Crema's Take

This beloved Northborough institution is the kind of place where regulars camp out for hours over exceptional homestyle breakfast and genuinely warm hospitality, with standout dishes like perfectly executed eggs Benedict and chocolate chip pancakes that justify the wait. The cash-only policy and intimate, well-spaced dining room create an old-school diner charm that feels refreshingly unpretentious, while the coffee is solid enough to pair with their house-made specialties and seasonal brunch offerings. It's the rare spot where the food, the people, and the atmosphere all work together to make you feel like a regular from your first visit.

Love going here for breakfast! My favorite place to go to in the area. It's always worth the wait, if there is one. The chocolate chip pancakes are the best around and the homemade hash omlete is my go-to.

Reliable, lively brunch spot with delicious specials. I got Jake’s big breakfast. The scrambled eggs were done perfectly. Crispy bacon sits on top of well seasoned home fries. They have gluten free toast that’s fluffier and more satiating than what I usually see. The second picture is from the specials menu: Chorizo hash benny on jalapeño cornbread. That thing was a satiating mix of textures and flavors. “The flavors are having a party in my mouth” - My satisfied roommate. The sweet potatoes on the side are a nice touch. Overall a clear local favorite and I’ll be back soon.

I came here in search for pancakes and waffles and received more than what I imagined. The hospitality was so infectious from all the staff starting from the entrance to the chefs! Even the customers were polite and friendly! The portions are generous, the atmosphere is welcoming and the prices are reasonable. The waffles were perfectly crispy and light while being aerated and soft on the inside🧇 The pancakes were huge, fluffy, and made with thick quality batter; I ordered strawberries and cream with my pancakes🍓🥞 The amount of care put into the food steams as it hits your table. I'm a huge supporter of small businesses and this mom and pop cafe is perfect if you are in the area. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Boston!

Absolutely the BEST PLAY ON EGGS BENE ONE EVER EATEN! The perfect poached egg, firm white and soft,runny yolk. The bechemel cheese sauce was sooo good with the corned beef hash and buttered English muffin! The homefries were seasoned well and the Italian sausage on the side was the kicked to knock it out! Yasu ti Kanis from Charlotte! I'll always be back along as I visit the Boston area!

Fantastic homestyle breakfast in a down to earth atmosphere. Decent coffee. Cash only. Our waitress was very friendly. It is a little small but the tables were well spaced.
