((4.5 stars)) a small coffee shop + soft serve ice cream spot located on the Lower East Side. very cozy coffee shop with a couple of seats inside and a few outside (during warmer weather). Creme serves a full coffee menu as well as some other hot and cold drinks (like teas and such). there's also a small menu of soft serve ice cream in cups as well as cones. the coffee is good--i have enjoyed Americanos, here, during colder months when i walk around the LES. and I'd say the soft serve match ice cream is so good and hits the spot on warm days and nights.---the soft is smooth and creamy, not overly sweet. the service is friendly and quick. overall, a very small shop with lots to offer when you're in need a moment to catch your breath and treat yourself. read more

This place is perfection and I wish there was one close by me in Flushing. If I still lived in the LES, this would definitely be my goto cafe. They made my goto drink, the iced latte the same all the time. If I can, I would drink that ever morning as my morning cup of joe. They also offer soft serve and vegan options. So if you live in the area, you gotta check them out!!! read more

This coffee shop is on the smaller side, but still provides 2 in-door tables and 2 out-door tables for seatings. Perfect for people watching, studying, or working. The barista is super chill and welcoming. We got the strawberry matcha latte and the passion fruit matcha lemonade. Can't quite taste the passion fruit, but he muddled actual lemon slices for the drink which added the fragrance and freshness of the lemon zest that elevated the lemonade. The strawberry matcha latte is alright, can't go wrong with that combination. Both drinks are so pretty, you can definitely take some aesthetic photos for the Gram if you are into that. read more

I stopped by Creme quickly to grab a strawberry matcha latte after volunteering nearby in LES. The barista took care of my order with love - he mashed fresh strawberries, whisked the matcha & added my requested oat milk. Plus, he gave me a sample of the vegan matcha ice cream, which I have to admit is one of the best I've had. The only sad news I have to deliver is that I wasn't hungry enough for a full serving of soft serve. So obviously, I will be back & back again! :) read more

Loved everything about our experience here. I got an iced Caramel Latte and a Cold Brew soft serve. The Caramel Latte was great and not overpoweringly sweet and the cold brew soft serve had a nice consistency. It was also a pretty good amount for the soft serve even considering the price ($7) The thing I appreciate about their menu, or at least the things they highlight, is how simple it is. The soft serve flavors they have are matcha (vegan), mango (vegan), cold brew, and vanilla bean. Even though we ended up getting the cold brew soft serve, I was curious about the matcha and the barista that was there (potentially the owner) offered a sample of it, which I really appreciated! He seemed very knowledgeable about what he was offering and how it was made. Though the matcha and mango soft serve are dairy free, they were both super creamy and bold in flavor! You can tell the mango is made with real mango too and not artificially flavored. I'm definitely going to come back to get a full cup of soft serve - maybe even a swirl of the matcha and mango. 100% recommend this place read more

I was walking around the neighborhood and stumbled upon this beautiful coffee shop. The design was very modern. I noticed that they serve La Colombe Coffee which is my favorite. They had everything from hot coffee, cold brew and oat milk draft latte on tap. What set this cafe apart was that they also offer soft serve ice cream. One of the flavors was their cold brew soft serve made from the La Colombe cold brew. It was the best coffee ice cream I've ever had! I ordered cortado and it was amazing. The flavor was bold and well balanced. Best I've ever had! read more

This is a little new coffee shop on Essex near lots of other good little coffee shops. They serve La Colombe on tap though, which is great if you love that stuff. They also have some pastries, but more notable, 4 flavors of soft serve. Just now the flavors were vanilla bean and cold brew in one machine and lemon and "black cookies & cream" in the other. The latter flavor is an activated charcoal situation, which I thought was banned in nyc a few years ago, but either way, it definitely doesn't taste like cookies & cream. I might come back to try some other soft serve flavors, but so far the texture was a little off on these two, which were a little gritty. read more

Tasted like frozen melon was crushed with ice and chopped into an ice/smoothie blend. Super refreshing. Very sweet, though. All flavors are very sweet, so a small portion can be shared and you will feel satisfied. I personally enjoyed their in-house special flavor of gelato: honey cream with crushed almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. That was bombastic! Love how nutty the consistency was. I love nuts, so this almost reminded me of a chunky peanut butter situation: just more fine grained and smooth, with gelato being the base. Highly recommend trying this flavor! Focacia was okay. A bit too dry and bland for my liking, but still decent. My favorite item was the pistachio bombolone which is officially now my favorite dessert. This was magnificent! The yeasty dough was so light and airy--perfectly light and balanced. The filling of pistachio cream was very delicate and not sweet at all, which was such a nice surprise. I do not like saccharine dessert. The fresh raspberry jam was a perfect balance to the pistachio cream. I never like jams in my desserts, but this was a perfect complement. Woooow, what a treat! Can't wait to return for it and to try more of their other flavors--hazelnut & chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, tiramisu. You could taste the superb quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend.

The space is very big for a business in the East Village with mostly a waiting area. 4-5 seats are up front & they set up a few plastic chairs on the side. On a 90°F day, the shop was filled with customers & groups. A stantion at the door with directions for 2 lines would help manage things better.

If you're looking for the perfect blend of hip, trendy, and downright delicious, this coffee shop nails it. The ambiance is incredible--modern, cozy, and full of great energy without being overwhelming. Their drinks are top-notch, but the real standout is the matcha ice cream. It's rich, smooth, and packed with vibrant matcha flavor--honestly one of the best I've ever had. Whether you're stopping in to work, relax, or treat yourself, this place delivers great service every time. Highly recommend! read more

The drink looked very pretty and I was in the mood for that. I stepped inside and immediately it was a tight fit with a lot to look around. There was roasting coffee bean machine on one side with a lot of Roasting Plant merchandise on another wall. There were different types of croissant sitting inside the display glass. I didn't get one though and just got my blueberry matcha latte. The blueberry syrup was all the way at the bottom when I got it and had to stir and mix it with the rest of the matcha. The latte was not sweet at all and had subtle blueberry that wasn't strong inside the drink. Everything was light. Going to try out their latte next time I come here to taste their aroma and fresh coffee beans, which is what Roasting Plant is all about.

Literally THE CUTEST place…read more I was very intrigued by the unusual caffeinated offerings of this place so this won our patronage the Sunday morning of our stay in the LES. I saw somewhere that the pandan vanilla latte was worth getting even though I have no idea what that is. That was my plan until GF made that her plan and I had to pivot. Black sesame latte seemed interesting so I attempted to order that but they were out. Whomp whomp. I pivoted again and ordered the banana bread latte. They serve them in those famous ny-affiliated coffee cups I've seen so much but have never had before so I can check that off the box. The banana bread latte was absolutely incredible. Idk how they do it but it tastes exactly like banana bread in coffee form. The pandan vanilla latte was disappointing, I should probably look up what that actually is before complaining. I will say that it was not aggressively sweetened like probably every other flavored latte sold. Such a cute little place I would love to try their matcha shit also.

Now I understand why this coffee lab has a perfect 5-star rating!…read more From the moment we walked in, Meech, the owner, made us feel welcome. Her warm, genuine personality spills over to her baristas, creating a cozy atmosphere that instantly feels like home. We stopped by on a Monday just before closing (they're open until 2 PM), and even as a non-coffee drinker, I had plenty of options. I ordered the Beet Latte, made with beet, oat milk, and turmeric. It was incredibly smooth, beautifully vibrant, and surprisingly didn't have an overpowering beet flavor. My husband, a coffee enthusiast, loved his strong iced latte, and they even served it with a side of sparkling water--a thoughtful touch on a hot summer day. Moon Lab has only been open for six months, and I truly hope they thrive. What stood out most wasn't just the drinks--it was the sense of community. Because Meech is so personable, we naturally struck up conversations with another customer, making the café feel welcoming from the very beginning. I also admire how she supports emerging artists and coffee entrepreneurs by opening her space for pop-ups and collaborations. If you're interested in partnering with them, you can fill out the collaboration form in the Network section of their website. Moon Lab brings the soul back to what a neighborhood café should be: a place that feels homey, brings people together, and fosters genuine human connection. They're passionate about crafting excellent coffee, but even more passionate about creating a space where people can connect. That's something worth supporting. IG: Jubes111
