Crema's Take

Center Cafe is a quick-service spot near the convention center that pulls off solid coffee and breakfast when things go right, but the experience is maddeningly inconsistent—reviews swing from "excellent" to complaints about rude staff, undertrained baristas who don't know basic espresso drinks, and prices that feel high for the quality hit-or-miss ratio. It's laptop-friendly and fast, which works if you're just grabbing something between meetings, but the 3.3 rating reflects real problems with training and attitude that suggest you're taking a gamble.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A laptop-friendly spot, quick-grab.

I just had my worst coffee experience in a while. I walked in and they basically snapped at me. It seemed like everyone behind the counter was either having a bad day or just didn't care. The menu selection is very small. They have like 4 coffee drinks. It was also super dead in…

Coffee machine is not ready, needs to warm up. Staff is not properly trained, they don't know what a cortado is, in a coffee place? Excessively expensive, $4 for the macchiato I ordered... I live in NYC, we normally pay 2.50-3.00, sometimes 4.00 yes... But the rent there is…

Friendly and They Had Coffee. At 8AM, Starbucks did not have any brewed coffee (dark, pikes place, blonde, nothing) and didn't have any whip cream for the espresso drinks. Center Cafe had both plus lots of space and a cool atmosphere.
