Crema's Take

“Nestled in Taos, this espresso-focused cafe has earned serious devotion for perfectly pulled shots and creative signature drinks like cardamom lattes and mole mochas that actually taste distinct from one another. The thoughtful details—from cortados served alongside sparkling water to a menu that welcomes non-coffee drinkers with specialty options—create an experience that feels intentional and welcoming, paired with surprisingly solid light food like vegan tofu burritos and fresh pastries. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where quality matters more than convenience, and regulars keep coming back for both the coffee craftsmanship and the genuinely chill atmosphere.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, with a pour-over program. Slow-sit spot. Pastries and light food on the menu.

This was the first time trying straight espresso and it was very delicious! It was nice to also have a small glass of sparkling water on the side. The atmosphere was pretty chill, too. There was only one issue that tainted the experience- the unexpected price. I thought the…
