Crema's Take

Tucked into Washington Avenue, this utilitarian-style spot brings approachable espresso-focused drinks alongside creative signature beverages and grab-and-go fare that makes it perfect for a quick caffeine fix or a lingering visit with family. The crew clearly prioritizes hospitality—whether they're gracefully handling equipment mishaps or pointing visitors toward the best spots in Portland—and their willingness to embrace the quirky (they serve beer in boots) keeps things feeling refreshingly unpretentious. Fair warning: some items like the pocket-ritos arrive pre-made, but the genuine warmth of the team and their all-day hours make it a genuine neighborhood anchor worth returning to.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Stopped by so my wife could use the bathroom and the ladies working were super kind and gave me instructions on where to go in Portland - it was extremely helpful as I just arrived here. Also the Mexican soda is pretty good and cute.

Happy to be one of your first customers on your opening day. We are visiting Portland from Toronto… The brisket sandwich and the Wilson’s drink were absolutely delicious. Our toddler devoured it!
