Crema's Take

This beachfront brunch spot trades intense coffee focus for leisurely weekend buffets and ocean views that make you feel like you're on vacation without leaving Southern California. The Saturday morning spread with fresh fruit and decent steak pairs well with their traditional coffee drinks, though service moves at a deliberately slow pace—perfect if you're settling in for a long morning rather than grabbing and going. Families and groups will appreciate the outdoor heaters and spacious seating, but espresso enthusiasts should manage their expectations.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

If you go here on Saturday morning, you can enjoy both a buffet and a brunch menu. The buffet includes steak, which is quite good! The fruits are very fresh too. Highly recommend trying their weekend brunch!
