and warm, the interior is distinctive without trying too hard, and the multiple seating areas (including a back room and outdoor tables) make it equally suited for a quick grab or lingering with friends. If you want coffee shop comfort food done right with personality to match, this is worth seeking out.”

Unique coffee shop with great selection of food and drink in Lincoln Square! Stopped in for a quick pick me up- the Honey Roll cake with blueberry was divine as was the iced berry matcha (I got blueberry). I hope I can come back soon and try one of their crepes

Super cute plane-themed place. Small but lots of seating with a back room behind the main area plus a few outside tables. House-made pastries - the chocolate croissant wasn't chocolatey enough for me, but that's usually the case. But it had a great buttery taste and non-typical…
