Crema — Restaurant in Jersey City

Great drip coffee! I have been wanting to come here for awhile. This morning I was out of coffee at home and boy, have I been missing out on some really great coffee! Their coffee is the best I've had, way better than any of the places around (wonder bagel, dunkin, mcd, starbucks or any of the small coffee shops in Grove, which to me always taste stale or too weak). Crema's drip coffee is a delicious, nice rich medium blend, with nutty undertones. Fantastic for regular drip coffee, highly recommended. Nice amount of caffeine to give me the morning jolt I needed. Very friendly staff and I thank them for their friendliness, without caffeine I'm a zombie. 2 large black coffees cost $6(was about $5.35 but gave the change as a tip). Highly recommend this family run business. We need more places like this in this area. Please support them and stop by for a great cup of coffee, you won't regret it. Don't wait or hesitate like I did, you're really missing out if you don't try their coffee! If I could afford to buy coffee everyday, this would be my go to place. I will be back to try some pastries and homemade ice cream. (Went back and tried Pistachio mousse sponge cream cake, tiramisu, chocolate mousse and carrot cake. All were fresh/delicious and I highly recommend. They keep some in the freezer and it thaws out really well. $27 plus a crossaint and brownie. Next...

First time here. I noticed there are Colombian workers. I am also Colombian. Cool. The food is as expected. Other good things to note are that the AC is blasting and it’s hot out. Solid. There also seems to be a lot of local art and support which is great. Now, for the bad.

I literally observed, 2 minutes ago, with my own two eyes, the working literally licking the outside of my plastic cup. Probably to see how the mixing was. Like, wut? I spell that sarcastically as it denotes the unsanitary practices and more importantly, the disbelief that comes from that.

I also came with a friend who wanted to do some work. For added information which relates to the issue, he is an app developer for a company, so tech is his strong suit.he could not connect to the internet and told the employee. They proceeded to tell him to try again, turn it off and back on, saying that it should be working, and then after several “attempts” said it was working for everyone else. In all honesty, I was feeling frustration for him.

In conclusion, crema feels like I am at a local coffee shops in pereira Colombia with JC prices. Despite having never seen witness someone lick my plastic cold brew cup, this is still a...

I'm never one to leave bad reviews, especially with small businesses in the food industry. Especially with such a highly rated cafe, I assumed any poor review is an off-day or unreasonable expectations. However, in my most recent visit I slipped on the stairs and injured both my head and finger. Indeed, there are signs outside and hand rails. Even without these precautions, I wouldn't have had any problem with the workers. However, the workers proceeded to laugh and talk about it, telling me there was a sign outside. Even as I proceeded to order, the workers giggled about the situation, while other patrons asked if I was alright. I couldn't even say anything to the workers out of embarrassment which they only prolonged asking if I needed help opening the door.

I hope I'm not being unreasonable with this review, but I must emphasize how this unprofessionalism could have led to more issues (especially concerning a head injury). The food itself and the care with which they prepare a food is stellar, hence the stars. But I can't overlook how openly dismissive and degrading the...
