Cafe Diem
37 Bowery, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“This bright, serene spot in Chinatown is a masterclass in both coffee craftsmanship and creative beverages, with standout matcha lattes and seasonal specials like their Pistachio Matcha Latte that deserve a dedicated trip. The generous natural light streaming through large windows, quality real cups and saucers, and genuinely welcoming staff create an ideal third space whether you're settling in for hours with your laptop or meeting a friend. Every detail feels intentional—from the espresso-focused drinks to the thoughtfully stocked outlets and restroom—making it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like a neighborhood sanctuary.”

It’s a beautiful coffee shop with bright natural light and the decor is clean and calming! The coffee is great, service was welcoming and the vibe is so nice!
Cafe Diem NYC was one of the best coffee shops I visited while in New York. You can really taste the quality of their coffee. I also had a matcha latte and it was also one of the best I’ve had really smooth and perfectly balanced. The cafe itself is really nice and clean. Perfect place to relax and have a coffee.
Really Good Matcha Latte. I appreciate the real cups and saucer served when dining in. The staff is super nice. A good amount of outlets if you need them. Plus there is a bathroom.
The space is beautiful. The large window with the view of Chinatown and the city is lovely. The coconut latte was good, and the staff was friendly. There's wifi and a restroom too. Easily one of my favorite recent discoveries.
Loved the Summer seasonal menu here trying out their Pistachio Matcha Latte, which is absolutely delicious, it’s a perfect combo! And another favorite of mine was their Iced Coconut Latte made with condensed coconut milk, a must try drink
