Amazing coffee, delicious sandwiches, and such lovely owners! Crema is a real gem :) The egg on their sandwiches is soo fluffy, and the cheese is always nice and melty. Their coffee/tea/food is a little more expensive than other coffee shops, but it's well worth it for the upgrade in quality. read more

Iced Americano I got today hit the spot! It was perfect. Service was quick and efficient. Love the window side ordering, especially when on the go with a stroller and kid. read more

Love this place. They have my favorite dirty chai of all time! I used to work next door to them and miss it so much! I wish they had longer hours but i know it's a small business/ownership. The owners are so sweet, the coffee shop is tiny but cute and very close to the park! Love Crema! read more

Coffee was great, the salmon on toast with cream fraiche was rich and delicious. The service is really good and my friend who is a regular got treats for her minnie Aussie. A great place to stop and get some coffee while walking around Brooklyn read more

Solid, quick, reasonably priced latte. You know it's made well when you don't need sugar or syrups

Based on the reviews, I decided to deviate from Variety this morning to try this place, which is just one block away. Coffee was good, although nothing spectacular or particularly memorable, and very expensive. My oat latte was $ 5.72, similar to Manhattan prices in expensive neighborhoods. The operating hours are very limited (Wednesday to Sunday, 9am-2pm) and the service was particularly unfriendly. I won't be returning. read more

I don't know why it took me so long to come here. I usually go to Variety down the street which is right by the park but just one block further is this cute little coffee shop. Their lattes are perfect and i'm happy to see they have house made chai and ham + Brie croissants. The service is always fast and super friendly (can't say the same about variety down the street where they serve free eye rolls and sarcastic sighs with every order lol) Happy to have found this place and look forward to trying their breakfast egg sandwiches which are available "thurs-Sunday" as of the menu right now read more

Paid nearly $14 for a BEC to see what the hype was about. Looks pretty, nice textures, but honestly tasted like nothing

We stopped here after a visit to the farmers market in mcgolrick park. We've been on the hunt for a really good dirty chai and have tried several Brooklyn coffee shops. The one at Crema was by far the best we had. We got an iced dirty chai but when it gets colder we'll try the hot one! I also tried the cold brew which was great as well. We saw a couple people get the croissant and they looked too good to pass up, however it looked better than it tasted so id probably pass on it next time. We'll be back, it's a cute little section on Driggs and perfect location for a walk around the park. read more

Unfortunately didn't get to experience anything they had to offer but inappropriate attitude. I approached the window asking about the breakfast sandwiches. The woman at the window replied "Read the sign" . I had another question and she walked away. And continued to ignore me. Like literally ignored but promptly helped a white person.. In response.. told her it was so rude to be treating a person like this sign or not. This waw rude and racist treatment. It was unnecessary as I am a latina. read more

They refused my business because I had a coffee from the store a block away. Was not allowed to buy a sandwich for this reason alone is the stupidest nonsensical rule. You can buy a sandwich then go buy coffee somewhere else but dare you show up with it first. Do not support them as they don't service their community. I supported this business during the pandemic and this is how they treat their customers. read more

Location: omg, this place is far far far from any train station. In fact, I have to walk several blocks to get there. I mean, this place is definitely only working for neighborhood Food: actually, I had their Americano. It's bit sour but overall it's okay. Service: the guy was pretty impatient even though I ordered fast and quickly. lol okay then Overall: 3 stars. read more

I hope this place opens again - I love their chai lattes and I can't find a replacement in the neighborhood! I've had coffees there and americanos (that's my coffee drink) and it's all top notch. Please reopen! read more

I got an oat milk latte on a snow day, and it's perfect!!! The woman working there is so sweet.

Awesome neighborhood cafe and it's a bonus that the owner is super duper accommodating and nice. I can be difficult when it comes to ordering since I'm a bit on the picky side, so I normally get the WTF face when I order, but not here. I made quite a few out of the norm requests when I ordered the mocha, but the owner just smiled and said "anything is possible." LOVE IT! Aside from drinks, they have tasty looking treats too. I tried the salted peanut butter cookie which was delicious! Peanuty, soft and not overly sweet. The mocha on ice was really good and as the cherry on top, they play good jams. P.S. Great place to study if the library is closed. read more

I would come here again to try other options on the menu. I found this place on Yelp and I was very interested in the espresso with tonic water since it's unique. However, I did not like the taste of the two combined together. It was very bitter and I did not think the flavors mixed well together. I would give this place another try when I'm in the area. read more

After leaving BFF pet wash with our lovely goldendoodle, Sam we decided to stop by Crema. I ordered two of the larger size lattes to-go. The man at the front was super friendly and the place itself although small was clean and cute inside. The lattes themselves were $4.25 a piece. The end product was good but mostly tasted like steamed milk. I kept hoping as I got to the bottom more coffee taste would come out but no such luck. read more

Best damn soy decaf cortado I've had in my life! It was sweet and creamy and strong. Served up by a super kind young woman and paired up with a tasty fresh butter croissant. The shop is tiny. A two-top. A four-top. And four stools on a window bar table. Minimal but warm. Still enough space to set up temporary camp. I went in to finish up a conference paper and it was perfect for getting some work done. Neutral indie tunes in the background, no loud espresso machines blowing up the air waves, and comfortable seating. The free wifi times out after an hour. And as far as I know there's no public restroom in here. Which means staying longer than an hour and a half would take some serious bladder control and primitivism. I saw that they had house-made chai so next time I need caffeination, this will definitely be my drink of choice. Go support them! read more

I've been coming to this place for over a year now. The one thing I love is the quality and service is always consistent. I'm willing to go out of my way to buy my morning latte or cup of coffee. Jin and his wife are super sweet and I can tell they take pride in their work. You've sold me as a long-time customer. read more

This place is awful. The woman who works there is unpleasant and rude. The coffee is unpalatable. The croissants taste like they were served on an airplane, except airplane pastries are honestly tastier. Worst $20 I've ever spent. read more

I love Crema, the owners are lovely and the coffee is superb. One of the best cups of coffee in Brooklyn!

The best Coffe in The world. Super chill, warm. Coffe is done precisely. Large Coffe is size of small in Starbucks and that's how should be. Americans got great balance between Coffe and water not like other places. Perfect strength. You will never shake after their Coffe. Secret place :) read more

I just found this Sweet little coffeeshop on Driggs. They serve amazing shots of Toby's estate espresso & the full list of coffee drinks besides. The space is small & cozy. I came here on 4th of July weekend so it was particularly quiet. M83 was on the playlist. I'll definitely be back. For the coffee & the endless stream of cute girls coming through here. :) read more

Absolutely love Crema. Its owners are an adorable couple who often work in the shop, especially on weekends. Its a calm inviting atmosphere with very good coffee, tea, chai lattes, vegan chocolate cookies, croissants and other goodies. They have free 1 hour wifi and always have available room to work. read more

As a card-carrying, reusable tumbler-owning daily iced coffee connoisseur, I have three requirements to give anyone a 5 star rating. 1) Has to be a delicious cold brew. 2) Price has to be reasonable. 3) It has to be an enjoyable customer service interaction. (If I'm going to see someone every morning, pre caffeinated, might as well be pleasant, right?) My 'commute' to work is along Driggs avenue, and Crema has two main competitors for my daily business: Pie Corps and Variety. Pie Corps has 1 and 3 going, but they are the most expensive iced coffee on my route (plus I always end up wanting to buy their delicious pie. Too dangerous to do on the daily.) Variety has 2, but I find 3 to be lacking about 60% of the time, and sometimes their cold brew tastes watered down. Enter Crema. Their cold brew is delicious, their prices are reasonable, and the customer service is fantastic. Highly recommended. read more

If you know what's good for you, you'll get to drigging (!) this place. The coffee is top notch, the owner runs the place and is too notch, so is his wife, the vibe, the loudness level, the extra treats, the seating space, the price, the plumbing, the infrastructure of the building, the air temperature, the hue that the light brings in, the way the evening sets, my perception of the world when in there, the sound of crickets at night, the way you wear your hair ... Alright, you must have gotten my point. This place defines New York at its best. High Five! read more

I honestly dont get how this place gets reviews... Let alone good reviews... The coffee is medicore at best. Sure the space is nice. But there's no heart. Variety up the block has been around forever. Has had its ups and downs but is a true neighborhood shop, with a culture and great atmosphere. And as for their Bottled coffee and Tea drinks? This is greenpoint not silicon valley take your borin start up somewhere else... read more

Some of the best coffee in new york. Honestly. The energy was so great in this small, little spot that everyone became friends. Movie esque. Good time. Love it read more

Crema is la crema de la crema! (Sorry, lame joke.) But truly, I'm SO happy I live around the corner from this cute, top-notch coffee hsop with the best cold brew I've ever had, and delicious baked goods. I'm often not a fan of cold brews, especially when they're extremely strong or bitter, but Crema's is perfectly balanced. I've only ever passed by in the morning or on weekends, but there are a few tables and a window counter where I see people occasionally working or chatting. Just a warning, though: cash only under $5 (which I often forget when I go to buy my $3.50 cold brew). read more

With so much high quality coffee in the neighborhood, it's hard for me to discern why Crema's Americano is the only one I crave above all others, but it is. Don't be deterred by the smaller cup size than most places, it's reasonably priced and worth it. The shop is also a nice, chill place with friendly staff. They mainly focus on the coffee, which may be one reason it's amazing, but also have some treats and takeaways. I bought a bottle of their cold brew and will amend my review as I expect it will be very good. Keep it up Crema, you're a great addition to the block. read more

Crema BK - Iced Americano (it's amazing) and a bottle of cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We buy a half gallon (sometimes more) of their cold brew every week. It is so good and convenient!

Cute coffee shop right next to Exhibit Salon. Tiny, with a 2-seater table and 4-seater and stools by the window. Love the natural light that comes in. They do take credit card ($5 minimum) but cash is preferred. Vanilla latte was perfect. read more

Crema has the best cold brew! Full of flavor and not a hint of bitterness. In addition to the great coffee, the owners are the absolute sweetest people. They go out of their way to get to know the people in the neighborhood and to provide a cozy little haven. This pace is really special. read more

Best breakfast sandwich in bk - plus the owners are great and so kind. Highly recommend :)

Pasta/spaghetti sticks broken in half for stirring? That is clever! I used one to add some raw sugar to my 8oz latte which is top notch. I am finding it increasingly difficult to be rewarded with superb quality coffee and less overdoing the milk for under $4 . I am also enjoying a savory croissant as well as the lovely and simple space. It has Wifi so im sure it is crowded on the on-days, but right now it is peaceful and on the other side of popular Greenpoint. read more

Crema BK - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

As I have only had the regular coffee, I can only review that. It was pretty good! If you're looking for a quaint spot for coffee and a quick bite, this might be the place for you. It has two tables that both sit two people and a bar with four stools by the window. One thing to note is that they do not have a restroom for use for customers. Particularly odd for a coffee house... Must go again to sample some sweets :) read more

Was looking for a coffeeshop to sit, study, and sip coffee that was outside of Manhattan. Greenpoint is a nice and less congested area of Brooklyn so I chose this top-rated yelp coffeeshop. My first impression of the place is that it's smaller than I expected. A lot smaller. It has 2-3 small tables on the side (for 2 people each) and window seating up to 3 people. It's more of the shop for grab and go coffee rather than stay and chill. The baristas are very nice and well accommodating (reminds me of a mom/pop shop). I ordered a regular drip coffee and was not disappointed. Very good quality coffee that is worth $2.50. They also have pastries that are delicious and worth trying. The pistachio pound cake is very good. They also have a fridge with smoothies and other beverages. They didn't have cold brew available when I was there. There is free wifi but you are limited to 1 hr - after that you are disconnected which is downside. There is also no bathroom so if you tend to pee a lot after drinking caffeine, I wouldn't stay. Overall, the reason I give it 4-stars is the quality of the coffee/pastries and the accommodating staff. Otherwise, not the type of place to stay and do work. read more

Only go if the woman is working. She is so sweet and the coffee is so good. There is a man that works there and he is so rude. Not a way anybody wants to start their day. He snapped at me because I asked for simple syrup on my coffee. With so many coffee shops on the neighborhood why would I go somewhere where I am treated poorly. Really sucks. read more
