Café Crèmerie 7.6
Fulton Market
Owner Lisa Gasparian’s Café Crèmerie brings a European-style dessert café to Fulton Market, pairing organic artisanal gelato with pastries, coffee, and wine. It’s less a grab-and-go scoop shop and more a sit-down spot for date-night desserts, affogatos, and lingering over something sweet.
Must-Try Dishes: Organic artisanal gelato cup or cone, Affogato with espresso and gelato, Dulce De Leche Cheesecake

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited in Fulton Market, and metered spots fill quickly on evenings and weekends. Rideshare or nearby garages are most reliable.
Dress code: Smart casual. Many guests come post-dinner, so slightly polished attire fits the vibe, but jeans are fine.
Noise level: Moderate – generally quiet enough for conversation, with a relaxed café buzz.
Weekend wait: 10–25 minutes for a table during peak dessert hours.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – most desserts and many gelato flavors are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Limited – vegan or dairy-free gelato may rotate seasonally.
Gluten-free options: Some gluten-free dessert and gelato options are available; ask staff for guidance.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes. The polished café setting, wine list, and sit-down service make it ideal for a low-pressure but slightly elevated dessert date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes. It operates as a café with open seating, though weekends after dinner hours can get busy. Expect to wait briefly during peak times.
Is it kid-friendly? Children are welcome, but the vibe leans adult-oriented and relaxed. Best suited for older kids or well-behaved little ones during earlier hours.
Best For
Better for: Sit-down dessert, date-night ambiance, curated European-style gelato and pastries, and pairing sweets with coffee or wine.
Skip if: You want fast, inexpensive scoops to-go, loud family energy, or a large variety of novelty flavors.
