Crema's Take

Tucked near UCSC, this cozy spot delivers genuinely kind service and reliably excellent espresso drinks, making it the perfect refuge when you need to escape campus chaos for a quick, quality break. The Vietnamese Iced Coffee and croissant sandwiches are solid picks, though fair warning—their cup lids can be a bit finicky. It's small and perpetually buzzing with students, but that energy is part of its charm.

It was such a lovely spot to take a quick break and have an iced soy latte, Vietnamese Iced Coffee, and yummy croissant sandwiches. When you're at UCSC and in the thick of hustle and bustle, take a 15-minute break to recharge your battery.
