Crema's Take

Tucked into Old City Philadelphia, this intimate café pairs exceptional pastries—particularly those buttery chocolate croissants and delicate French macarons—with thoughtfully sourced coffee from local roaster Vibrant. With just two tables (one inside, one out) and genuinely warm baristas who take real pride in their craft, it's the kind of small, unhurried spot where you feel genuinely welcomed, whether you're grabbing a quick cold brew or settling in for a slow morning.

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, good cold brew. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

The coffee and pastries here are great. The two baristas were very helpful and they took pride in their coffees. There is only two tables, one inside and one outside. So if you’re looking for a place to get some computer work space is limited. Very nice place.

Kind and courteous employees. They let us use the restroom and gave us free water. I bought an iced tea and it was great as well. The place is clean and cozy. Not overcrowded and everything is decently priced. They even gave us directions. Would recommend!

Omg! This place has the BEST chocolate croissants I have ever had! I love chocolate! In fact, I am a chocoholic, but I do believe chocolate has its place, and I usually don't care for mixing chocolate and regular bread products. However, the chocolate in these croissants was…
