Gemina Coffee Shop
4.7 (209)cafe
Snug and green-fronted, this East Village cafe pairs La Colombe coffee with house-baked pastries like pastel de nata.
Description




Inside, a compact seating area in the back offers a quiet spot to sit, though space is limited. The menu features carefully prepared cortados and strawberry matcha alongside savory items like bourekas and salmon avocado bagels. While the scent of baking draws people in from the street, the quality of the pastries and the treatment from staff draw mixed reports; visitors describe a starkly variable service style that ranges from patient table delivery to outright rudeness.
