Crema's Take
“The house-made pastries here are legitimately excellent—croissants with real butter lamination and morning buns you'll finish before leaving the parking lot—which makes this charming little bakery worth the drive up the coast even if the coffee itself lands solidly in the competent-but-traditional category. Service is a mixed bag depending on who's behind the counter, ranging from genuinely helpful staff who'll talk you through the pastry case to occasionally curt interactions, so manage expectations accordingly. If you're heading to Mendocino and want fresh-baked goods plus solid milk-alternative cappuccinos, this spot delivers; just skip the pre-made breakfast sandwiches and stick to what they do best.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi. Parking available. Drive-thru.

Bad customer service: The young lady who interacted with me to get me my order was very unfriendly and demeaning. I hope they find better staff. Who knew coffee and pastries were so serious? 😂
Amazing croissants, sweets and coffee. Milk alternatives available for the cappuccino as well. Nice area to chill inside with wifi. Everything is made in house and is really fresh, also have bagels! Great stop on the 1, will be coming back next time we’re in town. Lovely staff…
Such a cute little place just north of Mendocino on the way to Ft. Bragg. It looks like a little house you are pulling up in front of and you can either walk or drive up to the drive through window as there is no inside. Picnic tables outside to enjoy your baked goods and iced…
The pastries were absolutely delicious and the girl working described them all for us and helped us make our selections. We got three to bring home and share but finished the entire morning bun minutes into the drive. Really surprised by some of the negative reviews! We stopped…
