So cozy with games and books you can borrow. Staff is friendly and I recommend the white mocha latte (I had it with pistachio milk) you can work on your laptop for up to 60 mins with an order and there's free wifi. Limited seats.

Espresso is SO good. I got an almond milk cortado (hot) and the espresso was dialed in perfectly. The milk was high quality and steamed correctly. I sat in the outside area — so glad they have one. Chairs are small and not that comfortable but I’m glad they exist. Indoor area is small but super cute.

I absolutely love Zelma’s! I’ve been going for a while now and will definitely keep going. I almost don’t want to give it so good a review because then more people will come and it will get crowded but Zelma’s is so good it deserves all the love First of all — coffee is immaculate . Wonderful service and delicious every time! The lady at the counter is so sweet and gives good recommendations when I can’t make up my mind. Second, the cafe is extremely clean and great for studying. They have 5G WIFI! This is how you know they care~ the bathroom is also great! It’s always annoying to sit down and study then realize there isn’t a bathroom. Zelma’s is 10/10 in environment and atmosphere. Everyone has a good time. There’s a little chess and checkerboard in the corner and I resolve to play someone there one day. It’s so cute As the weather warms I’ve noticed Zelma’s to get busier and sometimes there is no room to sit. Oh well, I’m glad people are appreciating the cafe! 10/10 - my fave coffee place

Hands -down the best place for coffee lovers in the area. I ordered Cafe Latte and almond Croissant based on recommendation from Jessica. Writing this review as I am drinking the coffee and eating croissant here. I highly recommend. Enjoy

I have had coffee in every borough in the city and usually out of convenience chain shops is the go to, but after trying Zelma’s, anytime I am in the area I will go out of my way to stop in for their cappuccino. The beans were perfectly roasted Just the right amount of milk and their sugar free vanilla syrup is perfection. Keep it up guys!!
