Crema's Take
“The barista here pulls consistently excellent cappuccinos and flat whites that justify the small crowd waiting outside, and the hidden-menu citron iced coffee is genuinely worth ordering if you want something more memorable than standard cold brew. Beyond coffee, this tiny storefront doubles as a curated gallery and clothing shop, so you're as likely to leave with a new piece of art or vintage tee as you are a perfectly steamed milk drink. It's a classic New York grab-and-go where quality matters more than comfort, with just a couple outdoor tables if you actually want to sit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too, good cold brew. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

See all on Google →This beautiful, small, stylish café is my number one hidden gem in NYC. The super-nice and very competent lady behind the counter makes incredibly delicious cappuccinos and flat whites. The café even has a small, very fashionable merchandise section. Highly recommended.
It's a small but pretty cafe. The staff is friendly and the mini-editing shop is cute. The hidden menu, citron iced coffee, is the best to quench your thirst! The new matcha slush is so cool and delicious. I recommend it.
