Crema's Take
“The lattes here are genuinely excellent and creative—regulars rave about both classic execution and seasonal innovations like their berry smoothies—and the recently relocated space has the kind of unhurried, design-conscious vibe that makes you actually want to linger with a book or laptop. The staff is consistently described as kind and welcoming, the food (quiches, bakery items) holds its own, and prices feel fair for the quality, which explains why people keep coming back to this NewBo area spot.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

See all on Google →Ordered a double white mocha latte. I got there about 9am. There were a couple people working on lap tops and a few people came in to get a drink to go. Close convenient parking.
Perfect coffee shop. Great lattes and creative flavors. Food is good as well. The free edge wood counters and overall design makes you want to stay a while.
Atmosphere reminds me of Iowa City long ago when the downtown there was entrepreneurial and culturally edgy. Have had lattes and bakery. Delicious; priced fairly; genuinely kind and welcoming staff.
They moved! No longer in the Newbo building but a block away towards the river. New space is welcoming and includes a couple 6 person tables if you have a group. Same great people, coffee and food!
Great quaint coffee shop in Newbo area. Excellent latte, and a tasty quiche! Happy they’ve opened here. 👍🏻
Cozy little coffee shop in Newbo. I love this new location.
