Crema's Take
“Their seasonal cold salted caramel apple chai is genuinely worth seeking out—it's one of those fall drinks that makes you understand why people get excited about limited menus. The counter-service setup keeps things casual and quick, with reasonable prices and a family-friendly vibe, though it's worth knowing upfront it's more grab-and-go café than sit-down restaurant. The inconsistent service reviews suggest you might experience some lag during busy times, but the creative specialty drinks and solid cold brew keep regulars coming back.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout, with creative signature drinks. A laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Seasonal update: Fall 🍎 🍂 Their cold salted caramel apple chai is one of the best fall drinks I've ever had. We got one hot and one cold, both with almond milk because the hot has to be done with a milk alternative. Delicious!!!! Loved this place! Seeing all the dishes…
Was a little confused at first as I thought this was a sit down full service restaurant since it had full size menus, etc. but you have to order at the counter like it’s McDonald’s. Atmosphere was nice but it was very loud inside. Was also surprised an establishment serving wine…
